Muslim Networks: Medium, Methodology & Metaphor

"The Artist and Globalization"
Judy Ernst (U.S. artist, North Carolina)

Who's an insider, who's an outsider? In increasingly multicultural societies, what constitutes any one person's heritage? What is positive engagement, and what is cultural co-optation? Are Mughal portraits of the Madonna and child 1) Christian art (because they represent a Christian subject); 2) Islamic art (because they were commissioned by Muslims and perhaps painted by Muslims); or 3) Hindu art (because they might have been painted by Hindus)?
