Thank you IMOW, for trying to change the world one byte at a time; thank you, Voters for showing us that you care, and thank you, dear fellow artists, for creating a vibrant tapestry of words, images and sounds that connect us to each other and show that our differences are not cultural barriers but cultural riches, precious and revealing.
Your effort is crucial for shaking the dust off from concepts that have become dangerously habitual (war, motherhood, self-realization), so that their rediscovered meaning can once again inspire.
Thank you for creating a forum in which we re-cognize ourselves…

I vote for Khadija Baker.
Khadija's project, "Coffin Nest" does not simply mean gathering clothes and weaving them together. I see the coffin nest as a "support" for sentiments and memories. It is a kind act coming from her heart for reminding us the so many innocent victims from Iraq. Look at her face, there, siting in the coffin nest, she looks serene and sad but fulfilled. It is like she would whisper "your clothes surround my body, your essence surrounds my soul". Khadija's project is truly outstanding, a monument to celebrate the body and most of all the spirit. It is a coffin for the body and a nest for the spirit. |

I would like to vote for Armenian Lullaby. I have been extremely moved by this video that sings/chants to all women (mothers, but also sisters, wives...) who are asked to sacrifice their men. Above all, this piece helps us question this sacrifice. |
