in Our World, on the 1st of January 2010
New Years Day is celebrated in the Middle Eastern country of Jordan. 01/01/2010. Dozens of Southeast Asian and South Asian domestics traveled by local buses from Jordan's capital, Amman, to the nearby city of Mandaba, which has a large Christian population to welcome in the new year. The various women I chatted with had worked in Jordan for anywhere from six to more than 20 years. Most spoke rudimentary Arabic and are rarely able to visit their home countries. Mandaba's St. George's Greek Orthodox Church is famed for its Byzantine mosaics, but the domestics came for the spiritual atmosphere, quietly lighting candles amidst the din of tourist cameras. Here, two women enjoy Nescafes at a coffeeshop across from the church.

Popular culture items ranging from toys to movies are re-imagined for Muslim audiences such as these examples found recently in Syria. Fulla is the Arab “Barbie,” a dark-haired, dark eyed doll, found in a myriad of products ranging from coloring books to backpacks to scooters to shampoo. Fulla created a stir several years ago when Western media started writing about her appearance as an indigenous counter to the much more costly and often revealingly dressed Western doll. (NYT: “Barbie gets a prayer mat.”) While the packaging for this swimming pool added modest dress to the mother figure, this Jim Carrey 'Yes Man' movie poster on display outside a movie house in Aleppo represents a contrary trend: Air-brushing in more risqué images than the original as a bait to draw in male audiences. In another cultural adaptation, Master Cola, a Syrian-produced soft drink, offers a Coke-like beverage produced in Damascus since 1969, according to its website. Resisting cultural imperialism, or carving out a market? Culture critics at the feminist Muslimah Media Watch website suggest Fulla is just a way to “sell Islam,” and if the new volume by Vali Nasr is any indication, they may be right: “Forces of Fortune: The Rise of the New Muslim Middle Class and What it Will Mean for Our World.”

Islamic Art Exhibition now on display at Jordan's National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman, where seventeen artists from 13 countries were asked to interpret three of the holiest mosques in Islam -- Mecca's Haram Mosque, Medina's the Prophet’s Mosque, and Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque. Amman, Jordan. 31/12/2009. Seventeen artists from 13 countries were asked to interpret three of the holiest mosques in Islam -- Mecca's Haram Mosque, Medina's the Prophet’s Mosque, and Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa Mosque -- for the art exhibit, 'The Ultimate Journey,' now on display at Jordan's National Gallery of Fine Arts in Amman. The exhibit includes art from the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia. Video documentaries are shown via laptops and feature the artists explaining themselves and these specific works. In one, artist Mohammed al-Shammery, an Iraqi artist living in Amman who sometimes incorporates unexpected elements such as shipping codes into his paintings, talks about his lack of formal art education that left him 'scared to paint,' a fear he only overcame later in life. Some of the works are traditional renditions of the three mosques, while others such as Egypt's Ahmed Moustafa offer interpretive reflections. In Mustafa's 'Mohammed's Night Journey,' instead of an image of a mosque, the theme is visualized via soaring, colorful calligraphy. The exhibit was organized by Jordan's Royal Society of Fine Arts, working with Saudi Arabia's Layan Cultural Foundation.

This poster is pasted to an electrical box in Echo Park, a neighborhood just north of downtown Los Angeles, and reflects the city's multicultural melange. While LA has one of the largest populations of Iranians outside of Iran in the world, the comment scrawled on the bottom of the poster, 'Viva La Revolucion,' reflects the large Spanish-speaking community in this hipster, gentrifying part of town. USA, LA, 12/05/2009 <b>Update</b>: The poster is part of a series of 'Pretty Revolutionary' prints by Los Angeles printer Karen Fiorito in collaboration with Monet Clark. The other two prints in the series can be found at buddhacatpress.blogspot.com. Iranalliance also has various streetart Twitpics up of the posters including a cool shot of a Pretty Revolutionary print next to a print of Mossadegh, the Iranian prime minister the CIA overthrew in the 1950s. Iranian streetart was on display earlier this fall in an exhibit at Crewest gallery in downtown L.A. called <a href= 'http://crewest.com/exhibits/2009/streets_iran09.html'> 'From the Streets of Iran.' </a>
