QUEEN: The Muslim Woman

"QUEEN" pays tribute to extraordinary women who defied history with their audacious ascension to thrones at times when the West was grappling with basic women's rights. This exhibit showcases works by female artists, each with her own creative and distinct style of art. The artworks will exemplify Muslim Queens throughout history including Razia Sultan of India, Queen Amina of Zaria (Nigeria), and Ottoman Sultana Kösem, among others, honoring not only the brave accomplishments of these incredible women but also the broader narratives of strength, resilience, and wisdom displayed by countless Muslim women throughout historyacross Africa and Asia.
