Арабское искусство приспосабливается к COVID-19

Этот обзор подготовлен Номаном Ахмедом по материалам газеты Arab Times.

Нынешний кризис внес радикальные изменения в повседневную жизнь людей, в том числе на арт-сцене. Арабские художники раскрывают свои творческие способности, чтобы повысить осведомленность о вспышке коронавируса, одновременно создавая содержательные связи и выражения.

Художница из Саудовской Аравии Лина Амер использовала свое искусство для документирования влияния COVID-19 на религиозные обряды миллионов людей во всем мире.

Саудовская Аравия закрыла мечети для обычных пяти ежедневных молитв, а также для собраний по пятницам. Художники же использовали религиозные истории для обозначения опасности рукопожатия.

Художники также продемонстрировали, как вспышка повлияла на общественные мероприятия и бросила вызов культурным нормам.

«Во-первых, я хотел выразить, что чувствуют невесты, чьи свадьбы были отложены или отменены из-за кризиса», - сказал один из художников.

«Он хочит утешить этих женщин, напомнив им, что жертвование их особого дня указывает на высокое чувство ответственности за здоровье общества».

Другие же художники использовали свои работы, чтобы выразить свою признательность работникам здравоохранения, например, бахрейнский художник и художественный руководитель Сайед Аль-Маджед.
