“I was also really blown away by the fact that [Night in the Garden of Love] is written in a kind of musical tone. And that allowed me to think about how you took a book and made it an experience.”
Shezad Dawood, the artist behind our current special exhibition #NightInTheGardenOfLove, had known of Yusef Lateef since childhood, but it wasn’t until he was an adult that the full immersion into Lateef’s world began. In Dawood’s words, “it’s […] hard to say where Lateef ends and I begin.”
