MUMBAI: Though the concept is based on a Quranic verse and rooted in ancient tradition and philosophy, the art is meant to transcend religious boundaries and resonate with the universal human experience.

The exhibition, which began on Tuesday and closes on January 17, is titled 'Noorun ala Noor' or 'Light upon Light' and showcases the work of 13 Dawoodi Bohra artists from around the world. The works on display feature diverse mediums such as calligraphy, geometry, traditional illumination paintings, textile art and multimedia installations. The exhibition has been curated by Radiant Arts, a non-profit fine arts platform conceptualised and run by Dawoodi Bohra women to promote the art of talented community artists from all over the world.
