Jameel Prize is the first award of this kind to be made for contemporary work inspired by Islamic traditions of art, craft and design.
Nine artists and designers were short-listed for the 2009 Jameel Prize, and on July 7, 2009 the judges selected New York-based Iranian-born artist Afruz Amighi as the winner.
To mark the award, the V&A presented an exhibition of work by the nine finalists (July 8-Sept. 13, 2009). It is this exhibition that will now tour.
The artworks exhibition is under the patronage of the Ministry of Information and Culture, in cooperation with Abdul Latif Jameel Community Services Programs (ALJCSP).
