In November 2015 IHRC launched its new exhibition featuring the work of a number of artists from the collective Variant Space.

‘Invisible Lines’ showcased Variant Space artists fresh from their appearance at the Shubbak Festival. This was a chance to see the artists’ work in the unique and intimate IHRC Gallery spaces. Comprising of Muslim female artists from an array of backgrounds, Variant Space is an art collective that aims to create and display “authentic art which narrates the experiences women face as well as their background.”

Featuring a multitude of mixed media including 3D-works, illustrations, photography and video – the exhibition also displayed art ‘in-progress’. The idea is that the artist and the artist’s work is never in stasis as both are constantly developing and changing.

The exhibition curator Nasreen Shaikh Jamal al-Lail said:

“The space IHRC provides for artists to explore issues of identity and conflict is invaluable and ‘Invisible Lines’ is a real culmination of this exploration from the point of view of young Muslim women.”
