IF IT'S SUNDAY, then there's a major museum somewhere in the world opening another exhibition of the work of Anila Quayyum Agha (2014 winner of Alpha Omega Prize). Today in Tulsa, Oklahoma, her show "Shadow of Time" opens at the Philbrook Museum of Art. "I think that the more I show in places considered conservative states, the better. I think those are the people that we need to reach to tell them that we are no different than you," says Agha. Because her work is now in red state Oklahoma, Anila Quayyum Agha is our artist of the week.
