Curating the “City of Faith” - New Directions in Representing Religion in Contemporary Life

How do museum exhibitions about religion shape public understandings of religion and race today? What are some of the challenges and prospects that curators and museum professionals face in “representing religion” to diverse audiences? This event brings Azra Dawood, curator of the exhibit, “City of Faith: Religion, Activism, and Urban Space,” currently on display at the Museum of the City of New York, into conversation with Najam Haider, Professor of Religion at Barnard College. Following a presentation on the exhibit, which has a particular focus on South Asian communities in New York, they will address these questions and more, before Q&A from the audience.
