SUMMARY:ARCE DC: Excavating a Frontier Fortress: Uronarti\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:The fortifications at Uronarti in Lower Nubia were among a string of massive monuments built by the kings of Egypt’s 12th dynasty when they established control over this gold-bearing region. \n\nWhile the fortresses were imposing military monuments\, they were also locations of interaction between the Egyptian garrison and local Nubian populations\, as well as places of domestic and production activities. Since 2012\, a joint mission of Brown University and Swansea University has been conducting an excavation and survey at Uronarti and the surrounding area to address questions of both colonialism and daily life at this outpost. \n\nThis talk will present recent finds from that project\, including one of the best-preserved ancient Egyptian pottery kilns yet known\, a settlement of stone huts outside the fortress\, and construction layers from the earliest phase of the site that highlight the impressive engineering necessary to conquer this forbidding landscape. \n\nEmail us at arce.dc.news at gmail dot com for a link to register for \nthis event. \n\nRegistration is required\nPresented by: Dr. Laurel Bestock \n\n1:00 PM EDTWashington\, DC

SUMMARY:Arab Film Series Online: Bloody Beans + Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Arab Film Series Online: Bloody Beans + Talkback\nFree Online Stream | Suggested $5 Donation – Register \nThis July\, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Algerian Independence from France\, Arab Film Series presents Bloody Beans\, an experimental take on the Algerian War by Narimane Mari. This program is accompanied with a recorded discussion with the filmmaker. \nShot on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Algerian independence\, (the film) is based on a loose\, improvisational script about a group of children who\, fed up with their monotonous diet of beans\, decide to steal food from the French military barracks and end up capturing a young French soldier as well. This allegory of the Algerian War of Independence is enacted on the beach and within the populous neighborhoods of today’s Algiers\, where almost half the population is under twenty-five years of age and largely unemployed. In a powerful mix of past (the struggle against French occupation) and present (the struggle of young people to survive)\, the film addresses the emotional realities of colonialism and contemporary forms of disenfranchisement.\, which sees the conflict played out by a group of vibrant children. Incorporating unique lighting and sound\, the film is a complex exploration of colonial powers and the fight for freedom. \n77 Minutes / 2013 / Algeria / Experimental / French and Arabic with English subtitles \nFor questions\, e-mail Dave Serio at dserio@accesscommunity.org.

SUMMARY:The Middle Eastern theatre of World War I : Online Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will outline and discuss how World War I affected the Balkans and the Middle East\, in such long-standing campaigns as the Serbian Campaign\, the Dardanelles Campaign\, the Caucasus Campaign\, the Palestine Campaign\, the Arab Revolt\, and the Mesopotamian Campaign. We will investigate how the Ottoman Empire entered the war\, how Middle Eastern soldiers participated in the conflict\, and how those experiences would affect the aftermath of the war. \n  \nNote: This episode will not discuss the Ottoman internal situation during the war (including the situation in eastern Anatolia) which will be discussed in the next week and will not discuss the more famous Western and Eastern Fronts in Europe as those are outside of the Middle East focus of this series. \n  \nThe Middle Eastern theatre of World War I saw action between 29 October 1914 and 30 October 1918. The combatants were\, on one side\, the Ottoman Empire (including Kurds and some Arab tribes)\, with some assistance from the other Central Powers; and on the other side\, the British (with the help of Jews\, Greeks\, Assyrians and the majority of the Arabs\, along with Indians under its empire)\, the Russians (with the help of Armenians and Assyrians) and the French from among the Allied Powers. There were five main campaigns: the Sinai and Palestine Campaign\, the Mesopotamian Campaign\, the Caucasus Campaign\, the Persian Campaign\, and the Gallipoli Campaign. There were also several minor campaigns: Arab Campaign\, and South Arabia Campaign. \nBoth sides used local asymmetrical forces in the region. On the Allied side were Arabs who participated in the Arab Revolt and the Armenian militia who participated in the Armenian Resistance during the Armenian genocide; along with Armenian volunteer units\, the Armenian militia formed the Armenian Corps of the First Republic of Armenia in 1918. In addition\, the Assyrians joined the Allies following the Assyrian genocide\, known as the Assyrian volunteers and Our Smallest Ally. The theatre covered the largest territory of all theatres in the war. \nRussian participation in the theatre ended as a result of the Armistice of Erzincan (5 December 1917)\, after which the revolutionary Russian government withdrew from the war under the terms of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (3 March 1918). The Armenians attended the Trabzon Peace Conference (14 March 1918) which resulted in the Treaty of Batum on 4 June 1918. The Ottomans accepted the Armistice of Mudros with the Allies on 30 October 1918\, and signed the Treaty of Sèvres on 10 August 1920 and later the Treaty of Lausanne on 24 July 1923. \n

SUMMARY:Free virtual screening of the documentary film "Aida Returns\," directed by Carol Mansour
DESCRIPTION:We will be screening a 20 minute-condensed pre-release version of the film. The film screening will be followed by Q&A discussion with Carol Mansour\, film director\, and Muna Khalidi\, producer. Click the title above for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAIDA RETURNS – أمي العائدة إلى يافا\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is a poignant\, sometimes sad\, sometimes painful\, sometimes humorous\, often absurd story of a multiple journey: the journey of loss as the director’s mother Aida struggled with losing herself to Alzheimer’s disease\, but finding solace in her repeated “returning” to the Yafa and Palestine of her youth; the journey of the loss of a parent; and the ultimate return journey back to Yafa where Aida would finally find rest and be herself once more. \nClose to four years after Aida’s passing away\, the director’s friend and colleague Tanya who lives in Ramallah came to visit Beirut. When she heard about Aida’s wishes and yearning for Yafa\, Tanya suggested that she herself carries the ashes back. The film accompanies director Carol Mansour as she engineers a way to return her mother to Yafa in search of eternal rest and peace for her. A return that is aided by an unlikely set of friends and strangers all coming together to facilitate what should have been a simple journey. This journey is at the same time very private and personal\, while resonating with hundreds of thousands of Alzheimer’s sufferers and their families as well as hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees awaiting their return home. \nThis film is a tribute to the lost past of the director’s family\, an attempt to restore part of both an individual and a collective memory\, and a poetic nod and affirmation to all those exiled Palestinians forbidden from returning to their hometowns\, even after death. \n\n\nClick here to watch the film trailer. \nClick here to register for this event. \nWe will be screening a 20 minute-condensed pre-release version of the film.
