UTAH--- The Utah Museum of Fine Arts is scheduled to showcase two exhibits of Hindu art in upcoming months. The first show is a traveling exhibition “Moksha: Photography by Fazal Sheikh,” which showcases black-and-white photographs that tell the story of outcast widows taking refuge in a holy Indian city, Vrindavan. In order to educate the public concerning the significance of the exhibit, Kelly said the museum decided to create a sister-showcase of the Hindu Lord Krishna, which will run from Aug. 8 through Nov. 20. For more information on the show, visit the Utah Museum of Fine Arts website. [link]
