From 16 - 27 November 2015, Art Jameel, Edge of Arabia and the Permanent Mission of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations are presenting OUR MOTHER’S HOUSE, a multi-component program at the UN Headquarters in New York dedicated to empowering female artists & safeguarding cultural heritage in southern Saudi Arabia.
OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE aims to draw attention to the urgent issue of cultural heritage protection and the equal representation of women in the Middle East. The launch of this program will include an art exhibition (16 - 27 November) of specially commissioned murals that celebrate the centuries-old tradition of house-painting by skilled female artisans from the village of Rijal Alma in southwestern Saudi Arabia; as well as a presentation to highlight Saudi Arabia's bid to recognize this historic village as an official UNESCO World Heritage site.
Organized in collaboration with multiple sectors of the United Nations, the program will launch with a reception and dedicated panel discussion organised by The Middle East Institute (Washington D.C.) highlighting the crucial role Asiri female artists have played in the composition and archiving of their local history. OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE celebrates the creativity and determination of artists who play an extraordinary role in preserving the cultural identity of their communities.
