Importance of IAMCC

Despite hosting world-class institutions dedicated to Islamic art and material culture and featuring one of the most diverse populations in the world, Toronto has yet to be viewed as a destination for this field of study.

Objective

Leverage the institutional capacities and cultural significance of the UofT, AKM, and ROM to cultivate a global hub on Islamic art and material culture in Canada.

Status

Throughout 2023-24 IAMCC will continue to host programming in the form of masterclasses, distinguished public lectures, and student fellowships.
