Itqan Exhibitions is proud to present the catalogue for Islam Through My Eyes, a two day exhibition of contemporary Islamic art held at Nuhr Studio, The Grand, Manningham Lane, Bradford, on 11 and 12 July 2026. Curated by Tayyibah Baz and Nuhr Studio, the catalogue brings together sixteen Muslim artists and twenty two works, spanning calligraphy, painting, ceramics, textile, and mixed media.
Organised into three sections, Calligraphy and Discipline, Living Faith, Lived Identity, and Witness Through Legacy, the catalogue traces how each artist holds faith and creative practice together.

About the Curators
Tayyibah Baz is a UK based watercolour artist and speaker working under the brand Tayyibah Baz The Artisan. Her work is rooted in Islamic knowledge and her identity as a Muslim, and her practice centres on Quranic and Hadith referenced imagery. She reframes art as a purposeful discipline rather than a hobby, addressing the fear of pursuing it with value, grounded in the belief that artistic talent is given by Allah with purpose. Islam Through My Eyes is her first curatorial project, opening conversations around Islam and art for Muslim artists.
Nuhr Studio is a creative hub and content studio on Manningham Lane, Bradford, hosting events and community gatherings centred on sisterhood and connection.
The Islam Through My Eyes catalogue is available now to read online and to order as a printed copy. It is an invitation to collectors, curators, worshippers, and fellow artists to engage with the work of sixteen Muslim artists whose practices are shaping how faith and identity are expressed through contemporary art.
