Exhibit was supported to start on Nov. 4, but museum has indefinitely postponed it amid Israel-Hamas war.
A Muslim civil rights group is calling on a Pittsburgh museum to reconsider its postponement of an Islamic art exhibition because it might be “insensitive” to Jewish residents amid the Israel-Hamas war., The Frick Pittsburgh “quietly postponed” the exhibition “Treasured Ornament: 10 Centuries of Islamic Art” that was scheduled to open on Nov. 4.
“This false perspective not only disregards the vast and diverse Islamic world that extends far beyond the Middle East,” she said, “but also undermines the essence of cultural diversity and appreciation that art represents.” “When war broke out in the Middle East, we were as heartbroken as everyone, and we realized that we were about to open an exhibition that a forgiving person would call insensitive, but for many people, especially in our community, would be traumatic,” Barker told the Trib.
“The key point is that we didn’t want to put our front-of-house people in the impossible position of discussing the war because we care about them and don’t want them to be vulnerable,” she said.
