Arakan Creative

Instigator of Quality, Truth and Positive Change

Arakan Creative is a Social Enterprise established in 2009 by actor /writer Conor Ibrahiem. It is a testament to his dream; to combine his passion for the arts with his faith to improve the British, South Asian and Muslim communites to which he belongs.

We specialise in addressing issues within the South-Asian community as well as looking at wider social ills that affect us all, from health, to community cohesion, to poverty. We seek to educate and promote dialogue through thought-provoking original theatre productions and bespoke workshops. Past projects have tackled a variety of complex issues including cultural identity, crime, racism, mental health, community cohesion, gender issues, and extremism.

In addition, we aim is to breathe new life into the rich and diverse Islamic stories, both historical and contemporary. Its history is bursting with narratives that highlight good practice, moral values and positive role models.

We welcome everybody to come along and enjoy theatre as a place to laugh and learn, in a family-friendly environment. Our work strives to foster a better relationship between us and the wider world, our neighbours and our inner world.
