WELCOME
EXPLORING SELF…i.e.
groups in Nottingham, shedding light on cultures misrepresented.
Welcome to our Summer season, building up to our 10th birthday.
This is a stupendous year of reflection and celebration. NAE will be supporting a community programme of celebrations in recognition of the launch of the Windrush 70 years ago on 22 June. We’ll also be celebrating 30 years of Mela in the UK – starting right here in Nottingham – with this year’s festival (un)folding time in a five day bonanza across Hyson Green, the Arboretum and Hockley.
We launch with the renowned and brilliant artist Akram Zaatari, whose exhibition includes a new commission, The Script, as we collaborate with Turner Contemporary and Modern Art Oxford. Since the turn of the century, Islamic cultures have been under close scrutiny and surveillance by authorities, with media and politicians creating fear and mistrust about the ‘other’. Divide and rule, an old colonial tactic, continues to brainwash society. Akram counters this, exploring how Arab communities represent themselves using new technology played out, performed even, through social media.
Alongside this we have our family and young people’s programmes including holiday workshops and Saturday Art Club, our artist and creative enterprise development programmes Real Creative Futures and ExperiMentor, and the launch of a new menu packed with delicious international cuisine in our CaféBar.
Responding to Akram’s work is the collaborative engagement programme Live Archive by Abbas Zahedi, who has worked with a multitude of Muslim

EXHIBITIONS
Akram Zaatari The Script
The exhibition features Dance to the End of Love (2011), a four-screen video installation comprised entirely of YouTube videos created and uploaded by young men from the Arab world. The videos, often fantastical, show individuals with super powers harnessing fire balls and lightning, footage of vehicles travelling on two wheels, body building displays and other playful scenes influenced by popular culture. Zaatari is interested in the distinct activities, actions or statements which people choose to share online, and how a “shared script” begins to emerge through the re-enactment of narratives. Once out in public, videos circulate among a global community. The videos are mirrored or re-enacted via a multitude of new uploads by new users who refine the script, thus collectively authoring this shared script along the way. While working on this new commission, Zaatari decided to re-enact a specific script that he has observed to be popular among practicing Muslims on YouTube in recent years – a choreography between a son and his father during prayer.
13 JULY – 9 SEPTEMBER 2018 EXHIBITION LAUNCH Thursday 12 July, 6pm – 9pm
The Script brings together new and existing works by Akram Zaatari, an internationally renowned Lebanese artist whose work is tied to researching and studying the photographic record in the context of modern Arab societies. Zaatari is interested in the active role that photography plays in what he describes as “performed identities”. In 1997 he co-founded the Arab Image Foundation, Beirut’s leading institution dedicated to the study and preservation of photography in the Middle East, North Africa and the Arab diaspora, and for years Zaatari has studied the archives of Studio Shehrazade, a photography studio that operated in his hometown, Saida, Lebanon from 1953. The Script focuses on Zaatari’s interest in people’s attitudes while filming or photographing themselves, an exploration that emerged from his research on vernacular and studio photography. Zaatari identifies recurring attitudes, fashions and forms of behaviour in front of the camera and how individuals choose to associate themselves with a social class, technology, modern values, or sometimes dominant ideologies. Zaatari considers those self-representations as performative narratives that start with studio photography and extend to YouTubing.
The exhibition also includes a series of studio photographs from the aforementioned Studio Shehrazade, taken by the studio’s founder, Hashem el Madani, which explore the posed attitudes of sitters in Lebanon from the mid-50s to 70s. The Script is a touring exhibition by New Art Exchange in partnership with Turner Contemporary and Modern Art Oxford. Funded by Arts Council England and supported by Thomas Dane Gallery. #AkramZaatari 5
ARTIST’S PROJECT
Abbas Zahedi: Live Archive
Live Archive, emerged from a research phase where Zahedi interviewed diverse local communities and organisations. A process of collaboration was then created to bring aspects of existing ritual practice and discourse into the gallery context; entangling the living archive of the community with the exhibition space.
Abbas Zahedi is a British artist working across sound, moving image, installation, performance and participatory events. His current practice is influenced by his concept of neo-diaspora – the experience of being a second generation migrant, in a hyper-connected world.
The Live Archive events will include a sacred-chanting ceremony (Dhikr) led by Nottingham Muslim Women’s Network, poetry recitations (Qasidah) with traditional music, a Sermon ‘outreach’ performance in collaboration with artist Sofia Niazi (OOMK zine) and culminating in a discussion exploring Islam and faith as manifested through contemporary image-led society. For more details, dates and times, please see pages 8, 9, 11 and 12.
Inspired by Akram Zaatari’s exhibition and delivered over the period of the show, Zahedi presents his new project, Live Archive, a programme of performances and discussions that create the opportunity to engage with faith-based rituals and artistic practice as part of the same act. Designed to extend the relationships between Nottingham’s multifaceted Muslim community and New Art Exchange,

Covers
Covers will be displayed in New Art Exchange’s Central Gallery and the first floor of record shop and music venue, Rough Trade Nottingham (5 Broad St, NG1 3AJ). In total it will feature over 50 reggae sleeves re-photographed decades later in their original locations, held up at arm’s-length to blend in with their surroundings. Displayed alongside interviews with those involved in the making of the records, Covers offers a fascinating insight into the history of reggae music in the UK, an often overlooked but essential part of Britain’s musical identity and popular culture.
RETRACING REGGAE RECORD SLEEVES IN THE UK 21 JULY – 2 SEPTEMBER 2018
Covers by photographer Alex Bartsch in collaboration with DJ and cultural historian Al ‘Fingers’ Newman, documents reggae record covers shot mainly in London between 1967 and 1988. For this showing in Nottingham, an additional LP by the Nottingham-based reggae band The Natural Ites forms part of the display. The group were photographed in Wollaton Park, Nottingham, for the cover of their 1983 album, Picture on the Wall (CSA Records).

Artist Akram Zaatari will be in conversation with academic, editor, and writer Anthony Downey.

In 2014, Umama Hamido travelled from her city Beirut to the Bekaa Valley on the border of Lebanon and Syria; a land of beauty but also a world of local tribes, rebel fighters, and people who have fled civil war in the neighbouring country. In this cinematic performance, Hamido takes us on a journey through sound and image, sharing film footage and spoken word which captures both the serenity and beauty of this environment but also a reality of tension, poverty, fear and imminent danger.
Members of Nottingham Muslim Women’s Network host a dhikr ceremony, a regular form of ritual practice in Islam, associated with Sufism. A ceremony may include recitation from the Quran, singing, music, movement and trance. Dhikr (Arabic for the remembrance of Allah) is regarded as the highest form of contemplation.

The diverse and in-depth programme launched in January 2017, Bandra in Mumbai and has since expanded from South Asia to across Africa, South Korea, South Italy and Sicily.
We are currently hosting artist Tasawar Bashir, from the University of Birmingham. His enquiry investigates the ontology of sufi sound inventing 21st century sounds under the guise of his aesthetic ‘Su-Fi’. We are also being joined by curator and film programmer Ian Sergeant from BCU. Sergeant’s study reconstructs and reimagines Black Masculinity in the 21st century and explores the imbalance of black and minority cultural representation in curriculum content in University courses.
