Saks Afridi
Saks Afridi is an artist who refers to his work as “sci-fi sufism.” His pieces include prayer rugs depicting UFOs, visual art that blends images of circuitry with classic Islamic design, and an extensive, multi-disciplinary project based on a mythological world that he calls SpaceMosque. On this episode, Saks talks about blending the spiritual with the speculative, why the idea of prayer factors into so much of his work, and how his day job in advertising informs his art practice.
