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.

SUMMARY:Tatreez Workshops and Lectures by Tatreez and Tea
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:Conditional Citizens: Laila Lalami in conversation with Alexander Key
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be American? In this starkly illuminating and impassioned book\, Pulitzer Prize Finalist Laila Lalami recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S. citizen\, using it as a starting point for her 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\, or gender–that once determined the boundaries of Americanness still cast their shadows today. Throughout the book\, she poignantly illustrates how white supremacy survives through adaptation and legislation\, with the result that a caste system is maintained\, keeping the modern equivalent of white male landowners at the top of the social hierarchy. Conditional citizens\, she argues\, are all the people whom America embraces with one arm\, and pushes away with the other. Brilliantly argued and deeply personal\, Conditional Citizens weaves together the author’s own experiences with explorations of the place of nonwhites in the broader American culture.

SUMMARY:Conversation: JUSTICE IS POLITICAL (NOT HUMANITARIAN): WHAT PALESTINIANS DEMAND FOR GAZA 
DESCRIPTION:JUSTICE IS POLITICAL (NOT HUMANITARIAN): WHAT PALESTINIANS DEMAND FOR GAZA\nThursday\, October 15 1 pm ET/10 am PT \nJustice cannot wait. Ahead of the second presidential debate\, Palestinians in the US plan to reiterate this and other critical demands for justice: to end military funding to Israel and allow Palestinians their internationally-recognized right to return to their occupied homes. Congress’ responsibility to Gaza is political\, not humanitarian. A humanitarian approach seeks to apply a bandage to a gaping wound that should instead be healed through justice in policy: ending US complicity in Israel’s siege of Gaza. Only when Palestinian voices are centered in determining their futures can their hopes for freedom and justice can be realized. Join expert Palestinians and progressive allies to discuss policy demands that aim to stop the roots of the violence on Gaza by removing US support for Israel’s ongoing violations of Palestinian rights. \nRegister to join this critical conversation. \nThis event can be viewed here: https://m.facebook.com/MPowerChange/videos/justice-is-political-not-humanitarian-what-palestinians-demand-for-gaza/2442304769409778/
