The qawwals move effortlessly between and among several languages and traditions across centuries, allowing for a fascinating inventiveness, rich in poetic and spiritual symbolism. This event is free and open to the public.  We are not requiring, but strongly recommending, registering for the event.  Save the Date, too, for a special Lunch and Learn on Sufi poetry with Associate Professor of History Modhumita Roy and Muslim Chaplain Khan Shairani on Wednesday, November 5 at Noon!
