Shafaqna English- A new organization dedicated to promoting Islamic arts and heritage has been launched at the House of Lords in Westminster.
More than a hundred people packed into a room in the House of Lords to mark the opening of the Forum for Islamic Art, Architecture & Cultural Heritage, spearheaded by Baroness Nosheena Mobarik, a prominent Conservative peer.
The forum says its mission is to “celebrate and share the intellectual and cultural achievements of Islamic civilisation” and to provide a “platform for dialogue, education, and public engagement”.
Guests included over two dozen British peers, several ambassadors from Muslim-majority countries and figures in the fields of architecture and cultural heritage.
