Abstract
Fall 2021 Exhibition:
Guest curated by Bobby Rogers and presented by The Bureau
Exhibit on view SEP 17 - Dec 17, 2021 at the University of St. Thomas
Inspired by the 2014 #BeingBlackAndMuslim that was initiated by the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative, Bobby Rogers created a series of photographs that challenge the mainstream meaning of what it means to be “Muslim.” Much like the unjust treatment of Black individuals in our country, Rogers states “there is, and always has been, an erasure of Black Muslims from our historical teachings in America, just as there is an erasure of Black and Muslim cultures worldwide.” Read more about the exhibit ...
