DESCRIPTION:Please join Scientists for Palestine\, in conversation with Imad Barghouthi\, renowned Palestinian astrophysicist\, father of five and Professor of Plasma Physics at Al Quds university (West Bank).\nAfter already spending many weeks in administrative detention\, he was eventually charged on the basis of his Facebook posts. Prof. Barghouthi then spent the next several months in administrative detention\, away from his students and family\, awaiting trial.Prof. Imad Barghouthi was recently released after nearly a year of administrative detention. After his arrest on July 22nd 2020\, he was held in jail for several weeks without charges. \nProf. Barghouthi’s arrest came at great cost to him personally\, and academically. Happening mere weeks before the semester started\, many students were left without a teacher and/or mentor. \nScientists for Palestine’s international campaign demanding Prof. Barghouthi’s release was joined by thousands of scholars worldwide\, including Nobel laureates and Fields medalists. \nWe now have the privilege of hosting Prof. Barghouthi’s first interview after his finally being freed. Join us to hear first hand about what it is like to be a professor in Palestine\, the infringements of the Israeli occupation on academic freedom and the enduring determination of Palestinian academics to overcome them. \nMore information here →

SUMMARY:Arab Film Series Online: Eleven Reflections on September
DESCRIPTION:Film available Thursday\, Sept. 9 – Thursday\, Sept. 16\nOnline Stream – Register for Free \nJoin the Arab Film Series Online for a special program Eleven Reflections on September by Andrea Assaf: A poetry\, music\, movement and digital media exploration of Arab American experience\, Wars on/of Terror\, and “the constant\, quiet rain of death amidst beauty” that each autumn brings in a post-9/11 world. The program will be accompanied by a discussion with the artist Andrea Assaf as well as Lubana Al Qantar\, moderated by Leila Buck\, available Sept. 13-16. \nBased on a series of poems Andrea Assaf has written since 2001\, Eleven Reflections spans the fall of the Twin Towers\, the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq\, the global rise of anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia\, and the revolutions and uprisings that have swept through the Arab world in the last decade. Aesthetically\, the poems explore the disintegration of language in the face of violence\, prejudice\, and unspeakable horror\, as they progress from lyrical to abstract and broken. \nThe annual witnessing of autumn leaves becomes a metaphor for the fallen…as we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11\, this ever-evolving tour de force finds new relevance and urgency. As an experimental work that lives at the intersection of live performance and digital media\, Eleven Reflections on September is beautiful\, haunting\, and truly genre-shattering. \n104 minutes / 2021 / United States / Experimental / English and Arabic with English subtitles \nPresented in partnership with Arab Film and Media Institute and ArteEast \nMORE INFO + RSVP

SUMMARY:ARCE Chicago: The Egyptian Game of Senet\, from the New Kingdom to Roman Time: Funerary Destiny\, Astronomy\, and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Information: \nThe game of senet is one of the most famous board games of Egyptian Antiquity. Attested from the 4th millennium BC\, it is characterized by its thirty squares. It was played by 2 players\, each one having 5 to 7 playing pieces\, whose progress obviously depends on fate—by the throwing of sticks or a pair of knucklebones—but also on strategy. This talk will re-evaluate the role usually attributed to senet in the funerary sphere in the New Kingdom\, and will discuss the evolution of the game during the first millennium\, when it seems more related to astronomical practices\, calculating time\, and perhaps\, medicine for the eyes. \n  \n(Please double check that I have the time right when you register!)

SUMMARY:Virtual screening of the documentary film "Lost Cities of Palestine" directed by Ramez Kazmouz
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this event. \nAbout the Film \nAn extraordinary insight into Palestinian life in the city before 1948\, revealing the loss of a culture and lifestyle. \nThe film\, directed by Ramez Kazmouz\, is 49 minutes. \nRarely seen archival footage accompanies memories and accounts of forgotten Palestinian cities and the catastrophic effect the creation of Israel in 1948 had on them. \nHaifa\, Nazareth\, and Jaffa have all been overshadowed by Tel Aviv\, but in their day each of the Palestinian cities had magnificent commercial and cultural ability. \nMade for Al Jazeera in 2011\, “Lost cities of Palestine” provides a rare opportunity to see Palestine as it was in the 30s and 40s and learn about the everyday life and culture of urban Palestine before 1948.

SUMMARY:ARCE PA: Reconstructing Egypt's East Frontier Defense Network in the New Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:About Lecture:\nExcavations in North Sinai beginning in the 1980s and the work at Tell el-Borg from 1999-2008 has uncovered a series of forts that were on the “Ways of Horus” and served as part of the defensive network of Egypt’s east frontier in the New Kingdom. Geological work has revealed the paleo-environment and ancient landscape that influenced the arrangement of the defensive system. Thanks to the new data\, new maps can be drawn to reveal how the east frontier defense network operated throughout the New Kingdom and how it thwarted the Sea Peoples invasion in Ramesses III’s reign.

SUMMARY:Virtual:  Building for Hope with Marwa al-Sabouni
DESCRIPTION:We can’t begin to say how delighted\, how grateful\, how honored we are to finally be able to present a program with author\, thinker\, architect\, Marwa al-Sabouni. If all goes well (In sh’Allah)\, she will be joining us at this special hour\,  virtually and ‘live’ from her home in Homs\, Syria to discuss her extraordinary new book\, Building for Hope: Towards an Architecture of Belonging (Thames & Hudson). Building for Hope comes five years after Marwa al-Sabouni’s first book\, The Battle for Home: The Vision of a Young Architect in Syria\, introduced the larger world to a writer uniquely adept at using words to convey ideas from books\, book-study\, life being fully lived (and wars survived) and from the physical spaces of buildings\, streets\, land-use patterns that do so much to shape how we live as individuals and as communities and countries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ambitious… Building for Hope is expansive\, abstract\, and at times extraordinarily idealistic… Al-Sabouni argues that architecture is a necessary agent for any kind of peace\, any possibility of belonging in our modern\, extremely polarized world… It’s especially enlightening to read about Western cities through the lens of an architect specialized in Islamic traditions… Building for Hope is dense and daring. Readers will finish with a list of people and places to investigate\, as well as with a firm belief that a better future lies in valuing community over ostentation\, coherence and decency over luxury\, truly livable cities over places designed purely for profit.” – World-Architects.com. \n“A gifted writer and illustrator\, al-Sabouni’s visionary ideas will inspire architects\, designers and urban planners across the world.” – Shahina Piyarali \, Shelf Awareness. \nYes\, the illustrations\, that language\, too. This is one not to be missed. \nSaturday\, September 25\, 2021 – 10:00am

SUMMARY:ARCE Georgia: A New Look at the Treasures of Tutankhamun’s Tomb
DESCRIPTION:When Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered in 1922\, the objects in it created a sensation. For decades the objects have dazzled the world and been the centerpiece of the Cairo Museum. Even so\, the circumstances of Tutankhamun’s death and burial have always raised questions. The construction of new museums in Egypt\, and the relocation of these objects\, has created a new opportunity for study of many of these objects. \nIn a lecture titled A New Look at the Treasures of Tutankhamun’s Tomb\, Dr. Robert Bianchi\, chief curator at the Ancient Egyptian Museum Shibuya [Tokyo] will focus on the reevaluation of objects from this most famous of tombs. \nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the American Research Center in Egypt and the Carlos Museum.

SUMMARY:ARCE PA: Revealing the Practice of Tattooing in Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:About Lecture:\nThe practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt is rarely attested. Egyptologists have identified tattoos on only a handful of mummies spanning Pharaonic Egypt’s more than 3\,000 year history. Textual evidence is virtually silent on the practice and art historical evidence is often ambiguous. In 2014\, the mission of the Institut Français d’Archéologie Orientale (IFAO) made an incredible find–an extensively tattooed mummy from the necropolis at Deir el-Medina\, the community of the workmen who cut and decorated the New Kingdom’s royal tombs. With over 30 tattoos\, this woman completely redefined what we knew about tattooing in ancient Egypt. The extensive use of Hathoric imagery in these tattoos further showed us the incredible amount of religious agency women could hold during a time when the title “priestess of Hathor” was not even attested. Since then\, we have used infrared imaging to identify dozens of new tattoos among the many unpublished human remains at the site. This talk presents the most recent findings from the bioarchaeological team of the 2019 and 2020 IFAO mission at Deir el-Medina. These additional tattoos indicate that many more individuals were likely tattooed at Deir el-Medina. Additionally\, the designs and placement of tattoos varied broadly. Coalescing the physical and art historical evidence\, this talk offers some of the most comprehensive evidence we have to date on the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt.

SUMMARY:Across Disciplines: Alia Ali & Tarek Yamani
DESCRIPTION:Virtual event\nFREE with RSVP \nJoin multimedia artist Alia Ali and musician/composer Tarek Yamani as the two artists of different disciplines interview one another\, discover unexpected connections\, and discuss each of their newest projects commissioned by UMS and AANM. \nAlia Ali (Arabic: عاليه علي // Sabean: ‎ 𐩲𐩱𐩡𐩺𐩲|𐩲𐩱𐩡) is a Yemeni-Bosnian-US multi-media artist. A child of migrant linguists\, Ali has traveled to sixty-seven countries\, lived in and between seven\, and grown-up among five languages. Her migrations have led her to process the world through interactive experiences and the belief that the damage of translation and interpretation of written language has dis-served particular communities\, resulting in the threat of their exclusion\, rather than a means of understanding. As an artist who exists on the borders of identifying as West Asian\, Eastern European\, a United States citizen\, queer\, culturally Muslim yet spiritually independent\, her work explores cultural binaries\, challenges culturally sanctioned oppression\, and confronts the dualistic barriers of conflicted notions of gender\, politics\, media\, and citizenship. Through her practice\, Ali critiques linguistics and inherited political structures and narratives\, while simultaneously attempting to counter the polarization and miscommunication that imperils communities across the world\, encouraging viewers to confront their own prejudices. \nTarek Yamani is an American-Lebanese New York-based composer and a self-taught jazz pianist dedicated to exploring relationships between African-American Jazz and Arabic rhythms/maqams. He is the recipient of awards such as the Givanas Foundation Grant\, Huygens Scholarship\, Andrea Elkenbracht Award\, Prins Bernhard Culture Fund\, Thelonious Monk Composers Competition Prize\, Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Residency\, New Dutch Composition Contest\, and Composer’s Platform Commission by the Abu Dhabi Festival. Tarek has been recently commissioned by UMS (Ann Arbor) to write a new piece for the genre-bending Spektral Quartet to be premiered on October 27th\, as part of the UMS Digital Artist Residency.

SUMMARY:We Will Remain: Street Art as Resistance from San Francisco to Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Oftentimes\, we see Palestinian resistance through protests\, advocacy campaigns\, and speeches. \nBut there is such a long and rich history of Palestinian resistance – and joy – through art – stitched flags on a thobe when Israel banned the Palestinian flag from flying during the Second Intifada\, to songs\, to vast murals on the apartheid wall. \nFrom San Francisco to Palestine\, artists are using public spaces to showcase their powerful artwork and messages of resistance. Learn from Palestinian artists about their work\, challenges they face in creating these public art pieces\,  and why they choose this powerful form of expression.

SUMMARY:Tatreez Workshops and Lectures by Tatreez and Tea  - Ongoing
DESCRIPTION:Your instructor is author and scholar Wafa Ghnaim\, founder of Tatreez & Tea! \nTatreez & Tea’s mission is to preserve Palestinian embroidery and storytelling traditions in the diaspora. Tatreez & Tea is the first of it’s kind. When Wafa first founded Tatreez & Tea in 2016\, she was the only educator solely focused on Palestinian embroidery\, traveling the US and the world. Now\, new local initiatives\, culture bearers\, “tatreez circles”\, and mentors are emerging from communities around the world like never before. The tatreez revolution has gained a beautiful momentum and now is the time to join. \nWafa’s goal in her educational classes are three-fold: educate students from art history and oral history perspectives that preserve the meanings\, stories and symbolism of traditional Palestinian embroidery motifs; teach versatile skills that allow students to eventually produce large independent projects; encourage students to become creative and grow beyond simply abiding by traditional embroidery principles. \nClick here for upcoming events! \nhttps://www.tatreezandtea.com/events

SUMMARY:University Book Store Presents: Laila Lalami in conversation with Dr. Anu Taranath
DESCRIPTION:Conditional Citizens: On Belonging In America (Pantheon Books) \nNovember 03\, 2021\, 6:00 PM (Pacific Time) Virtual \nFree \n\nUniversity Book Store is proud to present author and Pulitzer Prize-finalist Laila Lalami for a discussion about her new book Conditional Citizens. Laila will be joined in conversation with Dr. Anu Taranath\, Teaching Professor in the English and Comparative History of Ideas (CHID) departments at the University of Washington.\nThis is a free Zoom event but registration\, through the link provided\, is required to receive a Zoom code to join the Webinar. If you have any questions\, please email events@ubookstore.com. See you there! \nABOUT THE BOOK\nA New York Times Editors’ Choice • Finalist for the California Book Award • Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction • Best Book of the Year: Time\, NPR\, Bookpage\, Los Angeles Times \nIn this brilliantly argued and deeply personal work\, Pulitzer Prize finalist Laila Lalami recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S.citizen\, using her own story as a starting point for an exploration of the rights\, liberties\, and protections that are traditionally associated with American citizenship. Tapping into history\, politics\, and literature\, she elucidates how accidents of birth—such as national origin\, race\, and gender—that once determined the boundaries of Americanness still cast their shadows today\, poignantly illustrating how white supremacy survives through adaptation and legislation. Weaving together her experiences with an examination of the place of nonwhites in the broader American culture\, Lalami illuminates how conditional citizens are all those whom America embraces with one arm and pushes away with the other. \n\n\nLaila Lalami was born in Rabat and educated in Morocco\, Great Britain\, and the United States. She is the author of four novels\, including The Moor’s Account\, which won the American Book Award\, the Arab American Book Award\, and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her most recent work\, The Other Americans\, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Times\, The Washington Post\, The Nation\, Harper’s Magazine\, The Guardian\, and The New York Times. Lalami is a professor of creative writing at the University of California\, Riverside. She lives in Los Angeles. www.lailalalami.com

SUMMARY:Unlearn to Relearn: Shifting Attitudes for Arabs with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Nadwa (Public Conversation)\n  November 16\, 2021\n\n\nVirtual via Zoom \n\n\n\nDisability? Disabled? Special Needs? What language and framework do/should we use in the Arab Community? Join us for a discussion on disability in the Arab/American community! \nHistorically and traditionally\, people with disabilities across the globe have been systematically excluded and marginalized from all aspects of society. Although perspectives and attitudes about disability have changed in recent decades\, people with disabilities of color continue to face systemic and cultural barriers that deprive this community of accessing quality education and resources that will enable them to become valued members of society. In particular\, people with disabilities among Arab communities\, by large\, continue to face persistent and blatant oppression and barriers from living quality and humane lives. This webinar is the first of its kind. We will explicitly address long-term disability issues that have impacted Arab communities in the United States and the Middle East. The webinar aims to ignite new ways of thinking about disability and how all of us—both disabled and non-disabled alike—can begin to create a better society that promotes the basic principles of independence\, respect and dignity for Arabs with physical\, intellectual\, and mental health disabilities. \nFacilitators: \n\nAdnan Alaboudi\, International Disability Self Advocate\, Jordan\nMarina Salman\, Access Living Chicago\nRanda Abdelrahim\, PhD Candidate Disability Studies\, UIC\n\nReal-time live captioning will be provided. For questions\, additional information\, and/or accessibility contact us at arabamcc@uic.edu \nEvent is co-organized by the Arab American Cultural Center and the Disability Cultural Center \nSpeaker bios: \nAdnan Alaboudi is a person with disabilities (dual bottom amputation above and under the knee). Adnan is the Executive Director of the Landmines Survivors Network from 1999-2008 and a member of the Committee for Drafting of the International Convention on Human Rights with Disability in the United Nations.

Adnan is the coordinator of awareness and promotion programs in the Supreme Council for People with Disabilities in Jordan 2009 – 2017. \nMarina Salman serves as the SOAR case manager for the Colbert Transition Program at Access Living Chicago where she helps individuals living in long-term care facilities reintegrate back into their communities after their recovery. She is also involved in numerous advocacy efforts that focus on the intersectionality of race and disability\, which includes healthcare and criminal justice reform. Marina completed her Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a focus in Sport and Health Psychology from Adler University in Chicago. She is an Arab American woman with multiple disabilities who looks to empower Arabs with disabilities to live meaningful lives through the power of education and experience. \nRanda Abdelrahim is a visiting research specialist at the department of disability and human development\, University of Illinois Chicago and a PhD candidate of disability studies. As an Arab American immigrant\, Randa is interested in examining contextual factors of disability across immigrants and minority groups. Her research focuses on how multiple personal and social factors such as gender\, culture\, race\, and income contribute to disparities in accessing health care and disability services for people with disabilities and their caregivers. Her advocacy work includes supporting people with disabilities with a focus on those who identify as Arab. She is currently a member of the Disability and Immigration Taskforce of Illinois.

SUMMARY:The Nakba and its Generational Impact on Palestinian lives: Memory\, Identity\, and a Future rooted in Justice
DESCRIPTION:The Foundation for Middle East Peace & Project48 invite you to join \nThe Nakba and its Generational Impact on Palestinian lives: Memory\, Identity\, and a Future rooted in Justice \nFriday\, November 19th\, 2021 \n10:30am – 11:45am ET \nFeaturing Palestinians who lived through the 1948 Nakba and their descendants: \nNida El-Muti\, Dina El-Muti\, and Hasan Hammami \nIn conversation with Peter Beinart (FMEP Non-resident fellow) \nRSVP here \nThe Nakba\, the displacement of over 750\,000 Palestinians from their homeland from 1947-49\, is among the root causes of the conflict in Palestine-Israel and critical to understanding the failure of the decades-long “peace-process\,” and the level of justice and reparations required to achieve a sustainable future. We will hear the personal stories of those who survived the ethnic cleansing of their cities and villages\, and learn from them and their descendants how the trauma of the Nakba and Israel’s ongoing policies of erasure have shaped their lives. We’ll also ask about their visions for the future\, what justice looks like\, and how they sustain connections to their homeland from the diaspora. \nParticipants: \nNida El-Muti: Born in Jericho to Fatima Radwan\, a survivor of the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre\, Nida was raised in Ramallah and at sixteen immigrated to New Jersey with her mother. Nida put herself through school at Rutgers University\, earned a masters in human physiology and worked at Robert Wood Johnson in the department of microbiology\, and at Rutgers medical school as a senior technologist in the IVF program. For fifteen years\, Nida taught anatomy and physiology at  Eastern Illinois university. She is currently retired and living in Chicago. \nDina El-Muti: Born in Denton\, TX\, Dina grew up in a small town in East Central Illinois\, and is now a recent transplant back to Texas\, specifically\, Houston. The granddaughter of Fatima Radwan\, who lived through the 1948 Nakba\, Dina is the mother of two little boys and a trauma clinician who has worked for organizations including Defence for Children International\, Palestine (DCI-P)\, the Treatment & Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture (TRC)\, and various social service organizations serving children who have experienced early childhood trauma. Dina attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for undergrad and earned a masters in social work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dina grew up on the hyphen: both Palestinian and American\, on a steady diet of Edward Said\, Malcolm X\, and her grandmother Fatima’s timeless stories that fundamentally changed the trajectory of her life and work. \nHasan Hammami: Born in Jaffa\, Palestine in 1932\, Hasan was educated at the Christian Brothers College in Jaffa until he was forced to flee on a cargo sailboat at age 15\, with 3000 people\, during the Nakba. At 18\, after 3 years at the National College of Choueifat and the American University of Beirut\, Hasan had to abandon his education to help support his family by working for the oil company Aramco in Saudi Arabia\, where he lived in a desert labor camp. He completed his engineering education at the University of Nottingham\, England and joined Procter and Gamble where he launched manufacturing operations in Iraq and Saudi Arabia\, and with increasing responsibilities led large projects in several parts of the world. Father to three daughters and a step-son living on 4 continents\, Hasan has served organizations such as the Arab American Association and the Palestine Human Rights Campaign\, among others\, focusing on civil and human rights for all\, advancement of Arab Americans and Interfaith work. A US citizen for 37 years\, a citizen of the world for nearly 70\, and with 25 country moves behind him\, Hasan\, now 89\, continues to grow & share as a retiree in Florida. \nPeter Beinart is Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace. He is also a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York\, a Contributing opinion writer at the New York Times\, an Editor-at-Large at Jewish Currents\, and a CNN Political Commentator.
