David Sleeth's Site/Structure opens with an unframed collage depicting  
stonewalls surrounding Tell en-Nasbeh, a site northwest of Jerusalem that  
was excavated by William Frederic BadÃ¨ between 1926 and 1935. With a focus  
on experimental archeology and an interest in sculptural work, David Sleeth  
uses lithics (tools), iron implements, ceramics and other small artifacts,  
as well as original photographs of Tell en-Nasbeh, for a related series of  
pen and ink drawings. He also includes a sculptural piece made of wood,  
carved through the traditional process of burning and scraping, adding a  
dimension to this compelling study of material, fabrication and object.

Burqavaganza - a love story in the time of jihad - is a sassy, provocative  
Bollywood
extravaganza, written by Pakistan's most prolific and progressive  
playwright, Shahid Nadeem,
co-founder of Ajoka Theatre in Lahore, Pakistan. Burqavaganza uses the  
burqa as a metaphor for
a society that thrives on double standards and covering up the truth. The  
entire cast, male and
female, wears a burqa. Burqavaganza goes toe to toe with the long standing  
obsession with the
burqa, face-veil, niqab, hijab, parda - and offers a side-splitting  
critique on rising
fundamentalism, political corruption, and the War on Terror. Banned in  
Pakistan by the National
Arts Council in 2010, Burqavaganza is a ground breaking political satire  
that provokes the
audience to rethink
