Summer of Know: Baseera Khan and Amani Al-Khatahtbeh

Summer of Know is a conversation series pairing contemporary artists with practitioners and thought leaders at the forefront of today’s most urgent social, political, environmental, and legal issues. Held in The Wright restaurant, these informal discussions are moderated or introduced by Guggenheim curators and engage with current issues as they are filtered through the generative lens of art.

This week’s program features artist Baseera Khan and Amani Al-Khatahtbeh, founder and editor-in-chief of MuslimGirl, in a discussion about feminism and Muslim identities moderated by Ylinka Barotto, Assistant Curator at the Guggenheim Museum.

Baseera Khan is a New York-based artist whose work shares experiences of exile and kinship shaped by economic, pop cultural, and political situations. She mixes consumerism with spirituality and treats decolonial histories, practices, and archives as geographies of the future. Amani Al-Khatahtbeh is one of the most visible Muslim faces in America. Her unprecedented immersion in mainstream audiences as an MTV host, Youtube Creator for Change ambassador, Forbes contributor and more has established her voice as an authority in Western media.
