About the Intercultural and Creative Music Fellowship

 

The September 16 concert is the culmination of the Aga Khan Museum-Humber College Centre for Creative Business Innovation’s 2021 Intercultural and Creative Music Fellowship. This new project aims to foster a greater intercultural understanding of Muslim heritage in the world of music, while also helping emerging and early career artists achieve greater professional experience.

 

Over the 11 weeks of the program, students received mentorship from Kiya Tabassian and Agneya Chikte. They also participated in guest sessions by musician-composer Justin Gray, filmmakers Sage Petahtegoose and Imran Babur, Museum programmers Amirali Alibhai (Head of Performing Arts) and Bita Pourvash (Assistant Curator), brand and strategy expert Kondwani Mwase, research mentor Dr. Tuhin Giri (Research Coordinator, CCBI), and Jennifer Gordon, Director of Humber’s Centre for Creative Business Innovation. Fellows gained new insights into music composition, filmmaking, Islamic arts and literature, intercultural storytelling, and combining research with professional artistic practice.

 

The Humber College-Aga Khan Museum Intercultural and Creative Fellowship Concert is supported by Bashir and Farida Dhanani & Family.
