From the Boston MFA:

“Ubaydallah Ahmad and Ismael Muhammad Nieves might seem like very different artists. Muhammad is rooted in street art and imbeds narratives in his works that echoes graffiti’s love of letters. Ahmed was trained in Arabic-script calligraphy, including some of the earliest Arabic scripts found in Qurʾan manuscripts. But both artists are also Muslim and they think about what it means to be a Muslim artist, especially in public spaces—both in museums and galleries, but also in the streets.

Join us for a conversation between Ubaydallah Ahmad and Ish Muhammad about art, Islam, and public spaces.

Ubaydallah Ahmad, artist

Ismael Muhammad Nieves, artist”
