Middle East Art and Society

Middle Eastern Art and Society This is my feeling when I tried to understand art from nothing. The code of communication, the meaning that we understand the language is not clear. Art is a language, but it is an iconic language. I am trying to understand the reason and culture that produced this language. Our research plan was written a few months before leaving the course and focused on trying to understand the relationship between culture and art of Islamic countries. Islamic art which I repeated previously and proposed by Eva Bell is defined as follows. "Islamic art is not only the practice of Islam and the art of the scene but also the artist.

This may be a historical moment in Western European countries, but it seems that it has just started in the Middle East. "Art is used as an expression that enables people from the Middle East to express their ideology, culture, values, beliefs, people have the opportunity to reduce their emotions through art," Al Zaman I say.

In the past two decades, the artistic performance of the Middle East has revolutionized the resurrection. This increasingly dynamic movement of contemporary art in the Middle East is often caused at the intersection of political, social and military conflicts, or tradition and modernity. In this era of special discord with the Islamic world, this group regards contemporary art in Iran and the Middle East as spreading knowledge, "soft power" that can create creative connections between past, present and future I will. Promote cultural diplomacy through various platforms. In a relationship that can not be established in politics, art is becoming increasingly in contact with the government through artistic dialogue and communication. The group emphasizes expression diversity and aims to investigate the multifaceted and complicated development of contemporary art in Iran and the Middle East through its artists, influence and politics.

Liberal Arts University in the Middle East, especially the Arabian Gulf, has demonstrated that liberal arts education can successfully pass through various government and social models. Vice President of New York University, Abu Dhabi, Alfred Bloom, who brings liberal arts to the Middle East, writes, "I believe that liberal arts education can help transition to other environments, as people deal with complex issues, regardless of their sense of legitimacy, practical, political or moral , Prepare to develop a feeling of balance between conflicting elements.

Traditionally, the liberal arts model is not part of the education sector in the Middle East and North Africa. Baghdad University has offered a liberal arts course since the beginning of the 20th century, but despite its name, I have never offered education beyond high school. Effet University in Saudi Arabia is a female institution, a member of the Global Liberal Arts Alliance. However, the first liberal arts college in the Middle East is generally thought to be the Israeli Shaleem Institute founded in 2013.
