Say hello to an old friend, and meet someone new. Do wander around and look, but also enjoy each other’s company. Thank you for taking the time to experience aspects of American culture through art. With that, I’d like to again let you know how pleased I am to host you here this evening. These three paintings remind me of what President Biden said last year – about how as a nation we “need to make equity and justice part of what we do every day - today, tomorrow, and every day.” And these paintings also remind me that the work continues to this day – the importance of working towards racial equality, to be sure, but also gender equality, and the inclusion of people with disabilities. But they also represent the spirit to overcome seemingly impossible trials and tribulations. These incredibly brave, smart, courageous Americans highlight the most egregious period in American history, one that reverberates to this day. My college classmate Tim Nielsen painted these three famous American abolitionists – Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Sojourner Truth. I also hope you’ll visit some very special paintings in the dining room. The sculpture “Easter,” by my stepfather Norm Buktenica, brings back childhood memories of growing up in North Dakota and shines brightly as a symbol of renewal. Kathleen Stafford, an American who worked at the International School here for some years, paints beautiful watercolors with distinctly West African subjects, including the Chinguetti mosque.

My former neighbor Jim Walker, a professional photographer for the Smithsonian, took the ten awe-inspiring photos of the Washington DC area, showing the splendor of the American capital, both inside and out. My home states of Minnesota and North Dakota are beautifully depicted in landscapes by Harriet Rosenbaum and Reginald Marsh. I selected pieces of art for this exhibition that were personal to me.

Please feel free to take photos of them and publish with the hashtag #ArtinEmbassies. If you have not seen all of them, I invite you to discover them in the dining room, living room and foyer. They display the beauty and strength of both countries. Today we are exhibiting 20 pieces of art that were curated especially for this residence, taking the U.S.-Mauritanian relationship into consideration. My hope is that people who have never visited the United States can personally experience the depth and breadth of our artistic heritage and values. This is mom’s 3rd visit to Mauritania, and each time she comes back, she tells me again how much she appreciates the generous Mauritanian hospitality.Īrt in embassies was established in 1963, with a goal of creating temporary exhibitions, and publications like this one – please take one with you this evening – to provide international audiences with a sense of the quality, scope, and diversity of American – and Mauritanian – art, and culture. Kierscht, who is visiting from Minnesota. And I’m so pleased to introduce you to my mom, Dr. I’ve been looking forward to having you all to my home for this vernissage for quite some time. Welcome! Thank you so much for being here tonight.
