Born in Lahore, Pakistan, Anila Quayyum Agha has a BFA from The National College of Arts and a MFA in Fiber Arts at the University of North Texas. Her projects and works approach multiculturalism with an accent on transmitting social messages, explore and propose challenging concepts which combine artistic action to social experience. The Project „Intersections”, presented in the following images, invites the watcher to discover the contradictory nature of the intersections, to explore the antagonist nature of light and shadow, public and private, static and dynamic, based on the symmetry of a geometric design inspired by Islamic sacred spaces. Anila Quayyum Agha uses light in order to propose the exploration of the interpretative shapes of geometric design, showing the interaction between nature and the created design, as well as the impact for the watcher.

Anila Quayyum Agha出生于巴基斯坦拉合尔，在美国国立艺术学院获得学士学位，在北得克萨斯州大学获得纤维艺术硕士学位。她的项目和作品是以传播社会信息为重点的多元文化主义，探索并提出将艺术行动与社会经验相结合的具有挑战性的概念。在以下图像中提出的“交叉口”项目邀请观察者发现交叉口的矛盾性质，探索光和影的对立性质，即公共和私人、静态和动态，其基础是伊斯兰神圣空间所激发的几何设计的对称性。阿尼拉·奎尤姆·阿加用光来探索几何设计的解释形态，展示自然与创造设计的相互作用，以及对观察者的影响。

Anila presents this project: „In the city of Lahore, where I grew up, the mosque was not only a place of worship, but also the repository of the public art form. Thousands of mosques were spread all over the city, filled with bouquets of calligraphic writing and geometric symmetry that embrace pilgrims five times a day. But like the millions of women in Lahore, there was no space for me in any of these mosques, the dictates of culture relegating us all to praying at home. It is this seminal experience of being excluded from a space of community and creativity that resonated with me when I visited Moorish Spain and experienced the historic site of the Alhambra. To my amazement I discovered the complex expressions of both wonder and exclusion that have been my experience while growing up in Pakistan. This installation emulates patterns from the Alhambra, which was poised at the intersection of history, culture and art and was a place where Islamic and Western discourses, met and co-existed in harmony and served as a testament to the symbiosis of difference.”

阿尼拉介绍了这个项目：“在我长大的拉合尔市，清真寺不仅是一个礼拜场所，也是公共艺术形式的宝库。成千上万的清真寺遍布整个城市，到处都是书法和几何对称的花束，每天五次拥抱朝圣者。但就像拉合尔的数百万女性一样，在这些清真寺里，我没有任何空间，文化的要求让我们所有人都在家里祈祷。正是这种被排除在社区和创造力空间之外的开创性体验，在我访问摩尔人西班牙时引起了我的共鸣，并体验了阿罕布拉的历史遗址。令我惊讶的是，我在巴基斯坦长大时，发现了奇迹和排斥的复杂表达方式。这个装置模仿了阿罕布拉的模式，它处于历史、文化和艺术的交汇处，是伊斯兰和西方话语和谐共存的地方，是差异共生的证明。“
