RELIGIOUS ART | TALK OF WEEK

AOA NEWS
By TAHLIB

THE "VEIL" is the new Talk of Week in the world of Religious Art. Last year, Islam dominated the US art museum world, and its Arab spring dominated world politics, now the art news is about Islamic women's wear. To help us all to better understand the religious and artistic significance, we've begun curating "Fashion & Design" of the religious for 2012. Whether it's a fashion show sponsored by the President of Iran or the newest Christian tattoo adorning Justin Bieber's body, we will explore it in AOA News. Listed below are the art news stories of the past week from the five largest world religions, plus an interfaith mix of related news.
