This talk highlights the often-overlooked stories and ongoing contributions of women in South Asia’s Sufi culture and music, through the eyes of arts curator Attia Shiraz. She’ll share a short film, along with the curatorial process and inspiration behind her exhibition Awaken: Sufi Music & Women of South Asia (Royal College of Music Museum, 2024). The session offers a glimpse into the lived experiences and shared cultural spaces of Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu communities. Visitors will also get the chance to handle musical instruments and explore photos from Shiraz’s journey through Lahore, Multan, Attock, Sindh, and Karachi.
