  • USCCB Middle East Fact Finding Mission October 7-20, 2012
    USCCB Middle East Fact Finding Mission October 7-20, 2012 “…am I my brother’s keeper?” Gn 4:9 Every year the Committee on Migration and Refugees of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) undertakes a fact-finding mission to some region of the world in which there is particular concern for the welfare of those who are forced by circumstances to migrate within their home country or seek refuge in a foreign land. The USCCB is the largest resettlement agency in the world (not just the largest resettlement agency in the United States), resettling as many as 20,000 refugees per year across the United States…and the United States is by far the largest resettlement country in the world, welcoming 70% of the total world resettlement population. This is something of which American citizens and especially American Catholics can rightly be proud. The United States is also the most flexible country in receiving refugees for resettlement—we rightly have no limitations based on ethnicity or religion. Moreover, the Catholic network in Muslim countries—especially Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Caritas, and the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC)--works hand in hand with the local Catholic Church, which is itself deeply engaged in providing charitable help to the entire local population regardless of religion. We were told: “The US government and individual Americans often do things that incite Muslim anger, but the Catholic Church does things that win the esteem of Muslims!” This year a delegation of from the Committee on Migration and Refugees led by committee member Bishop Anthony B.

  • The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction
    The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction By Ali I. al-Dulaimi Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 22, 2019 Theme: History In-depth Report: IRAQ REPORT A glimpse of the plastic arts in Iraq The contemporary Iraqi plastic art is considered to be the legitimate heir of the ancient Iraqi civilizations of Sumer and Babylon. Relics have beem found indicating that the Iraqi craftsman is the first artist in the world. He is the one who creates and produces such beautiful household pottery pieces for functional purposes for eating, drinking and other daily uses. The Baghdad School of Art of Illustration was founded by Iraqi artist Yahya bin Mahmoud bin Yahya bin Abi al-Hassan al-Wasiti who laid down its pillars. Al-Wasiti lived in the seventh Hijri century and is considered to be at the forefront of Arab and Islamic creativity scene where the Islamic art of illustration could be straightened and become competitive. Then this School spread from Mesopotamia to all other Islamic countries. Al-Wasiti inspired others with his miniature manuscripts on which he painted topics and narrative facts from the collections of al-Hariri which were written by Abu Muhammad al-Qasim bin Ali bin Othman al-Basri, famous as “al-Hariri”. These collections are considered to be among the Arabic literary masterpieces due to their richness of material, accuracy of observation and unique imagination. Artist al-Wasiti completed illustrating and scripting these collections in 634 A.H./1237 A.D., and they are now treasured at several international museums and libraries.

    ASIA 2016; 70(4): 1005–1018 Silvia Naef* Visual Modernity in the Arab World, Turkey and Iran: Reintroducing the “Missing Modern”– Introduction DOI 10.1515/asia-2016-0043 Notwithstanding the fact that opinions between art historians diverge on how it should be done, there is a consensus that nowadays the writing of art history cannot but be global, whether we label it “world art history” or “global art history”. Whereas the two terms are often used synonymously, Hans Belting suggests we distinguish between “world art history”, which would be the history of all art productions in the world since the earliest times, and “global art history,” the history of art production as it has spread around the globe after the opening of the formerly uniquely Western art scene to the planet as whole.1 Even though “global art” is defined as contemporary art produced all around theglobesince1989– the year of the ground-breaking Paris exhibition Magiciens de la terre2 – even though it designates, that is, an art with many different facets but sharing a unified language in its diversity, we still notice, today, a difference in the way production from the “non-West” is considered. One cannot but get the impression that it is presented as if it had come out of nothing, born of a total void or of what had formerly been categorized as ethnographic artefacts. What is striking about this view is that it utterly neglects the existence of the modern phase that preceded the emergence of “global art” and that, from the nineteenth to the end of the twentieth century, saw Western art forms being adopted all over the world and replacing, to a large extent, local art conceptions and styles, thus giving way to a new, original category, generally and locally labelled as “modern art”.In the specific case of art from the Islamic world, contemporary visual creations are often pigeon-holed as “contemporary Islamic art” as if they derived, ontologically, 1 Belting 2013.

  • Artistic Production During the Lebanese Civil War
    collection مجمـــــــــــــــــــــــــوعة ســــــــــــــــــــــــــــرادار Seriality: Artistic Production during the Lebanese Civil War | by Sarah Rogers Introduction This essay explores seriality, the practice of painting or drawing in a series, as a mode of artistic production during the early years of the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990). In art history seriality is most often associated with postwar American art: a moment distin- guished by a radical shift in the concept of art as a unique expression issuing forth from an individual creator (represented most prominently in the career of Jackson Pollock) towards an artistic practice that embraced the repetitive, mechanical forms of industrial capitalism (made famous by artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein). Yet, as this essay considers, the work of prominent Lebanese artists working in a series format during the mid-to late 1970s challenges conventional Euro-American art historical nar- ratives. In the context of a violent civil war, the repetitive nature of a series that takes as its subject the surrounding hostilities suggests an aesthetic of witnessing: working through repetition to create a visual testimony that both documents events and con- veys a sense of their unreality. The Saradar Collection offers a point of entry into the possibility that seriality is a mode of production particularly relevant during the early years of the Lebanese Civil War. The collection is an assemblage of works dedicated to modern and contemporary art production in Lebanon. This essay focuses on a select number of works by three prominent Lebanese artists: Seta Manoukian, Jamil Molaeb, and Aref Rayess. I. In the foreground, a young man lounges on a twin bed, propped up by pillows, gazing vacantly at something outside the picture frame, a television set perhaps (Fig.
