Event Description : "The Hidden Art of Islam: Explore the Tradition of Figurative Art at the Heart of Islam" film screening as part of Films on Spirituality and Other Dimension Series curated by Rajiv Mehrotra.
Muslim belief and tradition specifies that there should be no depictions of God or the Prophet Muhammad. In religious contexts, this constraint on what artists can depict extends to human figures and other living creatures as well. These prohibitions have inspired a rich visual culture based on calligraphy, Arabesque floral designs, and geometry, all of which feature strongly in the art and design found throughout the Muslim world, including mosques.
With the help of fine art and religious experts, host Rageh Omaar traces the effect of these beliefs over the centuries on the art and artists of the Islamic world and considers why depictions of pilgrims taking part in the Hajj pilgrimage have become part of the accepted tradition of Islamic art, including in work exhibited at British Museum.
Format : dvd
Language : English
Directed by Faris Kermani
A film hosted by Dr. Rageh Omaar
