Inaugurated on 7 April, 2016, IGUMDAN extends its exhibition period till 13 May, 2016, at the Euro-Arab Foundation. The Amazigh plastic artist, Khalid Assallami, presents through his work his new creations, heritage of secular traditions that arise from research in the tradition of Amazigh signs and symbols.
The works which Assallami presents during this April Exhibition at the Euro-Arab Foundation represent certain questions regarding the human body and its unknown face. Those questions, regarding the most intimate aspects of males and females, address the audience who view his work.
The Exhibition is open to the public at the Euro-Arab Foundation from 7 to 29 April, 2016, from Monday to Thursday mornings (from 09h00 to 14h00) and evenings (from 17h00 to 20h00), and Fridays morning hours only (from 09h00 to 14h00).
The Author and his Work
KHALID ASSALLAMI
Plastic artist, born in Agadir (Morocco). Assallami enjoys certain passion for art which he first knew and later developed within his family, Mourabih, who are well-known in the world of painting and theatre and totally devoted to cinema.
As Hassan Bikich would say, the works this Amazigh artist is presenting in Granada are made of his most preferred material: wood, iron and soil. Through these natural and live materials, Assallami retains this traditional art whose secret is owned by the Amazigh woman and which tends to be lost nowadays due to rural exodus, on the one hand, and, on the other, the development of a modern economy that does not favor preserving this authentic art.
This work also evokes the Amazigh identity which calls for a burst of pride and reconciliation.
Wood, iron and soil are instruments for work and, also, for communication, especially in a world where human beings tend towards safeguarding the environment and aiding the survival of the heritage of indigenous people. Upon those pillars, Assallami trims, sculpts, carves, paints, assembles, varnishes, fragments and restores.
Exhibition
IGUMDAN – Renaissance of a Shared Myth.
Igumdan or Two Shores is the scenario of multiple births. The history of this Mediterranean basin has highly contributed to the progress of humanity, as well as to the creation, domination and emancipation of thought.
On both sides of the river or the basin, Berbers have cultivated different fields with so much care and serenity. Igumdan represents the symbol of fertility and diversity.
Andalusia is an ideal example of this harmonious transfer, signed by creative hands proceeding from the Maghreb.
The Amazigh thought has always been linked to land, to the history of the ancestors. Hence, this culture, this language, those myths, all those aesthetic symbols and values are hidden in the skills, behavior and way of living and communicating.
However, the disappearance of the great mythologies, which we would not know about for lack of written documents, is indisputable. This is exactly what’s happening with the Berber mythology which has always been transferred orally and which has been suffering from loss, especially after the arrival of Islam.
The idea of this exhibition, proceeding from the South, is to give a chance, an opportunity of life to that mythology and those Berber beliefs which have influenced, as well as been influenced, by other beliefs of near neighboring towns.
Raimundo Iáñez has developed a deeply coherent itinerary during his artistic career, mainly experimental, through drawing paths and his special technique of mixing ink with oil. His thematic core has always been the human being.
Among the collection he presents at the Euro-Arab Foundation, from 3 to 24 March, titled Ópera Manía, Raimundo has always been inspired by the opera with his personal mania for duets like, for example, the Tosca by Giacomo Puccini or Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin.
His work is meticulous and delicate, a mix of authentic art and sweet crafts, like a silversmith who handles perfectly his chisel. The essence of his art lies within the literary and musical iconicity, among a brilliant purity of lines and a range of neutral colors, like the grisaille, which creates a sense of sculptural relief.
This is seen in all of his current works, inspired in operas like the Flying Dutchman, an opera buffa par excellence by Gioachino Rossini; The Valkyrie by Richard Wagner, inspired by the Norse mythology, etc. twelve beautiful pictures with simply crafted frames, work of the artist Nino Vivo.
Raimundo’s painting includes figurative elements which reflect a dreamlike, surreal world, like big part of the operas which inspire him. It is all full of musicality and poetry, with a continuous rising pace, among human silhouettes with their defined, evocative features due to their impersonality. In short, it is the aesthetics of his plastic art.
You can visit the exhibition at the Euro-Arab Foundation from 3 to 24 MARCH, 2016.
Schedule: Mondays to Thursdays, from 09h00 to 14h00, Fridays only mornings (From 09h00 to 14h00).
In an increasingly globalised and interconnected world, the urgent need to learn how to coexist in an intercultural society is more and more hastened. Hence, knowing the ‘other’ becomes an indispensable issue as a previous step towards understanding him, tolerating him and engaging him in our societies, together with interacting with him towards a more just and egalitarian world.
THE AUTHOR
Juan Alberto Casado graduated in Communication Sciences and holds a Master’s Degree of Culture of Peace, Conflicts, Education and Human Rights from the University of Malaga. Casado is a photographer, a writer with a critical spirit, a fan of movement and change, as well as a traveler with a constant desire of abandoning the darkness of ignorance.
Juan Alberto Casado started ‘The Road Provides’ project approximately three years ago. This project is aimed mainly at the issue of social awareness which has evolved until converting into an antidote to intolerance, injustice, xenophobia, racism and the constant fear of the unknown. In this globalized world in which we live, promoting this kind of projects becomes an essential task for strengthening the Culture of Peace, as well as our common future.
The author has spent much time during the last 4 years crossing unknown parts of the planet, scarcely recommended according to some. Among the 54 countries which he visited (including Palestine, Kurdistan, Tibet and French Guiana), he was particularly interested in those who had a majority presence of Muslim believers.
THE EXHIBITION
The current exhibition offers images relating stories that call on us to reflect on our prejudices and preconceived ideas, showing that human beings share, above all, a set of universal values, like, for example, the pursuit of happiness, love, friendship and peace.
In an increasingly globalised and interconnected world, the urgent need to learn how to coexist in an intercultural society is more and more hastened. Hence, knowing the ‘other’ becomes an indispensable issue as a previous step towards understanding him, tolerating him and engaging him in our societies, together with interacting with him towards a more just and egalitarian world.
This mission faces the eternal obstacle of fear. Those fears sheltered by ignorance, nurtured by myths and rumors, and whipped up by mass media. With current phenomena like immigration, refugee exodus and international terrorism, it is necessary to analyze the exaggerated bad press which nurtures our Eurocentric imaginary against some Muslim countries and societies in order to contrast this information with real facts.
Hence, the exhibition is born out of this vital necessity. With these photographs, the author brings closer small corners which represent Muslim cultures and societies, daily moments, games and professions, little kids and elderly people, with the idea of bringing closer a more realistic image that promotes rapprochement between cultures.
Exhibition period:
From 11 until 26 February, 2016.
Schedule: From Monday to Thursday from 09h00 to 14h00 and from 17h00 to 20h00. Friday only mornings.
After an international tour, the painter and poster designer, Angela Magnatta, discloses its collection of posters to the public in Granada. Her work focuses on designing posters as works deprived totally from any kind of message that relates them to propaganda and publicity.
The sample “Francophones at the Megaphones: Women Portraits” presents 15 posters whose aim is introducing female heroines, pioneers, fighters, human rights defenders, as well as ‘invisible’, unknown and forgotten women.
This work is a tribute to women, recalling their struggles, merits, realities and dreams.
You can visit the exhibition at the Euro-Arab Foundation’s headquarters till Friday, 29 January, from Monday till Thursday during morning and evening working hours, and Fridays till 15.00.
