2022 SEEN Virtual Exhibition
The SEEN National Virtual Art Exhibition, inspired by the Aga Khan Museum Exhibition IMAGE? The Power of the Visual, explores self-representation through the lens of how we portray ourselves individually, as a community and in the world at large.
In 2022, the Canadian Ismaili community was invited by Aga Khan Council for Canada, National Arts and Culture Portfolio, to express their interest in participating in a national virtual art exhibition. The selected pieces in this exhibition are all original artworks which met the assessment criteria and reflect the various prompts of the IMAGE? The Power of the Visual Exhibition (www://image.agakhanmuseum.org/). The four prompts are: Power and Authority, Faith and Spirituality, Values and Ideals and Identity and Self.
Through visual arts, short films and spoken word, each artist in this exhibition portrays how they want to be seen and how they want the viewer to see them as a way to better understand ourselves and empathise with broader humanity.
