Artists Sangeetha Kowsik & Paul Barchilon join our Deputy Executive Director Lina Ali for an Artist Talk
Entitled A CROSS-FAITH TRAJECTORY into ISLAMIC ART
In which they share their unique perspectives as a Hindu and a Jewish creative practicing Islamic Art.
—I will discuss my journey being Indian American, being the daughter of Indian immigrants (my father is a Hindu Temple builder/priest), a Parsons graduate, my work in the fashion/graphic/museum/skateboarding/luxury industries, to my journey into Arabic/Islamic Calligraphy, becoming a Hindu Spiritual Advisor, my friendship with an Imam & Sheikha, interfaith religious/cultural practices between Hindus & Muslims in India, and why all these life experiences influence my artistic practices! HUGE THANK YOU TO https://muslimmuseum.org/ for inviting me to share my journey, I am deeply honored and thrilled! –Sangeetha Kowsik
