Musician Ali Gatie: Who Hurt You? Tour
2022-12-16 19:00 - 22:00 | Neptune, 1303 Northeast 45th Street, Seattle, WA, 98105, United States
Ali Gatie’s music is intimate in a way that almost feels private. The Toronto-raised artist’s pop-meets-R&B is often vulnerable, wounded, and yearning — listening is less like thumbing through his diary than stumbling upon the pages he’s ripped out and stuffed at the bottom of a drawer. Hits like double-platinum acoustic love letter “It’s You” and 2021 EP, The Idea of Her, demonstrate how affecting such an approach can be — he shares the contours of his emotions in hopes that listeners see themselves reflected. And his fans, The LISNers, have connected to these songs in a way that feels profound. After blossoming his sound via bigger projects like 2020’s You, he’s now accumulated over 3.5 billion streams across platforms. Gatie isn’t the type to care about such numbers, but it’s evidence of the powerfully authentic bonds he’s been able to form. The Idea of Her is full of new leaps, including a colorful collaboration with Marshmello and Ty Dolla $ign called “Do You Believe,” which makes it the perfect next step for both Gatie and The LISNers — the EP underscores his unguarded approach to songwriting while emphasizing that there are new worlds out there to explore. “I want my fans to know I’m still figuring this out,” he says of his next chapter. “I might not know for five or 10 years, but this is where I feel like I sit most comfortably. You can expect the unexpected.”

Create Art Inspired by Egypt, Ancient and Modern
2022-12-17 07:00 - 09:30 | Virtual
According to the Arab Republic of Egypt website Tourism page:
Egypt, Um-El-Dunya, literally translated as Mother of the World, is an Arabic expression which Egyptians and others have used over history in reference to the country’s ancient civilization, superlatives and achievements making it a unique tourist destination. The “Mother of the World” houses a plethora of unrivaled tourist and historical attractions and thrives with archaeological treasures and wonders rendering it a classic vintage of history and civilization. Tourists travel far and wide to explore the Pyramids and the Sphinx and trace remnants of the ancient Egyptian civilization kaleidoscope of Islamic, Coptic, Roman, Greek and Pharaonic colors.
Egypt is the cradle of ancient civilization nesting art and temples. The beautiful stretches of picturesque beaches are a magnet for sun-lovers. Every city casts its own spell, some harbor old temples while others boast of immaculate handicrafts. However, they never fail to radiate history, culture and dynamism.
Egypt is the throbbing heart of the Arab world amalgamated in beauty, fused with warmth and sanctified by holiness. It is literally a global historical archive, giving rise to civilizations and bewildering a great many people celebrating it. It is indeed the capital of art, life, culture, science and religion.

UK New Artists in conversation with Habib Hajallie
2023-01-12 08:30 - 10:00 | Virtual
Habib Hajallie was named as the winner of the Robert Walters Group UK New Artist of the Year Award at an awards ceremony held at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery on Thursday 10 November 2022, and he is also a recipient of the Samuel Ross Black British Artist Grant 2022.
During this online talk, Habib will talk about his creative practice, his work with UK New Artist and winning the Robert Walters Group UK New Artist of the Year Award. Habib will also be sharing his top tips for new, emerging artists that he has learnt on his journey.
Habib seeks to empower often marginalised minorities through the exploration of identity within his ballpoint pen portraiture. Confronting socio-political issues within his drawings acts as a catalyst for a discourse regarding the perception of various demographics as being of lesser humanistic value. Specifically, with the disenfranchised often being undermined by mainstream media; somewhat paradoxically reflecting an archaic hierarchy of status, similar to colonial ideologies. Habib’s practice is informed by his Sierra Leonean and Lebanese heritage, in the representation of figures that have been left-out of traditional British Portraiture, he works to investigate how identity can be reconstructed by historical oppression.
Find out more about Habib’s work here.
