  As part of the international prize, launched by the Victoria & Albert Museum and funded by Saudi businessman and philanthropist Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel, Amighi will receive £25,000 ($40,000) and have her winning work, a shadow piece entitled 1001 Pages, displayed with works from eight artists shortlisted for the prize in the new Studio Gallery through September 13.
