SUMMARY:Mercer Island Art Walk: SZ Gallery: I'm Still Alive
DESCRIPTION:During this (Frist) Friday MI Art Walk\, stop by the SZ Gallery with a spirit of empathy & sense of curiosity\, as you explore and learn from Palestinian and Arab Artists. \nIn gratitude for and collaboration with the Zawyeh Gallery\, SZ Gallery commits to giving voice to Palestinians and their experiences\, focusing on their humanity\, through creative expressions of art & culture. \nAfter losing his home and studio in Gaza City in October\, Maisara Baroud began drawing his diaries under the devastating Israeli genocidal war. He hasn’t ceased drawing since losing his “personal little world” to destruction\, along with all his paintings\, tools\, books\, and precious memories. Through his paintings\, he documents displacement\, brutal bombardment\, the fear of loss\, and the anxiety of protecting loved ones. Baroud says\, “I draw to tell my friends that I am still alive.” – Excerpt by Rana Anani \n

SUMMARY:Mary Ann Peters: the edge becomes the center
DESCRIPTION:The following description comes from the event organizer. \nSeattle artist Mary Ann Peters (born 1949\, Beaumont\, Texas) has attended to overlooked narratives for almost forty years\, interpreting her research through mediums including painting\, sculpture\, and installation. Peters unearths hidden diasporic histories\, often through travel\, and contextualizes them within her experiences of the contemporary Middle East as a second-generation Lebanese American. the edge becomes the center brings together the artist’s series this trembling turf for the first time and presents it alongside a new installation—works that together surface the ways forgotten and repressed pasts shape present experience. \nthis trembling turf features ten abstract drawings\, including one from the Frye’s collection\, which the artist crafts by applying thin strokes of white ink to black clayboard. The series interprets natural habitats where activity occurs beneath the surface\, with rhythmic patterns referencing sound waves used by archaeologists to uncover buried traces of civilization. These intricate drawings imagine the missing records of populations and cultures physically covered over\, reminding us that forgotten histories could be buried below us\, lost within our collective memory. \nThe exhibition’s new site-specific installation continues the artist’s ongoing impossible monuments series\, works of disparate materials and forms that memorialize disregarded details of socio-political events. Peters writes\, “I define an impossible monument as something that deserves reverence but by virtue of its incidental nature would never be elevated to the status of a monument.” Together\, these bodies of work ask viewers to consider which narratives are written into history and which are erased.

SUMMARY:Bombino at the Blue Grass Festival in Portland
DESCRIPTION:Four thousand years of living in a hostile environment taught the Tuareg that the will to survive with dignity intact is stronger than any external threat.  Bombino puts that sentiment to music\, writes its anthem\, and gives it a life of its own. He is known as being emblematic of the next generation of Tuareg\, a new voice of the Sahara and Sahel\, fusing traditional Berber rhythms with the energy of rock and roll and songs about peace. After years of drought\, rebellion\, and tyranny\, Bombino extols his audience to remember who they are\, but also realize who they can be. \n— \nBombino’s life and travels have exposed him to the problems facing his people. He has taken on the mission of helping the Tuareg community achieve equal rights\, peace\, maintain their rich cultural heritage and promote education. He is an advocate for teaching children the Tuareg language of Tamasheq\, the local Haoussa language as well as French and Arabic\, all of which he speaks fluently.  “We fought for our rights\,” remarks Bombino\, “but we have seen that guns are not the solution. We need to change our system. Our children must go to school and learn about their Tuareg identity.”
