The seminar will explore one of the most enchanting, soulful, and transcendent art forms in the world Qawwali. For centuries, this musical tradition has been a medium for expressing love, devotion, and the spiritual connection between the human soul and the Divine. Encompassing everything from the early modern performance of 13th/14th-century Persian poetry of Amir Khusraw and Sadi Shirazi, to its modern-day development by world-renowned artists like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Abida Parveen, and to Coke Studio, the medium has been mesmerizing audiences for centuries. Photography and videography by SAMA Arts Network may be taking place during this event. For more information, visit the event page on the IIS website [https://www.iis.ac.uk/events/echoes-of-devotion].
