Presenting the Art of the Islamic World in a post-911 Landscape–WT Young
Auditorium. Sponsored by the Islamic Society of Somerset, the College of Fine
Arts, and the Honors Program. The Challenge of Interpretation is a lecture
by Navina Najat Haidar, the curator and driving force behind the new Islamic
galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In November 2011,
after an almost decade-long reinstallation project, the Metropolitan Museum of
Art opened new galleries for the art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central
Asia and later South Asia. While rediscovering the Met’s extraordinary
collection was at the heart of the overwhelmingly positive response of
audiences, the fresh interpretations offered in the display also played an
important role in giving the works of art a new meaning and relevance. The
political and cultural landscape against which the reinstallation was conceived
and executed also influenced audience responses. Haidar will reflect on some of
the curatorial decisions and institutional strategies that shaped the galleries
on November 15th.
