Anila Quayyum Agha is best known for her mystically immersive installations that challenge viewer perceptions. She’s inspired an international following with work that challenges systems of oppression, including sexism and fundamentalism. We’ve traveled the nation to see her shows including yesterday’s drive to Expo Chicago, and Ernest hosts an artist talk with her on Thursday in Indianapolis. Spotlighting oppression makes Anila Quayyum Agha our artist of the week.
