A new and expanded Islamic Center of
Indiana is under construction in White Township, just outside of Indiana
Borough. This is the town’s first
official building dedicated specifically for Islamic prayer. In recognition of this event, the
Annex Gallery at Indiana University of Pennsylvania is proud to host an
exhibition of photographs by Robert Gerhardt that report on mosques
and Muslim communities around the country.
Gerhardt began making
photographs for this series on the first night of Ramadan in 2010, and continued
to make photographs for the project in subsequent years.
The series has
been shown at many college and university art galleries around the country
in an effort to
create ongoing dialogue between Muslims and non-Muslims in both rural and urban
communities.
There will be a reception held on October 30 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Gallery Hours
Monday through Friday: 12:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
