SUMMARY:Excavating Dangeil: Royal Statues and Sacred Rams
DESCRIPTION:Register by clicking here.\n\nJoin Dr. Julie Anderson for an exploration of the Dangeil archeological site.\nExcavations at Dangeil\, located close to the Nile in what is now central Sudan\, have uncovered a previously unknown 1st century CE temple dedicated to the god Amun. Earlier rulers discovered there in a statue hoard include the celebrated Kushite Pharoah Taharqo. This is one of many discoveries at Dangeil throwing unexpected light on African history from antiquity into the medieval period and later.\n\nDr. Julie Anderson is responsible for curating the Sudanese and Nubian collections of the British Museum. Excavating at numerous sites in Egypt and Sudan since 1987\, her research interests include daily life and material culture in the Nile valley and surrounding deserts. Since 1997\, she has co-directed archaeological excavations in Sudan together with the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums (NCAM) in the Berber-Abidiya region. Her current fieldwork is concentrated upon the late Kushite site of Dangeil (3rd century BC – 4th century AD)\, situated approximately 350km north of Khartoum\, where excavation of a large Amun temple\, surrounding temenos enclosure and associated cemetery is underway. Currently\, she is the Honorary Secretary for the International Society for Nubian Studies and for the Sudan Archaeological Research Society.\nThis program is presented in partnership with the American Research Center in Egypt.\n\n\n1:00 p.m. EST — 7:00 p.m. EET \n\n\nPlease help the NAC support artists. By making a donation with your registration\, you contribute directly to the NAC Artist Fellows program\, helping to further the careers of up-and-coming artists.\nThis program will be hosted via Zoom. You will receive additional details upon registration.\nAll images copyright Berber-Abidiya Archaeological Project.

SUMMARY:Movie screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising\, a Just Vision documentary\, with the Deputy Director and a Producer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nJoin Museum of the Palestinian People for a special film screening and discussion of Naila and the Uprising with Just Vision’s Deputy Director\, Emma Alpert and one of the film’s producers\, Rula Salameh. \nNaila and the Uprising is a documentary film about a nation-wide uprising that breaks out in the Occupied Palestinian Territories\, and the story of a young woman in Gaza who must make a choice between love\, family\, and freedom. Undaunted\, she embraces all three\, joining a clandestine network of women in a movement that forces the world to recognize the Palestinian right to self-determination for the first time. Naila and the Uprising chronicles the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines\, whose stories weave through the most vibrant\, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s. You can watch the trailer\, here. \nThe film will be available for registrants to view at their own convenience prior to our discussion with Emma and Rula on Zoom on Friday\, August 28 at 12pm EDT.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talks - Documentary Photography
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this event. \nLaura Boushnak is a Kuwait-born Palestinian photographer based in Sarajevo\, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her work mainly focuses on the Arab world\, looking at issues that she finds stem from her own personal experience of gender\, education\, and aftermath of war. \nAfter receiving a degree in Sociology from the Lebanese University in Beirut in 1999\, Boushnak infused her interest in social issues with her passion for the visual arts and began her career as a photographer for the Associated Press in Lebanon. She then went on to work with the Agence France-Presse (AFP) at its Middle East hub in Cyprus and its headquarters in Paris. During this nine-year span\, Boushnak’s experience included covering hard news in conflict zones such as the war in Iraq and the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.

SUMMARY:The Goddess Isis and the Kingdom of Meroe - ARCE Members Only
DESCRIPTION:The Goddess Isis and the Kingdom of Meroe\n\n\nDr. Solange Ashby\n\n2:00 PM Illinois/12pm PST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussions of the widespread appeal of the cult of Isis in antiquity often omit any mention of the Nubian priests who served the rulers of the Kingdom of Meroe (located south of Egypt in the Sudan) and the royal donations of gold that they delivered to the temple of Isis at Philae\, located at Egypt’s border with Nubia. Those funds were essential to the survival of the temple of Philae\, allowing it to remain in active use for centuries after other temples had been abandoned in Egypt. I will describe the rites performed by the Nubian priests and their participation in a tradition of Nubian pilgrimage to this site that spanned one thousand years. \nAs a Black Egyptologist it is important to me to investigate the southern connections that are evident in the ancient religious practices of Egypt. Much work remains to be done to highlight these connections. \n\nThis online lecture is available exclusively to active ARCE members. To register\, click here.\nRegistration is required and closes 48 hours before the event.\nBiography of Solange Ashby: \nSolange Ashby received her PhD in Egyptology\, with a specialization in ancient Egyptian language and Nubian religion\, from the University of Chicago. She has researched in Egypt at the temple of Philae and participated in an archaeological excavation in El-Kurru\, Sudan (royal Kushite cemetery). Her first book\, Calling Out to Isis: The Enduring Nubian Presence at Philae\, was released in July by Gorgias Press.  Her current research explores the roles of women in traditional Nubian religious practices. Dr. Ashby is working on the first monograph dedicated to the history\, religious symbolism\, and political power of the queens of Kush.
