Group Exhibition: LANDLINE curated by Safiyah Cheatam
"Islam & Print presents LANDLINE, a multimedia group exhibition featuring contemporary Muslim artists whose diasporic identities are shaped by memory, language, spirituality, and connections to the natural world. Guest curated by Safiyah Cheatam, the exhibition brings together works that explore the enduring ties between homeland, heritage, and belonging through sculpture, printmaking, textiles, painting, and other media.
Drawing on personal and collective experiences of Islamic diaspora, the artists in LANDLINE examine familial histories, oral traditions, land dispossession, and the reimagining of memory. The exhibition's title evokes both communication across distance and the geographic boundaries through which identity is formed, revealing how cultural traditions, spiritual practices, and ancestral connections continue to resonate across generations. LANDLINE offers a nuanced and expansive vision of contemporary Islamic art, one rooted in lived experience and sustained by networks of memory, place, and care."
