A new Islamic art and photography exhibit has gone on show at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. It features modern art and photography by British Muslim artists. The event showcases Islamic Art, which is an emerging art form. In Birmingham and London, new opportunities are being created all the time by the emerging artists belonging to the Muslim community. An official at FCO, Nazish Jalini, who helped to arrange the event said the idea hit her because she's trying to start a Muslim social group and thought that being Ramadan, it would be perfect to show Muslim talent through art.
