“The ocean with all its beauty, anger and gifts has always played an important role in my life. Having grown up close to the North Sea, I have also lived in many other places in the world, always close to an ocean or sea. It was therefore not surprising that the ocean became the focus of my work because it has always been deep in my soul. I remain fascinated by the variety and beauty of colors and shapes, everything from soft and ethereal to stark and menacing. Nature remains perfection for me and it is and remains inspiring for me to put this on paper”.
Liduine Bekman has exhibited in many solo and group exhibitions, mainly in the United States but also in Europe. She has won many awards including the prestigious first prize at the National Watercolor Society in the United States.
Her work is included in many national collections in the United States, including the Cousteau Foundation, the city of Houston, hotel chains such as Hilton, Marriott and Wyndham, multinational corporations such as IBM, Exxon, many banks and hospitals and of course countless private collections. The exhibition was made possible in part by Pulchro Sacrum."

~ Nostalgic sketch ~ by Takehiro Toriyama

"During the day, I walk around the city and draw, and when I return to my room at night, I draw what I bought at a greengrocer, a fruit shop, a flower shop, etc."

Looking back to Jane Wong's 2019 exhibition “After Preparing the Altar, the Ghosts Feast Feverishly”, @fryeartmuseum Reposted from @sinethetamag
"Jane Wong is a Chinese-American poet, essayist, and professor based in Seattle. A Kundiman fellow, she is also a recipient of the Pushcart Prize and numerous fellowships and art awards. Her poetry often discusses immigrant narratives, intergenerational trauma and silenced histories. Jane is currently assistant professor at Western Washington University. Her project on the poetics of haunting from social, political and historical contexts in Asian American poetry has appeared as a TEDx talk and a multimedia website.
Jane’s first solo museum exhibition, “After Preparing the Altar, the Ghosts Feast Feverishly”, was displayed until September 1, 2019 at the Frye Art Museum. This exhibit was inspired by Jane’s own upbringing in a Chinese-American restaurant in New Jersey, as well as her family’s experience of hunger and poverty in rural China. This installation provokes a deeper understanding of food waste, the reality of low-income families and food as comfort across multiple generations.

Reposted from @zulfikaralibhutto "Sindh in 750 AD at the time of the Arab conquest. The river at this time had divided into two streams after exiting contemporary Punjab that joined at Sivistan (sehwan). The ancient Saraswati (Persianized Hakra) was in its last days and would eventually merge with the Indus and become the Nara (see second image). A mini ice age caused low water levels that led to a drought in the delta, great cities like Debal / Deval with its large temples began to dive deeper into poverty. When Muhammad bin Qasim’s troops came Hindu astrologers pronounced it as their destiny, likely a response to the many woes of water shortages in the delta. Qasim’s invasion was therefore swift and easeful though most certainly violent. Nerun kot - contemporary Hyderabad was overwhelmed and Brahman Abad (Al-Mansur) was laid siege to twice as Raja Dahir’s living descendants attempted to hide in the fort for shelter. Sindh’s old capital Aror still has a functioning Kali cave temple likely from that era, as well as the ruins of an ancient mosque. Drilling for lime in the area has ruined what was once a picturesque hilly environment." #sindhiembroidery #sindh #history #indus #sindhu

Reposted from @nowness #NOWNESSexperiments: "See a crumbling Lebanese theater set the stage for a haunting ghost opera
"Shabah El Rih" is set in Le Grand Théâtre des Mille et Une Nuits, a historical landmark in the center of Beirut
Built in the late 1920s, it played host to international performances, films and was an icon of contemporary Middle Eastern culture
After the 1975 civil war, the building was eventually boarded up and forgotten. There was no attempt to revive the theater until the people’s revolution of 2019, which led to its barriers finally being pulled down
Directors Aya Atoui and Anthony Sahyoun's insight on the revolution against government corruption sets a rather political tone for the otherwise ethereal visuals of "Shabah El Rih" (Second Wind)
In a set designed by Whard Sleiman and cinematography by Nader Bahsoun, their projection of opera singer Monà Hallab onto curtains billowing in the theater’s crumbling interiors deftly evokes the feeling of bygone Beirut
