ABOUT THE GALLERY
What does it mean to belong? Persian and Turkish architecture, textiles and miniature paintings inspire the precise, stylized floral shapes that form Anila Quayyum Agha’s sculptural chamber of light and shadow. Designed with the intention of cultivating a sacred space for people of all genders, races and religions to feel welcome, Agha’s installation invites all who enter to contemplate what it feels like to belong: to a place, to a person or group of people, and to yourself.
Observing art can induce a “flow state” of mindfulness and activate the same part of the brain that more traditional mindfulness practices, like meditation and yoga, do. Join us on the first Sunday morning of every month (second Sundays for holiday weekends) in a guided practice of “mindful looking.” Come be still, relax and connect more deeply with artworks from PEM’s collection.
