Today

The 22nd of June might well be a very important date both in and for The Aqaba House, as it marks the date on which we will host our second big art-event. Okay, on the 31st of December, 2009, The Aqaba House was also open for visitors, to mark the fact that our first exhibition (30 days in Luxor, by Hakim Jamain, remember) was opened, but except for the two guests arrving that night, not a soul came to that opening-night. In spring, we had a very nice event surrounding the opening of Tariq Dajani's photographs of Wadi Rum, but today on the 2nd day of summer (and oh yeah, it's hot in Aqaba!) we invite all interested souls to dive deep into the waters of the 4 elements, by first taking a look at Bader Mahasneh's way of sculpting the water and, when the sun has set, come to downtown Aqaba for a Dutch documentary, simply called 4 elements.
Although Bader's photo's have been on show for a while in The House today The Aqaba House will be open for all in Aqaba to take a look at his work.

Tomorrow in The Aqaba House and in downtown Aqaba

All are welcome!
See you there!

collage

The pictures in this collage are taken by Joseph Zakarian, and have been published before in an article in JO Magazine.

The logo - caps and shirts

I've just ordered a test-shirt and a test-cap with the logo of The Aqaba House. Hope the result will be nice, so they can be sold in The House. Of course, as I ordered them through our partner in recycling, Entity Green, most of the proceeds will go to the poorer communities in and around Aqaba. Once the results are out, I'll let you know, so you also can have a great souvenir of your stay in or visit to The Aqaba House. Furthermore, of course the people working in The House will be wearing them. Let's start branding!!
