SUMMARY:Home Away FROM HOME: Julian Pena Gallery
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to being of Middle Eastern descent and living in the U.S.\, one’s life experience includes regularly facing varying degrees of prejudice and discrimination. While these people feel grounded and a sense of belonging in their homes where their identities and cultures are very much alive\, they are forced to confront feelings of otherness when they step outside whether it’s through receiving judgmental glances\, harsh words or physical violence. With eyes on the outside\, Middle Easterners who live in other parts of the world experience these struggles indirectly; feeling an instinctive connection to those in the U.S.\, they are affected by what they see and hear on the news or social media. “Home Away From Home” exhibits original work by artists of Middle Eastern descent living in the U.S. and abroad who attempt to explore themes of underrepresentation\, isolation and racism while navigating the physical and emotional disconnect between themselves\, their cultures and the places they call home.

SUMMARY:Amir Zaki "Empty Vessel" - Online Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:James Harris Gallery is pleased to present our seventh exhibition by California artist Amir Zaki. Comprised of two bodies of work\, collectively entitled\, “Empty Vessel\,” the series features striking colorful photographs of both skateboard parks and broken ceramic vases. Together\, these images open a discussion of the history and future of photography and duplicitous version of truth in the modern world. In his work\, Zaki strives to disrupt common notions of authenticity\, monumentality\, and documentation through a hybridization of techniques. The two disparate series are connected through real and fictive space illuminating the truth between the everyday and the ideal. The gallery will mount virtual exhibitions until the next location of our physical space is announced in the fall of 2021. \nDownload the press release \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWORKS IN SHOW\nABOUT THE ARTIST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmir Zaki\nA firm believer in the transformative power of the photographic image\, Zaki images are rooted in the history of the medium and uses it to shed light on the means of representation. Over the last 16 years\, Zaki has pushed the physicality of the photograph’s two dimensional construct\, allowing it to exist on its own and also exploring its own object-ness.   In order to capture and record the original site\, Zaki’s representations depict the complexity of place in terms of interactive evolving experience\, an ongoing ecological intervention. The artist responds to the shifting contemporary landscape where nothing is permanent\, constructing his own visual language to illustrate an entire mythology of place. \nAmir Zaki lives and works in Southern California. He received his MFA from UCLA in 1999 and has been exhibiting nationally and internationally since graduating. He is a full professor at the University of California at Riverside. His work is included in many museum collections including the Hammer Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, New Museum of Contemporary Art\, Orange County Museum of Art\, Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, and the Whitney Museum of American Art\, among others.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian: ntroduction to Palestinian Thobe Embroidery: Panel Design
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, Palestinian women have gathered with their daughters to work collectively on embroidery projects\, bonding with one another over a cup of tea. Guided by Wafa Ghnaim\, who began her training in embroidery with her mother at age 2\, learn the history of the traditional Palestinian thobe\, as well as the basic cross-stitch on waste canvas. \nThe skirt of a Palestinian thobe typically features heavily embroidered panels that give the skirt a mural-like quality. The panels can be heavily ornamented for special occasions. \nStudents of all skill levels are introduced to panel patterns and learn how to stitch them onto denim using waste canvas. Waste canvas allows artisans to adorn any piece of cloth or clothing and is an important skill to master in order to create traditional Palestinian embroidered garments. \nThis class combines detailed instruction on how to complete a small panel segment using the Cleopatra design on waste canvas with discussion of the pattern’s meaning and history.

SUMMARY:Tatreez Workshops and Lectures by Tatreez and Tea  - Ongoing
DESCRIPTION:Your instructor is author and scholar Wafa Ghnaim\, founder of Tatreez & Tea! \nTatreez & 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. \nWafa’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. \nClick here for upcoming events! \nhttps://www.tatreezandtea.com/events

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Sampler Series:  Tatreez
