British Muslims House of Lords Award Honours Scottish Muslim Artistic Director

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Alina Mirza, the Artistic Director of Glasgow-based arts and film production company Heer Productions, on being awarded the British Muslims House of Lords Honour Award 2009 for arts and culture, an award that celebrates her artistic merit and aims to highlight the tremendous work carried out by British Muslims in the United Kingdom; commends the work that she has undertaken to redress the balance of opportunities within the arts and film sector and to provide viable cultural and artistic space to black and minority ethnic communities through innovative projects in a mainstream context; supports the work that she has done to establish links between artistic institutions and practising artists in the UK and Pakistan, leading to collaborative work, and hopes that this appointment will encourage more talented British Muslims from all walks of life to realise their dreams and make lasting contributions to society.
