The arts help create a safe space for exploration of potentially difficult issues. The Middle East is the birthplace of our civilization. It is where Judaism, Christianity and Islam-three faiths with much in common-originate. The Middle East is also the primary resource for our energy needs and where we have many strategic partners, from Turkey and Israel to Saudi Arabia.

"Consumption of War" – Adel Abidin at the 2011 Venice Biennale

posted June 10, 2011 - 12:26pm by Editor
Subtitle: 
five Iraqi artists represent their homeland for first time in 35 years
By Lina Sergie Attar


In Consumption of War, the latest installation by Iraqi-Finnish artist Adel Abidin, one stands in a room, between projection and reality, watching an absurd "war" break out between two corporate figures. The film leaves us in physical and metaphoric darkness, questioning not only the artist's intention but also our implication within the narrative. Throughout his work over the last decade, exploring issues of identity, memory, exile, violence, war and politics, Abidin has harnessed the power of ambiguity.

World-renowned Ladino singer performs at Luckman Fine Arts Complex

Yasmin Levy at The LuckmanYasmin Levy at The Luckman

Yasmin Levy sings in Arabic, Ladino, Hebrew and English. Opening the evening is a special guest performance by Iranian vocalist Mamak Khadem.

Piercingly passionate, Yasmin Levy's voice is a true gem: the kind of voice that comes along only once a century. Haunting, strident and swooping, it revives the ancient art of Ladino singing, the Judeo-Spanish style whose songs reach back to 15th-century Spain. She will perform at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex one night only.
