Artist Talk
In Conversation: Mohammed Ali
Rich Mix, London
Tuesday 8th of April, 7.30pm - 9pm
Internationally acclaimed artist Mohammed Ali (Aerosol Arabic) speaks about his urban/spiritual style and message at the Rich Mix,
His unique fusion of aerosol art with Islamic calligraphy has taken an urban art form from street walls to galleries and spiritual art into new dimensions. His art has been reported as a “bridge of understanding” between faith communities across the world, and has been featured in international media ranging from CNN and the BBC to Al Jazeera.
He will be giving a visual slideshow / presentation on graffiti and Islamic art, entitled “The Artistic Clash of Civilisations?” followed by a screening of the short film commissioned by the Arts Council England, documenting the mural he created in New York.
