On 13-14 March, marking Women’s History Month, HIYA will host a 12-hour music marathon bringing together an all-female line-up of progressive DJs, musicians, singers, poets and artists from across the SWANA region who are shaping the future of music. A two-day digital festival, as a statement against the patriarchy, HIYA Live presents a whirlwind of radical sounds across multiple genres, through intimate live performances, DJ sets, poetry readings and interviews curated by Natalie Shooter and Shirine Saad.
