✨ Introducing ISHQ ✨

This October, Toronto comes alive with a month-long celebration of art as devotion.

ISHQ is a bold new platform presenting powerful, heart-opening experiences that transcend language, culture, and form. Through music, dance, poetry, theatre, film, and conversation, ISHQ brings together internationally acclaimed artists and deeply rooted community voices in a shared spirit of devotion.

📆 October 1–26, 2025 | 📍 Toronto, Canada

Rooted in ritual and tradition yet reaching beyond borders, ISHQ invites you on a journey of connection and discovery.
