Express Newark presents “Powers of the Unseen.” Featuring photography works that explore the Muslim concept of the Unseen (al-Ghayb), which refers to that which is hidden from the visible world and beyond human perception.
Co-curated by Sandrine Colard, Wendell Marsh, Alex Dika Seggerman, and Aude Tournaye, the exhibition features photography by 13 international artists including Younes Baba-Ali, Yasi Alipour, Laylah Amatullah Barrayn, Charlotte Brathwaite, Nene Aïssatou Diallo, Binta Diaw, Bruno Hadjih, Chester Higgins, Amina Kadous, Baseera Khan, Gordon Parks, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, and Malick Welli.
The artist explore the space between the visible and invisible, spirituality, and the limits of perception. With connections to Muslim-majority contexts, their art resists singular labels, questioning the standard geographies of the “Muslim World.”
