A photographic and multimedia exhibition depicting the Aga Khan’s lifelong commitment to improving various facets of the human condition is coming to Calgary.
Temina Lalani-Shariff, with the Ismaili Council for the Prairies, says the exhibit, Rays of Light: Glimpses into the Ismaili Imamat, takes place from Aug. 24 to Sept. 1. “This is a global exhibition. It was inaugurated first in 2009 in Paris at the close of the Aga Khan’s golden jubilee year,” she says.
“We are the third date across Canada. It kicked off in Edmonton earlier this summer and then it’s been to Vancouver.”
The exhibition takes place at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary.
“It’s essentially a multi-dimensional exhibit. It’s a professional grade exhibit that’s got photographs of some of the archives of His Highness the Aga Khan. So some of his personal archives. Some personal photos as well as a combination and a collection of photos that have been across the different institutions of the Aga Khan development network,” she says.
