“I accidentally went to a samba super star’s concert last night. Researching Zeca Pagodingo after the fact, it’s pretty impressive that @Luminato brought him in for a free public show. Dude is *huge*.“

“I had the deepest privilege of being in conversation with the creators and performers of 🐲 Dragon’s Tale 🐉, a majestic and poignant new opera performed on Toronto’s waterfront celebrating the origin of Dragon Boat racing.

If you haven’t already, come down to the Union Station Foodie Aisle to participate in Belonging Is; a community mural to remind us all that we are part of something, and that we are in this together.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

#AgaKhanMuseum #RhythmsOfCanada2023

The Aga Khan Museum is built on land that is and has been under the stewardship of many Indigenous peoples over millennia, including the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit Nation. We are grateful for the opportunity to work and live on this land and be in this territory.
