Not to be confused with the boxing legend, Mohammed Ali is a UK graffiti artist who has won an Arts Council Diversity Award for his work.  Fusing graffiti art with Arabic script, Mohammed’s work challenges social consciousness and the negative perception of Islam. In Melbourne, he made a mural on saving water based on the Hadith. In Chicago, Mohammed began a mural but was asked by the local firemen to stop. (Arabic script reminded them of September 11.) He decorated the walls of his native Birmingham after the conflict in Gaza ignited earlier this year.

Mohammed makes his Malaysian debut from 5–8 July at the Knowledge & Arts Tour 2009. Organised by the Young Muslims Project, Mohammed will work with local graffiti group Phobiaklik to create a public mural on 7 and 8 July at Kompleks Rakan Muda Bukit Kiara from 10am to 6pm. Drop by www.youngmuslimsproject.org for updates. To get a taste of Mohammed’s artworks, visit www.aerosolarabic.com.

Which type of reality show glues your eyes to the screen?
  Weight loss or image building, like the Biggest Loser Asia! Go Aaron!
  Talent-scouting! I'm a fan of Akademi Fantasia, One in a Million, So You Think You Can Dance... (and uh, American Idol)
  Artsy-fartsy stuff with some sob story thrown in, a la Miami Ink.
  Game show types. The suspense kills me! Deal or No Deal with the babes... Mmm!
  Next Top Model! Full of drama (and tips, since I'm aspiring to be one)
  Anything with Hilton, Kardashian and Lohan in it. Ridiculously decadent and scandalous!
  Blood, sweat and tears: The Amazing Race Asia!
  Gory, glory and hilarity! Fear factor and Wipe Out FTW!
  I watch the news. How's that for reality?
  Gawd, my life is one big drama by itself! Any more and I swear I'll shoot myself.
