about aflamuna
aflamuna (our films) is an initiative launched by a group of arab filmmakers and film institutions, led by Beirut DC. During these hard times – and hopefully long after they’ve passed – we will be bringing you some of the best, most thought-provoking and independently-minded works of contemporary Arab cinema to enjoy for free on this website for a limited time. A new issue will be released (at least) every 15 days.

Tatreez Workshops and Lectures by Tatreez and Tea
2020-09-01 - 2020-12-31
Your instructor is author and scholar Wafa Ghnaim, founder of Tatreez & Tea!
Tatreez & Tea’s mission is to preserve Palestinian embroidery and storytelling traditions in the diaspora. Tatreez & Tea is the first of it’s kind. When Wafa first founded Tatreez & Tea in 2016, she was the only educator solely focused on Palestinian embroidery, traveling the US and the world. Now, new local initiatives, culture bearers, “tatreez circles”, and mentors are emerging from communities around the world like never before. The tatreez revolution has gained a beautiful momentum and now is the time to join.
Wafa’s goal in her educational classes are three-fold: educate students from art history and oral history perspectives that preserve the meanings, stories and symbolism of traditional Palestinian embroidery motifs; teach versatile skills that allow students to eventually produce large independent projects; encourage students to become creative and grow beyond simply abiding by traditional embroidery principles.

Israeli bureaucracy filled with suspicion and a menacing Palestinian society makes their life a nightmare.

Commemorating the Detroit Arab Workers Strike for Palestine
2020-11-28 14:00 - 16:00
NOV 28: “Commemorating the Detroit Arab Workers Strike for Palestine” virtual panel hosted by our Detroit chapter!

On November 28th in 1973, 2,500 Arab auto workers SHUT DOWN production at Chrysler’s Dodge Main assembly plant near Detroit, in a historic wildcat strike called for by the Arab Workers Caucus. The strike resulted in the first ever “BDS” victory in U.S. history — successfully demanding UAW divest from their State of Israel bonds (over $300k purchased with union dues money).

You don’t want to miss this event featuring a panel of 3 distinguished speakers who will discuss what took place during the strike, the political context and organizing that made it possible, as well as important lessons for our movements today.

Speakers List
GEORGE KHOURY – Nakba survivor, long-time Detroit based Palestinian leftist, labor and community organizer, and leading member of US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN)
JEROME SCOTT – Founding member of League of Revolutionary Black Workers member, member of LRNA, board member of General Baker Institute
MIKE SIVIWE ELLIOT – former Detroit auto worker, retired leader of UAW Local 551, member of Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CAARPR)
Moderated by Julia Kassem and Danya Zituni of USPCN-Detroit
