The 2018 International Arts Festival is the inaugural event of Jubilee Arts where Ismaili artists from around the world will come together and showcase their talents in one of three anchor events: a Talent Showcase; a Film Festival; and an Art Gallery. The International Arts Festival is a unique opportunity for the global Jamat to experience our rich cultural traditions and plurality through artistic expression. The festival will be a multi-day event where Jamati artists, patrons, and volunteers will unite to celebrate the best artistic talent and capabilities across our worldwide community.

Jubilee Arts is a Diamond Jubilee International Programme that endeavors to create a deeper appreciation for the arts within the Jamat. Jubilee Arts will be a legacy programme of the Diamond Jubilee and aims to create opportunities for aspiring Ismaili artists from around the world to showcase and further develop their talents both during and beyond the Diamond Jubilee year.

Jubilee Concerts is an international Diamond Jubilee initiative launched to provide a global platform for the Jamat to celebrate this historic occasion through music, and to encourage a greater appreciation for music among the Jamat and wider community. Jubilee Concerts is pleased to announce that two concerts have been organised as part of the Diamond Jubilee Celebration in Lisbon.

Rays of Light is an exhibition depicting Mawlana Hazar Imam’s commitment through the past 60 years to uphold the Ismaili Imamat’s mandate of improving the human condition. His humanitarian work has benefitted all; regardless of gender, race, religion, or nationality. This exhibition offers a glimpse of that work.

Ethics in Action provides an insight into the human dimension of the Ismaili Imamat’s efforts to improve quality of human life through the endeavour of the Aga Khan Development Network. As a Diamond Jubilee initiative, the exhibition aims to engage and enlighten visitors through a thoughtful and immersive experience, and illustrates how AKDN’s ethical underpinnings can positively influence development work around the world.
