What’s on

Jameel Prize 7

The V&A is home to an extensive collection of Islamic art (which the institution began collecting way back in the 1850s) but this prestigious award, which was established in 2009, celebrates contemporary art and design inspired by Islamic tradition. It’s open to designers from any age group or from any ethnic, religious or cultural background and the finalists’ work (selected by a jury) will be displayed in this winter exhibition. Previous winners include artist Mehdi Moutashar and architect Marina Tabassam, who won Jameel Prize 5, and Jameel Prize 4 was won by Ghulum Mohammad for his works of paper collage. Film, video, installation and new tech are the mediums that are focussed on, but that could be anything from animation to virtual reality – pretty exciting, right?

NAOMI

Few have worked with as many designers, publications and photographers in the fashion industry as model and activist, the legendary Naomi Campbell. And now, the V&A has created a dazzling exhibition to delve into this icon’s 40-year career, which she has collaborated with. Campbell’s haute couture wardrobe, as well as loans from designer archives and the V&A’s own collection, will be on display, and there’s a photography installation curated by Edward Enninful OBE, former editor of British Vogue.
