Zarah Hussain's work is currently being displayed in the William Morris gallery in the Wathamstow. She is a British born Pakistani artist who creates intricate geographic designs. William Morris was highly influenced by Islamic art and used many of its principles in designing wallpapers and fabrics. Much of his work is still popular today. Hussain says she hopes her works shows the traditional art of the past fusing with what is happening now. Join discussion...

On April 25, 2009 a new art gallery opened at the Mid- City Arts. It was dedicated entirely to street arts, a.k.a. graffiti. The artist was 36 year old Daniel Ramos, alias Chaka. For the opening, 700 fans showed up. The show runs until May 24. However, the reason I chose this article was due to the amount of controversy that surrounds it. The article is posted so that comments are allowed. The few comments posted people show the outrage of some people that such a show would be allowed. Join discussion...
