The Fight for Public Access - Part 6



Listen to the Texas Public Radio news story by Abra Schnur, “Public Access TV Update”
which aired on August 4, 2006. This news story lays out where we stand at this time on this issue. At this time, September 2006, there is still confusion going on for people who want to subscribe to the Public Access Channel who do not have the digital package from Time Warner. Right now we (the Producers) are also attempting to get outside advertising so the public knows the channel is back up.

Visions from Palestine: Salwa Arnous - Artist

Watch the video

Artist Salwa Arnous was born in Jaffa Palestine and began painting during the Oslo Peace Accords . She grew up in Cairo Egypt and has lived in Kuwait. She has lived in the United States for 27 years and now resides in San Antonio Texas where she works in the city’s public library.


Her Palestinian art exhibit has ignited controversy in the San Antonio political arena with the local newspaper the San Antonio Express News, running a front page story claiming a prominent Jewish leader, Rabbi Barry Block, called the exhibit “Anti-Semitic” and that it was “not art” (Rabbi Barry denied using the term Anti-Semitic).The story evoked several responses from other reporters and the public on the Palestinian/Israeli issue. Many of the commentators have not seen the exhibit for themselves.

The paintings and collages are powerful, showing images of women and children, including a collage with Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old activist from Olympia Washington, who was killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003. In an effort for more people to be able to view Salwa’s work, we present some of her art in this short video. We hope that others who have now heard of her art but have not seen it, may view it and make up their own minds about what it conveys to them.


This art exhibit is currently on display in San Antonio Texas at the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center through the fall of 2006.

The video includes an introduction by journalist Barbara Renaud Gonzalez.

Music by Natacha Atlas.

Espanol:Salwa Arnous es una artista que nacio en Jaffa Palestina, se creo en Cairo, Egipto, y vivio en Kuwait. Su arte sobre la vida de los Palestinos ha encendido una controversia en la cuidad de San Antonio Texas. El periodico el Express News escribio una historia que el arte era anti-semitico (encontra de los Judios) y que el rabi Barry Block de el Templo Bethel opino que no era arte. Various periodistas en la cuidad y el publico dio comentario sobre el tema sin haber visto la exhibicion.

En este video presentamos un poco de el arte de Salwa, para que el publico pueda ver lo y ellos mismos decidir el significado de su arte.

Natacha Atlas - Visions From Palestine





This is a repost from Youtube.com. This is the video for the song "Leysh Natarak."


This is a song from about 10 years ago but it resonates just as much now as then when it comes to Lebannon, Palestine, and the Middle East conflict.
Natacha Atlas is a favorite artist among the middle eastern belly dance community.
Espanol: Este video de la artista Natacha Atlas es de hace 5 anos, pero todavia resona en estos tiempos por el conflicto en el Medio Oriente. Natacha es una artista favorita entre mujeres que bailan el baile del vientre.
