"Zohran Mamdani's artist wife Rama Duwaji was spotted teaching a ceramics class in a trendy Brooklyn neighborhood Thursday night - while her socialist husband was trading barbs during the New York City mayoral debate. Duwaji, 28, skipped out on supporting her hubby during the debate and instead spent the evening instructing a workshop on ceramic tile design at a buzzy new Levantine bistro called Huda in East Williamsburg, according to photos obtained by The Post."
"The $95-a-ticket workshop began at 5 p.m. and ended at 7:30 p.m. - a half hour after Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa took to the debate stage. Photos show Duwaji, dressed in black with gold jewelry, standing in front of a projected image of different swatches of underglaze combinations used to paint ceramics. The workshop was set to focus on "fruit iconography with damascene tile design," where participants would design their "own ceramic tiles to take home," according to the event page."
"Mamdani and Duwaji first met on Hinge in 2021. Duwaji is Texas-born with Syrian descent and works as both a ceramist and illustrator, who has had recent illustrations published in outlets like New York Magazine. They just held an extravagant wedding in July, tying the knot after four years of dating. The couple lives together in Astoria, Queens, in a rent-stabilized apartment."
