Light: Visionary Perspectives

Jamelie Hassan is participating in the group exhibit hosted by The Aga Khan Museum:  Light: Visionary Perspectives.  The exhibit explores light as both a concept and an artistic medium. Taking advantage of the museum’s unique architecture, the show features installations by renowned creators including Pakistani American artist Anila Quayyum Agha, whose illuminated lattice sculptures cast intricate patterns on walls; painter and Stanford lecturer Ala Ebtekar, who uses photo­sensitive materials to turn the pages of books into night-sky images; and Governor General’s Award–­winning artist Jamelie Hassan, who uses neon signage to call attention to the power of language and how it intersects with light.
