performances will depict Los Angeles' warfare in the inner city streets and art's way, through hip hop, of
sublimating the blood loss of war into positive _expression.

gallery, as well as displayed works by Michael Ulrich and Patrick Haemmerlein.

who is currently stationed in Iraq. The conversation will be projected onto the walls of our gallery.
* A 13 foot family tree installation comprised of black and white copied Iraqi family tree posters will
cover the gallery?s center column. These posters plot the line of BLOOD from Abraham and from his two
sons Isaac and Ishmael, depicting the separation of their own family trees. This historical separation of
brothers was the foundation of the cultural tensions between Judeo-Christian America and the predominantly
Islamic Iraq.
* Islamic and Judeo-Christian Literature on the historical significance and cultural relevance of the
story of Isaac and Ishmael will be available.
* Preparations will be made for a Selah-hosted blood drive to take place in May. A representative from
the Red Cross will be present to give information . The blood from this art service project will go to
both Californians and Iraqi's.
