This project shows the important role that design can play in initiating cultural change, assimilation and integration—simply by using our daily basic mode of communication: the written word.

The Waiting Panorama A Workshop at SAWA
April 9 - 12, 2011
The Waiting Panorama is a four-day film workshop revolving around the theatrical and cinematic genre of Tableau Vivant. The aim is to produce a film work, in collaboration with Danish artists Tina Helen and Soren Thilo Funder, that address the living situation of a Cairo citizen. Urban society is arranged in a long series of moments of waiting and for certain citizens the act of waiting even becomes a forced state of being. The typical waiting situation will be turned upside down in a series of “living pictures” generated collaboratively in the workshop. The act of waiting becomes the generator for discussions and interpretations – waiting for citizenship, waiting for democracy, waiting for love, waiting for answers, waiting for the bus, waiting for something unknown. The Waiting Panorama is not interested in “waiting” as a passive moment, but rather focuses on “waiting” as an active living movement.

Play: Everyone Has Tears by Cynthia Sophiea Accompanied by Zafer Tawil on oud, dumbek, and violin
April 3, 2011
A woman—Lebanese, Palestinian, American—discovers her roots. Now she’s telling her story—and unearthing voices rarely heard. Cynthia Sophiea’s solo performance, “Everyone Has Tears,” interweaves with honesty, humor, and song her journey and the tales of people who have deeply impacted her life: her Lebanese grandmother who came to America as a 20-year-old bride; her ‘broken’ Palestinian cousin, Salim, whose family lost everything in the violent birth of the state of Israel; a passionate Jewish-American writer and friend, defender of the Jewish state; the 'older than his years' Palestinian boy she met in a Beirut refugee camp in 1981; even Golde and Tzeitel from 'Fiddler on the Roof,' characters she has played and loved. Everyone Has Tears is a voyage that is at once personal but also emblematic of the general condition of exile, immigration and the existential conditions of contemporary humanity.
