About the Organization
MIRAAS Culture Society
Arts, Culture & Heritage
MIRAAS is a Calgary-based South Asian arts and culture initiative creating space for the stories, creativity, and evolving identities of South Asian communities and the diaspora. Through independent film screenings, music, visual art, cultural experiences, and community events, MIRAAS connects emerging creatives with audiences and creates opportunities to experience South Asian culture beyond traditional boundaries.
Rooted in Calgary and open to everyone, MIRAAS celebrates the cultures we inherit, the cultures we create, and the ways we reimagine them. Our goal is to make arts and culture more accessible, amplify underrepresented voices, support independent artists and filmmakers, and build meaningful connections across communities through shared creative experiences.
