SUMMARY:Sounds of Other Shores: The Musical Poetics of Identity on Kenya's Swahili Coast
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Eisenberg\, Associate Professor of Music at NYUAD and Head of the Music Program there\, combines oral history\, ethnography\, and musical analysis to explore how musicians in twentieth-century Mombasa used Arab and Indian musical influences to navigate questions of identity\, belonging\, and community on Kenya’s Swahili coast – how musical style became a space for expressing and negotiating what it meant to be Swahili in colonial and postcolonial Kenya. An NYUAD Institute talk.

SUMMARY:Story of Art II: The Great Obsessions – Standing Together\, Paul Guiragossian
DESCRIPTION:Bassam Freiha Art Foundation’s monthly lecture series\, led by Dr Michaela Watrelot\, BFAF Curator and Director of Exhibitions\, returns with a second series – this one on individual artists rather than art movements. Nine monthly lectures\, running to next June\, will each look closely at a single artist whose work was shaped by a figure\, a place\, a face or an artistic problem to which they kept returning. \nThis opener considers Paul Guiragossian\, subject of a current exhibition at BFAF. Guiragossian made the human figure the core of his visual language; the lecture traces the figure from intimate portraits of his mother and family to increasingly distilled compositions in which individual bodies merge into a collective human presence. Even as the figure dissolves into upright passages of colour and gesture\, humanity never disappears. \nImage: Paul Guiragossian\, L’Echarpe (1990)
