Let The Beauty We Love Be What We DoCurated by Zoé WhitleyMajlis Talks 2024 convenes a dynamic cross-section of artists, architects, playwrights, musicians and filmmakers to discuss how we can collectively make and hold space. Inspired by the lines of Rumi’s poem, this will be an evening of joyous participation and talking together. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened.Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading.Take down a musical instrument.Let the beauty we love be what we do.There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
