Islamic Geometry Workshop

Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the timeless beauty of Islamic geometry, presented in collaboration with the Frist Art Museum's Anila Quayyam Agha's exhibition Interwoven and the Islamic Center of Nashville.

The workshop is led by Dr. Rebin Muhammad, a mathematician, educator, and artist originally from the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and Alexandra Veremeychik, an Islamic geometric artist. Participants will construct geometric patterns.

No prior experience in art or mathematics is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. Participants will leave with completed patterns and a deeper appreciation of geometry as a creative and cultural language.

Open to students, educators, artists, and anyone curious about geometry, culture, design, and pattern. All materials provided.

The Reed Society for the Sacred Arts (RSSA) works with a global network of artists and musicians to nurture the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual wisdom woven into sacred art forms. The Reed Society's work serves not only as a platform for cultural preservation but also as a source of healing and reconnection for diverse populations, particularly diaspora communities, immigrants, and refugees seeking to engage with their heritage.

In collaboration with leading artists and institutions, our organization curates a rich array of programs — including hands-on workshops, immersive retreats, musical performances, academic lectures, and exhibitions. The Reed Society’s work spans disciplines such as Arabic and Ottoman calligraphy, Islamic illumination (tazhib/tehzib), sacred geometry, and traditional music forms such as Qawwali and Sufi-inspired vocal traditions.

The Reed Society has partnered with organizations such as the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art, The Walters Art Museum, The Kennedy Center, and major universities including Harvard, George Washington University and Stanford.
