Baghdad, Mon Amour
Baghdad, Mon Amour is a memoir by Salah Al Hamdani centered on his imprisonment under Saddam Hussein, his subsequent exile in France for more than thirty years, and his emotional return to Baghdad and seeing his family again after all those years with feelings of tremendous joy but also guilt for having “abandoned” them. The beauty of Al Hamdani’s prose and poetry is skillfully captured in Sonia Alland’s translation.
Baghdad, Adieu
Iraqi poet Salah Al Hamdani has lived a remarkable life. The author of some forty books in French and Arabic, he began life as a child laborer, with little or no education. As a political prisoner under Saddam Hussein, he learned to read and write Arabic; once he was released form prison, he continued to work against the regime, ultimately, at age twenty-one, choosing exile in Paris. He now writes in French, but he remains a poet of exile, of memory, wounded by the loss of his homeland and those dear to him. This landmark collection gathers thirty-five years of his writings, from his first volume in Arabic, Memory of Embers, to his latest collection, written originally in French, For You I Dream. It offers English-language readers their first substantial overview of Al Hamdani's work, fired by the fight against injustice and shot through with longing for the home to which he can never return.

Je te rêve
« Je te rêve » est un poème tissé des souvenirs de l'auteur Salah Al Hamdani, de sa vie passée et présente, en Irak et en France. Révélant ses espoirs et ses peines, ces vers sont dédiés à sa petite fille, Lou, dont la présence se fait ressentir dans chacune des paroles de l'auteur ; Lou qui a scellé à jamais le poète à la France, sa terre d'accueil.
Ce qu'il reste de lumière
C'est au coeur de la détresse que le poète livre son combat pour lui-même, mais aussi pour tous ses frères condamnés à l'errance, au silence et à l'obscurité. Salah al-Hamdani est né en 1951 à Bagdad ; acteur et metteur en scène, opposant au régime de Saddam Hussein, il vit en France depuis 1974.

Can Art Aid in Resolving Conflicts?
A pioneering survey of leading and emerging global artists, curators and art practitioners on the question: can art aid in conflict resolution and therefore reduce global tensions and human suffering? Throughout the centuries, art has documented the atrocities of wars, participated in propaganda campaigns, and served as an advocate for peace and social justice around the world. The aim of this project is to explore how art can assist in creating dialogue and bridges across cultures and opposing groups. Over 100 leading and emerging architects, artists, curators, choreographers, composers, and directors of art institutions around the globe explore the potentially constructive role of the arts in conflict resolution. A summarizing chapter maps out the diverse positions and examines the variety of themes and approaches that were brought up.
