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.

SUMMARY:Art Expression Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop\, led by the Guatemalan artist and art therapist Emilie Dubois\, promises “a transformative journey towards self-discovery and emotional expression” based on colour mapping – participants assign vibrant colours to elements that bring them joy\, “visually mapping their sources of happiness in a symbolic and creative manner … As concentric layers of colour form around a central symbol\, the artwork illustrates the depth and interconnectedness of these positive influences\, fostering self-awareness and providing a lasting reminder of one’s strengths and joys”. This does actually work …
