About The Jamil Collection
MILAAP is an independent and non-profit exhibition platform under Khurram Jamil's The Jamil Collection. Adamantly insistent on the notion that global spheres of culture are more similar than distinct, the collection puts together artists with ties to the Global South and North, searching for commonalities and meeting points rather than enforcing separation.
The collection’s growing inventory ranges from medieval Islamic manuscripts to on-site installations by contemporary artists, with the exhibitions found in MILAAP both showcasing selections of the collection’s works or otherwise presenting the artists and themes found in the collection in new constellations.
Found in exhibitions at MILAAP, the Copenhagen and Boston offices of Area9, and on loan to museums around the world, we here present a selection of works from the collection.
