Reception Thursday January 28, 5-7 pm

Mihrab is Arabic for the sanctuary space where intense worship takes place, as well as the elaborate niche in mosque architecture that indicates the direction of Mecca. Al-Mansour assembles spiritual objects inspired by certain women in a way that epitomize their divine relationship. This project seeks to uncover the inner spiritual powers of Arab women in order to examine the concepts of equality and authority within the heart of religious belief systems.
