has added a new journalThe 2nd City Council Art Gallery + Performance Space is pleased to announce
its call for California artists for "In the Name of All that's Holy". This
exhibition explores beliefs, faith, religion and spirituality. The
exhibition runs November 26, 2005 - January 6, 2006.
Cash awards $500, $300, $ 200, $100 plus the infamous Eye Opener Statue.
The juror is Dr. Allen F. Roberts is Professor of World Arts and Cultures
and French and Francophone Studies at UCLA, as well as director of the James
S. Coleman African Studies Center. He also serves on the advisory boards of
Islamic Studies and the Center for Religious Studies at UCLA. His PhD in
Anthropology was based upon four years of field research on cosmology,
politics, and the arts among Tabwa people of the Congo. The book and
exhibition that resulted were the first of five major NEH-funded projects
created around his work or to which he has been a principal contributor. One
book and exhibition considered animals in African art (1995), another
recycling in Africa (1996). "Memory: Luba Art and the Making of History"
(1996), organized with his spouse, Dr. Mary "Polly" Nooter Roberts (deputy
director and chief curator, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History), won the
College Art Association's Alfred H. Barr Award for Museum Scholarship. Most
recently, "A Saint in the City: Sufi Arts of Urban Senegal" (2003), also
organized with Polly, won the African Studies Association's Herskovits Prize
as the best book in African Studies of 2003, and the exhibition was hailed
by art critic Holland Cotter of The New York Times as one of the ten best
of 2003 on any topic at any museum in the United States.

has added a new journalAsalaamu Alaikum,
I was wondering if anyone can recommend some good books with TRANSLITERATED URDU as well as some good books with URDU SCRIPT for CHILDREN.
My husband is Pakistani, and we have 2 daughters (ages 7 and 5) from my previous marriage. We are going to be trying for another baby soon, InshaAllah.
Our 7 yr old can already read, and since both of our daughters are young, I would like to expose them as much as possible to Urdu and the Pakistani culture in the hope that they might pick up enough to speak the language and keep up with the fluency that the new baby will hopefully have (being started on Urdu and English from the start).
I would mostly like to do this through books, as my daughters both LOVE books.
So that you understand...I myself do not speak Urdu and am trying to learn, but it's very hard for me.
If you could recommend anything that would be great.

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew of a Quran (obviously seriously abridged and/or paraphrased) for children. I am a revert to Islam, and I know in Christianity, there are Bibles for children which relate the stories and the basic values and such to kids in a manner they can relate to. I'd like to find something of this sort to relate the Quran, the Hadith, and the History of Islam to my young children in a way that they would understand and also take an interest in the subjects. As everyone knows....sincere interest/curiosity is the best motivation for seeking knowledge.
