Panel this Wednesday: Multicultural Perspectives on Islam
You are warmly invited to attend a panel entitled 'Multicultural Perspectives on Islam', which will take place from 7-9pm this Wednesday, 21 July, in BH 006.
This event will include presentations on Islamic Philosophy (Eiyad al-Kutubi), Islam in South East Asia (Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo), Arabic Fann and Calligraphy (Bilal Maanaki), and Muslim Political Movements (Chris Anzalone).
Christopher Anzalone is a graduate student in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. His primary research interests are modern Muslim socio-political movements, Shi‘i Islam, radical Sunni Islamism, and political artwork in the Middle East and wider Muslim world. He has been fortunate to have been able to travel to Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Territories, and Israel.
Chris will give an overview of the militant jihadi-takfiri universe of Al-Qa'ida Central and its ideological and operational affiliates around the world, with a focus on their use of multimedia and visual aesthetics.
Bilal Maanaki was born in Beirut, Lebanon, attended the American University of Beirut and studied acting at the Lebanese University, Fine Arts Institute. He earned a Master's degree from the University of Michigan, and is currently finishing a double PhD in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures and Communication and Culture. He is president of the NELC Drama Club, a club dedicated to creating mini-plays and skits and translating drama.
The Arabic letter has an eminent place and role in the Arts (funun) of the Arab and wider Islamic worlds. Arabic calligraphy was and still is among the highest forms that evolved during centuries of practices and presentations. First, I will give a short introduction into the world of Arabic calligraphy and how it shaped and got shaped by other artistic expressions such as painting and sculpture. The lecture will be accompanied by slides and visual samples from countries such as Iraq, Turkey, and Syria.
Eiayd al-Kutubi is a graduate Ph.D student in the department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. He holds a MA in philosophy from Berkeley. His major interests include Islamic philosophy.
Eiayd will give a talk first about Greek Philosophy and its transmission into to the Muslim world. Next, he will discuss Muslim philosophers and their influence on medieval Europe. Finally, the discussion will conclude with a comparison of Muslim philosophy with modern western philosophy.
Mohammad Syifa Amin Widigdo is a Fulbright Scholar and PhD Student at Department of Religious Studies, Indiana University Bloomington. Interested in comparative ethics, Islamic philosophy, and medieval Islamic sciences.
Is it possible that the center of Islamic civilization moved from Middle East to Southeast Asian region? While Middle Eastern Islam is colored by ethno-political rivalries and socio-ideological conflicts, Islam in Southeast Asia offers us a new model of Islamic practices which based on the spirit of tolerance, of moderation, and of progress. There are historical and socio-cultural evidences supporting the idea that Southeast Asia, which is in fact the most populous Muslim region, can be a new center of Islamic civilization in the future.

Cathy Morris
Friday, July 16 at 6:30 p.m.
IU Art Museum, Sculpture Terrace
Cathy Morris
After a decade of focusing on all-original music, electric violinist Cathy Morris has begun her own interpretations of contemporary jazz songs spiced with Latin rhythms, some funk grooves, Cajun fun, and even a little romance. With her unique approach and a talented array of musicians, Cathy Morris will provide the audience with an unforgettable evening.
Jazz in July

Harmony and Rhythm: Works by Felrath Hines
Continuing through December 19, 2010
Gallery of the Art of the Western World, first floor
Felrath Hines (American, 1913-1993). Elevation, 1986. Oil on linen. Gift of the wife of the artist.
Featuring three paintings and three works on paper by abstract artist and Indiana native Felrath Hines (1918-1993), these recent acquisitions were gifts from the wife of the artist, Dorothy Fisher, in 2009. This installation is presented in conjunction with the museum's summer Jazz in July concert series.
Hines's paintings rely upon a universal language of geometric form and harmonic color. Yet their rhythmic musical quality is suggestive of the cadences of jazz, one of the great African American contributions to American culture, and one that defined the Indianapolis of Hines's childhood, when numerous jazz clubs sprang up in the city. Hines also may have been inspired by the jazz and classical music he often listened to while painting.
The Gallery of Art of the Western World will be open for special evening hours (5:00-8:30 p.m.) on Jazz in July Fridays so concert-goers can check out the Felrath Hines installation.
