Honouring a Legacy

The Majdi Bou-Matar Bursary

Coinciding with the start of our Giving Tuesday campaign in 2022, MT Space launched a new initiative in collaboration with the family of Majdi Bou-Matar—in memory of our visionary, founding artistic director. All ticket sales and donations from our Honouring Majdi event on December 1st, 2022 as well as ongoing donations given through CanadaHelps have gone towards establishing a new bursary fund.

 

This fund is dedicated to offering financial support as well as mentorship from MT Space to a newcomer, immigrant, racialized, and emerging artist—on an annual basis.

 

As of December 2022 we had already raised $15,000, with a goal of raising $50,000 by September 2023 and naming the first beneficiary at the IMPACT23 Festival.

Founded in 2004 by Majdi Bou-Matar, MT Space has grown from producing one show every year to a touring company that also presents a season of theatre and a biennial international theatre festival called IMPACT.

Now under the leadership of Pam Patel, MT Space continues to engage and challenge audiences, bringing different communities together to create a community of difference.
