hi tumblr, i have a favor...

...i need to do a presentation of middle eastern art and culture this march 15, PHT (might be the 14th in some places) and while i can probably do sufficient research on my own, i feel like i'd love to have some input from middle eastern users as well (especially considering current events i may or may not already know/have heard of)

if you have resources like art, news articles, blog posts, and/or documents you can provide, please reblog this post with a link/links to your source!

from, a multimedia student in the philippines

the mother earth, painting by Layla Al Attar on an oil canvas in 1980

"the art of Layla Al Attar was suggestive of alienation and deep sadness, which made her take nature as a subject for salvation." – Adel Kamel

During the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, the Arab world was still enveloped with conservative and traditional attitudes, which were undeniably ruled by the prejudgement for the women who were trying to abandon the dominating morals of their time. This was mainly done within literature and plastic art, to 'challenge the deep-seated traditions seeking to present their intellectual views and vision.' This movement led to a group of Iraqi artists breaking free from the conservative mould imposed by their societies and came to produce intricate artworks as a representation of the 'turmoil of their time.' With this, it has allowed their work to transcend time, gifting hope and courage for the lives of men and women to this day, granting generations the knowledge and wisdom to help re-establish the position and power of women in their still heavily conservative communities. As well as this, their works are a striking source of nostalgia for all civillians, feeling their defiance through their artwork which shall be long remembered.
