The Aga Khan Centre in London presents Making Paradise, a major new exhibition that explores the concept of Eden through Islamic garden design. The show (from 29 April to 30 September) brings together nineteen international multimedia artists each of whom will present an interpretation of the concept of Al-Jannah (the Garden of Eden, or Paradise in Islam). Alongside their work, the gallery will display digital reproductions of specific works from Aga Khan Museum’s permanent collection. At the centre of the exhibition will be a film produced by AKDN. This not only highlights the many garden restoration and development projects achieved by the AKDN, but also powerfully conveys the message of His Highness, who has commissioned many gardens himself, including those at the Ismaili Centre London. He believes gardens are rich and rewarding places of gathering, not only capable of inspiring delight, but also of strengthening a sense of global community.
