	Exhibit: "Sacred Spaces: Reflections on a Sufi Path" 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology: Harvard University \| 11 Divinity Avenue 02138 617.496.1027 \| peabody.harvard.edu Imaginative, vibrant, and saturated with the rich colors of South Asia, Samina Quraeshi's photographs, calligraphic works, and montages reflect the diversity of Islamic expressions of faith. Her work is a creative response to the experience of pilgrimage to the Sufi shrines in the Indus Valley. The images evoke the music, dance, and acts of faith that animate these sacred spaces. Raised in Pakistan and India, Samina Quraeshi is the first Robert Gardner Visiting Artist at the Peabody Museum. Quraeshi says, "Sufi mysticism complicates the all-too-common view that Islam is monolithic - unable or unwilling to recognize the internal plurality of devotion and interpretation among its faithful." Her images bring to life a landscape and a culture that reverberate with the Sufi traditions of mystical Islam. The exhibition includes photographs, calligraphy, and mixed media compositions.


	Exhibit: "Re-View" 10:00 AM - 05:00 PM Harvard Art Museum \| 485 Broadway 02138 617.495.9400 \| harvardartmuseum.org This survey of approximately 600 works from the Harvard Art Museums three museums - the Fogg, the Busch-Reisinger, and the Arthur M. Sackler - is a unique installation of objects that have historically been exhibited in separate facilities. The Harvard Art Museum has one of the country's preeminent art collections, and Re-View reflects the diversity and richness of these holdings. The exhibition, which includes familiar highlights, features Western art from antiquity to the present as well as Islamic and Asian art. Re-View is on long-term view at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum and provides a selected, ongoing display of the collections while the Art Museum's building at 32 Quincy Street - the former home of the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger - is closed for renovation. This major renovation and expansion project designed by architect Renzo Piano, with completion anticipated in 2013, will unite the three museums in a single, state-of-the-art facility. harvardartmuseum.org/re-view
