We're bringing home another piece by Anila Quayyum Agha this week, the third in our small collection of 121 pieces. As an interdisciplinary artist, Agha creates artwork that explores the barriers of race, religion, and gender.  In the last year, she's been our artist of the week thrice, because of the news she generates, including this week's story about the "Transcendent Spirituality" exhibit in Vermont. This week you too can also find a tiny 5"x5" painting by Agha at the Arts Council of Indianapolis, and that's why Anila Quayyum Agha is our artist of the week.
