‘Departures’ exhibition

Asia House, London

April – May 2019

In April – May 2029, I curated the exhibition ‘Departures’, organised by The Barakat Trust and hosted by Asia House, London.

The exhibition featured historical photographs showing the great diversity and rich heritage of the Islamic world from the earliest days of photography to the mid-twentieth century.

I also curated an accompanying display of Instagram-sourced photographs by contemporary amateur photographers from across the Middle East, showcasing young talent from the region and providing an international platform for emerging artists.
