Deconstructing the construct

Southeast Asia, Too, Is on Map of Islamic Art - New York Times

Great article to start the day!
I like it because it demonstrates how museums are currently grappling with the boundaries of "Islamic art" definitions - which themselves are largely products of a western museology tradition.

It can only result in more nuanced understandings of Islamic visual culture - and do great things for the mainstreaming of the discipline.

so rah rah!
