SUMMARY:Virtual:  Building for Hope with Marwa al-Sabouni
DESCRIPTION:We can’t begin to say how delighted\, how grateful\, how honored we are to finally be able to present a program with author\, thinker\, architect\, Marwa al-Sabouni. If all goes well (In sh’Allah)\, she will be joining us at this special hour\,  virtually and ‘live’ from her home in Homs\, Syria to discuss her extraordinary new book\, Building for Hope: Towards an Architecture of Belonging (Thames & Hudson). Building for Hope comes five years after Marwa al-Sabouni’s first book\, The Battle for Home: The Vision of a Young Architect in Syria\, introduced the larger world to a writer uniquely adept at using words to convey ideas from books\, book-study\, life being fully lived (and wars survived) and from the physical spaces of buildings\, streets\, land-use patterns that do so much to shape how we live as individuals and as communities and countries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ambitious… Building for Hope is expansive\, abstract\, and at times extraordinarily idealistic… Al-Sabouni argues that architecture is a necessary agent for any kind of peace\, any possibility of belonging in our modern\, extremely polarized world… It’s especially enlightening to read about Western cities through the lens of an architect specialized in Islamic traditions… Building for Hope is dense and daring. Readers will finish with a list of people and places to investigate\, as well as with a firm belief that a better future lies in valuing community over ostentation\, coherence and decency over luxury\, truly livable cities over places designed purely for profit.” – World-Architects.com. \n“A gifted writer and illustrator\, al-Sabouni’s visionary ideas will inspire architects\, designers and urban planners across the world.” – Shahina Piyarali \, Shelf Awareness. \nYes\, the illustrations\, that language\, too. This is one not to be missed. \nSaturday\, September 25\, 2021 – 10:00am

SUMMARY:P&P Live! Rabih Alameddie —The Wrong End of the Telescope - in conversation with Aminatta Forna
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 26\, 2021 – 5 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will stream online as a part of P&P Live! Series \nMina Simpson\, a Lebanese doctor\, arrives at the infamous Moria refugee camp on Lesbos\, Greece\, after being urgently summoned for help by her friend who runs an NGO there. Alienated from her family except for her beloved brother\, Mina has avoided being so close to her homeland for decades. But with a week off work and apart from her wife of thirty years\, Mina hopes to accomplish something meaningful\, among the abundance of Western volunteers who pose for selfies with beached dinghies and the camp’s children. Soon\, a boat crosses bringing Sumaiya\, a fiercely resolute Syrian matriarch with terminal liver cancer. Determined to protect her children and husband at all costs\, Sumaiya refuses to alert her family to her diagnosis. Bonded together by Sumaiya’s secret\, a deep connection sparks between the two women\, and as Mina prepares a course of treatment with the limited resources on hand\, she confronts the circumstances of the migrants’ displacement\, as well as her own constraints in helping them. \nNot since the inimitable Aaliya of An Unnecessary Woman has Rabih Alameddine conjured such a winsome heroine to lead us to one of the most wrenching conflicts of our time. Cunningly weaving in stories of other refugees into Mina’s singular own\,The Wrong End of the Telescope is a bedazzling tapestry of both tragic and amusing portraits of indomitable spirits facing a humanitarian crisis. \nRabih Alameddine is the author of the novels The Angel of History; An Unnecessary Woman; The Hakawati; I\, the Divine; Koolaids; and the story collection\, The Perv. In 2019\, he won the Dos Passos Prize. \nAlameddine will be in conversation with Aminatta Forna\, the author of the novels Ancestor Stones\, The Memory of Love\, The Hired Man\, and Happiness\, as well as the essay collection The Window Seat and memoir The Devil That Danced on the Water. Forna’s books have been translated into twenty two languages. Her essays have appeared in Brick\, Freeman’s\, Granta\, The Guardian\, Kenyon Review\, Literary Hub\, The New York Review of Books Daily\, The Observer\, and Vogue. She is currently Director and Lannan Foundation Chair of Poetics at Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice at Georgetown University. \nClick Here to register for this event. \nSunday\, September 26\, 2021 – 5 p.m ( I believe this is Eastern Standard Time\, please double check when you register)
