Maral Bedoyan, Head of Education at Mathaf, said: “The Mathaf Student Art Competition and Exhibition is going from strength to strength. Mathaf Education continues its mission to foster and enrich young artis- tic talent through the various educational programs in the museum. We’re delighted to see such appetite for artistic expression amongst younger audiences and this bodes extremely well for the creative future of the country. The quality of artwork submitted this year exceeded our expectations. The breadth and range of ideas and creativity expressed in the submissions was truly inspiring.” This year’s exhibition has been created and organ- ised in partnership with students from the Museum and Gallery Practice Master’s Program at UCL Qatar. As part of the exhibition opening, a roundtable discus- sion with students also took place on April 8 at Mathaf as part of its ongoing educational programme called ‘Creative Conversations for Artists’. The discussion, which was attended by student artists from schools across Qatar and MA students from the UCL Qatar Museum and Gallery Practice, focused on topics including the creative processes behind their artworks and looked at the importance of art education in schools in Qatar. To help students and teachers during the creative process of producing memorable works of art, the Mathaf Education department created a dedicated webpage for the competition. This included specific guidelines on how to partici- pate in the competition, along with images and activi- ties and a range of helpful resources for teachers and students. This also included information on Mathaf’s Permanent Collection and its current exhibitions including Wael Shawky: Crusades and Other Stories, a major solo exhibition by internationally acclaimed Egyptian artist Wael Shawky, which is running until August 16, 2015.

  • Versary of the Dayton Peace Agreement, This Article Assesses Western Contribu- Tions to the Peace Process in Bosnia
    1 onthe second anni- versary of the Dayton peace agreement, this article assesses western contribu- tions to the peace process in Bosnia. The main argument advanced here is that the western powers’-particularly the United States, Britain, and France- were negligent in not preventing and then not quickly ending the wars in former Yugoslavia because they refused to use force to support important principles of international law.2 In their efforts to negotiate an end to the war, and in the subsequent implementation of the settlement brokered by the United States in Dayton, Ohio, in November 1995, the western powers have tended to appease the aggressors at the expense of the war‘s victims. Unless this tendency is reversed and the international guarantors of the Dayton accords seek a just peace, the current fragile peace could be shattered-and with it the prospects for a stable pan-European security system based on a more open NATO with a new mission to stabilize Europe beyond its traditional borders. The western governments’ condoning of the bombing of the Croatian cities of Dubrovnik and Vukovar in the second half of 1991 gave President Slobodan Milogevie a green light to pursue his ambition of creating an ethnically pure Greater Serbia; and by denying Bosnian President Alija IzetbegoviFs many requests for preventive troop deployments in late 1991, the west missed an opportunity to prevent the war from spreading to Bosnia. Then in 1992, by defining a deliberate policy of genocide as ”ethnic cleansing,” and a war of Jane M.O.
