...While the lives of the CCAA artists were shaped by the terrors of war and oppression under the warlords, the Soviet and the Taliban, their creations are unashamedly exuberant and political. Often full of color and strong in contrasts, they speak of the desire for liberty, peace, and social justice - especially for women. "Shining even through that which is narrow and dark ... is the belief in the effect of artistic expression," comments Claus-Peter Haase from the Museum for Islamic Art in Berlin.

...worth and the victors beam as they hear their national anthems. But what happens when the athletes don't know the lyrics - or even the language? Though they're required to hold Georgian citizenship to compete under Georgia's flag in the Olympics, the Brazilian-born athletes barely speak a word of Georgian and have no family ties to the former Soviet republic. In fact, they've only visited the country a few times - to pick up their passports and presumably to finalize their contracts. But that hasn't dampened their enthusiasm for their adopted country. When "Geor...
