SZ Gallery: Weaving Stories by PICHA, a book exhibit
2025-01-10 - 2025-01-31 | SZ Art Gallery, 2441 76th Avenue SE, Suite 160, Mercer Island, WA
SZ Gallery continues to feature Palestinian and Global South Artists to amplify their distinct and diverse voices, putting their humanity on display through an artist’s lens. It’s important that we showcase indigenous cultural experiences, in order to dispel dangerous stereotypes and dehumanizing propaganda. Our hope is for viewers to not only take refuge in the beauty, resilience and strength of the work, but to also offer prompts for empathetic and meaningful conversations about the art and culture of peoples around the world.
SZ Gallery proudly presents Weaving Stories by PICHA, a book exhibit celebrating the unique perspectives of Afrocentric communities, that also reveal the universal truths that connect us all.

BOOK SIGNING: Friday, February 7, 5 – 8PM

Arabic-English Language Exchange: Meet Up
2025-01-25 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Cafe Umbria – Pioneer Square, 320 Occidental Ave S, Seattle, WA, United States
كل سنة وأنتم بخير/Happy New Year!
Let’s meet late Saturday morning for some coffee and a chat in Arabic! Then we’ll head over to SOUK, a pop-up market for Arab artists and makers.
Yalla see you soon!
This group was born out of a seeming lack of in-person Arabic language exchanges and/or cultural events in Seattle. Whether you’re a beginner or fluent in Arabic and/or English, come join our Arabic-English Language Exchange Meetup group! Connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for Arabic language and culture.
The core of this group will be focused on language exchange, but we can keep our eye out for any cultural events in Seattle (like film screenings, food, etc.) relevant to Arabic, too.
