In addition to producing multimedia talks on Topics, Terms, and Themes central to the study of Islamic art, architecture, and visual culture, Khamseen hosts projects that are more expansive in their content and dynamic in their virtual engagement. These collaborations and born-digital exhibits – all created by international scholars and their teams of experts – make use of integrated technologies to explore sites, themes, objects, and images in Islamic cultural spheres in ways that are novel and cannot be realized by conventional means, such as physical exhibitions and print publications.
Some projects, like our Sino-Islamic Arts collaboration and The Futures of Islamic Art History: Remapping the Field are fully produced by Khamseen with the support of grants by the Dunhuang and Getty Foundations, respectively; others, including our Edinburgh University Library and Nature & Islamic Art modules, are co-created with international colleagues and institutions, including universities, libraries, and museums; and still others are independently produced, such as the Emamzadeh Yahya at Varamin exhibition, directed by Dr. Keelan Overton, and The Visual Culture of the Nation of Islam, spearheaded by Dr. Christiane Gruber.
Collaborations
Khamseen collaborates with institutions and scholars around the world to develop specialized content. These collaborations include a Sino-Islamic Arts project and “The Futures of Islamic Art History: Remapping the Field.” In addition, thus far we have created hands-on videos on a variety of Islamic artworks with the University of Edinburgh Library and, in 2026-27, we will launch Khamseen’s collaborations with the Aga Khan Museum, the Sadberk Hanım Museum, and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University.
