Architecture exhibit, Asma Belhamar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Asma Belhamar: Solid Void Exhibition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ongoing \u2014 Dec 31, Abu Dhabi more info<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

In this solo exhibition, artist Asma Belhamar<\/a> presents a major body of work inspired by the UAE\u2019s architectural history. The exhibition is footnoted by the artist\u2019s reflections on culture and national identity in flux.<\/p>\n

The exhibition narrates the topographic evolution of the UAE, as influenced by Western classical modernity, contemporary traditionalism in Islam, and the historic trade relationships that shaped much of that landscape. The artist’s deft interpretation reveals the diversity and fragmentation of the design sensibilities that have made the nation\u2019s aesthetic identity what it is today.<\/p>\n

Published by Comma Press<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kurdistan + 100<\/em><\/a> poses a question to contemporary Kurdish writers: Might the Kurds one day have a country to call their own? With 13 stories all set in the year 2046 \u2013 exactly a century after the first glimmer of Kurdish independence, the short-lived Republic of Mahabad \u2013 this book offers a space for new expressions and new possibilities in the ongoing struggle for self-determination.<\/p>\n

Throughout the 20th century, and so far in the 21st, the Kurds have been repeatedly betrayed, suppressed, and stripped of their basic rights (from citizenship to the freedom to speak their own language), seeing their political aspirations crushed at every turn.
\nIn this groundbreaking anthology, Kurdish authors (including several present and former political prisoners) imagine a freer future, one in which it is no longer effectively illegal to be a Kurd. From future eco-activism, to drone warfare, to the reanimation of victims of past massacres, these stories explore the present struggles through the prism of futurism to dazzling effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"The House of the Coptic Woman<\/i><\/b> by Ashraf El-Ashmawy, translated from the Arabic by Peter Daniel (Oct. 2023, <\/b>AUC Press<\/b><\/a>).<\/b><\/p>\n

Tightly plotted and taboo-breaking, this explosive story takes readers to the roots of religious strife where the smallest of sparks can start a bonfire. With its echoes of Tawfiq al-Hakim\u2019s <\/span>Diary of a Country Prosecutor <\/span><\/i>(Saqi Books<\/a>, 2023)<\/span>, <\/span>this is a powerful and personal tale of conflict, crime, and upheaval in rural Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nader, an idealistic public prosecutor at the outset of his career, leaves Cairo to start a new posting in rural upper Egypt. On his first night, a mysterious woman named Hoda shows up at his lodgings. She is on the run from an abusive husband and, harboring a dark secret, seeks a new start in this small village and hopes to escape her harrowing past.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cairo Securitized: Reconceiving Urban Justice and Social Resilience <\/i><\/b>edited by Paul Amar, (Nov 2023, <\/b>AUC Press<\/b><\/a>)<\/b><\/p>\n

By tackling a range of issues, including public health, transportation, labor safety, and housing and property distribution, <\/span>Cairo Securitized<\/span><\/i> unsettles simplistic binaries of thug and police, public versus private, and slum versus enclave, and proposes compelling new ways in which securitizing processes can be reversed, reengineered, and replaced with a participatory and equitable urban order.<\/span><\/p>\n
