  • The Time Is out of Joint | Ibraaz
    INTERVIEWS The Time is Out of Joint Tarek Abou El Fetouh in conversation with Stephanie Bailey Stephanie Bailey 010_00 / 6 May 2016 The Time Is Out Of Joint offers three years and three events as a curatorial frame: the first Biennale of Arab Arts in Baghdad in 1974, the China/Avant-Garde exhibition, held in Beijing in 1989, and the Equator Conference, which will be staged in Yogyakarta in 2022. As the exhibition statement explains, this framework builds on 'Ibn Arabi's concept of time as a fluid place and place as a frozen time, the project examines our current and future locations and conditions. It confuses different times, places, cities and artistic events that took place in the past or will take time in the future.' The project consists of an exhibition staged at the Sharjah Art Foundation, which included a staging of the 2022 Yogyakarta conference in March 2016, a two-volume publication that is divided into the four chapters, and components of the project presented in Gwangju South Korea at the Asia Cultural Center in April 2016. In this remarkable and expansive layering of context, curator Tarek Abou El Fetouh presents a history of corresponding temporalities that recalls both our inability to deal with the complexities of our time, and the necessity to draw connections between us, beyond our defined 'regions'. Stephanie Bailey: The Time is Out of Joint reflects on history as a string theory of tangled knots, webs, projections and compressions. The intention behind this perspective – and tactic – seems to be a neutralization of the binary divisions between the so-called postcolonial and imperial nations of the world in order to understand who we are without reducing ourselves to fit the normative terms that have historically defined us.

  • Assessing the Effectiveness of Street Girls Ngos in Egypt: with Whom? in What Specific Context?
    Assessing the Effectiveness of Street Girls NGOs in Egypt: With whom? In what specific context? Thèse Amira Mohamed Kotb Doctorat en études internationales Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.) Québec, Canada © Amira Mohamed Kotb, 2015 Résumé (Fr) Depuis les années 80’s, plusieurs ONG locales et internationales opèrent en Egypte afin d’éradiquer le phénomène des enfants de la rue. Cependant, le phénomène persiste et donne lieu à une seconde génération d’enfants de rue, notamment avec la présence de jeunes filles dans la rue. Par ailleurs, un large pourcentage de ces mères refuse d’abandonner la rue ou de rejoindre les programmes de réhabilitation des ONG. Non seulement une génération de petits-enfants de rue voit le jour mais en 2011, ces enfants commencent à prendre part dans des affrontements violents contre l’armée et les forces de sécurité égyptiennes. La dégénération du problème pousse l’Etat Egyptien –jusque-là quasi réticent d’aborder en profondeur les causes du problème- à engager un bras de fer avec les filles et les garçons de la rue. Selon l’Etat, l’approche « de sauvetage » appliquée par les ONG se serait avérée ineffective et par conséquent, devrait céder la place à une approche « punitive » à l’égard des enfants de la rue. Ainsi, l’Etat décide de construire un « village » isolé sous l’égide de l’armée égyptienne où les enfants de la rue seront groupés et placés contre leur gré. Entre les limites de l’approche de sauvetage et la violence de l’approche punitive, cette thèse cherche à trouver une troisième voie où les efforts des ONG et de l’Etat pourraient aboutir à des solutions plus adaptées aux besoins des enfants de la rue.

I’m one of 100-odd people sitting in an outdoor square, anked by the cubic buildings of the city’s old town. Before us glows a cartoonish diorama of a Mediterranean city: red-roofed houses, a pink river, city walls and crumbling towers. On stage, around 20 men begin to tap the lulling baritone of jahlahs and clay-pot drums, singing djeri, the songs sung by pearl divers in the Gulf. For Wael Shawky’s Song of Roland: The Arabic Version (2017), the foundational epic of Old French is transposed to classical Arabic and traditional song. While the original chanson de geste (song of heroic deeds) from c.1100 glories the defeat of Carolingian armies during a Basque-Qasawi Muslim ambush in the Pyrenees in 778 CE, Shawky’s reversal of its Eurocentrism is biting and topical in an age of renewed fault lines between East and West, religion and secularism: ‘for wrong is with the Muslims, but with the Christians right’.
