The Triton‘s Islamic Art Lunchtime Lecture with Nabeela Sajjad and Lubna Achikzai was fascinating and heart warming. I love the outreach their non-profit, the Islamic Art Exhibit is doing – shedding light on the beauty of the Islamic culture at a time when there is so much ignorance and fear. They are also doing some interfaith art collaborations which are so important in our multicultural world!

The Opening

This Kufic painting was so admired at the opening of the, What the Triton Means to Me exhibition, (which was the setting for this lecture) that a patron purchased it that night and donated it to the Museums’s permanent collection!
