Lot Essay
Yellow Cow is a series of interventions, performances and installations inspired by a passage in the Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), the longest chapter in the Qur’an. In a statement by Ahmed Mater during his Yellow Cow Products project exhibited at the the 8th Sharjah Biennial (2007), he noted the series intends to, '…represent the link communicating the social, political, and ecological challenges that face the world as a result of urbanisation, pollution, radical political ambitions, and the continued abuse of our natural resources. (.) The cow with the yellow colour was used as an expression of religious heritage.'
