Upcoming Events
Featured Artist: Setara Haidari
Unabridged is honored to host Setara Haidari, a philosophy graduate and Afghan artist, who will display her paintings and mixed-media artworks at our community space throughout the month of March.
Through her conceptual and mixed-media artworks, Haidari strives to convey her message to society and conceptual art enthusiasts, contributing to the creation of a beautiful transformation towards a discrimination-free community. Each of her paintings tells a unique story, rooted in reality and personal experience.
The exhibit will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. on March 7 (special hours for First Friday) and will be available to view thereafter during regular Akimbo Bookshop hours.
Haidari will discuss her work at a special event on March 8.

Moonlight + Manuscripts Gala
Thanks to you, our inaugural gala was a huge success!
We are so overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of support of our inaugural gala. Thanks to all of you, we are now entering talks to secure an event space and have the resources to finalize our 2025 programming. Your generosity has ensured that we can further our mission and our efforts to advocate for and protect human rights in our community and beyond.
Your contributions not only helped us reach our goal but also demonstrated the incredible power of community coming together for a shared purpose and the ways in which we can make a lasting impact in our community together.
Your presence and kindness alone uplifted us and reinforced our belief in the work we do. It inspires us to dream bigger and achieve more.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being an essential part of this milestone.
We couldn’t have done it without you and we are honored to be in partnership with each and every one of you.
With immense gratitude,
