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:Kimchi for Gaza: Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Community! We (several Koreans living on Coast Salish lands)\, are doing a kimchi fundraiser to raise money for Crips for eSims and Operation Olive Branch’s Direct Aid Initiative\, two organizations working to help Gazans stay online and receive direct aid. \nKimchi is available for pre-order at https://tinyurl.com/kimchiforgaza (in bio) and is $15 – $30+ sliding scale per quart\, with pick-up in Seattle\, Tacoma\, and Olympia between Nov. 26 and Dec. 7. Two options are available: traditional (which contains fish sauce and fermented shrimp) and vegan. Both options are gluten free. Those who donate at the $30 level will receive a randomly selected perk\, which may include ceramics\, prints\, or stickers. \nThe kimchi sold for this fundraiser will be hand made by us as we gather for a gimjang\, the Korean autumnal tradition of making kimchi together in community. Gimjangs represent collective care and nourishment\, and it is how families have shared the burden of preserving that year’s harvest into kimchi\, to sustain each other through the wintertime. It is one of the ways we have learned to love each other. \nWe gather and work together holding the Palestinian people in our hearts. We gather and work knowing that our community spans the globe\, and that the small intimate acts of care we can offer here can reach across seas. As we jar this kimchi together\, we hold the memory of all those who have been martyred\, and continue to fight for a free Palestine and a world free of colonial violence. \nFurther details for the fundraiser can be found at https://tinyurl.com/kimchiforgaza. Fundraiser will likely close on November 24.

Each program brings together Arab American artists from separate regions of the U.S. This tuning of diasporic forms through music and performance reveals the complexity of our cultural references through the instruments\, the approaches and conversations that ensue.

SUMMARY:National Book Award Winner: Lena Khalaf Tuffaha
DESCRIPTION:Lena Khalaf Tuffaha reads from Something About Living\, her National Book Award-winning third poetry collection.\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please help us plan for audience size by RSVPing here. \nIt’s nearly impossible to write poetry that holds the human desire for joy and the insistent agitations of protest at the same time\, but Lena Khalaf Tuffaha’s gorgeous and wide-ranging new collection Something About Living does just that. Her poems interweave Palestine’s historic suffering\, the challenges of living in this world full of violence and ill will\, and the gentle delights we embrace to survive that violence. Khalaf Tuffaha’s elegant poems sing the fractured songs of Diaspora while remaining clear-eyed to the cause of the fracturing: the multinational hubris of colonialism and greed. \nThis collection is her witness to our collective unraveling\, vowel by vowel\, syllable by syllable. “Let the plural be a return of us” the speaker of “On the Thirtieth Friday We Consider Plurals” says and this plurality is our tenuous humanity and the deep need to hang on to kindness in our communities. In these poems Khalaf Tuffaha reminds us that love isn’t an idea; it is a radical act. Especially for those who\, like this poet\, travel through the world vigilantly\, but steadfastly remain heart first. —Adrian Matejka\, author of Somebody Else Sold the World \nLena Khalaf Tuffaha is a poet\, essayist and translator. She is the author of Water & Salt (Red Hen)\, winner of the 2018 Washington State Book Award\, Kaan & Her Sisters (Trio House Press)\, finalist for the Firecracker Award\, and Something About Living (UAkron\, 2024)\, a finalist for the 2024 National Book Award and winner of the 2022 Akron Prize for Poetry. Her writing has been published in journals including Los Angeles Review of Books\, Michigan Quarterly Revie\, the Nation\, Poets.org\, and Prairie Schooner and in anthologies including The Long Devotion and We Call to the Eye and the Night. She was the translator and curator of the 2022 series “Poems from Palestine” at the Baffler magazine. She is currently curating a year-long subscription of Palestinian poetry books with Open Books\, Seattle’s poetry-only bookstore. For more about her work\, visit www.lenakhalaftuffaha.com
