Project overview

Project 71 – Desi GuitR sees artist Aziz Ibrahim create new work with its root in his unique guitar expertise.  With a focus on ancient South Asian classical instruments, blending musical genres and working collaboratively, cross-media and digitally, he will share their beauty and relevance with contemporary audiences. He will use the sonic capabilities of these instruments to ‘translate’ their essence for heritage, arts, mainstream, online and community spaces, facilitating a free flow of knowledge and cultural exchange in meaningful ways for existing, new and currently disengaged audiences.
