Name of exhibition:

Arab Heroes: Between Reality and Mythology

This exhibition will emphasize the importance of knowing the history of the Middle East, and the relationship between east and west with regards to the shaping region through historical figures and personalities. (E.g. Sharif Hussein, King Faisal I (Saudi Arabia), Malik Kadiv Farouq II, Moussa El Sadr, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Lawrence of Arabia, Mark Sykes)

As well as the inclusion of patterns as a background to show how our cultures merge into each other through fabrics thus creating iconic images in our minds that we remember throughout our lives (living within or outside the Middle East). The way these figures have been represented to us via new media is also a cause for debate. This and many other subjects will be discussed in a series of 2 seminars that will take place throughout the course of the exhibition:

Seminar 1: Representation and Misrepresentation of historical figures through contemporary practices (New medias)

Time: Monday 26th April 18h30 – 20h00

Seminar 2: Psychological and Sociological effects of written, visual and oral history

Time: Thursday 29th April 18h30 – 20h00

The seminars will feature guest speakers that will be commenting and raising arguments about the effects of new media and memory with regards to history and how it is documented and remembered through time.
