Passionate about the arts\, she founded Noon Arts Projects in 2012\, a small private art foundation\, to promote contemporary Libyan art and expose it to the world stage. Collaborating with cultural foundations and galleries\, she has curated over 16 projects and successfully shed light on the current Libyan artistic scene. \nAmado AlFadni is an artist who was born in Cairo\, Egypt in 1976 to Sudanese parents. His childhood environment was composed of both the Cairene street and the traditions of a Sudanese household. The relationship and the tension between these two different cultures strongly influenced his views\, making him question the subject of identity with its related rhetoric\, as well as the variables of nation and ethnicity in his work. The ‘Alternative Museum of Sudan’ is Amado’s first solo exhibition in London\, that traces the findings of his five-year journey and research into the buried histories of the people of the Sudan who were badly affected by colonialism and other interruptive external forces. \nDate: 14th June 2022 \nTime: 12 pm (NYC)\, 5 pm (London)\, 8 pm (Dubai) \nTickets: Donation URL:https://arabishway.com/event/11-3-dialogues-on-the-art-of-arab-fashion-alternative-museum-of-sudan/ CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Screen-Shot-2022-04-28-at-1.09.34-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220611T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220611T113000 DTSTAMP:20260406T132222 CREATED:20220530T195348Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220530T195348Z UID:10001328-1654941600-1654947000@arabishway.com SUMMARY:ARCE DC: King Taharqa: The Man and the Myth DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Rita Freed \n\n1:00 PM EDTWashington\, DC\nZoom\n\nRegister via this email URL:https://arabishway.com/event/arce-dc-king-taharqa-the-man-and-the-myth/ CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/ARCE-logo.png ORGANIZER;CN="American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE)":MAILTO:nw.arce@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220610T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220610T200000 DTSTAMP:20260406T132222 CREATED:20220531T160927Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220531T160927Z UID:10001335-1654887600-1654891200@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Blackwater Holylight at Chop Suey DESCRIPTION: Fri Jun 10\, 7 pm\n\n\n Chop Suey Capitol Hill (Seattle) \n This is an in-person event\n\n $15\n 21+\n\n\n*I’m making the guess that the lead vocalist Allison Sunny Faris has origins in Syria/Lebanon.

The British government is officially responsible for maintaining law and order but it quickly loses control and decides to abandon the country on May 15th 1948\, leaving behind a war which was to lead to the tragic dispossession of over three quarter million Palestinian Arabs of their homes and the creation of the state of Israel. One man\, Major Derek Cooper\, witnessed those final days of the Mandate as an officer in the British army responsible for the protection of the Arab city of Jaffa. His experiences there marked him so deeply that he continued to work on behalf of Palestine’s refugees for most of his life. The film tells the story of his return to Palestine/Israel in the summer of 1995. \nGoing Home tells the story of Cooper’s return to Israel in the summer of 1995. In an effort to capture the past\, Cooper and his wife revisit famous sites and talk to Palestinians and Israelis about the events of 1948. This film is a compelling look back at the beginning of a conflict that would last for generations to come.

These stories of survival have never been recorded\, let alone inspired a fiction film. With scathing humor\, Civilized People draws the portrait of a war-tormented Beirut neighborhood\, at the mercy of the mood swings of a sniper. The plot weaves the tribulations of a Muslim militia fighter and a Christian maid\, with the misadventures of a high-society lady who\, undaunted by checkpoints and shelling\, decides to fly back for a tryst with her lover. Civilized People premiered at Venice (official selection); it screened and at the Toronto International Film Festival and won the Nestor Almendros award (New York\, 2000). The film’s sharp critique of Lebanese elites created an uproar in Lebanon\, and was banned from being screened.

In his new country\, things are not quite as he imagined – the school where he teaches is cramped and violent\, and he quickly forgets how it feels to belong.  But when he meets a beautiful\, rebellious woman named Emma\, and when Emma\, turns away from her white\, middle-class roots to offer him love and bear him a child\, the narrator chooses to hide his past from his new family and his present circumstance from his family back in Zanzibar.  Twenty years later\, when the barriers at last come down in Zanzibar\, he is compelled to go back. What he discovers there\, in a story potent with truth\, will change the entire vision of his life.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a 1996 novel by the 2021 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbdulrazak Gurnah was born on 20 December 1948[5] in the Sultanate of Zanzibar\, which is now part of present-day Tanzania.[6] He left the island at the age of 18 following the overthrow of the ruling Arab elite in the Zanzibar Revolution\,[3][1] arriving in England in 1968 as a refugee.

This is a Palestinian word that means “Steadfastness” or “Steadfast Perseverance.” It is a cultural value in Palestine. There is no possible way Palestinians can defend themselves in the face of one of the most well-equipped military powers in the world. They practice “sumud” which sometimes is an act of making breakfast\, sometimes walking the children to the checkpoint on the way to school\, sometimes\, joining a peaceful protest at a blocked crossroad\, just to say “We are here!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this series we will meet a young Israeli woman who also practices her own sumud as she resists joining the Israeli military. We will discover what sumud looks like in the devastation we call “Gaza”\, and in the tragedy we call “Hebron.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive links to the film (watch on your own time within 48 hours of the discussion) and the Zoom discussion\, send a message to seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 20\, 8 P.M.
