This exhibition brings together the works of three Pakistani American artists including Carleton's own Faisal Mohyuddin '00.
Ta'weez Project No. 1 embodies a desire to explore, articulate, and celebrate the freedom of self-expression,as well as the freedom to believe and to have the choice to fully express any emotion, belief, or tradition in one's own way. And this exhibit is an attempt by three artists to explore their individual takes on the ubiquitous prevalence and beauty of cultural nuance, the imperfect science of distinguishing facts from beliefs, and the magical chemistry of life.
In an effort to maintain a heightened sense of individuality that honors the spirit of ta'weez, the artists kept their studio practices completely unknown to one other. They have not shared any ideas or interacted during the making of their works beyond the first discussion at the genesis of this idea a few months ago, Only at the time the exhibition is curated will they share their work with one another-and with the wider world,
The opening reception is open to the public.
Ta'weez Project No. 1 runs through Sunday, October 18, 2015. Gallery hours are 10 a.m, to 10 p,m, Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m, to 6 p,m, Sunday,
