SUMMARY:The Magical Writer: QTIPOC Authors Dissect Magic Realism
DESCRIPTION:As a genre\, magic realism feels like a blessing and a curse. It offers space to marginalized folks to tell their stories without feeling triggered by it\, and open space for a richer approach to imagination. Yet\, it also feels like a stamp of approval for us to reach a wider audience\, an evaluation of the magical Indian\, the capable Black\, the exotic Arab\, or the mysterious Asian troupes. \nIn this panel\, we will be discussing the origin of the term\, asking ourselves if we identify with it\, and looking at the relationship between QTIPOC authors and the way the term is understood by the mainstream White\, heteronormative society. \nCurator Danny Ramadan brings together some of the most exciting voices in Canada: Joshua Whitehead (Johnny Appleseed\, Making Love with the Land)\, Larissa Lai (The Tiger Flu\, Iron Goddess of Mercy)\, and Rasiqra Revulva (Cephalopography 2.0). \nCurated and moderated by Danny Ramadan

SUMMARY:Rusha Latif with Isma'il Kushkush
DESCRIPTION:This virtual program brings to readers here (everywhere) the work of Rusha Latif\, a San Francisco Bay area writer/researcher and a first-generation Egyptian American. Travels and research undertaken in Cairo a decade ago and since have now become her new book\, Tahrir’s Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution (American University in Cairo Press). \n“As its excellent subtitle indicates\, this book debunks many myths related to the so-called leaderless revolutions through meticulous fieldwork investigation of the young leaders of Egypt’s 2011 uprising in its Cairene epicenter. It is a much-needed contribution to the study of the twenty-first century’s pattern of uprisings\, showing how a popular movement that goes beyond an ephemeral explosion of anger is necessarily led by more than a virtual network.”―Gilbert Achcar. \n“In a moment characterized by the revival of authoritarian regimes and democratic setbacks\, this book is a welcome analysis that puts youth activism in post-2011 Egypt in a revealing historic\, sociological\, and political perspective. Using primary sources\, including in-depth interviews with the youth leaders of the January 25 Revolution\, Latif’s work offers indispensable insights into the mobilization strategies and trajectories of the youth groups that resisted three successive regimes between 2011 and 2013. Her book powerfully explains how youth activism has forever changed Egyptian politics.”―Amr Hamzawy. \n“Rusha Latif . . . embedded herself with young activists and writes about what the world can learn from a defeated revolt.”―Leila Fadel\, NPR. \nIsma’il Kushkush will join Rusha in conversation. He is a journalist who has contributed to The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The Nation\, CNN\, the Associated Press (AP)\, Guernica Magazine\, and others. He has covered political\, economic\, social and cultural stories from Sudan\, South Sudan\, Kenya\, Ethiopia\, Somalia\, Burundi\, Sweden\, Israel the Palestinian territories and the United States. He is currently based in Khartoum\, Sudan.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Yousr Shaltout
DESCRIPTION:Yousr Shaltout is an Egyptian /Lebanese medical student and Tatreez artist based in New Jersey. Yousr is self taught\, and first fell in love with the art as well as its political and cultural significance four years ago. In 2021\, Yousr was awarded the NJ Council of the Arts Folk Arts Apprenticeship Grant. Under the apprenticeship\, Yousr created her first thobe under the mastery of Wafa Ghnaim of The Tatreez Institute (Tatreez & Tea). Yousr’s next project is to design\, sew\, and embroider a thobe for her medical school graduation in 2024 as the culmination of her skills in the craft. It will combine the various styles of embroidery from Palestine and those from her roots in Lebanon\, Egypt\, and Syria to showcase that Tatreez is an art form shared across the Arab world with distinct regional and cultural styles and motifs. \nYousr is the proud owner of a small business selling tatreez patterns and tatreez inspired items. You can support her work at tatreezing.etsy.com or by following her journey at her Instagram @tatreezing. \nLearn more about Yousr’s thobe project and concept\, by registering to this artist talk.

SUMMARY:"Unruly Jewels - Neither Muslim Nor Jewish" by the Zay Initiative (online)
DESCRIPTION:Ariella Aïsha Azoulay\, joins Dr Reem El Mutwalli & Salma Ahmad Caller for a Dialogue “Unruly Jewels – Neither Muslim Nor Jewish” \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nAriella Aïsha Azoulay joins Dr Reem El Mutwalli & the founder of the Imaginarium postcard project\, artist and art historian Salma Ahmad Caller for a dialogue on “Unruly Jewels – Neither Muslim Nor Jewish” \nLooking at some photographs\, postcards and jewels\, Azoulay will question the investment of the French colonial project in the de-algerisation and de-arabisation of the Jews in Muslim countries. One of the signs of their “success” in turning the indigenous into “modern type” was the withdrawal of the Jews from wearing heavy jewels and clothing with gold thread embroidery\, through the production of these gold threads and jewels was a craft Jews used to practice for centuries. The disappearance of the jewels from their bodies was not a simple change in mode\, but rather a disruption of a world in which craft and craft making was essential for world building and for world maintenance\, and was embedded in guilds that were part of social fabrics of mutual care. \nOUR GUEST SPEAKERS: \nAriella Aïsha Azoulay\, professor of Modern Culture and Media and Comparative Literature (Brown University)\, film essayist and curator of archives and exhibitions. Her books include: Potential History – Unlearning Imperialism (Verso\, 2019)\, Civil Imagination: The Political Ontology of Photography (Verso\, 2012)\, The Civil Contract of Photography (Zone Books\, 2008). Among her films: Un-documented: Unlearning Imperial Plunder (2019)\, Civil Alliances\, Palestine\, 47-48 (2012). Among her exhibitions Errata (Fundació Tàpies\, 2019\, HKW\, Berlin\, 2020)\, and Enough! The Natural Violence of New World Order\, (F/Stop photography festival\, Leipzig\, 2016). \nSalma Ahmad Caller was born in Iraq to an Egyptian father and a British mother and grew up in Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. She now lives in the UK. An artist\, art historian and writer\, Salma considers herself a disruptive body\, a hybrid of cultures and faiths. Her work explores her mixed- race identity\, cross-cultural experiences\, text/image relationships and forms of embodiment\, materiality and memory\, drawing on personal intimate family histories and vulnerability as a way to destabilise larger narratives. Uncanny juxtapositions and hybrid forms are used to investigate how the private and political collide and intertwine\, using techniques of collage\, assemblage\, drawing\, watercolour\, photography\, projection\, installation/sound and more recently film. Salma also writes art theory\, poetry and creative non-fiction. Her theoretical background in research on the meanings of ornament in non-Western cultures through frameworks of anthropology of art and cognitive science/physiology\, are used to decolonise and break down boundaries\, categories\, typologies and terminology that characterise hegemonic colonial and patriarchal formations. With a Masters in art history and art theory\, and a background in medicine and pharmacology\, and several years teaching cross-cultural ways of seeing via non-Western artefacts at Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford\, she now works as an independent artist and teacher.

SUMMARY:Arab American and Muslim Representation
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to ParentChild+’s virtual series Windows\, Mirrors & Doors\, where children’s book authors\, educators\, and advocates will lead us in a compelling discussion on Arab American and Muslim representation in children’s literature. The discussion will shine a light on the impact representation has on the well-being and social-emotional development of Arab American and Muslim children.  It will highlight the importance of all children and families learning about Arab Americans and the many continents\, countries\, cultures\, and religions they represent; Muslim families and the many countries and cultures they represent; the importance of Arab and Muslim children seeing themselves in the books they encounter; the ways in which we can equip parents and caregivers to access these books and stories and share them with the children in their lives\, and how we can all advocate for improvements in Arab American and Muslim representation.

SUMMARY:Reviving The Jericho ‘Thobe Ubb’
DESCRIPTION:Date/Time: October 22\, 2-3:30pm EST \nFormat: Virtual Event \nFee: Sliding Scale $10 or $20 \nThe SWANA Style Saturday Series is a lecture series focused on exploring the traditional dress of cultural communities living in SWANA (Southwest Asia & North Africa). The aim of this series is to bring awareness to styles that have generally been left out of the historical record\, however have great historical origination stories. Our cultural memory must preserve this knowledge for the next generation. \nJericho is the oldest continuously inhabited area in the world. Today\, it is the last Palestinian city before crossing the Allenby Bridge to Jordan. Geological and geographic factors have contributed to its long history of survival and an ideal place for settlement\, making it a source of envy and coveted possession for invaders who have seen Jericho as the key to controlling Palestine. In the oldest continuously inhabited place on earth\, what is the oldest traditional dress worn by the residents? And\, is it still being worn today? \nLearn the answers to these questions\, and more\, at the next installment of SWANA Style Series\, titled “Reviving The Jericho ‘Thobe Ubb’. Learn about Wafa’s most recent discovery of the Thobe Ubb at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City\, a treasure that has yet to be identified in the museum’s catalogue. \nPlease note that you are welcome to register for the lecture and watch the recording at a later time\, because it will be recorded and sent to all registrants within 24 hours of the live event. However\, the recording will be available for a limited time.

SUMMARY:"Madafeh": Hanan Awad\, photographer\, essayist (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Event Occurs Every Sunday-Register Once; Attend All. \n\nThe program begins at 12 Noon US EDT; 7:00 PM Palestine Time.\nPlease join us for a virtual session of open discussion about Palestinian topics. \nPlease click here to register for this event. \nIn 1948\, the year of al-Nakba or “the catastrophe”\, over 750\,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homeland through militarized displacement resulting in the depopulation and destruction of over 400 Palestinian villages. Each village has a unique story regarding the specifics of how it was attacked and how its inhabitants were forcibly expelled. For the most part\, the villages were totally destroyed – leaving only a few that stand to this day. Ayn Hawd and Ayn Karem are these unique cases of villages escaping the brutal destruction that sought to erase the physical signs of the Palestinan presence throughout the region. While the houses and buildings of these two villages were left standing\, the actual Palestinian inhabitants were displaced and are forbidden to return. The stories of Ayn Karem and Ayn Hud are critical for understanding the situation in Palestine as one of settler-colonialism.
