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.

Trump says Ukraine should give up land for peace as preparations start for US-Russia summit

U.S. President  Donald Trump said that the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine should be “cut up,” leaving most of it in Russian hands, to end a  war that has dragged on for nearly four years. Trump has edged back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia, in exchange for an end to the war. Following a phone call last week, the Russian and US leaders Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump announced they would meet in Budapest for talks on resolving the war in Ukraine, triggered by Moscow's all-out offensive in February 2022. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US counterpart Marco Rubio spoke on Monday 20 October to discuss preparations for the summit, and are expected to meet in person to finalise details. However, the Kremlin stated on Tuesday 21 October that there was "no precise time frame" for the summit even though Trump stated that the meeting with Putin could take place within two weeks.
