DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk & Slide Presentation\n\nArtist Talk with Taraneh Hemami\n& 
 Slide Presentation with Sana Makhoul\n\nSaturday June 16, 2007 @ 2pm, 
 FREE\n\nArtist Taraneh Hemami has been exhibiting and teaching in the Bay 
 Area since 1991. Her\nwork has ranged from large, personal paintings to 
 intimate book arts, from sculptures to\ninstallations, from performances to 
 digital sound pieces. Join Hemami for a discussion\nabout her new work and 
 exhibition currently on view, Most Wanted. This is followed by a\nslide 
 presentation by Sana Makhoul entitled In the Middle of..., which looks at 
 the\nvisual images used throughout history at times of war to impact people 
 and construct\nstereotypes. Makhoul specifically examines the 
 misrepresentation of and stereotyping of\nArabs and Muslims in many public 
 arenas, from television and cinema to newspapers and the\nfine arts. This 
 talk will examine these images and how contemporary artists are\naddressing 
 them.\n\n------\n\nFilm Screening Curated by Sana Makhoul\n\nFeaturing 
 Edward Said: On Orientalism &\nIntroduction to the End of an 
 Argument\n\nWednesday June 27, 2007 @ 7pm\n$5-$15/sliding scale, general 
 admission\n\nIntersection for the Arts teams up with curator Sana Makhoul 
 to present a film screening\nfeaturing two films presented in conjunction 
 with Most Wanted, the latest exhibition on\nview in our gallery.\n\nEdward 
 Said: On Orientalism includes an engaging and lavishly illustrated 
 interview with\nthe late Edward Said, whose book Orientalism has been 
 profoundly influential in a diverse\nrange of disciplines since its 
 publication in 1978. Said talks about the context within\nwhich the book 
 was conceived, its main themes, and how its original thesis relates to 
 the\ncontemporary understanding of "the Orient" as represented in the mass 
 media.\n\nIntroduction to the End of an Argument features a combination of 
 film, documentary news\ncoverage, and excerpts of "live" footage shot in 
 the West Bank and Gaza strip. This film\ncritiques representations of the 
 Middle East, Arab culture, and the Palestinian people\nproduced by the 
 West.\n\n\nIntersection for the Arts\n446 Valencia Street\nSan Francisco,
