Islamic Art: Mirror of the Invisible World” film screening and discussion facilitated by Randy Nelson and Esther Sunde takes place Thursday, April 24, 12-2 pm in RAH 125 (map) as part of the Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys project.

The film explores the richness of Islamic art in objects big and small, from great ornamented palaces and the play of light in monumental mosques to the exquisite beauty of ceramics, carved boxes, paintings and metal work. It revels in the use of color and finds commonalities in a shared artistic heritage with the West and East. The film also examines the unique ways in which Islamic art turns calligraphy and the written word into masterpieces and develops water into an expressive, useful art form.
