"Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort. And, sadder still, there always is a chorus of willing intellectuals to say calming words about benign or altruistic empires, as if one shouldn't trust the evidence of one's eyes watching the destruction and the misery and death brought by the latest mission civilizatrice."

- Orientalism by Edward Said

Oil on canvas. Painted in 1972.

The title refers to a Moroccan dance form. Artcurial holds two sales each year in Morocco of Orientalist and Saharan-African art. I tend to show estimates and results in the currency of the host country. Using a website such as xe.com/currencyconverter/ will give you a quick comparison. In this instance, 1000 Moroccan Dirham is roughly 90 Euros.

So proud of my collaborator & business partner Thom for this very important essay via Reactor on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Madripoor, a fictional city they've now set in Indonesia. Please read, please share & learn some history from a member of the Indonesian diaspora who beautifully weaves in his own family's difficult life experiences into this article about how Southeast Asia is depicted.

Please share, because I didn't know the Indonesian history Thom shares here and I find that tragic. Learn something new today!

The most degrading of human passions is the fear of death. It tears away the restraints and the conventions which alone make social life possible to man; it reveals the brute in him which underlies them all. In the desperate hand-to-hand struggle for life there is no element of nobility. He who is engaged upon it throws aside honour, he throws aside self-respect, he throws aside all that would make victory worth having - he asks for nothing but bare life.

- Gertrude Bell, explorer, archaeologist, diplomat

If Aladdin came out today Disney marketing would be posting everywhere “We’re proud to reveal Disney’s first Arabic princess” and make a big deal out of how Arabic the film was and then it would come out and it would be more orientalist than the one we actually have

More from the City of Brass. Not too special. I do like the boat loaded with passengers about to take water.
