There Is Still A Sun That Rises

Description:	Satar, Abdul (author)Pauly, Bettina (printer) Letterpress with burned paper and hand stitching. Edition of 20.This collection supports and promotes awareness to the important mission and framework of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here Coalitions focus on the lasting power of the written word and the arts in support of the free expression of ideas, the preservation of shared cultural spaces, and the importance of responding to attacks, both overt and subtle, on artists, writers, and academics working under oppressive regimes or in zones of conflict, despite the destruction of that literary/cultural content. The text I used for A sun that rises [artists book] is the same text I used for the Al-Mutanabbi Street starts here broadside. It is taken from the documentary A Candle for Shabandar Cafe, filmed and directed by Emad Ali, Baghdad Film School, in 2007. Abdul Satar (Abu Ali) is shown in the documentary. He is standing in front of the Shabandar Cafe while they are holding vigil for all the people who died in the car bombing. He is talking about destruction throughout the centuries, about continuing cruel violence and he ends with the words there is still a sun that rises and there is hope despite all the destruction. This after the bombing had taken toll at his family, his business, his livelihood, his life.
