We are an organisation of Arab-European women who have set up an Oriental Institute for art and culture in Amsterdam. The philosophy is not only to show the beautiful side of the culture of the Oriental world (North Africa, Middle East, Turkey and Iran). But also to stimulate comprehension, cooperation and friendship between people no matter what age, culture or religion they may have. We wish to develop a secular centre which is aware of the past and focused on the future. A place where artistic freedom will allow for cultural expression of both the Oriental and European community.
Having created the first gallery at the Museumplein for the culture of the Oriental world.
Viewing of & debate about the movie Paradise Now regarding the relation between art and censure with Een ander Joods Geluid (a Jewish organization) and Rialto (movie theater).
In future: debates, workshops, lectures about artists in exile, eroticism, Iranian art et cetera.
