For The Continuing Presence of the Past: Wijdan Ali’s Karbala Series: Hussein: What significance do you attach to the black border and the red-orange ground of Wijdan’s piece?
What will be an ideal response?
Responses might vary widely as to the significance of both the black border and the red-orange background of the painting. The best responses, however, will focus on the association of black with mourning, as the painting commemorates the death of Hussein and all other past, current, and future Karbalas. The red-orange evokes both the desert landscape of the Middle East and the splatter of blood against sand and mud surfaces that is associated with the violence of these tragedies.
