Abstract	Diana Al-Hadid's sculptures reflect the many locations, cultures, histories, and mythologies that have shaped her as an artist. In large-scale works which have the appearance of architectural ruins, Al-Hadid employs imagery drawn from many diverse interests including science and technology, history, and literature. She also incorporates images and narratives rooted in the historical and cultural contexts of her upbringing in the American Midwest and her birthplace in the Middle East. Because of these rich connections to her background, Al-Hadid's artwork is a catalyst for developing a dialogue with students about their various personal or cultural heritages. This article presents exercises wherein students will study two sculptures by Al-Hadid and consider how their individual and cultural pasts can be represented in art. Then, they will collaborate on a large-scale, location-specific sculpture which represents their collective past. (Contains 6 figures, 5 endnotes and 1 online resource.) (ERIC).
