SUMMARY:“When We Were Arabs – Memory\, Erasure and Cultural Connections” Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Diverse expressions of historical memory persist and gain meaning despite nationalist projects to minimize diversity in pursuit of an imaginary homogeneity that in truth exists practically nowhere in the world. The fact that such attempts at erasure are responsible not only for cultural amnesia\, but for denial of common cultural experiences that would foster acceptance instead of rejection. This workshop will place two works of historical memory into conversation. Coincidentally\, two authors representing two culturally related but geographically distant societies gave their books the same title: When We Were Arabs to invoke that claim of identity (Cuando Fuimos Arabe). They are Emilio González Ferrín\, University of Seville\, and journalist Massoud Hayoun based in Los Angeles. This conversation\, moderated by educator Dr. Rabiah Khalil\, will explore the persistence of memory and affirm the value of recognizing shared roots and accepting the richness of our diversity. \nThis program is sponsored by Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies\, Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding\, the Arab American National Museum and Montgomery College Office of Advancement and Community Engagement \nThis program is made possible by a Title VI grant from the United States Department of Education\, which is funding a National Resource Center on the Middle East at Georgetown University\, and by support from the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown and the Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. \nFor more questions\, e-mail Dave Serio at DSerio@accesscommunity.org

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.

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: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: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: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.

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.
