The Aga Khan Museum, North America’s first and only museum dedicated to showcasing the arts of Muslim cultures and the contributions of Muslim civilisations to world heritage, announced the details of its upcoming podcast, This Being Human. Hosted by award- winning journalist and educator Abdul-Rehman Malik, this 26-episode bi-weekly series explores the kaleidoscopic, global experiences of modern Muslim life through the prism of arts and culture. This Being Human is one of the first arts and culture podcasts devoted to amplifying the voices of leaders redefining what it means to be Muslim in today’s rapidly changing world.

Sayed Sadat Mansoor Naderi, the State Minister for Peace and the member of the Afghan Negotiating team, recently met with Ms. Sheherazade Hirji, the AKDN Representative in Afghanistan. They discussed issues related to the Afghan peace and development and AKDN activities and cultural innovations for inclusive public participation in the peace process. The AKDN has started the initial works of the restoration of the fifth minaret in the western province of Herat.
