Each considers and re-visions the veil in its many manifestations and interpretations and puts veils and veiling into context. The exhibit intends to engage received wisdom - particularly current clichés and stereotypes about Islamic practices - and to reflect on the great ubiquity, importance and profundity of the veil throughout human history and imagination. Curated by Jennifer Heath, this exhibition is a visual companion to Heath's edited volume The Veil: Women Writers on Its History, Lore, and Politics ( University of California Press ).Megan Helwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973528422505937139noreply@blogger.com
