C'est la première fois que le peintre égyptien Hamed Abdalla, disparu en 1985, bénéficie d'une rétrospective en France. En ce moment, et jusqu'au 12 juillet 2026, l'Institut du monde arabe-Tourcoing rend hommage au peintre prolifique, inventeur du « mot forme », et dont le parcours nous informe autant sur sa propre trajectoire que sur celle de son pays. C'est la couleur, d'abord, qui saute aux yeux. L'exposition Hamed Abdalla : Signes d'Égypte a recouvert les murs de l'IMA-Tourcoing des teintes chères au peintre : l'ocre, le brun, mais aussi des rouges vifs, des verts profonds et des bleus électriques. Dès les premiers pas, plongée garantie donc dans l'univers du peintre, encore aujourd'hui relativement confidentiel en France. « C'est assez paradoxal, pointe la directrice du musée, Katia Boudoyan. Hamed Abdalla reste assez méconnu du public, alors même qu'il bénéficie d'une reconnaissance internationale dans le monde de l'art et dans les musées. » Et de reconnaissance, on en fait difficilement de plus éclatante : le peintre né en Égypte – pays auquel il est resté profondément attaché malgré ses exils successifs au Danemark et en France – est aujourd'hui exposé aussi bien à la Tate Gallery, à Londres, qu'au Metropolitan Museum of Arts à New York et qu'au Mathaf à Doha. « Il nous semblait donc important, poursuit Katia Boudoyan, de faire connaître au public cet artiste qui se caractérise aussi bien par la diversité de son esthétique que par son regard sur l'histoire égyptienne. » Un touche-à-tout des arts visuels La diversité de l'art selon Abdalla, d'abord. Sur la centaine de pièces récoltées auprès de la famille du peintre, on trouve aussi bien des lithographies que des peintures à l'acrylique ou à la gouache – mais aussi des supports plus surprenants. « Tout au long de sa vie, Hamed Abdalla n'a cessé d'expérimenter, sourit Nada Majdoub, la commissaire en charge de l'exposition. Il a peint à l'encaustique, s'est servi de techniques sur papier froissé, de papier de soie imbibé d'encre et roulé en boule. » Quelques mètres plus loin, elle renchérit : « Il a même peint avec du goudron ! » Ces explorations diverses et variées ont toutefois toutes une même ligne de vie : le mot-forme, une invention d'Hamed Abdalla, à la croisée entre calligraphie et figuration. Un « véritable pied-de-nez », selon Nada Majdoub, « puisque dans l'islam, la figuration est mal vue. » Ici, Hamed Abdalla trouve, dans l'écriture des mots arabes, des formes correspondant au sens du mot. Le mot « la guerre » prend par exemple la forme d'un taureau cornu sur fond noir, tandis que « la capitulation » se confond avec la représentation d'une silhouette prostrée. « Pour comprendre l'œuvre d'Hamed Abdalla, il faut bien distinguer la lisibilité et l'intelligibilité. La lisibilité, c'est, si l'on veut, la première couche, détaille Nada Majdoub. Mais, ce qui l'intéresse vraiment, c'est l'intelligibilité : pouvoir être compris par des personnes qui ne lisent pas l'arabe, ou qui ne savent pas lire, qui ne peuvent lire que les images. » Une œuvre profondément politique Les mots-formes d'Hamed Abdalla ont aussi rythmé – ou en tout cas gardé la mémoire – des soubresauts politiques de l'Égypte, et plus largement du Moyen-Orient. La guerre, la capitulation, ou au contraire la révolte et la liberté : autant de mots qui reflètent l'histoire de l'Égypte, à laquelle le peintre s'intéressait de près. « Son œuvre fait vraiment écho aux grands moments de l'Égypte de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, appuie la directrice du musée Katia Boudoyan, qu'il s'agisse de moments douloureux ou de construction. » L'artiste a toujours porté un regard profondément engagé sur son pays, mais aussi sur ses voisins, et notamment la Palestine. Ce n'est donc « pas anodin » de lui consacrer une exposition en 2026, pointe l'historienne, « au regard de l'actualité qui frappe l'Orient et le Moyen-Orient. Son engagement est toujours d'actualité. » Et Nada Majdoub de conclure : « Ce que cette exposition essaie de faire, c'est d'expliquer l'histoire telle qu'elle est depuis un siècle, et de faire comprendre aussi que ce à quoi l'on assiste en ce moment n'a pas commencé aujourd'hui. Il s'agit de laisser cette histoire s'installer dans le temps long, et de l'observer à travers l'œil d'un artiste. » Les signes d'Égypte d'Hamed Abdalla n'attendent plus que d'être déchiffrés.

O que é um animal exótico? Um mesmo animal pode ser exótico em algum lugar mas noutro não? E o que seria um animal selvagem? E silvestre? Essa semana conversamos sobre essas definições todas e como esses animais podem estar presentes no nosso dia a dia. Além disso, quais os impactos de termos esses animais à disposição em nosso país? Como acontece o mercado e quais as consequências para os animais, para o meio ambiente e para nós, humanos? Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

A2 THE SHOW #596On this episode of A2 THE SHOW, we're joined by Chaker Bou Abdalla, a Lebanese stand-up comedian, actor, and writer known for his deadpan, existential humor. He reflects on his journey from graphic design to comedy, the evolution of stand-up in Lebanon, and the challenges of freedom of expression, cultural sensitivity, and stage anxiety. With sharp wit and quiet intensity, Chaker shares how humor helps navigate personal struggles, generational trauma, and the absurd realities of life—on and off the stage.⭐ Instagram: @chaker_bou_abdalla
He's known for his roles in movies including The Kite Runner, Green Zone and United 93, as well as playing Dodi Fayed in The Crown.
In this episode of the Rox Lyfe podcast, I'm chatting with Faisal Abdalla. You'll likely know him as one of the HYROX MCs and the voice you hear at finish lines around the world, but he's far more than that. Faisal trains hard, races regularly, and recently completed a half Ironman while juggling HYROX events, coaching, and family life. We talk about how he approaches the role, how his PMA philosophy guides him on and off the mic, and the insights he's gained from watching thousands of athletes race, struggle, and finish right in front of him. We also get into the moments that stand out after years inside the arena, what it takes to give that much energy every weekend, and how he's built a career that spans Barry's Bootcamp, coaching, film sets, and some of the biggest HYROX stages in the world. It was a fun and honest chat, and I think you'll really enjoy it.

Yaseen Abdalla's story is one of adaptation and ambition.He's a runner who has thrived across programs, distances, and continents, representing Sudan on the international stage while redefining what a new-generation distance athlete can be.At the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, Abdalla placed 21st in the marathon (2:13:32), continuing a remarkable ascent that began a year after his Olympic debut in Paris, where he set a Sudanese national record of 2:11:41.Known for his blend of speed and endurance, Abdalla's range is staggering. His personal records include a 3:55.31 mile in 2025, 7:34.17 in the 3,000m in 2024, 13:09.99 in the 5,000m in 2025, and that 2:11:41 marathon.Those numbers speak to a rare physiology: miler-level leg speed married to marathon efficiency.His rise has been anything but conventional. From Lanham, Maryland and growing up in Texas, Abdalla ran collegiately for Texas, where he anchored the Longhorns' 2022 NCAA champion distance medley relay, before transferring to Tennessee and later Arkansas, where he finished fourth at the 2024 NCAA Cross Country Championships. That same winter, he set Sudanese indoor records at 3,000m and 5,000m at the Boston University meets.Competing internationally for Sudan and a Bandit Running–supported athlete, Abdalla has his sights set on breaking the 2:10 barrier. His current training maintains track sharpness (strides/speed) alongside marathon preparation.In today's conversation, Tap into the Yaseen Abdalla Special.

If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk. Show Notes "I think, regardless of how technology evolves, it's very important and us the most important thing is for us to be decent and understanding of each other and to be willing to like work towards a common goal."— Safia Abdalla Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today, we're joined by Safia Abdalla. Safia is one of the engineers at Microsoft who works on ASP .NET Core, meaning that most of her work is in the open. We talk about Safia's journey in development, what it means to work entirely in the open, and what it's like to read through and triage issues on the ASP .NET Core repo. "I have certain people in my open source career who I have met and interacted with on a number of different projects, And the ones that stand out as great mentors and role models for me were people who were so good at creating psychological safety in open source spaces so that people could present their ideas. And they were really good at uplifting other people's ideas and pushing them further."— Safia Abdalla We also talk about the importance of interpersonal skills in modern software engineering (whether you're working in open source or not), psychological safety, and the importance of self-reflection in our day-to-day work.

Full transcript Watch this interview on YouTube — “Sometimes when you get to a fork in the road and you have to decide, am I going to stay in this job or take this new job? … It can feel like the weight of the world on your shoulders to make that decision,” says Noha Abdalla, CMO of Choice Hotels. “[But] each path is going to lead you somewhere else and you're going to learn something new. And so take the burden off a little bit or the weight of that decision off and pick something and learn from it.” That philosophy has carried Noha from consulting to the American Red Cross, from Animal Planet to Hilton, and now to leading marketing across 22 brands and millions of room nights at Choice. Along the way, she's seen firsthand how marketing builds trust, not just bookings, and how AI is transforming the creative process. Today on Building Better CMOs, Noha talks with MMA Global CEO Greg Stuart about the challenges of hospitality marketing, the decision to bring in Keegan-Michael Key as brand ambassador, and her team's experiments with agentic AI to personalize at scale. They also discuss the role of mentorship, lessons from running a franchise business, and why marketers must champion emotional connection and trust at every step of the customer journey.

In this episode, we hear from Dr. Noor Abdalla, a Syrian-American dentist and the wife of Mr. Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian student activist and legal U.S. resident who has been illegally detained by ICE since March 8, 2025, for speaking out about Palestinian rights. Mr. Khalil was abducted by ICE while coming home from a Ramadan iftar with Dr. Abdalla, who was 8 months pregnant at the time. Mr. Khalil's chilling abduction has sent shockwaves through student and activist communities around the world. In her own words, Dr. Abdalla recounts the horrific moment her husband was taken in front of her and speaks with host Diana Buttu about the ongoing toll this separation has taken on their lives. On April 21, Dr. Abdalla gave birth to their first child without Mahmoud by her side. In a cruel decision, the Department of Homeland Security denied Mr. Khalil's request and permission to attend the birth of his first child, whom Mr. Khalil has only met over video. While speaking with Ms. Buttu, Dr. Abdalla not only delivers a powerful call for her husband's freedom, but she also states that this is not just about Mahmoud; this is about all of us, and we must refuse to be silent about Palestinian rights and continue to speak out during times of injustice. Mr. Khalil is one of the many students and scholars being targeted by the Trump administration for speaking out against Israel's genocide in Gaza and demanding that the US stop supplying weapons to Israel. From Columbia University to Tufts, ICE has orchestrated a wave of politically motivated unlawful detentions—often in public, and without warning or due process. Please see below the ways you can learn more about the call for Mr. Khalil's freedom and safe return home with his family: IG: @justice4mahmoud https://www.instagram.com/justice4mahmoud/?igsh=MXA5aXR0Zzh4a3k4dA%3D%3D# Thank you for tuning into This is Palestine, the official podcast of The IMEU!

First, Ralph welcomes Washington Post tech journalist Faiz Siddiqui to discuss his new book "Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk." Then, our resident legal expert Bruce Fein stops by to explain how Elon Musk and DOGE are breaking the law. Finally, David picks up our interview with Ralph about Ralph's new book "Civic Self-Respect."Faiz Siddiqui is a technology journalist who writes for the Washington Post and has covered companies such as Tesla, Uber, and Twitter (now X) for the Business Desk. His reporting has focused on transportation, social media and government transformation, among other issues. He is the author of Hubris Maximus: The Shattering of Elon Musk (excerpted here).Over and over throughout this book, there's this recurring theme of victimhood, or at least Elon feeling like his back is against the wall. And why? For what? He and his fans felt they were doing the right things, and yet they were being scrutinized and punished for it.Faiz SiddiquiIn the wake of many Facebook scandals, many Uber scandals, Tesla was the company to work for. Elon was the person to work for. There was no figure as magnetic, who inspired people in the way that Elon did. So recruiting was a strong suit of that company. And the pitch was: come here and change the world.Faiz SiddiquiI think what this book brings is a healthy dose of reality and skepticism… that so far has been lacking from the overall conversation around Musk. And what I you'll find is (I hope you'll find) that you can identify with some of the folks in the book who were lured in by the promises (or just enamored by the guy and what he might be able to bring to society if his goals were ultimately realized) but then ended up feeling disappointed or feeling like—hey, this guy was not all he was cracked up to be. Even if the goals were noble, even if the ambitions were the right ones, the ends might not have justified the means. And so I want people to find, ideally, that their understanding of one of the most powerful people in society today is enriched.Faiz SiddiquiBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.[Elon Musk is] just a walking violation of the federal code.Bruce FeinThere's nowhere to go but up in terms of being a smart consumer. Unfortunately, our Elementary and high schools don't teach consumer skills (they prefer to teach computer skills) and consumer skills result in what is, in effect, a pay raise.Ralph NaderAdam Smith once said many centuries ago that the purpose of production is consumption. And if consumption is informed and feeds back, it can lead to a high-quality economy. It can lead to more integrity to your consumer dollar and to your health and safety. It can lead to less environmental damage. It could lead to stronger regulation of product defects and services that are harmful. It's sort of a bottom-up economic democracy.Ralph NaderComplexity is a tool of power. Complex tax regulations are often blamed on the federal bureaucracy. No, it's the corporate tax lawyers.Ralph NaderNews 4/25/251. On Monday, April 21st, Vatican News announced the death of Pope Francis. This came just one day after Easter Sunday, when Francis met with Vice-President JD Vance. The day prior, Francis had snubbed the VP, sending in his place Cardinal Pietro Parolintoto to “deliver a lecture on compassion,” per the Daily Beast. Pope Francis led the Catholic Church since 2013 and during his tenure sought to move the church in a vastly more progressive direction – preaching against capitalism's destruction of the environment, advocating for abolition of the death penalty and greater acceptance for LGBTQ Catholics within the church, and expanding the reach of the church into non-traditional areas such as Mongolia among many other initiatives. This won him the admiration of many around the world, but also drew the ire of the conservative clergy, particularly in the United States. Francis was the first Jesuit Pope and the first Pope to hail from the New World. Senior churchmen will now assemble to elect a new pope. This conclave is expected to be contentious, with progressives seeking to consolidate Francis' reforms, while the conservatives see an opening to take back the formal organs of the church.2. Instead of death, our next story concerns birth. Noor Abdalla – wife of Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian Columbia University student currently being held by ICE in Louisiana – gave birth to their son on Monday. According to a statement by Abdalla, reported by Arya Sundaram of WNYC, ICE denied a request for Khalil to be temporarily released to meet their son, a “purposeful decision by ICE to make [her], Mahmoud, and our son suffer.” Later in this statement, Abdalla writes, “I will continue to fight every day for Mahmoud to come home to us. I know when Mahmoud is freed, he will show our son how to be brave, thoughtful, and compassionate just like his dad.” Khalil's case continues to wind its way through the courts; the result of this case will have significant ramifications for the Trump administration's ability to remove individuals with legal status on the basis of political speech.3. In an encouraging sign, more and more congressional Democrats are getting personally involved in cases of Trump administration overreach on immigration. In addition to Senator Chris Van Hollen's highly-publicized visit to El Salvador, TruthOut reports that Senator Peter Welch met with Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia University student entrapped with a false citizenship test, in Vermont. Meanwhile Cape Cod Times reports that on April 22nd, Senator Ed Markey and Representatives Ayanna Pressley and Jim McGovern of Massachusetts – along with Democratic members of the House Troy Carter and Bennie Thompson – traveled to a Louisiana detention facility to demand the release of Rümeysa Öztürk, the Tufts University grad student who was abducted off the street last month by masked ICE agents. This delegation met with Öztürk herself, as well as Mahmoud Khalil. And CBS reports Representatives Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, Yassamin Ansari and Maxine Dexter traveled to El Salvador as well, keeping pressure up regarding the Kilmar Garcia case. Still, hundreds of immigrants of varying status have been deported to the ominous and shadowy CECOT prison camp in El Salvador without due process since Trump began this mass deportation campaign.4. In more troubling Congressional news, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel on April 16th calling for investigations into the progressive activist group CodePink as well as the New York City cultural center known as the People's Forum. This letter is almost textbook McCarthyite red-baiting, claiming CodePink and the People's Forum are nothing more than mouthpieces for the Chinese Communist Party, thereby violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Beyond the fact that these groups are engaging in nothing more than constitutionally protected political speech, it is clear from the citations within the letter that they are targeting these groups because of their pro-Palestine positions. This is just another escalation in the Orwellian suppression of free-speech critical of the Israel's illegal occupation. Unfortunately, just as with McCarthyism itself, we cannot count on congressional Democrats to go to bat for the free speech rights of the Left.5. In a win for consumers, Bloomberg reports Airbnb announced it will now display the total price of stays – including all fees – to comply with a Federal Trade Commission rule set to go into effect next month. Many worried that the FTC would rescind this rule with the changing of the administration, but for now at least, the Trump FTC seems poised to keep it. This new rule is expected to “nudge hosts to lower their cleaning fees to make rentals more affordable, as the sometimes-exorbitant fees have become a key reason why some customers preferred hotels over Airbnb.”6. Another positive move is that the Trump Department of Justice has proceeded with an anti-trust case against Google's advertising technology, or “adtech.” On April 17th, a judge found Google liable for “willfully acquiring and maintaining monopoly power,” in two markets for online advertising technology, per Reuters. This follows a similar judgment against Google regarding a monopoly on search, which is only amplified by its adoption of AI. Another trial will determine the remedy for this monopoly, which could include Google being forced to sell off aspects of its business. According to this report, “Google has previously explored selling its ad exchange to appease European antitrust regulators.” Senator Amy Klobuchar, former chair of the antitrust subcommittee, called the ruling “a big win for consumers, small businesses, and content creators that will open digital markets to more innovation and lower prices.”7. On the other hand, Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “58 corporations facing federal investigations & enforcement lawsuits collectively gave $50 million to Trump's inaugural fund. Cases against 11 of these corporations have already been dismissed or withdrawn, and 6 have been halted.” More granular information about each of these enforcement actions is available through Public Citizen's Corporate Enforcement Tracker database, but the big picture is clear: If a corporation wants the government off its back, all they have to do is make a handsome contribution. The Trump administration is pay-to-play and open for business.8. In another instance of the administration tying the hands of key federal regulators, the Food and Drug Administration will “End its Routine Food Safety Inspections,” according to the National Public Health Information Coalition. The FDA plans to “shift most…food safety inspections to state and local agencies.” While some food inspections are conducted at the state and local level, public health advocates are raising concerns about “oversight and consistency.” According to CBS, these plans have not been finalized.9. Turning to the very worst part of this administration, NOTUS reports “The DOGE website, the only public accounting of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's attempts to reduce federal government spending…[has posted]…revisions that suggest DOGE was previously overstating its savings by hundreds of millions of dollars.” These stunning, if not altogether surprising, overestimations are staggering in scale. “On Tuesday [April 15th] alone, DOGE removed around $962 million in previously claimed cuts and altered hundreds of others to boost individual items' purported ‘savings' values.” The incompetence of DOGE has led Musk to reduce the target goal of spending cuts, down from $1 trillion to just $150 billion – a drop in the bucket when it comes to federal spending and certainly not worth the evisceration of Social Security and other programs these cuts have entailed.10. Finally, in more bad news for Elon Musk, Reuters reports the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is tightening electric vehicle battery safety standards, specifically to “ensure…batteries won't catch fire or explode.” This is quite a humble regulatory goal. However, this new regulation could spell disaster for Tesla. According to Tesla-fire.com, there have been 232 confirmed cases of Tesla fires and “83 Fatalities Involving a Tesla Car Fire.” If I were a Chinese EV regulator, I would be wary of allowing Tesla vehicles on the roads. But that's just me.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
