V&A's Venice pavilion to celebrate the British mosque

摘要

An exhibition exploring the history of the British mosque will be staged at this year's Venice Biennale as part of a collaboration between the festival and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Curated by mosque architect and writer Shahed Saleem, it will look at the self-built and often undocumented world of adapted mosques and explore how Islam has given the UK an entirely new form of architecture. The exhibition, is a response to the title of this year's Venice Architecture Biennale, How will we live together? The theme has been set by Lebanese architect Hashim Sarkis and explores how modern multicultural societies can best integrate diverse communities.
