The Textile Museum of Canada aims to connect cloth, culture and art, and Magic Squares: The Patterned Imagination of Muslim Africa in Contemporary Culture does just that. An examination of the relationship between patterns, communication, and the spirit, the four contemporary artists behind the exhibit have used the Museum’s permanent collection of Islamic African artifacts to look deeper into embroidered, woven and painted “magic squares.”

Magic Squares ends on November 20th. Admission to the exhibit is included in admission to the Textile Museum of Canada, which is $15. The Museum is open today from 11am until 5pm. Visit www.textilemuseum.ca for more information on the Magic Squares exhibit.
