Current Exhibitions

At the MFA in Boston. One of Monet’s Water Lilies. Those who follow this blog know my fondness for museums. My particular favorites are maritime, aerospace, and military museums. Exploring the great battleships of yesterday (Battleship Cove), the history of flight (New England Air Museum), and military history (American Heritage Museum), those types of museums never disappoint. Of course, with…

“Iraq, you are in our hearts”

The Awafi Kitchen is where Arab and Jewish cuisine are one. They are part of the Iraqi Jewish community and are based in Boston, USA. All of their family were displaced from Iraq between 1950 and 1970. The following statement and photograph were posted on the Facebook page of the Awafi Kitchen, and was titled ‘Our Return to Iraq’.

“Last month, after five decades away, members of our family finally walked the streets in Baghdad, the city they once called home. Out of hundreds of us in diaspora across the world, we were the first in our family to set foot in Baghdad since our waves of displacement between the 50s and 70s.

The trip was every feeling all at once. Pure joy, gratitude, and reconnection, inextricable from the grief and pain of facing our decades of separation, and seeing much of our family’s hometown deeply changed.

Our whole lives we’ve dreamed of witnessing the beautiful Baghdad we have been painted in memories. We found beauty, but also bore witness to the impact of decades of war, the US occupation, and ongoing resource extraction, and how this has limited the place’s ability to thrive.

That being said, the people we met were incredible. We spent two weeks surrounded by an abundance of love and warmth everywhere we went. There's beautiful new realities rebuilding. Iraqis returning, Iraqis who have stayed through it all.

Tender moments of mutual curiosity and excitement: younger Iraqis eager to learn about the old Baghdad of our family’s youth, the lost Jewish history of the city, and in turn our family eager to learn what it’s like to live as an Iraqi in the contemporary world. And ultimately, as friends reminded us, we accomplished our goal: it was just about touching foot to earth, and that we did.

For any Iraqis considering returning like we did, know that you can count on us for advice or perspective. Don’t hesitate to reach out. And for Iraqis with a reluctance to return, for those who still cannot, we empathize with you. Iraq, you are in our hearts.”

Above is Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds’s work Surviving Active Shooter Custer, 48 monoprints, 2018, from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, on view in 2021.

From the museum about the work-

The term “active shooter” is one we hear too often in today’s news. Here, Heap of Birds uses this contemporary phrase to characterize massacres committed by United States troops against Native Americans in the 1800s. Each of this work’s panels contains six lines of text evoking the violence of not only this country’s history but ongoing acts of oppression against Indigenous communities. The prints on the right are “ghost prints” of those on the left, made by using the residual ink remaining on the printing plate after the first print was produced. For the artist, these prints recall the “ghosts of a whole culture.”

In the video below from the museum, the artist discusses the work with two of MoMa’s curators.

Classic Cars and Rods: Timeless Beauties

The charm and allure of classic cars and rods have a unique way of capturing the essence of automotive excellence, blending history with mechanical artistry. These vehicles are more than mere modes of transportation; they represent a golden era of car design, where aesthetics and performance melded together to create something truly spectacular. For many, the sight of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air,…

A new website for The Ashton Times is under construction. I remember when I had websites built in the 90s. As the “web” was still new from a consumer and commercial point of view, finding the talent to build these new platforms was a task all by itself. Fortunately, as I was publishing magazines at the time, I had on my staff talented graphic designers who were also coders and familiar with this…

Vermelle and Andrew Rodrigues outside the Quilts for Obama exhibit at the D.C. Historical Society in 2009. Her Michelle Obama Story Quilt was among the pieces on display to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

The photo link is to the Gullah Museum of Georgetown. I enjoy the posts at the site formerly known as Twitter. Recent.ly they unveiled the Harriet Tubman story quilt. Bunny Rodriques passed away in 2015 and Andrew Rodrigues passed this summer.

One of the reasons I love the Gullah Museum so much is because of the stories they share.

100 Years of Horsepower, fun!

At the last minute, on the last day, we made it. Keith and I headed to the 100 Days of Horsepower that is! Tom Renner, his son Jake and grandson Jonathon have an amazing collection of tractors in Belleville, Illinois. They were on display outside as well as their agricultural museum! The museum was open at the show during the show. The 100 Days Horsepower was much like a mini-Half Century of…

A glimpse of Philippine History in Negros Museum, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. Spanish and American Colonial Period.

(Note: Negros is what the Spaniards called the people living in one of the more than 7000 islands of the Philippines because of their dark skin tone during the 333 years of Spanish colonialism. Now the island is divided into two provinces, Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental.)
