Join the artist Khalilah Sabree and Imam Khalil Abdullah, the assistant dean for Muslim Life at Princeton, for a wide-ranging conversation that explores Sabree’s work in relation to her faith, her identity as an African American Muslim, and the role of art in the Muslim world. With a bold and emotive layering of imagery, Sabree’s paintings meditate on loss and the devastations of war.
Watch recorded conversation here.
