Philadelphianism
My artwork has positively changed in my new community; I gained great experience from the projects I have been involved. I am willing to support this new experience academically by furthering my study and discovering the new elements and sharing with professionals. I select the active themes with a secure connection with the community, and the materials and techniques should be flexible to achieve my goals.
Why does creating space matter?
I suppose it's very important to provide a distinct educational, cultural, and social space and make it welcoming to the community, it is a unique goal for any artistic project. Â Â Â Â Â Â Sustainable educational and cultural development is more important than I imagine, especially when this place has a deep historical root with a link to the present to build a better future, which makes it distinctive and interesting to many.
The role of Al Mudhif project in the city of Philadelphia - Pennsylvania had an important impact that contributed to the process of transforming the project participants from mere recipients to be stakeholders, Ambassadors for the project through the sense of belonging that was achieved from the first day until the end of the construction phase and the start of educational, social, and cultural programs.
Al Mudhif Project in Philadelphia, which was implemented in 2021 - 2022, included the construction of Al Mudhif, which historically extends back to the Sumerian civilization in southern Iraq, from the historical reed material, which represents the first interaction between humans and the available material at the time. Benefiting at present, and after the completion of the construction process, artistic, cultural, and educational activities for different ages and races were launched. It was an important process to build bridges between societies through the inspiration and management of historical resources and the achievement of the sustainability aspect of the project.
