A New Light: Experience this New Exhibit at Toronto's Aga Khan Museum

Visit this Toronto museum from July 13, 2024 to March 17, 2025 to see Anila Quayyum Agha’s art installation A Thousand Silent Moments (Rain Forest), 2024.

A box with black borders and sides etched with ornate designs floats in the middle of a room with green walls and a brown floor. The light omitted from the box and through the designs projects leaf-like shadows on the room.

Art lovers, prepare to be illuminated. For its 10th anniversary, the Aga Khan Museum celebrates the continual, unifying impact of light with the exhibition “Light: Visionary Perspectives.” The building itself— designed to showcase the interplay of light and shadow—provides the perfect thematic backdrop for the immersive show. It features artists such as Anila Quayyum Agha, whose previous work has included projecting light through laser-cut steel lanterns to bathe walls in traditional Islamic motifs.
