As part of public engagement opportunities provided by the Province, ICA Vancouver is hosting this public engagement sessions in order to take the public inputs & opinion on certain questions. We would explore some of the questions via community engagement sessions such as:
1) What should be the name of this museum or cultural centre?
2) Where should it be located?
3) What kind of space should it be?
We are glad that the Province of BC has taken an initiative to make a museum or a cultural centre for the Canadians of South Asian Heritage in BC.
This is going to be the first of its kind in Canada, the Museum or Cultural Centre which will aim to reflect the diversity of the South Asian Canadian diaspora in BC – its history, heritage, arts, culture and languages.
Sangeet means music, Nritya Means Dance, Sajeevana means lively or vibrant. As the name suggests it is going to be a very lively & a vibrant evening of Indian Music & Dance!
