Sharjah:
Sharjah Museum
of Islamic Civilisation opened an exhibition that gives a glimpse into
the lives of Muslims in China as documented by photographer
Peter Sanders on Thursday.
The
exhibition titled ‘Moments in the Lives of Muslims in China — Through
the Lens of Peter Sanders’ is a comprehensive photo essay of 50
large-scale images that reflect the vibrant and diverse lives of Muslims
at work, at school, at rest, and at worship in all corners of the
country.
The images were captured over a period of 20 years by British
photographer Sanders, who is also a Muslim, and the exhibition is his
first partnership between Sharjah Museums Department (SMD). “The exhibition introduces aspects of global Muslim culture little known
in our region or even internationally through artistically outstanding
and culturally sensitive photographic works. This is a unique chance for
the UAE community to appreciate how Muslims of a distinctive culture
lead their lives and practise their faith,” said Manal Ataya,
Director-General of SMD.
