In support of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2010, Dorothy’s Gallery in collaboration with the Embassy of Afghanistan in France presented a remarkable exhibition, ‘Voices on the Rise : Afghan Women Making the News – Des voix qui portent : l’actualité par des femmes afghanes’ in Paris (from March 4 to April 11, 2010). Max Dana visited the exhibition and she was very enthusiastic about it so we decided to mention the ...

Whether you are into religious celebrations or not, Easter is fun (eating chocolate -milk, dark, semisweet, bittersweet, unsweetened…). Easter egg Sama hunt even more. So we decided to hide an Easter Sama on the Sama Gazette. If you find it, you will have a glimpse at a never-before-seen drawing by Max Dana, photographed from her very own Moleskine she mentioned on her blog: My Moleskine, Cary Grant, some Asti Spumante and a Goldorus. Dear Sama ...

March 22 was World Water Day and if you are still not aware about what this day is about (even though it’s clearly self explanatory), then you should know that water affects every aspect of our lives, yet nearly one billion people around the world don’t have clean drinking water, and 2.6 billion still lack basic sanitation. World Water Day, celebrated annually on March 22, was established by the United Nations in 1992 and focuses attention on ...

  Last Monday was the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day. Many events were organized in many countries, and our last Twitter Sunday updates were dedicated to Women for Women and CARE. Yesterday, Max Dana posted an article on her blog: – ‘International Women’s Day: Ordinary Extraordinary Women” . Many Sama-Readers sent us emails and commented to know if Max was doing something special for Women’s Day; the ...

This post is for all the fans of Max Dana‘s work who want to know more about her inspiration, where it comes from and who inspires her. Working with her and knowing her well, we are supposed to know many things about her work but we are far from knowing everything. For example, we of course know she likes black (in her drawings, her paintings… and in what she wears) but we learned a lot from her recent post on her Blog. It is about ...

  If you are a regular reader of The Sama Gazette (aka a Sama-Reader), then you probably already know the Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society.  It has been a while since we first mentioned it on the Gazette and many of you are very interested in the idea of a Sama Epicurean Fraternal Society. We also are. And we are working on it, as the information already leaked from a careless but still beloved Sama Team member (it starts with an ...

Today is Friday, some of us have already left the office and when we read Max Dana‘s latest post published on her blog yesterday, we thought it would make a perfect Friday update. Max talks about a great short movie directed by Claude Lelouch in 1976. And we agree, if you have never seen it before, go buy or rent the DVD!   “How did I forget to mention ‘Rendezvous’? I enjoy gun scenes in movies (From Scarface to Smokin’ Aces: the art ...

  Last week, we posted an article: Haiti: International Aid Mobilization On The Way. Like everyone, we wanted to react about the earthquake that devastated Haiti and express our compassion and our solidarity with the Haitians. There is not one day we do not talk about it and yesterday, Max Dana published on her Blog titled: ‘Haiti: compassion, communication, occupation… Education?’.   This article is worth to read if you want to go ...
