Latent and Manifest Islamophobia: Multimodal Engagements with the Production of Knowledge

Join us free of charge for the Fifth Annual International Islamophobia Conference April 14-19, 2014 on the legendary Berkeley campus, the location with a reputation for activism and for challenging ideas and authority. The focus of the conference will be Islamophobia: a contrived fear or prejudice fomented by the existing Eurocentric and Orientalist global power structure which rationalizes the necessity to deploy violence as a tool to achieve "civilizational rehab" of the target communities (Muslim or otherwise).

When Opposites Attract: The Fusion Calligraphy of Haji Noor Deen

When Opposites Attract: The Fusion Calligraphy of Haji Noor Deen
The Chinese and Arabic calligraphic traditions have often been compared as two of the world's finest manifestations of the written word. They are at once opposites and complements. In his extraordinary work, the master calligrapher Haji Noor draws deeply from these two rich lettering traditions to present a distinctive calligraphic style that is both Eastern and Western.
