Mohammed Ali's unique fusion of graffiti art with Islamic

been reported as a "bridge of understanding" between faith
communities across the world, and has been featured in
international media ranging from CNN and the BBC to Al Jazeera.
He has showcased his work across the UK, Dubai and Denmark and
is looking forward to his first visit to the USA.
The tour is supported by Arts Council England, the national
development agency for the arts in England. The Philips
Academy, Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), along with
other cosponsors are hosting the Arts & Islam USA Tour
featuring the acclaimed "urban Islamic" artist, Mohammed Ali of
AerosolArabic. The Arts and Islam team will be visiting
universities, arts organisations and community bodies across
Chicago, New York and Boston.
In addition to the seminars, Mohammed Ali will be producing a
series of commissioned spiritual murals, including a special
mural in New York City commemorating the tragic death of 9
Bronx children who died in a blaze recently. Working with young
people from all faith backgrounds, Mohammed will create wall
murals reflecting the universal themes of spirituality and
unity that connect people of all backgrounds and cultures.
Mohammed has already produced a series of stunning murals
across the UK which can be seen at the official Arts and Islam
website artsandislam.com
"The goal of this tour is to elucidate Islamic themes and
messages through a medium which can universally be understood
and appreciated by all. Mohammad Ali's work transcends
artificial barriers such as ethnicity, nationality, class, and
perceived religious differences which prevent us from
understanding one another" said Azeem Khan, ICNA's Assistant
Secretary General.

include Melis Abacioglu, Sumaiya Ahmed, May Alhassen, Sabilah
Eboo, Faaez Jafarey, Sumaiya Khalique, Shakeer Rahman, Maryum
