The McMullen welcomes Barjeel Art Foundation Founder Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi and curator Suheyla Takesh for a discussion of the Foundation's collection, its latest acquisitions, its mission to attain gender parity in its holdings (the exhibition at the McMullen impressively includes four women artists out of seven), and the study of modern and contemporary art from the Arab world. Curator of Landscape of Memory and Professor of Political Science and Director of the Islamic Civilization and Societies Program at Boston College will moderate the discussion. Guests are welcome to ask questions during the event.
