My artwork is hanging at Fairleigh Dickens University for next two weeks for the upcoming program and display of paintings in the entrance hall of the Monninger Center. I will be giving a short presentation and talk on Islam & Art at FDU next Tuesday evening. Thanks to Arif Patel of Islamic Society of Central Jersey and Dr. Ken Sammond for connecting us.
Mirror, Soul, Vision, Belief – the relationship between Islam & Art
Purpose: This event will be an exploration of the ways that art influences and enhances the ways that Islam is lived in diverse societies around the world. The topic will be explored through a lively discussion with three Muslim artists, the screening of Robert Gardner’s documentary, Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World, and a Q & A regarding the intersection of faith and creativity.
Date/Time: April 9, 2013 @4 pm
Location: Orangerie at the Monninger Center at FDU Florham Campus
Host: Dr. Kenneth Sammond
