The planned exhibition, Treasured Ornament: 10 Centuries of Islamic Art, features ancient and modern Islamic glassware, ceramics, metalwork, painting, weaponry and more, which the Frick said in a 3 October press release sought to invoke “the rich history of the Islamic world and the shared human experiences that bind us”.
(…) “When war broke out in the Middle East, we were as heartbroken as everyone, and we realised that we were about to open an exhibition that a forgiving person would call insensitive, but for many people, especially in our community, would be traumatic.”
ten centuries of islamic art that predates the creation of modern nation states itself is somehow related to israeli occupation of palestine. its incredible how persistent and pervasive racism is in the united states, islamic civilization itself is held collectively responsible into historical time itself. held eternally guilty for whatever spectre of baby eating terrorists has been conjured up to justify bombing gazan children.
