This exhibition presents 75 works by women artists who were born or live in what can broadly be termed Islamic societies. Largely perceived as voiceless and invisible, they are neither. Each through her unique vision is fashioning not only her own definition of self but also helping to redefine and empower women everywhere and to challenge still-persistent stereotypes.

Saturdays & Sundays 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
