 18/08/2010 Folk Art Paradise: Joe Minter’s African Village in America In 1989, retired construction worker and artist Joe Minter, Sr. had a vision: He wanted to commemorate 400 years of Africans in America by creating an installation using found materials, and erect it in his backyard. Concerned that the then newly opened Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham would exclude the masses of ordinary people involved in the movement, he prayed, and received his mission from God, to document the struggle in his own way. The installation is created by his home into the west side of Birmingham, Alabama.  29/07/2010 11th edition of the EUROPEAN DAY OF JEWISH CULTURE 05 September 2010 This year edition 26 European Countries taking part to the event.

This will be done by considering the differences and interactions between various forms of writing and by highlighting the relationship between types of thought and forms of communication in different cultural contexts (especially in Asia and Europe). In this case the conference will begin by looking at writing in its most suggestive material manifestation – calligraphy. In the European tradition, calligraphy makes use of abstract symbols which basically refer to phonetic expression. To a large extent this process is also found in the calligraphy of Islamic and Indian languages. In the Far East, on the other hand, calligraphy takes on a more material aspect, not so much because there is a strong visual component binding the written sign to an object or a concept, but because calligraphy and image are very often merged in both art and literature and especially in painting on religious themes.
