A little than more than a year I worked at the Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah.
Here are some images of the outdoor installations: Asim Waquif, Imran Qureshi, Louis Guillaume, Lucia Koch.
Lone bird, 2025, Madiha Manzoor
Madiha Manzoor is a contemporary visual artist whose practice moves across acrylics, oils, and oil pastels to chart the convergence of ecology, cultural memory, and national identity. She began with atmospheric studies of nature and landscape, examining humanity’s bond to land through shifting light, season, and environmental change.

Not a render. Not a dream.
A nuclear-powered machine we built is standing there right now, in that silence, sending light from another world straight into your eyes.

Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama.
Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.
PM Carney: "Those whose politics is to destroy, to demolish, dismantle, they're not going to change their instincts. This is, in many respects, this is their moment. We can't match them by being timid imitations of them. We can't answer them by pining for an old order that's not going to return ... it can only be answered by positive action, by building that which comes next."

That's how many planets exist in our galaxy alone.
If you tried to count them — one per second, every second, never stopping — it would take you over 100,000 years.
That's just in one galaxy.
There are 2 trillion more galaxies.
President Obama: “The White House shouldn’t be able to direct the Attorney General to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants prosecuted. The AG is the people’s lawyer, it’s not the president’s consigliere. You can’t have a situation in which whoever’s in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies”

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.
Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
It was great talking to Stephen and the inspiring young people we’ve worked with at the @ObamaFoundation on the @ColbertLateShow.
When the Obama Presidential Center opens this June 19, my hope is that this will be a place where people can come together to meet, learn, and work with each other to create change in their communities. Learn more at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
