Exposition de Mehdi-Georges Lahlou au Delta (Namur, Wallonie).
Je suis sensible à la lutte de cet artiste contre les stéréotypes ethniques, religieux et genrés ainsi qu'à son hommage, qu'il rend par le biais de fusains très noirs (si noirs qu'il faut être tout près, face à eux pour en distinguer des détails), aux Marocains morts, victimes de l'utilisation du gaz moutarde, pendant la guerre du Rif.
Dans les vidéos de l'exposition, l'artiste met en image les performeur-euse-s queers Diwe Augustin-Clave, Dr Lady J et CHIMI Nature en leur prêtant la mémoire des palmiers.
Exhibition of Mehdi-Georges Lahlou at Le Delta (Namur, Wallonia).
I am sensitive to this artist’s struggle against ethnic, religious, and gender stereotypes, as well as to the tribute he pays to Moroccans who died as victims of the use of mustard gas during the Rif War. This tribute takes the form of very dark charcoal drawings, so dark that one must stand very close, directly facing them, in order to make out any details.
In the exhibition’s videos, the artist gives visual form to the queer performers Diwe Augustin-Clave, Dr Lady J, and CHIMI Nature, entrusting them with the memory of palm trees.

HH Younus AlGohar explains the universal role of the Awaited Imam Mehdi/Messiah/Kalki Avatar Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi and reveals important information about the Antichrist and ISIS.
Main points:
- Every great religion has the concept of an awaited personality who will come towards the end times and strengthen their individual religions. Jews await the Messiah, Muslims await Imam Mehdi and Hindus await Kalki Avatar.
- Prophet Mohammad foretold signs preceding the arrival of Imam Mehdi. One important sign: the religion of Islam would be destroyed and the knowledge of the Quran would be lifted by God (meaning the correct understanding of the Quran would not be available).
- There have been many false claimants to the office of Imam Mehdi; it is ironic that Muslims do not know why Imam Mehdi is coming or how to recognise him. Imam Mehdi is not coming to convert everybody to Islam; Muslims should not expect this from Imam Mehdi when Prophet Mohammad himself did not do it.
- The problem with Muslims and all other nations today is that they have been deprived of the inner dimension of the religion. They have forgotten the existence of their soul. It is the knowledge of the soul that will purify you and connect you to God.
- According to Prophetic Traditions, the Antichrist will emerge from among Muslims. 70 000 Muslim scholars will pledge allegiance to him; many Muslims say that the Antichrist is a Jew, but if he was, why would 70 000 Muslim scholars pledge allegiance to him? Muslims must be aware: the Antichrist will claim to be Imam Mehdi. If you don’t know the role of Imam Mehdi in this world, you will never understand who Imam Mehdi is.
- There is no Prophetic Tradition or verse from the Quran that say Imam Mehdi will kill anyone. The way God has designed the persona of Imam Mehdi is like a universal spiritual master. He will represent love. Imam Mehdi will introduce the natural religion, the religion of the soul in which there is no worship or ritual.
- ISIS's brand of understanding does not represent the Quranic belief system; it is not the original Islam established by Prophet Mohammad. According to ISIS, only Wahhabis are pure Muslims. However, at the time of Prophet Mohammad, there were no Wahhabis, Shiites or Sunnis. Original Islam does not incite hatred for Jews or Christians.

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamaaraa jaane hai,
Jaane na jaane gul hi na jaane, baagh to saaraa jaane hai.
Aage us mutkabbar ke ham Khuda Khuda kiya karte hain,
Kab maujud Khuda ko woh maghrur khud-aara jaane hai.
Aashiq saa to saada koi aur na hoga dunya mein,
Ji ke zian ko ishq mein uske apna waara jaane hai.
Chaaraa gari beemari-e-dil ki rasm-e-shahr-e-husn nahin,
Warna dilbar-e-naadaan bhi is dard kaa chaara jaane hai.
Mehr-o-wafa-o-lutaf-o-inait, ek se waqif in mein nahin,
Aur to sab kuchh tanz-o-kanaya, ramz-o-ishara jaane hai.
Aashiq to murdah hai hamesha ji uthta hai dekhe use,
Yaar ke aa jaane ko yakaayak umr do baara jaane hai.
Tashna-e-khun hai apna kitna, Mir bhi naadaan, talkhi-kash,
Damdaar aab-e-tegh ko uske aab-e-gawara jaane hai
-Mir Taqi Mir
Mehdi Soltani Farshi been living 12 years in Frankfurt's Ostend on Sonnemannstrasse , about 50 meters in front of the new European Central Bank . He still remembers the old living quarters and the Great Market Hall , which stood in place of the ECB .
In his 1 bedroom apartment between the ECB and the new high-quality condominiums , for which he pays 500 euros Mehdi documented his life based on found objects , images , and pieces of paper closely described

And, a long due “Thank You”
As a student I have always wondered while reading history – do people realize it, when history is made? How do the conscious people feel the society around them? Do they recognize those folks who are living around them and creating history? Written history many-a-time recognizes only the official descriptions decided by those who can make orders to arrange those descriptions or those who can purchase the making of those descriptions. True history though, might continue being formed by many people who are simply unaware of what a huge work they are doing. Sometimes, seldom, a person is found – who glitters. Who gets noticed by the fellow people. And, those fellow people feels it. They feel it by their intuition that here is a person who is forming the history. They feel amazed!
Mehdi Hasan Khan is one such person.
Mehdi is a doctor by profession. Probably a brilliant one – his patients can tell that. He is a wonderful photographer. People who understands photography and seen his works might be willing to say that with a big applause. He is a brilliant software specialist – some people will probably not take even a moment to support it. He is probably a wonderful person. His friends will tell that. Some folks, including himself might also say that he is not an easy one. But there are a wide number of people who wanted to do a simple thing – write Bengali easily and intuitively using a personal computer or internet and found that it was Mehdi who ended their seemingly endless waiting to do this simple task. And it was free of any cost! To us, to these amazed ordinary people time is divided in two distinct lengths – one when we did not use Mehdi’s creation, and the other when we started using that wonderful software, Avro Keyboard for Bengali Typing. To us, Mehdi has made history. How big is this history? Time will reveal that, or, will not, as has happened many times before, and will happen many times in the future too. But I have got the answer to my childhood question. The feeling of understanding the fact that history is being made is pretty amazing; not because I am watching it, because I am a part of that history. We who are using Avro Keyboard are having a wonderful ride along with Mehdi.
Now we can write Bengali free over the internet! Awesome!
Thank you Mehdi! Thanks to your followers in OmicronLab who are still continuing with the free software and making it even stronger.
(My apologies for not writing it in Bengali. I chose English here so that it can be understood by those also who does not understand Bengali.)
HELP ME - I am kaleidoscoping and I can't stop.
