Taking Shape: Abstracts From The Arab World, 1950s-1980s at @NYUGrey is a must-see and needs time. I was able to see just half of it on Saturday and will be returning to complete it
Here’s one of the featured artists theguardian.com/artanddesign/2… #TakingShapeNYU
The curation is excellent. That’s why I haven’t finished seeing all the art. I had to read everything. e.g. an Egyptian Anarchist artist #TakingShapeNYU
So many favourites- for example #TakingShapeNYU
Also - I love the intersections that featured artists represent: this is a foundational artist of African modernism #TakingShapeNYU
Great to see Amazigh and Tamasight artists - Free Man! Read the curation #TakingShapeNYU
I went looking for #Egyptian abstract artists, especially Menhat Helmy. I found several! And I’m eager to return to complete the exhibit #TakingShapeNYU

I just heard this awful news: Lina was a vital and powerful feminist. I met her years ago and interviewed her in Tunis for a documentary I made with @gemmanewby for the BBC on women and the revolutions in our region. Rest in power, Lina. We will miss you.
Rest in power: Lina Ben Mhenni, activist who chronicled #Tunisia uprising, dies at 36 france24.com/en/20200127-li… via @FRANCE24
For the BBC documentary I made with Gemma, Lina told us this, which I also quote in Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution:

"freedom means all freedoms, including women's freedom, sexual freedom, individual freedom," @benmhennilina #Tunisia

Oh how rich that you talk of hypocrisy, Yasmine! You sent me this email a year ago and I ignored you because you’re a sell out to right wing racists. Keep licking those boots. Rita is fierce competition for you. Perhaps you can arm wrestle for the Brown Girl Bootlicker title
So @YasMohammedxx if I had “sold out to the Islamic patriarchy” and was a “follower of the world’s biggest patriarchy,” why did you write to me asking me to work with you?

Your bootlicking of right wing racists has ruined your credibility & ability to remember I have receipts.
And for those who think my ignoring @YasMohammedxx email was the reason for her now publicly hostile, tweets, this is her before the email. Publicly hostile + privately “work with me” = hypocrisy

1/ Outside of core supporters, few in the #Arab world will shed tears over the death of Qassem Soleimani, who in their view went from a hero of resistance to Israel to mastermind of ethno-sectarian cleansing + decade-long campaign of weakening, isolating, butchering Sunni Muslims
2/Soleimani had emerged, in many people’s minds, as both the mastermind and symbol of Iran’s alleged hegemonic ambitions in the #Arab world and the leader of yet another foreign occupation force on Arab lands. #QassemSoleimani #Iran
3/ Seeing the Iranian Soleimani appear in Damascus, on the frontlines in #Syria, #Iraq, and at the heart of #Baghdad, was a constant reminder of the decline of not only Syrian and Iraqi regional influence and national sovereignty- but the defeat of #Arab nationalism itself

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...
On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland
WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉

1/ Amid Twitter maybe getting rid of the "like" to promote "better dialog" and certainly giving safe haven to nazis and other extremists, a rant:
2/ You probably noticed how, people came forward to say that they'd reported the bomber for violent threats, and Twitter (as always) did nothing and (as always) now apologizes but (as always) won't say how they'll better handle. They won't, and I'll tell you one big reason why.
3/ to address complaints about threats and "improve the dialog" Twitter introduced the "quality filter." You see fewer threats and hate speech. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE'S LESS OF IT.
