2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. Ambreen Butt’s lithograph diptych “Say My Name” uses the stylization of Indian and Persian miniature painting to bring attention to American violence. The left panel references victims of US drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan, while the right panel names victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Her work invites you to reflect on the individuals who have been harmed by armed violence.
