In Conversation: Sophia Al-Maria and Arbella Bet-Shlimon
2024-01-11 17:30 - 19:30 | Henry Art Gallery, 15th Avenue NE + NE 41st Street, Seattle, WA, 98195, United States
Join us for an evening with artist Sophia Al-Maria in conversation with University of Washington Williams Family Endowed Associate Professor in History, Arbella Bet-Shlimon. Al-Maria is a Qatari-American artist, writer, and filmmaker whose current Henry exhibition, Not My Bag, interrogates histories of colonial authority in contemporary culture. Bet-Shlimon’s teaching and research focuses on the politics, society, and economy of twentieth-century Iraq and the broader Persian Gulf region, as well as Middle Eastern urban history.
Through sharing of personal stories and literary, journalistic, and scholarly references that have been crucial to their work, Al-Maria and Bet-Shlimon will explore how historical fiction and a critical study of histories can be acts of dissent while looking toward global social change.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Sophia Al-Maria has had solo exhibitions at Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, Qatar; the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow; the Tate Britain, London; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; among other institutions. Her work has been included in group exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art, London; LUMA Arles, France; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the New Museum, New York; the Palais de Tokyo, Paris; and the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing; La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy; and numerous other venues. She has been writer in residence at the Whitechapel Gallery, London. She is the author of three books: Sad Sack (Book Works, London, 2019), Virgin with a Memory (Cornerhouse Publications, Manchester, 2014), and The Girl Who Fell to Earth (Harper Perennial, New York, 2012).

Arbella Bet-Shlimon is a historian of the modern Middle East. In her research and teaching she focuses on the politics, society, and economy of twentieth-century Iraq and the broader Persian Gulf region, as well as Middle Eastern urban history. Among others her teaching has been recognized by the UW’s Distinguished Teaching Award. Bet-Shlimon’s first book, City of Black Gold: Oil, Ethnicity, and the Making of Modern Kirkuk (Stanford University Press, 2019), explores how oil and urbanization made ethnicity into a political practice in Kirkuk, a multilingual city that was the original hub of Iraq’s oil industry.

PCC Cooking Class: Palestinian Levantine Table
2024-01-15 18:00 - 20:00 | PCC-Bellevue, 11615 NE 4th St, Bellevue, WA, Bellevue, WA, 98004, United States
Bring the foods of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria together learning to make Chef Hend’s deep-rooted family recipes. Make handmade Taboon, a yeasted flatbread that is essential for the table. Build the spice combination to make Musakhan, a flavorful chicken dish made to serve atop your taboon. For a bite of sweetness, learn to make Atayef, pillowy stuffed pancakes that are a delight to celebrate. This class is brimming with unique recipes and essential Middle Eastern ingredients to bring to your kitchen.
With dairy, nuts, and poultry.
About the instructor: After cooking in Michelin Star restaurants and high volume catering events, I made a “temporary” switch to teaching cooking classes. However, the satisfaction and unique experience I received from teaching convinced me that this was my new culinary path. I am a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu, where I mainly focused on French and Western technique, but I have deep roots in Middle-Eastern cuisine and an enthusiastic, developed passion for Japanese cuisine. In my travels I seek out to learn something new, and for me, the more specific and obscure, the better. My interests and abilities continue to range out further, as long as I can do it, I will teach it.

Seattle: Shut It Down for Palestine
2024-01-20 18:00 - 20:00
🚨SEATTLE: SHUT IT DOWN FOR PALESTINE THIS SATURDAY 1/20 🇵🇸
As part of the international day of action to #shutitdown4palestine, we will be demonstrating at the U-District light rail station to denounce the links between the publicly-funded Sound Transit and multinational conglomerate, Siemens, who works to enhance Israeli occupation and colonisation in Palestine.
Over $118,000,000 of our state taxes already directly fund the Israeli military, but unfortunately, our taxes and economy are even more intertwined with Zionist occupation and U.S. imperialism. In 2016/2017, Sound Transit entered into a $714,718,000 contract with Siemens to acquire 152 light rail vehicles. This is despite the fact that another company can produce the same vehicles and is not actively breaking international law by supporting Israeli occupation and colonialism.
Right now, the Sound Transit board is in the process of acquiring 10 more light rail vehicles from Siemens at the cost of over $96 million dollars, paid for by our tax dollars!
* We demand an end to the Sound Transit contracts with Siemens!
* Sound Transit, cut ties with genocide!
* End all U.S. aid to Israel!
* Immediate ceasefire on Gaza!
* End the Siege on Gaza!
* Release all Palestinian prisoners!
* End the occupation!

Global General Strike to End the Seige on Gaza
2024-01-21 - 2024-01-28
URGENT CALL TO ACTION! @wizard_bisan1 has called for a global general strike to end the siege on Gaza and call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. It has been over 100 days of this continued genocide in Gaza. Palestinian and Palestinian solidarity organizations in Seattle have joined forces to uplift this call from Gaza. Swipe through the slides to see how you can participate in the economic boycott and strike and stay tuned to see actions we will be uplifting throughout the week.
In Bisan’s words, “we are human beings like you. We had beautiful cities, many lives and dreams. They were destroyed. You can make a difference and stop this genocide. Do not despair and continue until the ceasefire” #FreePalestine #StopTheSeigeOnGaza #PermanentCeasefireNow #EndTheOccupation #FromTheRiverToTheSea #GlobalStrike #GeneralStrike #BDS

Online Film Salon: Israelism
2024-01-21 12:00 - 14:00 | Virtual
Israel is central to the political and cultural life of the American Jewish community. But it has also become a deeply divisive subject, as painful generational cracks have emerged within the Jewish community over the Israel-Palestine conflict, inspiring argument, protest and even censorship.

Focusing on the stories of two young Americans raised to defend Israel at all costs, Israelism traces their awakening to Israel’s dehumanization of Palestinians and the ongoing violence of the occupation. The film explores the past, present, and future of the relationship between American Jews and Israel, as growing numbers question whether support for Israel should condition and define their Jewish identity. Featuring a range of American Jewish thinkers, community leaders and activists, Israelism asks how and why Israel became the cornerstone of American Judaism, what the consequences have been, and what will happen as divisions continue to grow.

Flavors of Palestine: Maftoul - Cooking Class
2024-01-24 18:00 - 21:30, 2024-01-25 18:00 - 21:30 | the Pantry, 1417 NW 70th Street, Seattle, WA, 98117
The cold days of winter deserve the warmest of comfort foods and the coziest of gatherings. In Palestine, that all centers around maftoul, a traditional Palestinian couscous, steamed to perfection with olive oil and broth. Paired with tender roast chicken and crowned with a sauce made from tomato, onions, and garbanzo beans, this dish is the ultimate in winter comfort. You’ll enjoy your maftoul with hwerneh bil labaneh (mustard greens fermented with labneh); adas mudamas (mashed brown lentils with garlic, lemon, and an array of aromatic spices and herbs); crispy onions; and freshly made pita bread. You’ll finish the meal with asaba’ zeinab (fried semolina macarons bathed in orange blossom syrup).
Please note: some classes can be adjusted for students with dietary restrictions, but many cannot.

The Reinterpreting Liberation program and the Center for Community-Based Learning and Action (CCBLA) at The Evergreen State College present a discussion about how global struggles for liberation intersect.

Jesse will join the panel over Zoom.
