Within the exhibition on Abu Ghraib, the Berlin Biennale are struggling between decolonization, narcissism and a large dose of the messiah complex. As Martin Luther King stated; "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere #ignorance and conscientious #stupidity."
"I had not been told by the Biennale that my artwork would be close to Abu Ghraib images until I travelled to Berlin and saw it myself. It was a really painful scene" - Sajjad Abbas, Iraqi artist middleeasteye.net/news/berlin-bi…
Can photographs of torture victims at the Abu Ghraib prison, ever be considered to be works of #art? This question is being asked, after Iraqi #artists withdrew their work from #Germany's Berlin Biennale. Read more here: iraq-solidarity.blogspot.com/2022/08/iraq-a…
Did the #BerlinBiennale speak to anyone before showing their exhibition of torture at Abu Ghraib? The aims of dictatorship are forcing conformity and enforcing silence. “Stand up for what you believe in even if you are standing alone”. They could learn allot from Sophie Scholl.
The #BerlinBiennale whose goal was to offer "repair" neither held dialogue with the Iraqi artists, nor sort permission from the victims of these crimes. As Sahakian writes, "I should known better than to trust an art world that finds culture in our flesh."
How can the #BerlinBiennale have meaningful discussions with Iraqi artists on Abu Ghraib? Decolonization means talking as equals about the history of others and not conflating the end of history with never again! "There's no such thing as society" only "individual men and women."
The work of decolonization that both of these exhibitions claim to do can't be done until there are discussions, which in both cases have not been allowed to happen.
Are those who ignore history, destined to repeat it? In the apology from the #BerlinBiennale: they “underestimated the sensitivity of the situation" and also apologized "for failing to discuss the placement" of Abu Ghraib images, with both victims and the Iraqi artists present.
Re. the display of the Abu Ghraib photos at the Berlin Biennale - I got lots of thoughts on this, but the very idea that a French artist can initiate a process of 'repair' is in my opinion mind-boggling...
Is the #BerlinBiennale hiding behind a not-so-iron curtain within their artistic Green Zone? According to @artnews, the Poison Soluble is behind a curtain and includes a trigger warning, which urges viewers who have “experienced racial trauma or abuse” not to enter it.
Re. the display of the Abu Ghraib photos at the Berlin Biennale - I got lots of thoughts on this, but the very idea that a French artist can initiate a process of 'repair' is in my opinion mind-boggling...
What is missing from the #BerlinBiennale's exhibition on Abu Ghraib? In an exclusive interview with @MayadeenEnglish, Mohammed Belandian tells the world what he endured at one of the most notorious detention facilities under the US occupation of Iraq. english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/…
Can photographs of torture victims at the Abu Ghraib prison, ever be considered to be works of '#art'? This question is being asked, after #Iraqi artists withdrew their work from the #BerlinBiennale because of an installation of images, showing detainees at the notorious prison.

Anne's diary proves the pen is mightier than the sword. As @gillianwalnes1 wrote on 24/6/22 for @HistoryHit; "Malala Yousafzai cites #AnneFrank’s diary as her favourite book", while Nelson Mandela once described how "a copy of Anne's diary was smuggled into Robben Island prison."
Chris Frost of @AMARLondon told the @DailyMirror this week, the levels of #PTSD that Yazidis are suffering from, is something that “we in the West would struggle to understand” and the "infrastructure available to help them is just not sufficient." mirror.co.uk/news/world-new…
Back in 2014, ISIS conducted a campaign in #Iraq, targeting ethnic and religious minorities through murder, rape and the destruction of cultural property. In 2015, the @HolocaustMuseum determined ISIS had perpetrated genocide and crimes against humanity: ushmm.org/genocide-preve…
Touring @yadvashem in 2017, Nadia Murad spoke of being struck by the parallels between the Holocaust and what befell the Yazidi people at the hands of ISIS in Iraq. Education is key to preventing genocide, equaled only by learning how to record and commemorate atrocities.
