Art Inspires Talk to See Jewish-Muslim Relations in New Way

SUNY CORTLAND

"Re-Imagining Relations, no. 2" (2010) by Shari Diamond

NEW YORK---SUNY Cortland will look at Jewish-Muslim relations in a new light, through similarities that bind the religions, when a visiting artist and professor emeritus speak at the Dowd Gallery in downtown Cortland on Tuesday, Oct. 9. “New Ways of Seeing: Jewish-Muslim Relations” begins at 5 p.m. at Main Street SUNY Cortland, located at 9 Main St., on its third floor. The event, which is free and open to the public, highlights the work of Shari Diamond, a Brooklyn-based artist who seeks to highlight the similarities between Jewish and Muslim faiths through photographs. Sanford Gutman, a SUNY Cortland professor emeritus of history, will provide a historical context for Diamond’s images. The joint lecture is part of the “Remembered/Re-imagined” exhibition, which runs until Saturday, Oct. 20. [link]
