Celebrating Women’s Empowerment Through Art and Fashion

On September 28, 2024, Los Angeles became the stage for a remarkable evening celebrating women’s empowerment and creativity. Hosted by producer and actress Moriah Brown, alongside Kazakh-born artist and fashion designer Dina Kabdolla based in DTLA, the 6th annual TRIBE event offered an inclusive space for female creators, entrepreneurs, and artists. The event featured the official unveiling of Kabdolla’s latest art collection, “Your Art Has Been Served,” a bold commentary on fast fashion and fast food.

The TRIBE event, held from 5:00 to 10:00 PM, was not just another networking occasion. It represented a mission to foster a vibrant community of like-minded women who champion innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The highlight of the evening was the unveiling of Kabdolla’s collection at 8:00 PM, which fused her talents as a fine artist and fashion designer into a unique showcase.

‘Your Art Has Been Served’: A Fusion of Art and Social Commentary

Kabdolla’s collection, “Your Art Has Been Served,” explores the parallels between the rapid cycles of fast fashion and fast food, encouraging viewers to reflect on the environmental and societal costs of these industries. Featuring intricate mixed-media artworks, micropen-on-canvas creations, and fashion pieces, the collection is both visually striking and thought-provoking. Kabdolla’s work reflects her deep commitment to sustainability, challenging conventional ideas of luxury by advocating for responsible consumer choices.

Inspired by her daughter, Kabdolla hopes to drive awareness about sustainability and the need for systemic change. The collection is now available for purchase online at Aya by DK,  with exclusive limited-time offers. This opportunity enables art enthusiasts and fashion lovers to own a piece of Kabdolla’s visionary work while supporting sustainable practices.

Empowering Women in the Creative Industries

The TRIBE event is more than just a platform for showcasing talent—it’s a space for building connections among women in the entertainment and creative industries. TRIBE’s inclusive environment allows attendees to engage with actors, producers, designers, artists, and entrepreneurs, fostering collaboration and mutual support.

Kabdolla’s journey with TRIBE began during a pivotal moment in her career. Reflecting on her friendship with Brown, Kabdolla shared, “During a challenging time, I told Moriah over the phone, ‘I can do everything myself.’ She replied, ‘No, you can’t. That’s not how life works.’ It reminded me of the power of womanhood and the importance of like-minded female friends who understand entrepreneurship.”

This spirit of camaraderie and support was evident throughout the evening. As the crowd of women came together to celebrate Kabdolla’s work, they exemplified the collective power of community-driven success.
