Forthcoming in June 2008 from the University of California Press, conceived and edited by Jennifer Heath: The Veil: Women Writers On Its History, Lore, And Politics, an anthology of writings by internationally prominent scholars and essayists on veiling as a universal form of cultural expression and religious statement. |
|
The Veil: Visible & Invisible Spaces has been organized as a visual response to the myriad cultural and political aspects of veils and veiling. The exhibition will begin traveling in May 2008. Artists from the United States, Europe, South and Central Asia and the Near and Middle East are participating with powerful contemporary works that engage received wisdom about the veil – including current clichés and stereotypes about Islamic practices – and that reflect on the great ubiquity, importance, and profundity of the veil throughout human history and imagination. |
