come join us for:

* MUSIC & DANCE :: Frankie Flave from Style Elements. Kilafornia and Jeremy McDara serve as the organizers

of the evening's hip hop and drum n' bass entertainment and world class breakdancing battles. The dance

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.

* the paintings of Abdulah Ashaeb, an Iraqi artist living in Iraq, projected onto the walls of our

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


* Downtown artist Launa Bacon will engage in an instant message conversation with her cousin, a soldier,

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.
