SIPA had the pleasure of hosting Iranian music archivist Ahmedali Kadivar, who visited the institute accompanied by members of the Ajam Media Collective. Kadivar, widely respected for his work in documenting and preserving Iranian musical traditions, explored SIPA’s archives and engaged in meaningful discussions with our team.

The delegation’s visit led to rich exchanges on regional music history, preservation techniques, and the cultural links shared across Iranian and South Asian musical landscapes. Their insights offered valuable perspectives for SIPA’s ongoing archival and research initiatives.

We were delighted to welcome them and look forward to future opportunities for collaboration!
