The work bring together details such as regards and hands holding a tiny Quran. The artist thus sought to address the new and old African diasporas and show that, while this community has a significant cultural and social influence since their arrival to the Americas via the slave trade, they are still underrepresented.<\/p>\n<p>For the artist, the Arabic was his first contact with the culture. \u201cDespite not being an Arab descendant myself, I learned how other cultures (even in Europe, particularly in the Mediterranean countries) carry a huge Arab and Islamic heritage. Great feats and thinkers of the Renaissance were influenced by this legacy. For hundreds of years, the Arabic was the language of knowledge \u2013 scientific or philosophical texts were written in Arabic in several cultures from China to Spain,\u201d the photographer explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick Facts<\/strong><br \/>\nTarikh al-Brasil exhibition<br \/>\nOpening: May 1st<br \/>\nFree admission<br \/>\nMuseum of Image and Sound \u2013 Av.
