“Avato” Photographic exhibition at the Mohammed Ali’s Museum
The exhibition by the artists Latent Community (Sotiris Tsiganos and Ionian Bisai), centers on Black inhabitants of Avato village’s reflections on their identity and their history, which is often traced to the slave trade of the Ottoman Empire. Avato explores the often-overlooked history of Black presence in Greece and uses the history of a single village to consider how to discuss identity when established terms carry complicated pasts and new terms are equally fraught. It also grapples with the question of how art can engage with subjects’ ambivalence about being the focus of outsiders’ artistic interests.
Musical Tradition and Poetry in the Arab World
Arabs perceived music as a means of praise and connection with God, but also as a way to make life more comfortable and enjoyable. For several centuries, Arab rulers from Baghdad to Cordoba were famed for their patronage of musicians. Their courts boasted full orchestras for entertainment, while noted musicians competed for the ruler’s favour.
