SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Regional Distinctions in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Late 19th/Early 20th Centuries\n\nDate: Friday\, July 18\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nDescription: Until the mid-twentieth century\, the dress of the Palestinian people was descriptive of identity; first by societal segment (city dweller\, villager or nomad)\, and then by the region in which the wearer came. Within each regional style\, finer distinctions in women’s dress (thobe) were expressed that shared the maker’s life and the natural world around her. Palestinian women recorded their identity in their thobe with embroidery (tatreez) through a shared illustrative language of embroidered patterns\, stitching techniques and thread colors. The thobe records unwritten stories and serves as a visual register of collective and individual identities\, documenting a woman’s village\, tribe or town\, her marital status\, her familial lineage\, and the material impact of colonialism\, occupation\, war and exile. The regional identity of the woman defines the overall governing style of her thobe\, and evidence of identity is largely through her embodiment of land. \nThis lecture will discuss the regional distinctions in dress in historical Palestine by city\, village and tribe for at least six regions\, to include Ramallah\, Galilee\, Gaza\, Bir Saba\, Al Khalil\, and Bethlehem. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session

SUMMARY:Seattle International Film Festival:  To A Land Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Mahdi Fleifel\, who made the great documentary A World Not Ours (SIFF 2013) about the Ein el-Helweh refugee camp in Lebanon\, where his parents were born\, returns to the Festival with his fiction debut\, To a Land Unknown. \nThe refugees in this story have made out of their camp and travelled to Athens\, where they are stranded en route to Germany. Chatila is clever and resourceful\, and it falls to him to come up with a plan; Reda\, his cousin\, is sweet but hapless\, owing in part to a weakness for drugs. To raise the money they need for fake passports\, they resort to increasingly desperate crimes: stealing\, sex work\, human trafficking. To sustain themselves\, they nurture the fantasy of the café they plan to open in Germany\, where Chatila’s wife will cook\, and they’ll make enough money to bring the rest of their family\, currently stuck in the camp. \nWhile films about refugees are not uncommon\, what sets this film apart is the way the director puts us squarely in Chatila and Reda’s shoes as they try to figure out how to reach their final destination\, how to keep themselves alive in the meanwhile\, and how to do it all without losing their humanity in the process.
