The Arab Blues
2025-12-14 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Rainier Arts Center, 3515 S Alaska St, Seattle, WA, 98118
The Arab Blues traces an innovative and ecstatic trajectory between the call of tradition and the response of the diaspora. The basis of their arts is the Turath, the canon of classical Middle Eastern compositions and improvisational techniques.
Karim Nagi is an Egyptian native and Rami Gabriel is of Lebanese-Egyptian descent – together, as The Arab Blues, they bridge the gap between tradition and innovation, using their Middle Eastern heritage and passions for Chicago’s jazz and blues scene. Gabriel plays guitar, oud and buzuq, while Nagi plays riqq and tublah, at least. The result is an original expression of immigrant artistry with passionate musicality and revolutionary attitude.

“The hermetic mixture of these musical elements make for a miraculous sonic blaze. It’s like receiving a smoldering telegram in the ear from a vivid and ancient world.” (Evanston Round Table

Threads of Resistance Webinar Series: Blacklisted
2025-12-15 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual
This session spotlights individuals who are not new to speaking out against the occupation, and who have been fired, silenced, de-platformed, shadow banned or publicly targeted for speaking the truth. Hear firsthand accounts from people who have endured retaliation for standing in solidarity with Palestinians and learn how censorship shapes movement work globally. Together, we will explore the consequences of suppression, and imagine collective strategies to resist attempts to fracture, intimidate, or silence the movement. Ticket: $15

End the year on an inspiring note and join us this December for “Threads of Resistance,” a powerful week-long series of online events uplifting voices across the global movement for Palestinian liberation. Throughout the week, we’ll feature artists, organizers, public figures, spiritual leaders, and past Eyewitness Palestine delegates who have witnessed the occupation on the ground firsthand. What unifies our speakers is their commitment to standing firmly in truth, even when doing so comes at personal cost.
Each session offers unique perspectives, bringing together stories, experiences, and acts of resistance that span communities and continents. We invite you to be part of these conversations, to learn, to reflect, and to engage in meaningful dialogue with us.
