Bittar's image of Jacob Wrestling with the Angel is quoted from Eugène Delacroix at the Chapel of San Sulpice in Paris. Watching Jacob 3 shows how the narrative of the Arab watching the struggle may be emphasized or disappeared.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Doris Bittar's immersive and improvisational installation, COLONIAL COLONNADE premiering at the Arab American National Museum on November 9-10, 2023, merges the English and Spanish languages with the Arabic language to explore diasporic realms. COLONIAL COLONNADE encourages interpretation by various creatives and the general public. "Textual Dances" shows how dancer Nadia Khayrallah and oud player Clarissa Bittar interpret the installation. COLONIAL COLONNADE will be on view from November 9, 2023 to June 2024. Reception night is on November 10th when Nadia and Clarissa will perform. For more information on other events and workshops hosted by Doris Bittar and Nadia Khayrallah check out the Arab American National Museum [https://arabamericanmuseum.org] in Dearborn, Michigan, just down the street from Detroit.</image:caption>
