SUMMARY:Riz La Vie at Barboza\, Seattle
DESCRIPTION:The soul-baring RIZ LA VIE\, a Lebanese-American artist originally from New Jersey and based in New York\, has a vocal approach that ranges from a consoling croon to a fervent howl. His artful\, grainy\, and occasionally bluesy hybrid of R&B\, hip-hop\, and pop was showcased throughout 2020 in songs like “Tesla” and “She Said”\, culminating and world-expanding in the EP “Feed.” & its’ deluxe. Over the last several years\, Riz has built an increasingly growing following through a heatmaking string of singles and EPs\, drawing from musical influences ranging from the underground to Billboard’s Hot 100. From his unique genre-blending sonic approach to his thoughtful lyricism\, fans of Riz can expect exciting new music and visuals throughout 2021\, including collaborations on 6 Dogs’ posthumous album (March) and a debut album. \nCheck out his music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZC9Fw6bb6E \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Laila Lalami: Kepler's Literary Foundation
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT. Please consider joining with a book to support programs like this one. \nPulitzer Prize Finalist Laila Lalami—author of the acclaimed novels The Moor’s Account and The Other Americans—opens up with a deeply personal and powerfully researched book about the experience of “conditional citizens” living in the United States. \nWhat does it mean to be American? In this starkly illuminating and passionate detail\, 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. Through a tour of history\, politics\, culture and literature\, in a book that Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a gift to all Americans\,” Lalami clarifies a vision of the United States where accidents of birth are codified in a hierarchy that disenfranchises and limits some based on skin color and origin. Conditional citizens\, Lalami argues\, are all the people whom America embraces with one arm\, and pushes away with the other. \nOnline with Kepler’s on October 14 for the paperback release of Conditional Citizens\, one of our most compelling literary voices takes a hard look at a broken social fabric which limits the welcoming promise of our famously multicultural nation. In a period of continued international turmoil around borders\, a very real refugee crisis and embattled citizenship\, be prepared to join the conversation: don’t miss Laila Lalami. \n“Consistently thoughtful and incisive\, the book confronts the perils of our modern age with truths to inspire the coalition-building necessary to American cultural and democratic survival. A bracingly provocative collection perfect for our times.”—Kirkus Reviews

SUMMARY:Ben Hodgson & Laura Moulton in Conversation With Omar El Akkad
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 5 @ 5pm (PT) \nIn 2011\, Laura Moulton founded Street Books\, a mobile library serving people living outside in Portland\, Oregon. That summer\, Ben Hodgson became one of her most dedicated regulars\, setting the still-unbroken single season record for borrowing. Then Ben’s routines changed\, and he didn’t cross paths again with Laura for almost two years. Loaners: The Making of a Street Library (Perfect Day) is the story they began to tell when they reconnected\, offering a street-level perspective of a community whose stories are seldom told\, alternating between their two unforgettable points of view in this addictively readable\, occasionally sublime memoir. Hodgson and Moulton will be joined in conversation by Omar El Akkad\, author of What Strange Paradise and American War. \nRegister for the Zoom event  /  Buy the Book

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:Free virtual screening of the documentary film "Jerusalem: A Rock and a Hard Place "
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this event \n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJerusalem: A Rock And A Hard Place\, a remarkable two-part documentary special from Al Jazeera English\,  goes behind the scenes with residents from each of the three monolithic faiths who share one of the world’s most extraordinary cities: Jerusalem. \nHere\, Israeli Jews and Palestinian Muslims and Christians exist in close geographical proximity and are bound in many ways by a common history. \nBut as these films reveal\, they are also worlds apart. \nThe stark\, every-day challenges of life in a city shaped by 70 years of Israeli occupation – with its oppressive discrimination\, security walls and endless petty restrictions  – aren’t always fully understood by outsiders. To followers of different faiths\, Jerusalem is a sacred and spiritual place\, to many tourists it’s most famous for its culturally significant monuments\, but to those who live here its status is much more complex.

SUMMARY:Diana Al-Hadid: Archive of Longings:  Exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Diana Al-Hadid’s work explores the interplay between the female body and the European art canon; Syrian\, Muslim\, and immigrant histories and mythologies; and architectural icons and the natural world. Born in 1981 in Aleppo\, Syria\, and raised in Cleveland\, Ohio\, Al-Hadid creates artworks that speak to her interest in the melding of cultures and the translation of disparate narratives. This monographic exhibition will consist of a selection of 13 sculptural works made between 2010 and 2021 brought into interpretive grouping for the first time. Together the sculptures identify the artist’s investigation of historical\, mythological\, and biblical narratives of women as a fundamental through-line of her practice.\nWhile Al-Hadid’s work is often interpreted primarily in relation to her interest in the art historical canon\, this show situates the artist’s deployment of these influences as advancing a network of feminist concerns: the female protagonist and its conflicted history\, as well as women’s agency\, power\, and identity. The title refers to the artist’s ongoing interest in the incomplete nature of collective history and the palimpsest of narrative and information that constructs our sense of history; it also resists the monumentalizing (and ultimately\, patriarchal and colonialist) idea of fixity and singularity. Instead\, Al-Hadid foregrounds disruption and rupture in the endlessly woven fabric of our stories of self/the body\, the migration of information and interpretation through space and time\, and the fundamentally unfixed nature of human desire.\nThe exhibition is held in conjunction with the Feminist Art Coalition (FAC)\, a nationwide initiative of art projects that seek to generate cultural awareness of feminist thought\, experience\, and action.\nA brochure with a curatorial essay\, alongside installation images\, will accompany the exhibition.
