*//What have we been up to last semester?//*

While working on his commissioned assignment for Humanity House in The Hague, our classmate Marwan Bassiouni went looking for beauty and created The Ghost of the Sultan. We asked him what he learned along the way.

'I think that there's enough negativity in the world as it is. While working on the Sultan project I learned that the role of a documentary photographer can also be to seek and perceive beauty, and then to give form to it. In my definition beauty requires meaning, truth and goodness. It is vital and worth struggling for. The Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish once said that "Beauty can be a form of resistance".'

'The Ghost of the Sultan' is an installation of golden framed photographs with a text by Reverend Henry Christmas.
By mixing color and black and white, digital and analog photography, the 19th century Ottoman Sultan Abdelmajid I returns to life in order to remind us of the virtues required from an inspiring leader. Considering numerous ideas we have about the muslim religion today I wanted to emphasize that the essence of the religion of Islam should be – and always has been – peace. The word ‘Islam’ actually comes from the same root word as ‘peace’ (السلام).

Sultan Abdelmajid I may symbolize this peaceful essence. During his rule of the Ottoman Empire he undertook numerous reforms in favor of peaceful coexistence and equal rights for muslims and non-muslims. Noteworthy of his humanitarian approach is the great compassion he showed when donating a very large sum of aid money to the Irish during the Great Famine (1845-1850).
