SUMMARY:Cooking Class: Around the World - Small Plates with Big Tastes

SUMMARY:Freedom Film Series #5: To Treat Kids Like Me (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:“To Treat Kids Like Me:” Dec 12 screening & discussion\, sponsored by Donkeysaddle Projects\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nWith severe medicine shortages and an overstretched health care system in Gaza\, children in need of medical treatments can only find them outside the strip. Yet Israel’s convoluted\, arbitrary permit process leaves them waiting in pain\, often missing life-saving care. To Treat Kids Like Me (produced by Donkeysaddle Projects and +972 Magazine) follows the family of Mohamed Saleh and several other children in the Gaza Strip as they navigate the often Kafqaesqe process of getting permission from the Israeli army to leave the besieged strip for medical treatments that are unavailable there. \nThe 5th offering in DSP’s Freedom Film Series will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Jen Marlowe and special guests: \n\nGhada Majadli: Director of the Physicians for Human Rights-Israel department for Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT); featured in To Treat Kids Like Me.\nMohamed Lafi: Public health professional working for the World Health Organization in the OPT\, with a focus on access to health care for patients who need to seek care outside the OPT.\nFadi Abu Shammalah: Manager of Donkeysaddle’s Palestine Grassroots Distribution Project; has been DSP’s on-the-ground support for Mohamad Salah (who is featured in To Treat Kids Like Me)\nMiranda Cleland: Communications Manager for Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP). DCIP documents cases like Mohamed’s where Israeli forces kill or injure Palestinian children.\n\nTickets by donation. 50% of ticket proceeds go to Palestine Grassroots Distribution Project\, including Mohamad Salah’s medical care. \nCo-sponsored by Just Vision & Defense for Children International-Palestine

SUMMARY:Antonio Rey - Flamenco Guitar Master from Spain with Seffarine
DESCRIPTION:Flamenco Guitar virtuoso from Spain\, Antonio Rey makes his Seattle debut after winning the 2020 Latin Grammy for best flamenco album \nSeffarine’s international blend of sounds features soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp. Their music embraces and extends Naki’s rich heritage\, which spans from Moorish Spain to the Sahara\, by mixing Arabic Andalusi music with Manuel Gutierrez’s explosive flamenco footwork\, the grooves of acclaimed bassist Damian Erskine and the exotic instrumentation of Persian master multi-instrumentalist Bobak Salehi. These diverse backgrounds meld into an intoxicating blend of ancient and modern that Bass Player Magazine describes as a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz”. \nSeffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking square in Lamiae’s home city of Fes\, Morocco. Her family is well known in the Seffarine as master metalworkers continuing the tradition today. The square dates back to the 9th century and is famous for the complex rhythms that can be heard from the blacksmiths’ hammers.

SUMMARY:On Borrowed Time in Gaza: Art in Confinement: Monica Reyes Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Join us November 24th at Monica Reyes Gallery in Vancouver for the opening of the exhibition “On Borrowed Time in Gaza: Art in Confinement”: \nDrawings and Paintings by Palestinian\, Gaza based artists:\nMajdal Nateel Maisara Baroud\nMaha Daya Mohammed Alhaj\nRufida Sehwail Ganem Alden\nMónica Reyes Gallery\n602 East Hastings (at Princess)\, Vancouver\nWednesday November 24 to Saturday November 27\, 2021.\nHours: 12 to 5pm\nClosing reception and walkthrough: Saturday November 27 at 1:00pm\nArt in Confinement evokes perseverance\, humanism\, and creativity in dark times. The\nexhibition represents expressions from life in Gaza by six Palestinian artists\, whose works defy a brutal Israeli blockade imposed on over two million Palestinians. Crossing states’ boundaries and aerial spaces to reach Turtle Island\, the works affirm Palestinian hope\,\npersistence\, endurance\, and love of art and life. The two hundred drawings and\npaintings are a testament of the power of art\, the power of imagination under bombardment\, and aspiration for a just and peaceful life in a forsaken world.\nMaking art in Gaza is an act of survival\, refusal\, and resistance to unendurable conditions\ninflicted on Palestinians in the largest collective prison on earth. Deprivation of the Palestinian artists in Gaza from their right to freedom of movement\, their right to connect with the rest of the art community and the public in colonized Palestine and beyond has not stopped them from making art. Despite Israel’s prohibition of art material and supplies from entering Gaza\, or prohibiting art from exiting Gaza\, artists continue to create engaging art\, representing their experiences in confinement\, isolation\, and deprivation of basic human rights.\n100% of the sales of the artworks\, ranging in price from $50 to $1500 will be going to the artists and art therapy programs for children in Gaza. This exhibition is a call for support of Palestinian artists who live and work under extreme conditions in Gaza

SUMMARY:Queen Naija:  The Butterfly Tour at the Showbox
DESCRIPTION:With the recent arrival of her debut album missunderstood\, Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Queen Naija has cemented her status as one of R&B’s most compelling young stars. Hailed as “the first soul star of the social media generation” by The New York Times\, the 25-year-old Detroit native has amassed over three billion combined global streams to date\, each song showcasing the powerful vocal skills she first developed by singing in church. Although she initially found fame through a YouTube channel launched with her former husband\, Queen struck out on her own with her breakthrough single “Medicine”: a January 2018 release that debuted at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100 (a nearly-unheard-of achievement for an unsigned artist)\, and quickly landed her a deal with Capitol Records. By summer 2018\, she’d delivered a critically acclaimed self-titled EP\, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart and earned major recognition in the 2019 awards season (including nominations for Top R&B Artist at the Billboard Music Awards and Best New Artist at the BET Awards\, in addition to three nods at the iHeartRadio Music Awards).
