Amazon customer reviews become poetry. Poetry becomes song.

H. Sinno’s acclaimed Poems of Consumption arrives at the Aga Khan Museum on October 10, turning the everyday language of consumer culture into an arresting multimedia performance of music, poetry, and immersive visuals.

With songs drawn from Amazon reviews, H. Sinno moves through heartbreak, ennui, surveillance capitalism, boycotts, and orientalism, setting sharp observations of contemporary life against electronica and string quartet.

Originally commissioned by London’s Barbican Centre and Shubbak Festival, Poems of Consumption is at once concert, poetry, theatre, and cultural critique — finding something deeply human in the strange language of what we buy, consume, rate, and leave behind.

→ Saturday, October 10 at 8 pm
→ From $45

The conversation considers the cultural and structural barriers that shape who gets to participate, how sport can become a place of confidence and connection, and what greater equity could mean for generations to come.

What can music reveal about faith, memory, and belonging?

On September 13, The Sacred in Song: Voices from Kurdistan brings film and live music together for an afternoon exploring the spiritual and musical traditions of Kurdistan and the broader Iranian cultural sphere.

The program begins with Song of God, an intimate documentary by Iranian-Canadian filmmaker Aref Mohammadi tracing the story of Ghadamyar, a 120-year-old Kurdish Tanbūr player, and the relationship between music and Yarsan spiritual practice.

Following the film, the Andalib Ensemble takes the stage, bringing Kurdish maqams into dialogue with Persian classical music through improvisation, instrumental solos, and shared musical traditions.

→ Sunday, September 13 at 2 pm
→ From $30

The newest episode of This Being Human is out now, featuring Amreen Kadwa, founder of Hijabi Ballers.

They also discuss the partnerships helping expand that work — and Amreen’s simple advice for anyone who wants to be a better ally: stop guessing what people need, and ask.
