SUMMARY:Not So Simple! Translating Young Adult Literature as Resistance and Entertainment with Sawad Hussain
DESCRIPTION:There is a common misconception in literary publishing that books for children and young adults are “simple” and are\, therefore\, easy to translate. But translating literature for younger people is not simple at all. How does the process of “curating” young people’s literature involve translators’ negotiation with the expectations of English-language editors and publishers? How might translation of young people’s literature into English function as a form of decolonization and resistance? What are the sensitivity issues that are particular to publishing young adult literature? Should young adult literature in translation be handled like highbrow adult literature in translation\, like “ordinary” YA literature\, or something in between? And\, finally\, does the original language of the book or its country of origin affect these calculations? Join the panel of three distinguished translators—Sawad Hussain (Arabic)\, Shelley Fairweather-Vega (Russian and Uzbek)\, and Takami Nieda (Japanese)—for an engaging discussion of these issues. \n  \nSawad Hussain is a translator from Arabic whose work has been recognised by\, among others\, The Warwick Prize for Women in Translation and the National Book Award for Translated Literature. Recent releases include a co-translated sci-fi YA title (I Want Golden Eyesby Maria Dadouch) and a murder mystery YA novel (The Djinn’s Apple by Djamila Morani). A former Co-Chair of the Translator’s Association (UK)\, she is committed to mentoring literary translators and developing the industry in general. \n

SUMMARY:Contemporary Translated Works Book Group: Sand-Catcher by Omar Khalifah\, Translated by Barbara Romaine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group – Now Monthly! \nMechanics’ Institute\, in partnership with the Center for the Art of Translation and our new presenting partner\, Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum\, is thrilled to announce the expansion of the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group into a monthly\, member-led series! Beginning Spring 2025\, we will host lunchtime discussions (12:00–1:00 pm PT) online via Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month\, featuring thought-provoking literary selections from around the world. \nFour young\, Palestinian journalists at a Jordanian newspaper are tasked\, on account of their heritage\, with profiling one of the last living witnesses of the Nakba\, the violent expulsion of native Palestinians by the nascent state of Israel in 1948. The old man has no desire to be interviewed\, no desire for his memories to be preserved\, no desire to serve as an inspiration for the youth of tomorrow. As threats from the team’s editor-in-chief put more and more pressure on the journalists\, they must decide just how far they’re willing to go to get the old man on the record. \nJoin us at 11:30 AM for a Q&A with the translator before the discussion at 12:00 PM. \nFree to Folio members.\nLearn more and get tickets >> \nOrder Sand-Catcher >>

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: The Timeless Thobe – Documenting Land\, Heritage & Culture in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, May 24\, 2025\n\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nThe thobe\, a traditional hand embroidered dress made and worn by Palestinian women for centuries\, is the bedrock of Palestinian identity through heritage\, culture and land. For millennia\, women in the eastern Mediterranean have showcased their skillful stitchery on their traditional dress\, displaying unique motifs\, colors and styles across the various villages of old Palestine. \nAfter 1948\, over 750\,000 Palestinians were forced into exile\, carrying their dressmaking and embroidery traditions with them into refugee camps and around the world. As the diaspora spread across the globe\, the largest and longest-standing population of displaced people in the world\, the thobe evolved into a symbol of national and cultural identity beyond borders. \nIn this live virtual lecture\, dress historian\, researcher\, and educator Wafa Ghnaim will explore the evolution of the thobe and the visual language of tatreez (embroidery) as used on traditional Palestinian dress. From village styles to diasporic adaptations\, this talk offers a compelling look at how dress documents the intertwined threads of history\, memory\, and identity. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nTickets are nonrefundable.\nThis is a live\, virtual event hosted via Zoom.\nRegistration closes at 10:00 AM EST on May 24\, 2025.\nA Zoom link will be sent via email the day before the event.\nThe instructor reserves the right to review and decline registrations at her discretion to ensure a respectful and safe learning environment for all participants.\nSpace is limited to ensure an intimate and interactive experience.\nSharing your camera is required.

SUMMARY:Free Film Screening: Israelism
DESCRIPTION:Two young American Jews travel to Israel seeking a deeper understanding of the country they were raised to love. What they encounter profoundly impacts them\, leading them to join a growing movement to redefine their community’s relationship with Israel in this challenging and emotional journey. Join us for the free screening of this film. \nAbout the film\nTwo young American Jews – Simone Zimmerman and Eitan – are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel‘s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes\, they are horrified and heartbroken.\nThey join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism\, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives their synagogues and Hebrew school teachers fed them as children. \nThe film also features voices like Jacqui\, a Jewish educator who says “Judaism is Israel and Israel is Judaism”\, and former Anti-Defamation League President Abe Foxman\, who claims voices like Simone and Eitan’s represent a small minority. Thought leaders like Peter Beinart\, Jeremy Ben-Ami\, Noura Erakat\, Cornel West\, and Noam Chomsky also weigh in. \nDirected by two first-time Jewish filmmakers who share a similar story to the film’s protagonists\, Israelism is produced by Peabody-winner and 4-time Emmy-nominee Daniel J. Chalfen (Loudmouth\, Boycott)\, executive produced by two-time Emmy-winner Brian A. Kates (Marvelous Ms. Maisel\, Succession) and edited by Emmy-winner Tony Hale (The Story of Plastic)\, Israelism uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically\, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself.

SUMMARY:Announcing: Resistance Arts\, a Conversation with El-Funoun (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Announcing: Resistance Arts\, a Conversation with El-Funoun\nSaturday\, July 12 | 10AM Pacific\, 1PM Eastern\, 8PM Palestine \nThe struggle for Palestine lives in every form of resistance\, including art. Widely considered the lead Palestinian dance company in Palestine and the diaspora\, El-Funoun was established in 1979 by a small group of enthusiastic\, creative and committed artists. The Troupe has developed an innovative style of dance deeply-rooted in Palestinian and Arab folklore and informed by elements of contemporary dance movement. A leading cultural institution in Palestine\, El-Funoun has used dabke\, music\, and cultural work as tools to confront erasure and resist the zionist occupation\, making them and their dancers a continuous target of imprisonment and repression by the zionist entity. \nJoin the PYM’s Resistance Arts Committee for a discussion with El-Funoun that is rooted in political clarity\, history\, and the realities we face now. We will be exploring: \n– What do we mean by resistance arts in the Palestinian context?\n– How did El-Funoun turn culture into a site of struggle\, from choreography built inside prison walls to stages across the world?\n– What does it mean to build and defend Palestinian cultural institutions today\, both under occupation and in exile? \nLink to register for the webinar: https://bit.ly/PYMxEl-FunounWebinar \nYou don’t want to miss this!

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: Regional Distinctions in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Late 19th/Early 20th Centuries\n\nDate: Friday\, July 18\, 2025\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nDescription: Until the mid-twentieth century\, the dress of the Palestinian people was descriptive of identity; first by societal segment (city dweller\, villager or nomad)\, and then by the region in which the wearer came. Within each regional style\, finer distinctions in women’s dress (thobe) were expressed that shared the maker’s life and the natural world around her. Palestinian women recorded their identity in their thobe with embroidery (tatreez) through a shared illustrative language of embroidered patterns\, stitching techniques and thread colors. The thobe records unwritten stories and serves as a visual register of collective and individual identities\, documenting a woman’s village\, tribe or town\, her marital status\, her familial lineage\, and the material impact of colonialism\, occupation\, war and exile. The regional identity of the woman defines the overall governing style of her thobe\, and evidence of identity is largely through her embodiment of land. \nThis lecture will discuss the regional distinctions in dress in historical Palestine by city\, village and tribe for at least six regions\, to include Ramallah\, Galilee\, Gaza\, Bir Saba\, Al Khalil\, and Bethlehem. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session

SUMMARY:ARCE-DC: The Milky Way and the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of the Sky by Dr. Or Graur
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptians left us some of the earliest records of the night sky\, in which they noted the sun\, the moon\, planets\, and several constellations. Many of these celestial objects are associated with—or personified by—certain gods\, such as Re and the sun. Yet how the Egyptians conceptualized the Milky Way remains unclear. This talk will focus on the popular suggestion that the Milky Way was a manifestation of Nut\, the Egyptian goddess of the sky. \nThe speaker has tested this theory by combining astronomical simulations of the Egyptian night sky\, readings of primary sources (the Pyramid Texts\, Coffin Texts\, and the Fundamentals of the Course of the Stars)\, research on ancient Egyptian material culture (coffins\, funerary papyri\, and tomb murals)\, and anthropological studies of Milky Way creation stories from around the world.This talk will show how Nut’s depictions changed over the course of Egyptian history\, and will present the first visual evidence for the Milky Way in ancient Egyptian art. Dr. Graur concludes that the Milky Way was not a manifestation of Nut but one more astronomical phenomenon that graced her body in her role as the goddess of the sky. \nThe online event typically lasts an hour—50 minutes for the lecture\, 10 minutes for Q+A. \nNo recording or imaging of presentations is allowed in any way.
