For photovoltaics to succeed they must move quickly from the lab bench to the factory floor.
The SPECIFIC project, led by Swansea Uni, with Tata Steel as one of the key partners, is developing a range of solar cell technologies and processing techniques that will allow high-efficiency thin-film photovoltaics to be manufactured at scale using earth-abundant, low cost materials.
They are also working to understand the stability and lifetime of these devices, by characterising their degradation mechanisms and finding ways to improve longevity.
They consider ourselves ‘technology agnostic’, which means that they work with the most promising photovoltaic technologies to find ways to manufacture them at scale.
Currently they have people working on four distinct technologies: perovskites, CZTS (copper, zinc, tin, sulphur), organic photovoltaics and dye sensitised solar cells.

Ambling out of Jaisalmer train station in late morning, we were immediately accosted by the throngs of drivers – mostly working for specific hotels – who were trying to pick us up. Since I’d booked a room at the Roop Mahal, this wasn’t an issue. It took a minute to find the guy, but he was there to drive us the whole 1-2 km to the hotel, which was at the base of the fort on the west side.
The biggest reason to come to Jaisalmer, the Golden City (since most places are primarily built of sandstone) is to see the fort, which is on a bit of a hill overlooking an otherwise flat desert. As it’s in the desert, the temperatures in the day, even in late September, were close to 40 degrees Celsius (a little over 100F).
According to Lonely Planet India, the fort was built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal and reinforced by subsequent rulers. It “was the focus of a number of battles between the Bhatis, the Mughals of Delhi and the Rathores of Jodhpur.”
Nowadays, it’s a living fort. Jaisalmer Fort has plenty of residents, restaurants, souvenir stands, havelis (old-style housing with ornate architecture: carved stone doorways, lattice screens, balconies, and turrets). The havelis are often hotels now, and almost every hotel here has a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the surrounding view. Our hotel, the Roop Mahal, also had a rooftop restaurant where I ate a few times. The food was…not great, but certainly not bad.
In addition to the havelis, there are also quite a few temples. Specifically, there are seven Jain temples (that you can tour for 150 rupees/15 RMB/$2.50USD). These temples were visually quite attractive inside – some more than others – and also had plenty of worshippers coming in and out. I was impressed by the intricacy of the details and sandstone carving, the intimacy of the art, and the way natural light was used in the temples. I don’t believe tripods were allowed inside the temple, which made a lot of shooting quite difficult, but not impossible. The only other rule is that you have to take your shoes off outside and pay someone (usually about 100 rupee) to “watch” your shoes.
After having a meal in the fort (and, excitedly, finding a spice shop where I bought the first of many Indian spices to bring back to China with me), my travel partner arranged for us to go out to the desert and ride camels. (The hotelier also offered something similar, but was a bit expensive.)
Later in the day, around 5:00, if I recall correctly, a guy came to pick us up at the hotel in a jeep and four of us – me, my travel partner, and two Israeli women – started our drive out to Sam, about 50 km west of Jaisalmer (and less than 100 km – maybe less than 50 – from the Pakistani border to the west).
En route, we had to make a few required stops (per our drivers). The first place was so forgettable that I can’t even recall the name of it or what it was. The second place was just to see a small village (really, two buildings) and a whole lot of kids running up to you begging for money in exchange for pictures.
After that, we finally made it out to the desert, where we rode camels for about half an hour and then stopped at a rather random place where we were eventually given a home-cooked Indian meal, vegetarian, that consisted of dal, naan, and a few curries. It was delicious, and had to be eaten completely in Indian style (no utensils of any kind).
While watching the sunset and the subsequent moonrise, we eventually bade our Israeli friends farewell (as they were spending the night in the desert) and headed back to town. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of a late night cricket match, and it was the only time during this trip I’d see that. When we got back to the hotel, we just needed to wait there for an hour or two before they were kind enough to drive us to the train station around 11:00 p.m. so we could catch our midnight train to Jodhpur…the Blue City.

Etnik/ Explosion
Installazione site-specific
A cura di Alessandra Ioalé
dal 2 al 31 luglio 2012
Firenze, Libreria Brac
Via de’ Vagellai 18r
Orari: da lunedì a sabato 11.30-24; domenica chiuso
Installazione site-specific ideata dall’artista Etnik per la libreria La Brac di Firenze. L’installazione è la realizzazione tridimensionale di una delle sue metafore critiche sugli agglomerati urbani, che caratterizzano le grigie periferie cittadine, elaborando il concetto di "gabbia urbana" in cui l'uomo è intrappolato.
Masse geometriche s’intersecano violentemente su piani opposti e punti di vista spiazzanti per rappresentare un cemento sempre più costrittivo e un equilibrio sempre più precario nella vita quotidiana di ognuno di noi. Costellazioni di linee sospese e fluttuanti in uno spazio indefinito in cui possiamo riconoscervi spaccati di linee metropolitane intrecciate ai profili delle grandi costruzioni di periferia, caratterizzati della massiccia presenza industriale; o l’intersezione di sagome di classiche costruzioni storiche, quali campanili e abitazioni rurali, alle tipiche dei cantieri edili. È l’elaborazione del concetto di “gabbia urbana” in cui l’uomo è intrappolato, attraverso l’esplorazione dell’incastro architettonico delle diverse strutture fortemente caratterizzanti le aree urbane periferiche. Cosa succede se una di queste micro-costellazioni conquistasse la terza dimensione, librandosi realmente nello spazio? In una sorta di dialogo, che Etnik intesse con gli spazi della libreria La Brac, luogo deputato al ristoro e alla lettura, l’opera site-specific “Explosion” ci permette di scoprire le suggestioni e le emozioni provocate ai giovani avventori, intenti a leggere o a gustarsi un buon pasto, che ne divengono osservatori dal basso. Il nucleo attorno a cui si sviluppa tutta l’installazione, studiata e realizzata ad hoc per lo spazio, è la scultura “Cubo”, da cui si sprigiona tutta una serie di elementi. Come nel sistema solare, Cubo rappresenta il pianeta attorno a cui ruotano, come satelliti, frammenti di specchio che, da angolature differenti, ne rimandano continuamente l’immagine riflessa, e parallelepipedi che, come piccole parti del tutto, ne ripropongono in sé alcuni elementi caratteristici ingranditi, portando alla luce ciò che costituisce e realizza l’incastro urbano.
Dopo vent’anni passati a dipingere spazi urbani di periferia e a cercarne di nuovi, Etnik inizia a riflettere molto sul concetto di “città”, scorgendone un nuovo punto di vista, assai diverso dal resto della cittadinanza, fino a farne soggetto principale di studio, aprendosi così al disegno, alla pittura e alla scultura in generale. Parallelamente alla creazione di murales infatti, Etnik porta avanti una personale ricerca artistica che nel 2003 vede la luce sotto il nome di “Città prospettiche”, di cui la scultura “Cubo” ne è la traduzione tridimensionale. Nel caso specifico, il concetto di città come “gabbia urbana” subisce un processo interpretativo diverso, sia nella trasposizione scultorea che in quella installativa, trovando maggior spettacolarità e arditezza. Non a caso l’installazione reca in sé due livelli interpretativi complementari: il primo risiede nel gioco ridondante di rimandi d’immagini riflesse e di particolari ingranditi della struttura, operando un’analisi ancora più profonda del punto di vista dell’artista sulla città e le parti di cui si compone; un secondo livello di lettura è da riconoscersi nel concetto di città nella città, dove il piccolo agglomerato urbano, “Cubo”, è inglobato nella magica atmosfera della piccola realtà della libreria, un’oasi ricavata a sua volta proprio nel cuore della città di Firenze in cui l’artista mette in atto la sua ironica e personale critica dietro cui si sottende il rapporto conflittuale che intrattiene con la città stessa, accentuando così la carica concettuale del messaggio primario dell’opera.
In a site-specific installation, Artistic Bokeh presents a collaboration with Georgios Papadopoulos (GR) and Société Réaliste (FR) thematizing the symbolic value of artistic production and its subordination by the valuation of markets.
"There is never enough money, especially for cultural production; but also too much since money and market tend to impose their interpretation of artistic and cultural value. The system of prices organizes an order of meaning, where taste, subjectivity and community are reconfigured according to the mandates and the geopolitics of the market. In this hostile environment, the artist needs to create new possibilities of independence at the same time as she has to survive and thrive, despite the exploitative conditions of employment that more often than not define artistic work. Too Much Money is not the solution. but a tiny a reminder of the poverty of the artist in a system that celebrates (and profits from) the value of art."
(Text: G.Papadopoulos)
A lecture-performance of C.Lisecki / G.Papadopoulos will mark the opening on Thursday, February 27, accompanied by the film screening of "Art Accounts Deutsche Bank (2013)" by Carsten Lisecki.
“Associated” is a site specific show in a severely damaged brownstone, currently with a Vacate Order, issued by the DOB. As you may recall, the huge fire on Nov 12th 2010 at the Associated Supermarket on 5th Avenue and 17th Street not only damaged the supermarket building including the Open Source Gallery, but also a brownstone next door. The 3 family house, the Gallery owners’ home, was also rendered uninhabitable by the blaze.
There is no exact date for the show. There will be a 2 week window when the Vacate Order will be dropped and the contractors will start their work. All participating artists are prepared to install their work any day within the next month.

Preparatory Drawing for HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE
1971
Pencil on brown paper
12 1/2" x 18"
Homage to Paul Apostle is the first part of THE NARCISSUS PENTOLOGY which consists of:
HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE
VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography
GLIMPSES OF THE QUEEN, 21 Studies for a Portrait of B.T. In the Form of a Triangle
SANCTUARY, Autobiography of a Studio Bench
CURIA, Nine Sectioned Lay-Ins With Predella
Each of the five parts of THE NARCISSUS PENTOLOGY addresses itself to a particular view of the artist: HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE, in the form of a square, is a self-portrait as seen through the eyes of another; VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography, in the form of a rectangle, is how he sees himself; GLIMPSES OF THE QUEEN, 21 Studies for a Portrait of B.T. in the Form of a Triangle is how he sees another; SANCTUARY, Autobiography of a Studio Bench, in the form of a circle, is how he sees his work; and CURIA, Nine Sectioned Lay-Ins With Predella, in the form of a line, is how he sees those who have created him.
The name, HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE, does not refer to Paul the Apostle but to an individual who was an avid collector of the work of Robert Cremean. This apparent avidity led him to amass a sizable collection of the artist’s sculpture, drawings, lithographs and published books. But it was not so much that he collected but how he did so. He seemed to appreciate the work to such an extent that he purchased numerous pieces from the artist’s gallery on time payments and continued doing so even during such periods when he was unemployed and living on a modest benefit, a portion of those monies assiduously set aside for such purchase. He displayed his collection in whatever place he then called home, whether a lavish house in the Hollywood hills in times of prosperity or a small apartment on the flatlands below during times more spartan. And, in the latter, he displayed the work wherever possible: on the floor, on the walls and even suspended from the ceiling. During a period of nearly twenty years, he continued to collect and always was articulate both in his praise and in his criticism of the work, never missing a gallery or museum exhibition opening, never failing subsequently to attend each repeatedly. Devotedly, he wrote many letters to the artist in which he expressed his thoughts about the work and of whatever literary reviews that appeared in print. He was both analytical and praiseful of the work as well as brutally frank about any aspect of it he viewed with suspicion or disdain, at times annoying the artist to distraction.
For all of these reasons, Robert Cremean decided to pay homage to the collector with a work in which he chose to portray himself, within the NARCISSUS PENTOLOGY, as he saw himself through the eyes of another and recording in three dimensional form actual and intellectual change and development...and diminishment, from the physical glory of youth through inevitable physical maturing and aging, to the ultimate abstraction of intellectual and artistic maturity.
HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE was carved from four blocks of marble, each 35½" x 15¾" x 15¾", all sides polished, cut from a large chunk selected by the artist in a quarry in Massa Carrara, Italy. For ten months, after having completed a series of preparatory drawings for it, he worked on the sculpture—mallet, chisels, various rasps and sandpaper his only tools. He was virtually cut off from any intercourse other than with his own thoughts and ideas and with the marble. It was the intention of the artist that ultimately each of the four torsos would be permanently affixed to polished blocks of pietra serena, the native grey stone of Tuscany, each block the same dimension as the marbles. These six foot tall monoliths would then be set at the corners of a floor of polished pink Portuguese marble tiles for an over-all floor dimension of thirteen feet by thirteen feet.

In the heart of Vienna lies the abbey of Our Lady to the Scots, the habitat of Benedictine monks who know themselves addressed by this sentence from the book of Psalms in person.
By the aim of the search for God and by the concrete form of life the monks are associated with the many Benedictine monks and Benedictine nuns all over the world. In addition, they know themselves in solidarity with all people of good will, like them, seeking true life.
Schottenstift - © Schottenstift
Following the Benedictine rules, the monastery but provides also very specific services. In the spirit of Benedictine hospitality the Schottenstift offers »monastery for a limited time", in the as a bed and breakfast run Benediktushaus guests from all over the world are welcome. The pastoral and spiritual care are just as much part of everyday life of the members of the Convention as the teaching in the traditional Scots high school and youth work in the basement. In the spirited Scots parish a lively cultural activity can unfold.
History of the Schottenstift
Duke Henry II Jasomirgott made Vienna the residence of Babenbergerreiches (Kingdom of the Babenberg). To emphasize the importance of the new capital, he convened in 1155 iroschottische (Irish-Scottish) monks from the St. Jakob monastery in Regensburg to Vienna. The new foundation in the first place should be a place of prayer, but then also a place where pilgrims and guests could find admission, a refuge for asylum seekers (the name "Freyung" still today reminds of that) and a center of cultural life.
Scots Church - © S. Gaube, Citype Scots Church - © S. Gaube, Citype
In the years from 1160 to 1200 outside the former city limits arose a mighty Romanesque church, which was a lot bigger than today's church, and the eastern part of the Roman church reached about 25 meters beyond the east wall of the present house of worship. In 1200, the church and convent were consecrated by the Bishop of Passau Wolfger von Ellenbrechtskirchen. Already in 1276 much of this troublesome erected complex fell victim to a fire. Earthquakes in the years 1348 and 1443 again left traces of destruction. In the mid-15th Century thus arose a new monastery.
Scots Church - © S. Gaube, Citype
In 1418 the era of Irish-Scottish monks ended, since in the course of the Melker Reform they were encouraged also to integrate locals into their ranks because junior staff more and more became sparse. The Iroschotten but prefered to return to their mother abbey in Regensburg. The name "Scots" but remained to this day.
Schottenstift Deed - © Schottenstift
Deed of Foundation
The fundamental redesign of Scots Abbey falls in the 17th and 18th Century. 1648, the present church was completed, in the following decades the monastery complex was changed from its very foundations.
Decisive role in these buildings had Abbot Carl Fetzer (1705-1750). Today's "Schottenhof (Court)" under abbot Andreas Wenzel (1807-1831) by the architect Josef Kornhäusel was classicist redesigned. The intensive study of science and close ties to the in 1365 founded University of Vienna resulted yet in the times of irish-scottish monks in the emergence of a first library. Although from those roots today almost nothing remains, the number of medieval manuscripts and incunabula in the following centuries grew. In this regard, wrote Albert P. Huebl (1867-1931) all currently valid printed catalogs. During the reorganization of the monastery, a new library hall was built under Abbot Andreas Wenzel for printed books, whose current division Vincent P. Knauer (1828-1894) had created. Under his leadership, a handwritten nominal catalog of books was created in 1883.
In 1807 on the request of the emperor it came to the foundation of the "Schottengymnasium" which took up the old school tradition of the house on the Freyung and should it continue. The prestigious school has become a main area of work of the monks. Concerning the building structure, the two world wars the Schottenstift on the whole has survived intact, for the Convention itself they entailed great damage, be it the economic troubles after the first world war or the great human bloodletting in the years 1939 to 1945. Numerous brothers fell in the war or did not return, the gates of the school remained closed from 1938 to 1945. The Second Vatican Council for the Scots Abbey, too, entailed the profound reflection upon the peculiarities of the monastic life and the tasks, which a Benedictine community in the world of today should and can shoulder.

Important art dating back several centuries
The Vienna Schottenstift on Freyung is among the most important Benedictine monasteries in Austria. Yet in the 15th Century, the Abbey of the Scots developed into a center of the Vienna spiritual and city life. Not coincidentally shows the Scots masters altar the first topographically correct view of the city of Vienna. The reign of Barockabtes (Baroque abbot) Carl Fetzer (1705-1750) was an economic and cultural heyday. The 1826-1832 by Josef Kornhäusel designed Prelature now houses the "Museum in the Abbey of the Scots". In addition to an extensive collection of paintings, furniture, tapestries, vestments and liturgical utensils and vestments, it shows an impressive documentation of the monastery history.

The high altar of the original Gothic collegiate church was removed about 1640. Today, the altar of the "Wiener Scots Master (Schottenmeister)", originating from 1469 to 1480, is a masterpiece of late Gothic painting in Austria and the center of the museum in Schottenstift. History, development process, workshop operations, among others, illustrates an informative documentary, which complement the successor works to Flemish painting of the 17th Century by Josse de Momper the Younger and David Vinckboons.
In Schottenstift the Interested visitor finds in addition to major religious paintings (among others by Peter Paul Rubens, Jan Cossiers and Giovanni Battista Pittoni), portrait and landscape painting of the 17th and 18th Century (eg by Johann Christian Brand, Christian Seybold, Christoph Paudiss and Simon de Vos) and Vienna Biedermeier painting by Johann Baptist Drechsler, Johann Knapp, Thomas Ender and Johann Peter Krafft. Works of the Dutch and Austrian still life painting of the 17th and 18th Century complement the valuable private collection. The large-sized former Baroque high altar painting by Joachim von Sandrart »The heavenly glory" (1671) in Prälatensaal is, like the lecture hall with works of Austrian baroque painters, as Peter Paul Strudel and Tobias Pock, integrated into the museum complex.

Alla luce degli ultimi risvolti giudiziari e dopo aver acceso i riflettori sulla vicenda dell'Atleta di Fano di Lisippo, la statua in bronzo datata tra il IV e il Il secolo a.C., il capolavoro trafugato nell'Adriatico e venduto illegalmente al Getty Museum quarant'anni fa, "Petrolio - Ladri di bellezza" torna ad occuparsi del traffico di reperti archeologici, ricostruendo la rete capillare di contatti, rapporti, scambi di denaro che ha generato il quarto mercato illecito del mondo.

COME PREVISTO DALLA POLICY DEL GRANDE MUSEO LOSANGELINO, CHE OBBLIGA AL RIMPATRIO DELLE OPERE SOTTRATTE ILLEGALMENTE, ORFEO E LE SIRENE TORNERANNO A SETTEMBRE 2022 A ROMA, SEGUITI DA ALTRI MANUFATTI IN UN SECONDO MOMENTO.

Un momento storico per le restituzioni, e per l’Italia. Il J. Paul Getty Museum di Los Angeles ha annunciato oggi che restituirà al Paese il Gruppo scultoreo di un Poeta Seduto e Sirene, un gruppo di figure in terracotta a grandezza naturale della seconda metà del IV secolo a.C. proveniente dalla colonia magnogreca di Taranto, noto anche come Orfeo e le Sirene. Il museo statunitense starebbe inoltre collaborando con il Ministero della Cultura per organizzare la restituzione di altri quattro manufatti, a data da destinarsi. Il gigantesco museo a capo dell’omonimo centro per le arti ha già rimosso i manufatti dal percorso di visita in preparazione per il trasporto a Roma a settembre (peraltro molto difficile, vista la fragilità delle sculture), dove saranno affidati al Ministero della Cultura.

IL GRUPPO SCULTOREO ORFEO E LE SIRENE
La restituzione non è per l’Italia una vera e propria sorpresa, dato che già all’inizio del 2006 l’opera compariva in un elenco di manufatti di cui si rivendicava il possesso e si chiedeva la restituzione. Stando alla commissione permanente in Senato su Istruzione pubblica, beni culturali, ricerca scientifica, spettacolo e sport riunitasi nell’agosto 2020, “il bene, databile secondo la maggior parte degli studiosi nell’ambito della seconda metà del IV secolo a.C., si compone di tre statue, originariamente policrome: due figure femminili stanti (140 per 55 centimetri circa), riconoscibili come sirene in base alla conformazione ornitomorfa della parte inferiore del corpo, e una figura maschile seduta, vestita del solo mantello, variamente identificata come poeta, come Orfeo o semplicemente come un defunto del quale poteva costituire parte del monumento sepolcrale.

La figura maschile impugna con la mano destra un oggetto allungato, probabilmente il manico di un plektron, secondo l’interpretazione di Bottini e Guzzo, che ipotizzano nell’altra mano l’originaria presenza di uno strumento a corda. L’opera è riconducibile con certezza al patrimonio culturale italiano e proviene probabilmente dal territorio tarantino”. Lo stesso Getty Trust, si legge ancora nel verbale del Senato, aveva sottoscritto nel 2007 una convenzione con l’allora Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali che aveva permesso il rientro in Italia di molti beni preziosi e che stabiliva l’impegno del Ministero a “interpellare previamente il Getty Trust prima di procedere al recupero di beni archeologici dei quali sia acquisita la prova della provenienza da scavo clandestino e/o oggetto di esportazione illegittima dall’Italia di beni archeologici presenti nelle collezioni del Getty Trust

LA POLICY DI RESTITUZIONE DEL GETTY MUSEUM DEI MANUFATTI SOTTRATTI ILLECITAMENTE
Il Getty – un’istituzione di livello globale con una enorme collezione che va dalle opere greche alle fotografie del Novecento – ha adempiuto così alla propria policy di restituzione dei manufatti al Paese d’origine, obbligatoria nel caso in cui vi siano informazioni affidabili a indicare che siano stati rubati o scavati illegalmente. “Grazie alle informazioni fornite da Matthew Bogdanos e dall’Unità per il traffico di antichità dell’ufficio del procuratore distrettuale di Manhattan che indicano lo scavo illegale di Orfeo e delle sirene, abbiamo deciso che questi oggetti dovrebbero essere restituiti”, hanno dichiarato i direttori Timothy Potts, Maria Hummer-Tuttle e Robert Tuttle.

Ma non finisce qui: secondo ricercatori dell’istituzione e studiosi indipendenti, bisognerà restituire anche una colossale testa in marmo di una divinità del II secolo d.C.; uno stampo in pietra del II secolo d.C. per la fusione di pendenti; un dipinto a olio intitolato Oracolo a Delfi (1881) di Camillo Miola; e un thymiaterion in bronzo etrusco del IV secolo a.C. I primi tre di questi oggetti furono acquisiti dal fondatore J. Paul Getty e dal Getty Museum negli anni ’70, il quarto nel 1996, e nessuno di loro è più stato esposto al pubblico negli ultimi anni. “Apprezziamo il nostro forte e fruttuoso rapporto con il Ministero della Cultura italiano e con i nostri numerosi colleghi archeologi, conservatori, curatoriali e altri studiosi in tutta Italia, con i quali condividiamo la missione di promuovere la conservazione del patrimonio culturale antico“, ha affermato il direttore Potts.

4). ITALIA / USA - Getty to return illegally excavated Orpheus sculptures, some great antiquities, to Italy. The Los Angele Times, USA (11 Aug., 2022).
The J. Paul Getty Museum is returning its Orpheus group of sculptures — a culturally significant group of nearly life-size terra-cotta figures known as “Orpheus and the Sirens,” some of the museum’s greatest antiquities — to Italy. The objects, which have been determined to have been illegally excavated and exported, will be sent to Rome in September. The institution is coordinating with Italy’s Ministry of Culture to send four other objects back as well at a future date.

“The Getty is not in a position to comment on information that led to the return of the Orpheus,” spokesperson Julie Jaskol said. “The information was supplied by Matthew Bogdanos of the Antiquities Trafficking Unit of the Manhattan district attorney’s office, who developed the evidence in an investigation unrelated to the Getty. The evidence persuaded us that the statues had been illegally excavated and it was appropriate to return them in accordance with Getty policy.”

In his diary, which is part of the Getty’s archives, an entry from Saturday, March 6, 1976, notes that he “bought the following objects” including “a group of 3 Greek statues made in Tarentum at the end of the 4th C.B.C.

They represent a singer Orpheus seated and 2 standing sirens. $550,000 from Bank Leu. All of these naturally were on [Czech American archaeologist Jiří Frel’s] recommendation.” Frel was the Getty’s antiquities curator from 1973 to 1986.

The Orpheus group of sculptures is an incredibly important work to the Getty. It has been on view, in a ground floor gallery at the Getty Villa, since it was acquired more than four decades ago.

“It is a very important work. I’d even say one of the most important in the [Getty Museum’s] collection,” Getty Museum director Timothy Potts said in an interview. “So it will be a loss as to what we can represent about the art of the ancient classical world, in this case southern Italy in the late fourth century B.C.”

Potts said the work is especially unique because of its scale, quality and subject matter — it suggests the mythical story of Jason and the Argonauts, which would make the sculpture’s seated man, who plays a harp-like instrument, Orpheus.

“It’s just extremely rare and there’s nothing similar in our collection, or closely similar in any collection,” Potts said. “It does leave a hole in our gallery but with this evidence that came forth, there was no question that it needed to be sent back to Italy.”

“We value our strong and fruitful relationship with the Italian Ministry of Culture and with our many archaeological, conservation, curatorial, and other scholarly colleagues throughout Italy, with whom we share a mission to advance the preservation of ancient cultural heritage,” Potts said in a statement.

The other pieces being returned to Italy — none of which have been exhibited in recent years — are a colossal marble head of a divinity and a limestone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century A.D., along with a 19th century oil painting by Camillo Miola, “The Oracle,” and an Etruscan bronze thymiaterion, a ceremonial incense burner, from the fourth century B.C. The latter was acquired by the Getty in 1996 while the other three objects were acquired in the 1970s.

The specific identity of the sitters in this, Titian’s largest group portrait, is disputed, but the man in the centre is most likely Andrea Vendramin (1481–1547), while the one on his right is his brother Gabriel Vendramin (1484–1552), a significant collector of works of art. The boys are the former’s seven sons. The reliquary of the True Cross on the altar still exists in the Scuola di S. Giovanni Evangelista in Venice. It was presented to an earlier Andrea Vendramin, Guardian of the Scuola, on behalf of this confraternity in 1369. On one occasion he is said to have rescued it from a canal.
The painting was surely made for a specific site in the family’s Venetian palazzo. During execution, however, it was cut down on the left, probably because the patron changed the intended location. This accounts for the slightly awkward accommodation of the three boys at far left, who were surely painted by the artist's workshop. The two boys on the far right were probably also painted by an assistant: they are markedly drier of execution than the freely and luminously painted boy holding a puppy. Parts of the paint surface have become transparent with time, revealing to the naked eye Titian’s vigorous preparatory underdrawing of Gabriele.

I was looking at the country specific menus and in Poland they have kielbasa. However, kielbasa in Polish just means “sausage”, not the standard ring found in the US. So that could mean anything.
Spain seems to have a good many pizzas with bacon, including a bacon cheeseburger pizza. Chile offers garlic fries and empanadas (though they look like McDonald’s apple pies).
Portugal … well I don’t read enough Portuguese to figure it out … but they do have Funky chicken pizza (is that a good thing?) and Funny bacon (again, good thing?). There is also stromboli.

After those main countries, to me it is a little unclear where else they might be. There’s a similar name, but with a space, in Europe – Tele Pizza. However, the colors and logos are different, so it may be another company.

“Associated” is a site specific show in a severely damaged brownstone, currently with a Vacate Order, issued by the DOB. As you may recall, the huge fire on Nov 12th 2010 at the Associated Supermarket on 5th Avenue and 17th Street not only damaged the supermarket building including the Open Source Gallery, but also a brownstone next door. The 3 family house, the Gallery owners’ home, was also rendered uninhabitable by the blaze.
There is no exact date for the show. There will be a 2 week window when the Vacate Order will be dropped and the contractors will start their work. All participating artists are prepared to install their work any day within the next month.

Ambling out of Jaisalmer train station in late morning, we were immediately accosted by the throngs of drivers – mostly working for specific hotels – who were trying to pick us up. Since I’d booked a room at the Roop Mahal, this wasn’t an issue. It took a minute to find the guy, but he was there to drive us the whole 1-2 km to the hotel, which was at the base of the fort on the west side.
The biggest reason to come to Jaisalmer, the Golden City (since most places are primarily built of sandstone) is to see the fort, which is on a bit of a hill overlooking an otherwise flat desert. As it’s in the desert, the temperatures in the day, even in late September, were close to 40 degrees Celsius (a little over 100F).
According to Lonely Planet India, the fort was built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal and reinforced by subsequent rulers. It “was the focus of a number of battles between the Bhatis, the Mughals of Delhi and the Rathores of Jodhpur.”
Nowadays, it’s a living fort. Jaisalmer Fort has plenty of residents, restaurants, souvenir stands, havelis (old-style housing with ornate architecture: carved stone doorways, lattice screens, balconies, and turrets). The havelis are often hotels now, and almost every hotel here has a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the surrounding view. Our hotel, the Roop Mahal, also had a rooftop restaurant where I ate a few times. The food was…not great, but certainly not bad.
In addition to the havelis, there are also quite a few temples. Specifically, there are seven Jain temples (that you can tour for 150 rupees/15 RMB/$2.50USD). These temples were visually quite attractive inside – some more than others – and also had plenty of worshippers coming in and out. I was impressed by the intricacy of the details and sandstone carving, the intimacy of the art, and the way natural light was used in the temples. I don’t believe tripods were allowed inside the temple, which made a lot of shooting quite difficult, but not impossible. The only other rule is that you have to take your shoes off outside and pay someone (usually about 100 rupee) to “watch” your shoes.
After having a meal in the fort (and, excitedly, finding a spice shop where I bought the first of many Indian spices to bring back to China with me), my travel partner arranged for us to go out to the desert and ride camels. (The hotelier also offered something similar, but was a bit expensive.)
Later in the day, around 5:00, if I recall correctly, a guy came to pick us up at the hotel in a jeep and four of us – me, my travel partner, and two Israeli women – started our drive out to Sam, about 50 km west of Jaisalmer (and less than 100 km – maybe less than 50 – from the Pakistani border to the west).
En route, we had to make a few required stops (per our drivers). The first place was so forgettable that I can’t even recall the name of it or what it was. The second place was just to see a small village (really, two buildings) and a whole lot of kids running up to you begging for money in exchange for pictures.
After that, we finally made it out to the desert, where we rode camels for about half an hour and then stopped at a rather random place where we were eventually given a home-cooked Indian meal, vegetarian, that consisted of dal, naan, and a few curries. It was delicious, and had to be eaten completely in Indian style (no utensils of any kind).
While watching the sunset and the subsequent moonrise, we eventually bade our Israeli friends farewell (as they were spending the night in the desert) and headed back to town. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of a late night cricket match, and it was the only time during this trip I’d see that. When we got back to the hotel, we just needed to wait there for an hour or two before they were kind enough to drive us to the train station around 11:00 p.m. so we could catch our midnight train to Jodhpur…the Blue City.
Design Thinking uses concepts as creative leverage by first highlighting specific examples that are classified before we put them through a process of abstraction (by becoming aware of their similarities) that results in a concept, which in turn allows us to recognize new examples that are in the same class.

Ambling out of Jaisalmer train station in late morning, we were immediately accosted by the throngs of drivers – mostly working for specific hotels – who were trying to pick us up. Since I’d booked a room at the Roop Mahal, this wasn’t an issue. It took a minute to find the guy, but he was there to drive us the whole 1-2 km to the hotel, which was at the base of the fort on the west side.
The biggest reason to come to Jaisalmer, the Golden City (since most places are primarily built of sandstone) is to see the fort, which is on a bit of a hill overlooking an otherwise flat desert. As it’s in the desert, the temperatures in the day, even in late September, were close to 40 degrees Celsius (a little over 100F).
According to Lonely Planet India, the fort was built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal and reinforced by subsequent rulers. It “was the focus of a number of battles between the Bhatis, the Mughals of Delhi and the Rathores of Jodhpur.”
Nowadays, it’s a living fort. Jaisalmer Fort has plenty of residents, restaurants, souvenir stands, havelis (old-style housing with ornate architecture: carved stone doorways, lattice screens, balconies, and turrets). The havelis are often hotels now, and almost every hotel here has a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the surrounding view. Our hotel, the Roop Mahal, also had a rooftop restaurant where I ate a few times. The food was…not great, but certainly not bad.
In addition to the havelis, there are also quite a few temples. Specifically, there are seven Jain temples (that you can tour for 150 rupees/15 RMB/$2.50USD). These temples were visually quite attractive inside – some more than others – and also had plenty of worshippers coming in and out. I was impressed by the intricacy of the details and sandstone carving, the intimacy of the art, and the way natural light was used in the temples. I don’t believe tripods were allowed inside the temple, which made a lot of shooting quite difficult, but not impossible. The only other rule is that you have to take your shoes off outside and pay someone (usually about 100 rupee) to “watch” your shoes.
After having a meal in the fort (and, excitedly, finding a spice shop where I bought the first of many Indian spices to bring back to China with me), my travel partner arranged for us to go out to the desert and ride camels. (The hotelier also offered something similar, but was a bit expensive.)
Later in the day, around 5:00, if I recall correctly, a guy came to pick us up at the hotel in a jeep and four of us – me, my travel partner, and two Israeli women – started our drive out to Sam, about 50 km west of Jaisalmer (and less than 100 km – maybe less than 50 – from the Pakistani border to the west).
En route, we had to make a few required stops (per our drivers). The first place was so forgettable that I can’t even recall the name of it or what it was. The second place was just to see a small village (really, two buildings) and a whole lot of kids running up to you begging for money in exchange for pictures.
After that, we finally made it out to the desert, where we rode camels for about half an hour and then stopped at a rather random place where we were eventually given a home-cooked Indian meal, vegetarian, that consisted of dal, naan, and a few curries. It was delicious, and had to be eaten completely in Indian style (no utensils of any kind).
While watching the sunset and the subsequent moonrise, we eventually bade our Israeli friends farewell (as they were spending the night in the desert) and headed back to town. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of a late night cricket match, and it was the only time during this trip I’d see that.

We used a novel transgenic mouse (TRAP line, Guenthner et al. 2013) that allows for the specific tagging of the neurons activated at a precise time. We made this mouse re-experience a specific memory and captured the neurons active at this very moment by making them express a fluorescent protein (tdTomato), so that we could image them later. We then made the brain fully transparent (CLARITY, Lee et al. 2016) and imaged its hippocampus by light sheet microscopy (Zeiss). Volume imaged: 2X2X2 mm. 3D processing and pseudo-coloring was done with Imaris.
The imaging of structures located deep inside the brain normally requires cutting it into very thin slices. However, with a revolutionary technique called CLARITY combined with light sheet microscopy, we can now make an intact brain fully transparent and image the whole tissue preserving its morphology. I used this trick to detect memory neurons throughout an area called dentate girus inside the mouse hippocampus. This part of the brain is the one creating new memories and storing them. With this revolutionary technique, we are now analyzing how neurons storing a specific memory connect to each other and how these connections change when memories are strengthened or attenuated. This will help us understand the neural mechanism of pathological forms of memory such as post-traumatic stress disorder, where traumatic memories are too strong, or Alzheimer’s disease, where memory is lost. ¦ Image#4_59
The rear of the T-shirt says: "Supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual & trans homeless young people".
That's a very specific target of people to support.
Presumably he is a Street Fundraiser, or Chugger "Charity Mugger" (if one wants be less generous with the description). He is waiting for a bus home after a long day trying to get people to sign up to a small monthly donation via direct debit.
Just so everything is clear, I've posted this picture as this is an unusual sight and I'm slightly taken aback at how narrow the target of people they will help. No other reason.

The Albert Kennedy Trust
In 1989, 16 year old Albert Kennedy fell to his death from the top of a car park in Manchester whilst trying to escape from a group of homophobic bullies pursuing him in a car. Albert was a runaway from a children's home and was suffering depression. In his short life he had experienced rejection and abuse from society.
This is a photo taken during the Masterclass Place Branding and site-specific Design with Christian Pagh.
Mediamatic welcomed Christian Pagh, one of the top European designers in the fields of Culture Design and Urban Planning, to explore the theme of public urinals. Speaker at our Pis'talk: Pissing in Public, Pagh will also be giving an exclusive Masterclass where we will deconstruct the notion of the toilet through delving into his method of Space Branding. Our case study: Mediamatic’s new Dijkspark. Could we turn this space into a public urinal while using this as a positive feature for its identity?

Little specific information about "Silver Galaxy Granite" from India is available. It has a foliated texture, so it is a metamorphic rock - it appears to be a gneiss. The dark red areas are very likely garnets. The matrix includes a sparkly component - likely mica.
I've seen this material attributed to Andhra Pradesh State (= southern Indian) and Rajasthan State (= northwestern India). Verified quarry location info. is lacking.
I thought it might be interesting to see all the character exclusive LEGO head molds in one shot.
I had to use a couple extra pieces to get some of the head pieces to stand up.
It's fascinating how many character-specific head designs LEGO have produced over the years.

Alla luce degli ultimi risvolti giudiziari e dopo aver acceso i riflettori sulla vicenda dell'Atleta di Fano di Lisippo, la statua in bronzo datata tra il IV e il Il secolo a.C., il capolavoro trafugato nell'Adriatico e venduto illegalmente al Getty Museum quarant'anni fa, "Petrolio - Ladri di bellezza" torna ad occuparsi del traffico di reperti archeologici, ricostruendo la rete capillare di contatti, rapporti, scambi di denaro che ha generato il quarto mercato illecito del mondo.

Grazie al lavoro di inchiesta durato un anno attraverso fonti esclusive e testimonianze uniche di magistrati, carabinieri, uomini dell'FBI, esperti ed archeologi, "Petrolio", documenta i legami tra organizzazioni malavitose, mondo del collezionismo e i più importanti musei del mondo. Duilio Giammaria va negli Stati Uniti sulle tracce del traffico miliardario di reperti archeologici. In California intervista in esclusiva Timothy Potts, direttore del Getty Museum, in merito alla questione del bronzo di Lisippo. Un viaggio che prosegue a Ginevra, luogo di transito di molti dei reperti trafugati e a Cambridge dove l'archeologo forense Christos Tsirogiannis spiega il ruolo delle case d'asta in questo commercio illecito. Ospiti di Petrolio il critico d'arte Vittorio Sgarbi, lo storico dell'arte Tomaso Montanari e il tenente colonnello Nicola Candido, comandante del reparto operativo dei carabinieri per la Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale.

COME PREVISTO DALLA POLICY DEL GRANDE MUSEO LOSANGELINO, CHE OBBLIGA AL RIMPATRIO DELLE OPERE SOTTRATTE ILLEGALMENTE, ORFEO E LE SIRENE TORNERANNO A SETTEMBRE 2022 A ROMA, SEGUITI DA ALTRI MANUFATTI IN UN SECONDO MOMENTO.

Un momento storico per le restituzioni, e per l’Italia. Il J. Paul Getty Museum di Los Angeles ha annunciato oggi che restituirà al Paese il Gruppo scultoreo di un Poeta Seduto e Sirene, un gruppo di figure in terracotta a grandezza naturale della seconda metà del IV secolo a.C. proveniente dalla colonia magnogreca di Taranto, noto anche come Orfeo e le Sirene. Il museo statunitense starebbe inoltre collaborando con il Ministero della Cultura per organizzare la restituzione di altri quattro manufatti, a data da destinarsi. Il gigantesco museo a capo dell’omonimo centro per le arti ha già rimosso i manufatti dal percorso di visita in preparazione per il trasporto a Roma a settembre (peraltro molto difficile, vista la fragilità delle sculture), dove saranno affidati al Ministero della Cultura.

IL GRUPPO SCULTOREO ORFEO E LE SIRENE
La restituzione non è per l’Italia una vera e propria sorpresa, dato che già all’inizio del 2006 l’opera compariva in un elenco di manufatti di cui si rivendicava il possesso e si chiedeva la restituzione. Stando alla commissione permanente in Senato su Istruzione pubblica, beni culturali, ricerca scientifica, spettacolo e sport riunitasi nell’agosto 2020, “il bene, databile secondo la maggior parte degli studiosi nell’ambito della seconda metà del IV secolo a.C., si compone di tre statue, originariamente policrome: due figure femminili stanti (140 per 55 centimetri circa), riconoscibili come sirene in base alla conformazione ornitomorfa della parte inferiore del corpo, e una figura maschile seduta, vestita del solo mantello, variamente identificata come poeta, come Orfeo o semplicemente come un defunto del quale poteva costituire parte del monumento sepolcrale.

La figura maschile impugna con la mano destra un oggetto allungato, probabilmente il manico di un plektron, secondo l’interpretazione di Bottini e Guzzo, che ipotizzano nell’altra mano l’originaria presenza di uno strumento a corda. L’opera è riconducibile con certezza al patrimonio culturale italiano e proviene probabilmente dal territorio tarantino”. Lo stesso Getty Trust, si legge ancora nel verbale del Senato, aveva sottoscritto nel 2007 una convenzione con l’allora Ministero per i beni e le attività culturali che aveva permesso il rientro in Italia di molti beni preziosi e che stabiliva l’impegno del Ministero a “interpellare previamente il Getty Trust prima di procedere al recupero di beni archeologici dei quali sia acquisita la prova della provenienza da scavo clandestino e/o oggetto di esportazione illegittima dall’Italia di beni archeologici presenti nelle collezioni del Getty Trust

“. Sono passati un po’ di anni, certo, ma la collaborazione si può ora dire fruttuosa, nonostante i trascorsi anche burrascosi (vedasi la condanna del tribunale di Pesaro di qualche anno fa).

LA POLICY DI RESTITUZIONE DEL GETTY MUSEUM DEI MANUFATTI SOTTRATTI ILLECITAMENTE
Il Getty – un’istituzione di livello globale con una enorme collezione che va dalle opere greche alle fotografie del Novecento – ha adempiuto così alla propria policy di restituzione dei manufatti al Paese d’origine, obbligatoria nel caso in cui vi siano informazioni affidabili a indicare che siano stati rubati o scavati illegalmente. “Grazie alle informazioni fornite da Matthew Bogdanos e dall’Unità per il traffico di antichità dell’ufficio del procuratore distrettuale di Manhattan che indicano lo scavo illegale di Orfeo e delle sirene, abbiamo deciso che questi oggetti dovrebbero essere restituiti”, hanno dichiarato i direttori Timothy Potts, Maria Hummer-Tuttle e Robert Tuttle.

Ma non finisce qui: secondo ricercatori dell’istituzione e studiosi indipendenti, bisognerà restituire anche una colossale testa in marmo di una divinità del II secolo d.C.; uno stampo in pietra del II secolo d.C. per la fusione di pendenti; un dipinto a olio intitolato Oracolo a Delfi (1881) di Camillo Miola; e un thymiaterion in bronzo etrusco del IV secolo a.C. I primi tre di questi oggetti furono acquisiti dal fondatore J. Paul Getty e dal Getty Museum negli anni ’70, il quarto nel 1996, e nessuno di loro è più stato esposto al pubblico negli ultimi anni. “Apprezziamo il nostro forte e fruttuoso rapporto con il Ministero della Cultura italiano e con i nostri numerosi colleghi archeologi, conservatori, curatoriali e altri studiosi in tutta Italia, con i quali condividiamo la missione di promuovere la conservazione del patrimonio culturale antico“, ha affermato il direttore Potts.

4). ITALIA / USA - Getty to return illegally excavated Orpheus sculptures, some great antiquities, to Italy. The Los Angele Times, USA (11 Aug., 2022).
The J. Paul Getty Museum is returning its Orpheus group of sculptures — a culturally significant group of nearly life-size terra-cotta figures known as “Orpheus and the Sirens,” some of the museum’s greatest antiquities — to Italy. The objects, which have been determined to have been illegally excavated and exported, will be sent to Rome in September. The institution is coordinating with Italy’s Ministry of Culture to send four other objects back as well at a future date.

“The Getty is not in a position to comment on information that led to the return of the Orpheus,” spokesperson Julie Jaskol said. “The information was supplied by Matthew Bogdanos of the Antiquities Trafficking Unit of the Manhattan district attorney’s office, who developed the evidence in an investigation unrelated to the Getty. The evidence persuaded us that the statues had been illegally excavated and it was appropriate to return them in accordance with Getty policy.”

Bogdanos was not able to comment given that the investigation is still in progress, a spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney’s office said.

“This piece is being returned pursuant to an ongoing and active criminal investigation,” the spokesperson said in an email, “which uncovered the antiquity was illegally trafficked.”

“Orpheus and the Sirens” is extremely fragile, and the museum says it is working on “specially tailored equipment and procedures” regarding its transfer.

J. Paul Getty purchased the Orpheus sculptures in the spring of 1976. It was among his final acquisitions prior to his June 6 death.

In his diary, which is part of the Getty’s archives, an entry from Saturday, March 6, 1976, notes that he “bought the following objects” including “a group of 3 Greek statues made in Tarentum at the end of the 4th C.B.C.

They represent a singer Orpheus seated and 2 standing sirens. $550,000 from Bank Leu. All of these naturally were on [Czech American archaeologist Jiří Frel’s] recommendation.” Frel was the Getty’s antiquities curator from 1973 to 1986.

The $550,000 Getty paid in 1976 is equivalent to around $3 million today, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CPI Inflation Calculator.

The Orpheus group of sculptures is an incredibly important work to the Getty. It has been on view, in a ground floor gallery at the Getty Villa, since it was acquired more than four decades ago.

“It is a very important work. I’d even say one of the most important in the [Getty Museum’s] collection,” Getty Museum director Timothy Potts said in an interview. “So it will be a loss as to what we can represent about the art of the ancient classical world, in this case southern Italy in the late fourth century B.C.”

Potts said the work is especially unique because of its scale, quality and subject matter — it suggests the mythical story of Jason and the Argonauts, which would make the sculpture’s seated man, who plays a harp-like instrument, Orpheus.

“It’s just extremely rare and there’s nothing similar in our collection, or closely similar in any collection,” Potts said. “It does leave a hole in our gallery but with this evidence that came forth, there was no question that it needed to be sent back to Italy.”

“We value our strong and fruitful relationship with the Italian Ministry of Culture and with our many archaeological, conservation, curatorial, and other scholarly colleagues throughout Italy, with whom we share a mission to advance the preservation of ancient cultural heritage,” Potts said in a statement.

The other pieces being returned to Italy — none of which have been exhibited in recent years — are a colossal marble head of a divinity and a limestone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century A.D., along with a 19th century oil painting by Camillo Miola, “The Oracle,” and an Etruscan bronze thymiaterion, a ceremonial incense burner, from the fourth century B.C. The latter was acquired by the Getty in 1996 while the other three objects were acquired in the 1970s.

On Global Open Day on UNSCR 1325, Calls for Greater Women Role in Future of post-Daesh Iraq
Baghdad/Erbil, 24 October 2017 – The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), jointly with UNWOMEN within the context of the observing the Global Open Day and the 17th Anniversary of UN Security Council resolution 1325, held consultative forums with senior political leadership in Baghdad and Erbil on 23 and 24 October, with the focus on strengthening women’s political participation.
In both Baghdad and Erbil, the concerns of women, their participation in society, the political process and decision-making were raised. Participants were categorical in stating that there have been long-standing barriers which have continued to impede women’s participation and representation in the political process. Particularly, participants noted a regression in women’s representation in executive, legislative as well as judiciary branches of government. Further, participants decried that leaderships of political parties have not given sufficient opportunities to women to fully and equally participate in politics. Recommendations were proposed, including a specific request made to the political leaders to give women an opportunity to be part of the solution. Participants also called for legislation to promote and increase women’s participation in politics and governance as well as to promote them to decision-making positions.
In Baghdad, the meeting on 23 October was organized in collaboration with the Implementation and Follow-up Commission for National Reconciliation in the Office of the Prime Minister. The meeting was attended by the Minister of Health and Environment, H.E. Adila Hammoud, Adviser to the Prime Minister on reconciliation, Mr. Mohammed Salman, the Speaker of Parliament’s representative Dr. Ahmed Rushdy, Advisor to the President of the Republic, Juan Masoum, heads of political blocs and other government representatives, parliamentary Committee heads, MPs as well as academics, in addition to representatives of UNAMI and UNWOMEN.
H.E. Ms. Adila Hammoud, the Minister of Health and Environment, stated that to overcome social barriers and challenges impeding women’s participation required a concerted effort and commitment from political leaders and decision-makers, noting “the significant successes of many Iraqi women on the executive and legislative levels and their ability to play an essential role in peace making and societal reconciliation.”
Mr. Mohammad Salman of the reconciliation committee, in his opening remarks, said the meeting is a “golden opportunity for all to benefit from the accumulated experiences of peoples” that the UN holds as it works to support women issues.
Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq, Mr. Ján Kubiš, emphasized in his remarks at the meetings in Baghdad and Erbil that women in Iraq are agents of positive change and they must be given the opportunity to act in that critical role in shaping the future of their country in the post-Daesh period.
“Equality and empowerment of women must be central to all peace, justice, reconciliation and reform efforts in the post-Daesh period. Women’s participation is crucial for an effective, successful and sustainable peace processes and reform. Only through their direct and meaningful participation their voices will be heard,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The consultative meeting in Erbil was convened on 24 October by UNAMI in collaboration with UN WOMEN and the Kurdistan Regional Government’s High Council for Women Affairs. It was attended by Interior Minister H.E. Mr. Karim Sinjari, Minister of the Department of Foreign Relations H.E. Mr. Falah Al-Mustafa, Secretary-General of the High Council for Women’s Affairs Ms. Pakhshan Zangana, Spokesperson to Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, Safeen Dizayi, and women leaders, in addition to representatives of UNAMI and UN WOMEN.
In remarks at the Erbil meeting, Ms. Pakshan Zangana, the Secretary-General of the High Council for Women’s Affairs in Kurdistan Region of Iraq, said the recent crisis in Kirkuk have seen displacements of civilians including women, the elderly and children. She urged the UN to strengthen its efforts towards addressing the needs to those displaced.
In Erbil, Mr. Kubiš acknowledged the efforts of the Cross-Sector Task Force on the implementation of the Iraq National Action Plan on 1325. “Regardless of all issues between Baghdad and Erbil, the collaboration of women group representatives from both Baghdad and Erbil has been remarkable. It is a good model of constructive cooperation that should inspire also the process of finding solutions to the current crisis between Baghdad and Erbil. Women must play a key role also in these endeavors.”
The SRSG recalled the particularly brutal treatment of women and girls by Daesh terrorists and pointed out to UN Security Council resolution 2379, passed in September to establish an investigative team to support domestic efforts to hold Daesh accountable.
UN WOMEN Representative in Iraq, Ms. Dina Zorba, in both meetings in Baghdad and Erbil, commended the government, civil society, and national and international partners for continued commitment to UNSCR 1325, stating that Iraq is the first country in the Middle East to launch a national plan to implement 1325. She urged the government to work to ensure gender issues are incorporated in all democratization and nation building agendas, and called on the UN, the government, and the International Community to continue to advocate for and protect the rights of women and girls.
