Spotkanie zorganizowane zostało w ramach inicjatywy Laboratorium Przyszłości: RAZEM / OSOBNO. Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej, 31 stycznia 2013 r. [1h12min] https://wszechnica.org.pl/wyklad/dzihad-kontra-mcswiat-islam-nowoczesnosc-i-przyszlosc/ Czego chcieli Arabowie, gdy w 2011 roku wyszli na ulice tunezyjskich i egipskich miast? O czym marzą muzułmanie i muzułmanki pracując, ucząc się i podróżując po całym świecie? Czego wreszcie pragną bojownicy Dżihadu? Końca McŚwiata i jego cywilizacji? Czy przeciwnie – nowego iPada, jak twierdził francuski publicysta Guy Sorman podczas Europejskiego Kongresu Kultury we Wrocławiu? „Ale przecież iPady już mamy! – odpowiedział wówczas egipski artysta Ganzeer. – Chcemy wolności, godności, sprawiedliwości”. Co jednak oznaczają te pojęcie w kulturowym kontekście islamu? W dyskusji udział wzięli dr Monika Bobako z Pracowni Pytań Granicznych Uniwersytetu Adama Mickiewicza i prof. Janusz Danecki, polski arabista i islamista, językoznawca i literaturoznawca, profesor nauk humanistycznych, pracownik naukowy Katedry Arabistyki i Islamistyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Spotkanie prowadził Edwin Bendyk. Dyskusję poprzedził kilkuminutowy performance CANAN, urodzonej w 1970 roku w Turcji artystki, aktywnej feministki, określającej swoją sztukę jako otwarcie polityczną. W swoich pracach ujawnia i kwestionuje społeczne, polityczne i religijne mechanizmy kształtujące i regulujące życie prywatne, zwłaszcza sytuację kobiety. Performance zawiera sceny nagości. W pierwszej części spotkania rozmówcy wrócili do genezy Wiosny Arabskiej. Prof. Janusz Danecki zwrócił uwagę, że rewolucja objęła kraje będące republikami, a ominęła królestwa (oprócz Bahrajnu). Dr Monika Bobako przytoczyła koncepcję Hamida Dabashi, według którego rewolucja arabska kończy okres postkolonializmu. „Rozsypuje się pewien geopolityczny porządek świat. Stare kategorie się rozsypują, potrzebujemy nowych. To powód dla którego jesteśmy zaskoczeni” - powiedziała. Czy możemy dziś jeszcze mówić o „świecie islamu” i „świecie zachodu”? W drugiej części spotkania rozmówcy analizowali m. in. zjawisko feminizmu islamskiego. Czy emancypacja kobiet musi oznaczać sekularyzację, czy też można pogodzić ją z tradycją religijną? Co jednak oznacza zarówno sekularyzacja, jak i tradycja w kulturach przenikniętych religią i jednocześnie przeoranych przez liczne nowoczesne zjawiska od kolonizacji po socjalistyczną dyktaturę? *** "Laboratorium Przyszłości: RAZEM/OSOBNO to kolejna odsłona długofalowego projektu zainicjowanego w 2011 roku przez Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej Zamek Ujazdowski. Jego celem jest zwrócenie się ku przyszłości poprzez połączenie najważniejszych tematów, prognoz i intuicji obecnych w sztuce współczesnej, nauce, polityce i życiu społecznym. Punktem wyjścia jest przekonanie o konieczności przywrócenia debaty o przyszłości i możliwym kształcie świata w centrum społecznego zainteresowania. W dyskusji tej szczególnie ważne wydaje się połączenie głosu artystów i ich diagnoz, badań oraz intuicji z dyskursem obecnym na innych polach i w obszarze innych dyscyplin. Projekt RAZEM/OSOBNO skupia się na społeczeństwie przyszłości: relacjach jednostki i grupy, możliwych typach organizacji społecznej partycypacji w świecie, przeciwstawnych tendencjach, które mogą mieć wpływ na to, jak potoczy się życie społeczne i jakie przyjmie formy.

Ganzeer talked about his work as a muralist and street artist and how the Egyptian Revolution was a turning point in his career.Described as a “chameleon” by Carlo McCormick in the New York Times, Ganzeer operates seamlessly between art, design, and storytelling, creating what he has coined: Concept Pop. His medium of choice according to Artforum is “a little bit of everything: stencils, murals, paintings, pamphlets, comics, installations, and graphic design.” With over 40 exhibitions to his name, Ganzeer's work has been seen in a wide variety of art galleries, impromptu spaces, alleyways, and major museums around the world, such as The Brooklyn Museum in New York, The Palace of the Arts in Cairo, Greek State Museum in Thessaloniki, the V&A in London, and the Edith Russ Haus in Oldenburg. Ganzeer's current projects include a short story collection titled TIMES NEW HUMAN, and a sci-fi graphic novel titled THE SOLAR GRID, an epic work-in-progress which has awarded him a Global Thinker Award from Foreign Policy in 2016.Created and hosted by Mikey Muhanna, afikraEdited by: Ramzi RammanTheme music by: Tarek Yamani https://www.instagram.com/tarek_yamani/About the afikra Conversations:Our long-form interview series features academics, arts, and media experts who are helping document and/or shape the history and culture of the Arab world through their work.

Egyptian artist Ganzeer gained notoriety internationally for his role in the Egyptian Revolution in 2011. His protest art led to him being frequently referred to as a “street artist,” but his work spans different mediums and his subjects are multi-dimensional. With the premier of his new graphic novel, The Solar Grid, Ganzeer weaves together different themes of social commentary into a SciFi narrative that isn't as far off from reality as it may seem. Theme music "Motion to Beat" by Modhify. Additional music "Animal" and "Quantum Space" by Modhify.
Ten years on from the Arab Spring, the musician dubbed ‘the voice of the revolution' has rediscovered her musical roots during lockdown. Emel Mathlouthi talks to Nawal Al-Maghafi about her new found perspective on her home country, the Tunisian Revolution and the song that spread hope. When the protestors took to the streets of Cairo in 2011 political murals and graffiti soon followed, providing a visual commentary of the Egyptian Revolution. One of the most prominent street artists was Ganzeer, whose murals became emblematic of the protests. He tells us how a particular mural provided a political battleground for local residents. How has the Arab Spring been reflected through fiction? Yasmine El Rashidi is the Egyptian author of Chronicle of a Last Summer which follows a young girl who lives through the Mubarak regime and 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Mohammed Alnaas' short story collection Blue Bloods explores the psychological impact of surviving the Libyan Civil War . They join Nawal to discuss processing historic change and trauma through fiction.

You may know him from the days of 2011, but Ganzeer is far more than a street artist. Currently based in Houston, Texas, Ganzeer travelled the world creating commentary art on each place he's lived, from New York to California, including illustrating “The Apartment of Bab El Louk”. He also gave us a sneak peek on what his upcoming graphic novel series “The Solar Grid” has in store.

This week we talk to an old Cairo friend, acclaimed Egyptian artist Ganzeer, about art, propaganda, publishing and how much damn work it is to put out a graphic novel.
My guest is Stephanie Feldman. She co-edited Who Will Speak For America? (https://www.amazon.com/Will-Speak-America-Stephanie-Feldman/dp/1439916241/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514208101&sr=8-1&keywords=who+will+speak+for+america), with Nathaniel Popkin. The editors and contributors to Who Will Speak for America? (https://www.amazon.com/Will-Speak-America-Stephanie-Feldman/dp/1439916241/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514208101&sr=8-1&keywords=who+will+speak+for+america)are passionate and justifiably angry voices providing a literary response to today’s political crisis. Inspired by and drawing from the work of writers who participated in nationwide Writers Resist events in January 2017, this volume provides a collection of poems, stories, essays, and cartoons that wrestle with the meaning of America and American identity. The contributions—from established figures including Eileen Myles, Melissa Febos, Jericho Brown, and Madeleine Thien, as well as rising new voices, such as Carmen Maria Machado, Ganzeer, and Liana Finck—confront a country beset by racial injustice, poverty, misogyny, and violence. Contributions reflect on the terror of the first days after the 2016 Presidential election, but range well beyond it to interrogate the past and imagine possible American futures. Who Will Speak for America?

These moving works advance the conversation the American colonists began, and that generations of activists, in their efforts to perfect our union, have elevated and amplified.

After Cymene and Dominic take a moment to call out for profit academic publishing and cheerleading, this week’s podcast brings you (16:00) the keynote panel from CENHS’s Cultures of Energy 7 symposium, which explored the art, craft and significance of making alternate worlds. The conversation features famed Egyptian artist Ganzeer (The Solar Grid) celebrated novelist Jeff VanderMeer (Annihilation, Borne) in conversation with Cymene (Unda) about worldmaking in the context of our the ecological crises besetting our planet and its species. All three explain their approaches to storytelling and worldmaking and the conversation that follows (43:51) ranges widely from what kinds of new opportunities for story-making our contemporary ecological conditions offer us to the dangers of colonial and racialized imaginations carrying over into alternate worlding practices and how we break free of old systems of thought to imagine true alternatives to the status quo. Special thanks to Caroline Levander for moderating the discussion!!

Christine Smith is a graduate student in the Department of Geography. A recipient of a grant from the National Science Foundation, Smith has been spending months in Egypt learning Arabic and conducting research since 2010. During her trip in summer of 2011, she interviewed a variety of artists, including Ganzeer, an internationally-known street artist. In this interview, Smith discusses her experiences as a geographer and language student, and shares her perspective on the revolutionary upheaval known as the Arab Spring of 2011. Smith's research will take her to Egypt again this year to conduct research on public space and how individuals cope with the threat of state violence. This podcast was produced by Cheyenne Hohman.
Ganzeer rose to fame following the revolution due to his touching murals for the martyrs, and sharp sarcastic wit with his "Freedom Mask". Rami sits down to discuss his arrest, his new gallery showing entitled "The Virus Is Spreading" and who he would want to punch in the face.
Från och med lördag 2 april gör Kulturredaktionens program nedslag i tankarna som denna vår av revolter har väckt. Kosmo har varit på plats i Kairo och mött författare och konstnärer som berättar att den egyptiska revolutionen blev en energikick. – Nu är det vi som äger gatorna, säger Ganzeer. Han är en konstnär som utnyttjat egyptiernas nyvunna frihet till att måla monumentala bilder av ungdomarna som dödades i revolutionens början. För att hedra dem och påminna om att revolutionen måste fortgå, säger han. Hör också författaren till Yacobians hus, Ala al Aswany, som idag skriver om människor på torget och konstnären Lara Baladi som gör radio tillsammans med människor hon lärt känna på Tahrirtorget i Karine Mannerfelts reportage. Hon har också träffat konstnären Nermine Hammam som inte är lika säker på att Egypten är på rätt väg och framför allt ifrågasätter militärens nya roll. De psykologiska mekanismer som drar igång när en grupp människor samlas för att protestera mot en regim, när en grupp personer slåss för något de tror på eller när långkonjunkturen drabbar världsekonomin är ämnen som intresserar den holländske konstnären Aernout Mik. I en rad videoinstallationer har han iscensatt situationer som påminner om verkliga händelser, men som inte riktigt går att placera. Just nu visas en omfattande utställning med Aernout Miks verk på Jeu de Paume i Paris. Cecilia Blomberg har sett den och åkte sedan vidare till Amsterdam och träffade konstnären i hans ateljé ute i det gamla hamnområdet KNSM-eiland. Just nu pågår skenrättegångar i Vitryssland mot människor som befann sig på torget i Minsk i samband med valet 19 december då förhoppningarna om en förändring i Vitryssland brutalt slogs i spillror. Rättegångarna mot oppositionens fängslade presidentkandidater väntar i sommar. Maria Söderberg, som är fotograf och skribent, har rest i landet sedan 1997. De författare hon har kontakt med säger att de känner sig paralyserade. Hur ska man kunna skriva när man kanske nästa dag sitter i arrest? Kerstin Wixe har mött henne.
