Longing for Eternity
This book, edited and curated by Mary Angela Schroth, tells the story of the acquisitions in the private collection of Hussain Ali Harba, which started out with a 1970s painting by Fa'iq Hassan, one of the protagonists of Iraqi modern art, through to experimental contemporary artists such as Adel Abidin. Born in Babylon (Iraq) in 1961 and living in Turin, Italy since 1979, Harba received his first artwork from his father at the age of 15, and through the years has become one of the most impassioned Iraqi collectors in the world. Together with his family, he is building a private museum in Babylon that will one day permanently house this major collection. The book bears witness to Harba's work of dedication and conservation of the artistic patrimony of his native country.00.
Acqua Ferita. Wounded Water
Iraq's experimental contemporary artists have never had a chance to present their work for an Iraq Pavilion at the Biennale di Venezia; the first and last major appearance in 1976 outlined only some of their "modern" artists. The Iraq Pavilion for 2011 will indeed show the world an exciting professionally-curated selection of 6 Iraqi artists from two generations, including various artistic media (painting, performance, video, photography, sculpture/installation). [Ali Assaf, Commissioner for the Pavilion of Iraq 2011] This publication, supported also by Major Patron Hussain Ali Al Hariri, is thus a homage to all participants in the 2011 Pavilion of Iraq, a pilot project that is the basis for the continuation of the Pavilion for the next edition in 2013 and the creation of a permanent platform for Iraqi contemporary art.

Women, the Arts, and Dictatorship in the Portuguese-Speaking Context
This book deals with the work of twentieth-century women artists and literary authors from Portugal, Brazil and Portuguese-speaking African countries against the backdrop of political dictatorships. The essays in this volume reflect upon and challenge canonical perspectives on the arts and literature, bringing to light some of the hidden and silenced faces of Lusophone culture. By doing so, they highlight how dominant ideologies marked the artistic and literary practices of Portuguese-speaking women, and how these women in turn developed strategies of resistance through their creative work. The volume brings together contributors working in a range of disciplines, including literary criticism, the visual arts, and film studies, all of whom reflect on themes such as the reactions of women artists to authoritarianism, the representations of political repression in their work, the colonial war, and the critical revision of this historical moment by a younger generation of artists. It addresses scholars, critics, students and cultural workers with an interest in post-colonial and feminist studies in the Portuguese-speaking context.
The Justice of Visual Art
Drawing on novel case studies, this book provides the first substantive theoretical framework for understanding transitional justice and visual art.
Reclaim
Little has been published about African women artists to date. This is due to a general Western hegemony over the construction of histories and discourses, but also to discrimination against women across national borders. This publication attempts to fill some of the gaps and explore the patterns underlying these dynamics. It brings together research on the practices and lives of women from different African countries, from modernist artists to independence activists to contemporary voices. These proceedings emerge from the symposium "Reclaim: Narratives of African Women Artists," organised by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions in partnership with the Ecole du Louvre as part of the Africa2020 Season. They are a contribution to the revalorisation of the role of African women artists in cultural history, but also to broader reflections on the mechanisms of knowledge production both in Africa and in the West.
Mémoires 1967 - 2007
Il Centro sperimentale per l'arte contemporanea Sala 1, fondato da Tito Amodei nel 1967 a Roma nel complesso architettonico della Scala Santa, ripercorre i propri quaranta anni di vita attraverso le testimonianze dei protagonisti della vita culturale dello spazio. Una storia corale, polifonica, frutto d'intrecci di singole voci, veicoli di pensieri e di esperienze individuali che incontrandosi hanno delineato traiettorie e fughe, determinando, nel loro interagire per inclusione ed esclusione, il senso del proprio operato. La diacronia serrata dei singoli eventi di tanto in tanto rallenta il proprio ritmo per accogliere approfondimenti e racconti analitici, dei veri e propri zoom narrativi, nel tentativo di fornire ulteriori chiavi di lettura e di comprensione di un operare - tanto denso, quanto effimero - quale quello che caratterizza la nostra arte contemporanea. Con una appassionata prefazione di Toni Maraini.
