Anila Quayyum Agha: All the Flowers Are for Me

Now–May 30, 2021

Free admission | Advanced registration recommended | Thomas R. Schiff Gallery (Gallery 234) |  Press Release

The museum will once again present Anila Quayyum Agha: All the Flowers Are for Me. The popular exhibition, first displayed in 2017, features a work by the Pakistani and American artist Anila Quayyum Agha who creates immersive installations by manipulating light.

Light emanates from the center of a laser-cut steel cube, enveloping the gallery in intricate shadows that ripple and change as you walk through the space. Inspired by Islamic architectural forms and referencing her experience as a diaspora artist, the geometric and floral patterns cast upon the walls, floor, and ceiling create a sense of belonging through shared experience.
