Capture The Spirit of Ramadan | Symposium and Photography Workshop
© 2014 Islamis Arts Museum Malaysia
I think some of you guys have already receive the invitation from Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia and I believe that some of you might have already registered for the Symposium and the Workshops. The space is limited but don’t worry though, I think you can still visit the “Capture The Spirit of Ramadan” Exhibition.
Among the highlights is Masterclass Photography Workshop With Peter Sanders, for those of you who have no idea, shoo is Peter Sanders, I share with you a little bit about his bio :
PETER SANDERS began his career in the mid 1960s as one of London’s key photographers of rock musicians. His pictures of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Who and many others performing are classics of the genre. In 1970, he set off for India, cameras in hand. He travelled for seven months. This trip became a spiritual odyssey that led him onto Morocco and thereafter to the Holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, where he photographed the hajj, at a time when few professional photographers had access to Islam’s holiest sanctuaries.
Continuing to travel far and wide, Peter Sanders has built up a photographic archive of well over a quarter of a million transparencies from forty countries around the world. His first book ‘In The Shade of the Tree’ (now in its second reprint) gives a wonderful insight into the diversity of the Muslim cultures around the world whilst his second book ‘The Art of Integration, Islam in England’s green and pleasant land’, shows an alternative picture of Muslims integrated completely within British society. From Eton, Sandhurst, District Judges and the House of Lords, to supermarkets, transport workers, poets, artists and musicians.
