"Intersections" by Anila Quayyun Agha

INDIANA---Anila Quayyun Agha is one of the finalists in the 3rd annual See.Me : Year In Review competition, an international, all-medium-encompassing open call for art. There are two levels of winning in this competition. First, a $10,000 Grand Prize Winner decided by the See.Me judging panel; and secondly a $2,500 cash grant from the public vote [Vote Here]. Aga's large scale patterned wood project explores the intersections of culture and religion, and a smaller version of this was included in the 2013 A&O Prize exhibition. "The Intersections project takes the seminal experience of exclusion as a woman from a space of community and creativity such as a Mosque," wrote Aga, "and translates the complex expressions of both wonder and exclusion that have been my experience while growing up in Pakistan.
