You’ll learn about the foundational ingredients like homemade chermoula and preserved lemons as you cook a feast of lamb tagine with almonds and prunes; bakoula (sauteed greens with olives and preserved lemon); khobz (traditional round Moroccan bread); and zaalouk(spiced eggplant and tomato stew).

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.

Mask Off Maersk Teach-In

What: Join us in the next phase in our fight to end this genocide and enact a people’s arms embargo! Logistics companies, with Maersk as the industry lead, are the invisible profiteers of the current genocide in Gaza… Behind the horrific images and videos we have seen daily for almost ten months are corporations like Maersk who enable genocide to happen. Behind the grotesque statements of demonic politicians justifying ethnic cleansing are the companies like Maersk who profit from it. It is time to pull the #MaskOffMaersk and show the world who they really are! More info @palestinianyouthmovement

Founded in April 1989 by Ibrahim Shaddad, Eltayeb Mahdi, and Suliman Elnour, just months before Omar Albashir’s military coup, the Sudanese Film Group (SFG) is a collective of filmmakers with a goal to maintain and develop Sudanese cinema. After returning from their film studies abroad, the members spread their love of cinema through film productions, mobile screenings, and publications. Producing over forty films, the group aspired for freedom of expression and the amplifying of local narratives.

This two-part program includes a selection of the Sudanese Film Group’s experimental films using 35mm and 16mm reels, which were digitally restored by Arsenal Berlin in 2018, in an effort to preserve this part of cinematic history. The program also includes a more recent film by Eltayeb Mahdi that documents the Sudanese revolution in 2019.

Screening Online: ON LANDSCAPES, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING Curated by: Fawz Kabra
2024-09-19 - 2024-09-24 | Virtual
Screening Online: Sept. 19 – 24, 2024
RSVP: artearchive.org
FREE / $5 suggested donation
ON LANDSCAPES, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING is a program of video works that unfold a politics of image-making, reviewing and recounting social and cultural histories as they are explored through contemporary frameworks. The program is prompted by a work from the ArteArchive—Toukan’s performance video, Remind me to Remember to Forget (2006), after Mahmoud Darwish’s 1982 prose poem, “Memory for Forgetfulness.” The artist proposes to reverse the act of writing and the will to remember, consequently dispersing the written word and suspending it in memory and reimagination.
Revisiting Toukan’s video eighteen years later, in a global context that remains anxious with war and impending invasions, Remind me to Remember to Forget is revisited in conversation with works by Alsharif, Collins, Hopinka, Jacir, and Namy. Through minimalist experiments and lyrical narratives the works address profound violences of colonial erasure of land and people, the legacies of exile and dispersion, and our relationship to objects and images when only image and replica remain.

In their distinct structural explorations of cycles and repetitions, these works deal with the promises and devastating blunders of modernity. They connect to land, time, and space in a contemporary world charged with a renewed authoritarian tendency that swings from guise and symbolism to blatant and annihilating power. Between lived experiences and replicated environments, these works present a receding natural world, real and imagined sites, and archives that render the architectures of a modern time swept up in a coup of capitalist developments and techno-autocratic fascist regimes.

ON LANDSCAPES, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING is co-presented with e-flux.

Virtual Movie: Aida Returns
2024-09-27 | WA
A poignant, sometimes sad, sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, often absurd story of a multiple journey: the journey of loss as the director’s mother Aida struggled with losing herself to Alzheimer’s disease, but finding solace in her repeated “returning” to the Yafa and Palestine of her youth; the journey of the loss of a parent; and the ultimate return journey back to Yafa where Aida would finally find rest and be herself once more.

Virtual Movie: Homeland: Iraq Year Zero
2024-09-27 | Virtual
In February 2002 – about a year before the U.S. invasion – Iraqi filmmaker Abbas Fahdel traveled home from France to capture everyday life as his country prepared for war. He concentrated on family and friends, including his 12-year-old nephew, Haider, as they went about their daily lives, which had come to include planning for shortages of food, water and power. No strangers to war, the Iraqis thought they understood what was coming, and could even manage to be grimly humorous about what they felt would likely be a major and lengthy inconvenience. And then, the war began.

When Fahdel resumed filming in 2003, two weeks after the invasion, daily activities have come to a near standstill, the city is overrun with foreign soldiers, and many areas of Baghdad had been closed off to ordinary citizens. Iraqis endure, seemingly as unwitting as Americans themselves about what further tragedy awaits. Fahdel’s epic yet intimate film paints a compelling portrait of people struggling to survive while their civilization, dating back to ancient times, is destroyed around them.
