SUMMARY:Windows/Shababeek: A Sukoon Virtual Reading
DESCRIPTION:Windows/Shababeek: A Sukoon Virtual Reading\n\n\nAANM presents a Sukoon bilingual live reading around the theme of Windows/Shababeek\, curated and hosted by Sukoon founding editor Rewa Zeinati\, and featuring an incredible lineup of Arab writers and poets: Zeyn Joukhadar\, Zeina Hashem Beck\, Philip Metres\, George Abraham\, Sahar Mustafa\, Zeina Azzam (Arabic) and Farah Chamma (Arabic).\n\nWe’ve spent the last several weeks observing life go back and forth to stillness\, isolation\, fear or healing\, all through the windows of our homes (if we are privileged enough to have them). We’ve pondered other people’s lives existing behind their own windows. What joy or confusion or horror was multiplied? Join us for this bilingual poetry and fiction virtual live reading in collaboration with Sukoon\, exploring—in the most broad or intimate sense—the various and infinite ways we interpret the barriers\, filters or open fields we call “windows” and how these inform the light and shadows we allow or dissipate.\n\nThis virtual reading will be streamed live on AANM’s Facebook page\, so be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event to be notified and tune in when the livestream goes up.

SUMMARY:Protest/Protect: A Sukoon Virtual Reading
DESCRIPTION:6 p.m. EDT Monday\, July 27\, 2020\nProtest/Protect: A Sukoon Live Reading\nFree\nRSVP to Facebook event \nIn collaboration with Sukoon\, AANM presents a live reading around the theme of “Protest/Protect\,” co-curated and hosted by Sukoon founding editor Rewa Zeinati\, with performers Aja Monet\, Chaun Ballard\, Safia Elhillo and Layla Azmi Goushey\, and music from Ian Fink. \nIn all 50 states and across the world\, protests have been erupting. Why do we protest? Why do we question? Why do we create? To dismantle systems of injustice and oppression\, and to reimagine a future in which we may exist more fully. We also do it to preserve\, protect and remember what’s rightfully ours: to live a life in dignity. As demonstrations continue across the country in response to long-standing issues of systemic racism and injustice\, “Protest/Protect” honors the global uprisings of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Through this event\, we will hold space for writers and activists to express the struggles\, experiences and victories of the ongoing protests in the fight for freedom. \nThis virtual reading will be streamed live on AANM’s Facebook page\, so be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event to be notified and tune in when the livestream goes up.  \n  \nAja Monet is a surrealist blues poet\, storyteller and organizer born and raised in Brooklyn\, NY\, who follows in the long legacy and tradition of poets participating and assembling in social movements.

SUMMARY:Queen Naija at Marymoor Park
DESCRIPTION:As a little girl growing up outside Detroit\, Queen Naija started singing in church at the age of three and writing her own songs in third grade. Although she kept up with her singing and songwriting as she got older—and even cut a few records in a local studio—her focus shifted when she and her former husband found fame online with their wildly popular YouTube channel. But when their marriage fell apart last year\, Queen returned to her lifelong passion and released a powerfully unapologetic single that shares her side of the story.
