An opportunity

Saloua Raouda Choucair: Self Portrait (image from here and more here)
Following this link from Sarah Campbell's post I found a wondrous gesture made by MoMA in New York. We should take any indication of some people being superficially denigrated, banned, dissed in any way to find out more about them.  Far from being depressed and negative we will become more informed - definitely a positive opportunity!

  1. This is wonderful. I had just finished writing to a friend saying how we need to try and keep positive, find hope in every small act of resistance and keep resisting ourselves in these awful times we live in, and then I saw your post - yet another example of resistance that can give us hope and a sense of solidarity. Absolutely wonderful.

    1. Eirene, I'm afraid that somebody somewhere always lives in more awful times than we are experiencing. I'm a great believer in encouraging curiosity and discovery to show that the truth is not one simple thing, and that complexity is not something to fear.
