2014 ArtPrize Winner ‘Intersections’ Heading to Boston, Featured by National Geographic [Video]

Anila Quayyum Agha’s "Intersections" won the Public Vote and was co-winner of the Juried Grand Prize at ArtPrize 2014.

The popular entry is heading to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass., just north of Boston. "Intersections" was also recently featured by National Geographic. 

Boston Magazine reports "Intersections" will be at the Peabody Essex Museum from February 6 through July 10.

Sona Datta, Peabody Essex Museum’s curator of Indian and South Asian art, talked to Boston Magazine about "Intersections":

The kind of arbitrary categorizations that get set up in one’s life and the desire to transcend them is something that she tries to do in this work, and I think she achieves it. She does it through beauty.

A video of "Intersections" from Rice University, which hosted the piece late last year, was recently featured by National Geographic.
