Amman: A captivating array of artistic expressions, oscillating between reality, dreams, and imagination, graces the halls of the European Union Mission Building in Jordan. The exhibition, which opened on Sunday evening, promises a year-long journey through the realms of Arab creativity.

Inaugurated by Minister of Culture Haifa Al-Najjar, the event saw the presence of Pierre-Christophe Chatzisavas, Head of Delegation of the European Union to Jordan, alongside a gathering of art aficionados.

Showcasing the works of 22 Arab visual artists hailing from Jordan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, Kuwait, Tunisia, and Iraq, the exhibition presents a collection of 30 paintings from the Wahbeh family.

The minister underscored Jordan’s pride in hosting a plethora of Arab talents, striving to amplify their global visibility. “Our presence at the European Union Mission Building today, amidst this grand celebration of Arab creativity, sends a powerful artistic message: that
impactful art transcends borders,” she remarked. “These thirty paintings are a testament to the richness of Arab thought, united by a common cultural thread.”

Commending the exhibited artworks, Christophe noted Jordan’s efforts in nurturing its artistic landscape and fostering connections with artists worldwide, which, he affirmed, enriches the global art scene.

In an exclusive statement to Petra, collector Hassan Wahbeh shed light on the personal nature of the exhibited works. The genesis of the exhibition stemmed from a visit by the Head of the European Union Mission in Jordan, who expressed admiration for the artworks. Wahbeh emphasized that extending the exhibition for a year aims to provide European visitors to Jordan with an opportunity to delve into the capabilities and perspectives of Arab artists.

New York: Minister of Social Development and Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Women’s Empowerment, Wafa Bani Mustafa, participated in the UN’s 68th annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68) in New York on Monday.

In her speech, she said, “We gather today as women leaders who have always believed in and campaigned for human rights and women’s rights on a national and worldwide level. The horrific onslaught on the Gaza Strip is entering its sixth month, with collective misery and crimes against humanity against the Strip’s population continuing, resulting in the deaths and injuries of over 100,000 Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children.”

In addition, she mentioned that over 50,000 expectant mothers in Gaza are not having safe deliveries, and over 64,000 women are unable to provide nourishment for their offspring. In addition, most hospitals have been rendered inoperable, houses, colleges, and universities have been completely destroyed, and the provision of essential humanitaria
n relief is still being blocked a blatant disregard for the ruling of the International Court of Justice.

Bani Mustafa demanded an acknowledgment that the international system had failed Palestinian women, that all international mechanisms and tools had failed to put an end to this ongoing genocide in broad daylight and in light of double standards, and that there were inconsistencies between the value of human life and fundamental rights

She emphasized Jordan’s unwavering stance headed by His Majesty King Abdullah II in favor of an immediate ceasefire, the cessation of the genocide in Gaza, and the continuation of aid operations. She cited the Kingdom’s efforts to send airdrops and land convoys carrying relief supplies.
