The exhibition of Jameel Prize is all about exploring the style and movement of Islamic tradition, ranging from the usage of colours, pattern and design. The V&A contributes to one of the largest collections of Islamic art from the middle East and this collection has dated back from the 1850's. It began the exhibitions of Islamic work in 2009 and since then there has been three, including this one.
The fundamental idea of the Jameel Prize is gathering an understanding of various cultures and to take inspiration from them and their working practices. The V&A exhibition also helps in promoting diversity and allowing the chance for the public to explore parts of culture you may rarely see in Britain without such exhibitions. The Jameel Prize all creates a very modern and refined appeal for art that is typically associated with a more ancient themed style, it's an example of how the contemporary Islamic art still continues to be used to this day.
