ALHAMDU | MUSLIM FUTURISM is an evolving experiential art exhibition and digital archive created by MIPSTERZ that explores Muslim Futurism—a cultural and artistic aesthetic that learns from the evolution of Afrofuturism and imagines a broader Muslim future free from the oppression of today, set in a utopic tomorrow of our collective creation.
We envision a future where we are all free to create a world that is bold, radical, and uniquely our own. We hope to create conversations centered around the following themes:
We are looking for all types of artwork, including but not limited to painting, illustration, calligraphy, collage, sculpture, photography, film/video, sound/music, textiles, poetry, and performance. Written submissions should be open to adaptation to multiple formats.
Support for this exhibition as part of the ALHAMDU immersive art experience is provided by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art’s Building Bridges Program. Additional support provided by the Rubenstein Center for the Arts at Duke University, Duke Performances, the Center for Afrofuturist Studies, Colorado College, and the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami.
