50 Years of Migration Exhibition Coming Soon
Coming Soon - Starting June 15
50 Years of Migration is a first-of-its-kind exhibition at Headquarters Jamatkhana that will follow over 50 years of immigration of Shi’a Imami Ismaili Muslims to Canada.
Through hundreds of first-hand accounts, photographs, documents, interviews, and more, the exhibition will explore the events in East Africa in the early 1970s that led to the first mass immigration of over 6,000 Ismaili Muslims to Canada who fled their homelands in search of refuge elsewhere. The exhibition also explores recent immigration stories of other Ismaili newcomers from Syria, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, India, Pakistan, and beyond.
Stay tuned for more details.
