The Arabian Dream

13 april 2008

Artist: Maher Al Sabbagh

Maher Al Sabbagh decided to make The Arabian Dream because he wanted to present a different sound next to the one-sided media attention on the Arabic world. He made a documentary in which he investigates the origins of the grudge the Arabic World holds to the West. Al Sabbagh does not shy sensitive subjects such as the persisting colonialism, the question of Israel or the roots of radicalism.


A glimpse of the dynamics within a collecting art institute
Consumerist excess and the fiction of economic speculation
Create or destroy
Health as common good and social capital
How to deal with this new reality?
is the idea of a school still grounded in the locality of a physical environment?
The ultimate symbol of godlessness
Trust me - I'm a designer
We'll be rich tonight!
Without a palace of glass, life is a burden
