CALIFORNIA---From the Taj Mahal, built by a 17th century Mughal emperor to honor his wife, to Ms. Marvel, a comic book character created in part by Muslim author G. Willow Wilson, the art of Islam could fill a thousand museums. Since you probably can’t go to all of them, a new four-month program is bringing some of that art to you. The Los Angeles Islam Arts Initiative, which launched in early September, brings together some 30 cultural institutions to present art exhibitions, panels, discussions, and performances all over the city. The events and exhibitions feature traditional art from various Islamic regions alongside contemporary cinema and music. [link]
