Review – « Le cheveu de MuÊ¿awiya », une exposition aux tons de l’histoire, de l’amour, et de la politique – Haythem Jemaiel
Based on a historical and poetic reading of the tumultuous early period of Arab-Islamic civilization, this exhibition is an artistic exploration that questions the images, forms and socio-political issues that characterize it, while placing them in the perspective of their resonance with today’s context. The curator Nadine Atallah adopted the Arabic notion of fitna relating to the ideas of disorder, discord and sedition. With its strong political and religious connotations this notion acts as a common thread enabling her to weave the formal and conceptual links that structure this large-scale exhibition.
