Dear friends, family, and supporters,

We are deeply honored to share that our festival and its founder, Sahba Aminikia, have been selected as one of the winners of the 2025 Aga Khan Music Award "for visionary creativity in founding and guiding the Flying Carpet Festival, which draws on the transformative power of art and music to enrich the lives of children in conflict zones" - a recognition that belongs not only to us but to everyone who has walked alongside this journey of sound, hope, and magic, including artists, Sirkhane Social Circus School and our donors and supporters.

 Together with Pınar Demiral, the founder of Sirkhane, they will be traveling to London between November 21–23 to proudly receive the Aga Khan Music Award on behalf of our entire Flying Carpet and Sirkhane family.
