SUMMARY:Creative Film Nights: Sprout | Why is my Grandfather's Bed in our Living Room?

The programme: \n\nWhy is my Grandfather’s Bed in our Living Room? dir Sarah Alhashimi (2021: 7 mins)\n\nAn Emirati family recalls the loss of their ancestral house to urban modernisation; it becomes apparent that an old wooden bed\, the only tangible memory that remains\, is a poignant feature of their story.

SUMMARY:Art History Evenings: Orientalism in Praxis – The History of Archaeology in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:BFAF’s art history lecture programme continues with Zayed National Museum director Peter Magee\, exploring how the excavation and interpretation of archaeological sites in the ancient Near East was contoured by Orientalist thought and practice. In particular he focuses on the perception of ancient human habitation of desert areas as immutable across time and therefore unworthy of scientific analysis; by contrast\, recent research in the Arabian Peninsula has highlighted a dynamic relationship between humans and the environment which resulted in fundamental shifts in human society and organisation.
