Pearls on a String with Qamar Adamjee
Qamar's talk will focus on the artists, patrons and poets at the great Islamic Courts whose stories are intertwined with the cultures of India, Iran, and Turkey. Pearls on a String, which has been organized by the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore in partnership with the Asian Art Museum, includes manuscripts, paintings, textiles, and ceramic and metalwork objects. Come get a preview of this exhibition with Qamar's insightful commentary on the background and life and times of the three individual "pearls" featured in the show.
