New Islamic Art Exhibit in Kansas City
A new exhibition called “Echoes” is underway at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas city.
It takes classical and ancient works of Islamic art and puts them alongside contemporary pieces, casting Islamic art in a new light.
One of the most exciting things during the exhibit is by local KC artist, Asheer Akram. He designed and built a Pakistani cargo truck, a major cultural effort in Pakistan.
The "Echoes: Islamic Art and Contemporary Artists" exhibit will be held through March 30, 2014.
