Veiled is an exhibition at the Textile Museum of Canada by Andrew McPhail, Grace Ndiritu and Tazeen Qayyum which “examines the act of veiling the body
not only as a material and physical gesture, but also as an emotional and
personal process” and “the idea of a veil as a poetic device for the
investigation of public vs. private space, protection and intimacy.”
There will be a series of lectures around this topic such as
“Art of the Veil: Commoditization of a Cultural Practice?” where experts will
speak at the museum. I suppose that I will have to leave my assumptions at the
door and approach the point of view given by the speakers with an open mind
although I already have some strong feelings after seeing the exhibit. The
pictures will give you a truncated tour of the installation.
