A Tribute to Muslim Culture in NYC
Muslim Voices: Arts & Ideas is a major cultural event that will be taking place in New York City from today, June 5th until June 14th.
“The arts and cultural exchange programs have the unique power to create new connections between people locally and globally. On behalf of all of us at Asia Society, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), and New York University Center for Dialogues, we are pleased to welcome you to Muslim Voices: Arts & Ideas–the largest, multi-venue celebration of Islamic cultures ever presented in the United States. “
Read an interesting New York Times article on the festival, too, which reports that “the cross-cultural dialogue will be explicit as well. About 50 artists, scholars, religious and community leaders from around the world will gather…in Brooklyn Heights on Saturday and Sunday to discuss new ways to use cultural diplomacy and gain audiences for Muslim artists.”
