SUMMARY:P&P Live! Rabih Alameddie —The Wrong End of the Telescope - in conversation with Aminatta Forna
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 26\, 2021 – 5 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will stream online as a part of P&P Live! Series \nMina Simpson\, a Lebanese doctor\, arrives at the infamous Moria refugee camp on Lesbos\, Greece\, after being urgently summoned for help by her friend who runs an NGO there. Alienated from her family except for her beloved brother\, Mina has avoided being so close to her homeland for decades. But with a week off work and apart from her wife of thirty years\, Mina hopes to accomplish something meaningful\, among the abundance of Western volunteers who pose for selfies with beached dinghies and the camp’s children. Soon\, a boat crosses bringing Sumaiya\, a fiercely resolute Syrian matriarch with terminal liver cancer. Determined to protect her children and husband at all costs\, Sumaiya refuses to alert her family to her diagnosis. Bonded together by Sumaiya’s secret\, a deep connection sparks between the two women\, and as Mina prepares a course of treatment with the limited resources on hand\, she confronts the circumstances of the migrants’ displacement\, as well as her own constraints in helping them. \nNot since the inimitable Aaliya of An Unnecessary Woman has Rabih Alameddine conjured such a winsome heroine to lead us to one of the most wrenching conflicts of our time. Cunningly weaving in stories of other refugees into Mina’s singular own\,The Wrong End of the Telescope is a bedazzling tapestry of both tragic and amusing portraits of indomitable spirits facing a humanitarian crisis. \nRabih Alameddine is the author of the novels The Angel of History; An Unnecessary Woman; The Hakawati; I\, the Divine; Koolaids; and the story collection\, The Perv. In 2019\, he won the Dos Passos Prize. \nAlameddine will be in conversation with Aminatta Forna\, the author of the novels Ancestor Stones\, The Memory of Love\, The Hired Man\, and Happiness\, as well as the essay collection The Window Seat and memoir The Devil That Danced on the Water. Forna’s books have been translated into twenty two languages. Her essays have appeared in Brick\, Freeman’s\, Granta\, The Guardian\, Kenyon Review\, Literary Hub\, The New York Review of Books Daily\, The Observer\, and Vogue. She is currently Director and Lannan Foundation Chair of Poetics at Lannan Center for Poetics and Social Practice at Georgetown University. \nClick Here to register for this event. \nSunday\, September 26\, 2021 – 5 p.m ( I believe this is Eastern Standard Time\, please double check when you register)

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 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 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 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: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
