NUM emerges as an avant-garde duo formed by Maryam Sirvan and Milad Bagheri in 2010, in the cultural tapestry of northern Iran. Their artistic domain orbits around electroacoustic music, sound art, and multimedia performance/installation, leveraging digital signal processing and data manipulation to craft immersive audio-visual compositions. Their distinguished presence has adorned festivals, art residencies, interdisciplinary projects, and exhibitions across West Asia, Europe, and Canada, marking an indelible imprint on the global arts scene. In 2021, their creative voyage took them to Calgary, augmenting its music landscape with their pioneering artistry.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
