Exhibition Program: Interfaith Reflection and Dialogue on Divine Light

Across many religions, light is used as a symbol of divine presence on Earth. Following a tour of the museum exhibition Prayer and Transcendence, participants will engage in an interfaith dialogue in the galleries led by the Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington. The conversation will take place among Anne Lindberg's site-specific installation what color is divine light?

About the Exhibition

In the Muslim faith, carpets create physically and spiritually “clean” spaces during the daily ritual of prayer. Drawn from five collections, Prayer and Transcendence introduces the purpose and iconography of classical prayer rugs from across the Islamic world, as well as design comparisons from the Jewish tradition.
