3.8.7. THE INSTITUTE FOR THE CULTURES OF ISLAM...


PRESENTS MUSLIM REACTIONS TO THE WORLD

Two sites show how Muslim artists living in France view their cultures of origin.

  • At rue Leon




    •  A modern portrait and a Persian past 

Cyrus and the Odor of Lilies by Ryan Yasineh, of Iranian origin

    • Mounds of tangled threads around which one must tread carefully represent memories to which one must not refer.

"Family Photos" by Oassila Arras, of Algerian origin
  • At rue Stephenson


    •  Paintings evoke uprooting by linking Syrian poet's verses to symbols of the sky.

Dialogues by Himat L. Ali, of Iraki origin

 


    • Ethnic roots can be emphatically expressed: photos from the web, artists not named.
