ISLAMIC HISTORY
The main exhibition in our Islamic History Gallery is a collaborative exercise and will expand over the coming months. If you would like to write one of the 'Dynasty/Empire' pages, please submit a 250-350 word sample outline summarising the history and any significant features of that period, along with a brief biography, to: [email protected]. Kindly ensure that you put 'Islamic History Co-Created Gallery' in the subject line.
Please ensure that anything you submit is your own work and does not infringe any copyright legislation. We will not use your written submission without your expressed permission and proper acknowledgement of your authorship. If selected, contributors will be asked to supply 6-8 images that relate to the theme with a caption for each image following the style here.
DIRECTORY OF ARTISTS, WRITERS, CURATORS & HERITAGE PROFESSIONALS
As part of our supporting mission for creatives and heritage professionals of Muslim heritage and those inspired by the arts and heritage of the Muslim world, we are creating a Directory to link them with individuals and cultural organisations looking for their expertise. We have started our Directory with a selections of profiles of professionals in the Midlands. We will be adding further profiles and expanding to other UK regions shortly. If you would like us to consider a profile of you and your work, please complete the document linked here and submit it along with 6-8 high quality images to: [email protected] (you will need to download the file and then 'enable editing'). Kindly ensure that you put 'Directory' in the subject line.
Notes: Section B of the Directory Form is optional and, if completed, will be used to create a more detailed profile in the 'Contemporary Artists' Gallery. In Section C of the form, you must only include the contact information that you would like for us to share on your public profile. Please include labels and a reference image in Section D as well as attaching a properly labelled image to the body of your email.
Whilst we would like to support as many artists as possible, we reserve the right to select or reject profiles at our discretion and to publish them according to our own workflow requirements.
