MASSACHUSETTS---How did a groundbreaking group show on contemporary Islam happen in rural New England? The Boston Marathon bombing was a recent memory, and the need for a more expansive, nuanced understanding of modern Islam culture(s) was at an all time high. The project grew into a multicultural initiative, at its core a group art show, both juried and invitational, featuring 24 artists from Australia, Pakistan, UK, France, Morocco, Bahrain and Senegal as well as artists from the Berkshires, New England, Canada and New York.
