It was just an ordinary day for Met Security Officer Armia Malak Khalil when a chance encounter and a friendly chat led to the inclusion of his art in a major Met exhibition. As Armia tells it, “Magic happened here.”
Hope–I Am a Morning Scarab (2024) is on view in Flight into Egypt: Black Artists and Ancient Egypt, 1876–Now through February 17, 2025. Watch the Exhibition Tour to learn more about the exhibition.
