Joan Maloof The Secrets of Trees at Town Hall
2023-04-18 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Town Hall, 1119 8th Ave, Seattle, WA, 98101, United States
Standing in an old-growth forest, you can instinctively sense the ways it is different from forests shaped by humans. These ancient, undisturbed ecosystems are increasingly rare and largely misunderstood, but American environmentalist Joan Maloof knows these forests intimately and has been studying and writing about them for decades. In the newly revised and expanded edition of her book, Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests, she continues to deepen our understanding of these extraordinary ecosystems.
Maloof brings together the scientific data we have about old-growth forests, drawing on diverse fields of study to explain the ecological differences among forests of various ages. She describes the life forms and relationships that make old-growth forests unique — from salamanders and micro-snails to plants that communicate through fungi — and reveals why human attempts to manage forests can never replicate nature’s sublime handiwork. She also sheds new light on the special role forests play in removing carbon from the atmosphere and shares what we know about the interplay between wildfires and ancient forests.
Joan Maloof, Ph.D., is a powerful spokesperson for our nation’s forests — sharing information about their extent and condition and encouraging their preservation. Maloof is the author of Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests. She also founded the Old-Growth Forest Network, an organization that is creating a network of protected forests across the U.S. Maloof is a professor emeritus at Salisbury University where she taught Biological Sciences and Environmental Studies. She is the author and four books in addition to Nature’s Temples: Treepedia; The Living Forest; Among the Ancients; and Teaching the Trees.

*I’m guessing she’s Arab due to her last name but I could not confirm.

From Koloud the organizer:

I have received a 4Culture grant to host a My Name! My Voice! art workshop. This is to coordinate with my art piece, Sul.tˤa, being hosted at the Highline Heritage Museum for April’s Arab American Heritage Month. It was inspired by a minbar and holds over 200 Arabic names of local children.

Since it is a free workshop, I would like to offer if first to refugee men & women who are more in need of art therapy. Participants must be 16 and up due to the types of tools we will be using.

The workshop is open to 30 participates and if anyone in the community is able to help register any refugee adults and get them to the event, it would be fantastic.

We will have Arabic language helpers and all participates will take home their art supplies.

Movie: Nine Parts: PBS Broadcast
2023-04-26 - 2023-04-30 | Virtual
Film available for screening through April 30, 2023

Nine Parts – PBS Broadcast
A film by Mike Mosallam, Heather Raffo and Nilou Safinya
Streaming on PBS – Watch now!
Uprooted after her father’s death during the pandemic, an Iraqi American woman attempts to grieve at the site of the oldest Iraqi Church in North America. What starts in profound isolation, becomes communal as Iraqi women, ordinary and extraordinary, come to her in spirit and ancestry with their personal stories of love and resilience. Together, they offer a celebration of the Iraqi female experience and an explicit warning – the divisions Iraq endured are not unique, Iraq is a bellwether for America now.
Nearly 20 years ago, 9 Parts of Desire premiered to widespread acclaim on London stages and Off-Broadway, later becoming a global theatrical phenomenon. Now, Heather Raffo adapts her multi-award-winning solo play about Iraqi women for the screen and for our current time. From Iraq to Michigan, Raffo transforms into a wide cross-section of Iraqi women in her inspiring exploration of love and grief within countries undone by division, violence and loss.
Watch an interview with Heather Raffo and AANM Public Programming Coordinator, Fatima Al-Rasool, on PBS NewsHour about the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Heather Raffo is a singular and outstanding voice in the American theater whose work has been championed by the New Yorker as “an example of how art can remake the world.” Having helped forge a new genre of Arab American theater, she’s spent her career writing and embodying stories of Iraq: from the lives and dreams of Iraqi women in her seminal work 9 Parts of Desire (2003), to the suicidal ideation of an Iraq war veteran in the opera Fallujah (2012), to the restless longings of an Iraqi refugee architect in Noura (2018). A multi award-winning writer and actor, she’s toured nationally and internationally: from the Kennedy Center to The Aspen Ideas Festival and from London’s House of Commons to the U.S. Islamic World Forum. Her newly released anthology, Heather Raffo’s Iraq Plays: The Things That Can’t Be Said, brings together two decades of her most groundbreaking contributions to the American theater and speaks to the bravery required to be at the forefront of a movement. Her newest Migration Play Cycle, her most ambitious theatrical imagining in scale and scope, situates themes around migration and the global economy. Being raised in the Midwest and the daughter of an Iraqi immigrant, Raffo has committed her artistic practice to working across all kinds of borders: on mainstages and in rural communities; with the military and in the Arab world; in swing states and in refugee facilities. She is uniquely positioned to explore what migration means for an ever-evolving American and global identity. Photo credit for headshot is: Satya Tisman Photography

For the love of fresh bread, falafel, hummus, and everything in between! In this class Nadia Tommalieh will teach you how to make a traditional “sandweishet falafel” (falafel sandwiches) that will have you convinced you’ve traveled to the Arab world to eat them. You will learn about the different falafel variations of the region as she shows you how to get the perfect puff on your homemade khobez (pita bread), and how to achieve flavorful, crispy falafel every time. This super delicious street food sandwich is never complete without a layer of fresh smooth hummus. You will top your piping hot sandwiches with tarator (tahini garlic sauce), tatbeeleh (jalapeno lemon sauce), Mkhalal left (pickled turnips) and salatah Arabia (Arabic style tomato and cucumber salad).

Movie: Jaddoland: Streaming
2023-04-27 - 2023-04-30 | Virtual
Synopsis: JADDOLAND explores the meaning of home and the search for belonging across generations. When the filmmaker returns to her hometown in the Texas panhandle to visit her mother, an artist from Iraq, she turns her lens on her mother’s increasingly isolated life, as well as the beauty and solace that emerge through her creative process. Soon, the filmmaker’s charismatic grandfather arrives, still longing for the homeland he recently left. While the shadow of geopolitical and historical forces looms on the periphery, the filmmaker searches for unexpected moments of meaning in the everyday, subtly weaving threads between past and present, her mother’s work and her own. In doing so, she draws an artful and deeply intimate portrait of one family reimagining its relationships to the places they call home.
We are thrilled to present creative and award-winning documentary JADDOLAND, this month on the Arab FIlm Series online!

Online Screening: April 27-30
Free / $5 suggested donation
RSVP at arabfilmseries.org

Terranea: Hakawatia of the Sea
2023-04-28 17:00 - 19:00 | Virtual
8 p.m. ET Friday, April 28, 2023
TERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea
In-person at AANM or via Livestream
Purchase Tickets | Purchase Tickets for livestream
$10 Students/Seniors
$12 Museum Members
$15 General Public
$5 Livestream
TERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea is a performance that weaves a contemporary mythology about Terranea, a sea spirit who gathers those that have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea. Developed collaboratively along the Lebanese and Sicilian coasts, in the lakes of Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota, U.S.), and with Palestinian water wells and streams in mind, this dance performance integrates oral histories around bodies of water while delving into the memories water itself can hold. Dancers, musicians and writers come together to imagine how to embody the lessons of this essential element. At the same time, we contemplate how our bodies are affected by absurd and deadly blockages, on land and in water, that impede free-flowing movement. Looking particularly into the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and water, where Palestinian bodies, homes, olive trees and rights are under attack; where indigenous resistance roots are deep and ignited. As well as the broader crisis of the sea; whereas in its past, the Mediterranean was a space of free and fluid migration, the sea is now marked with invisible borders and demarcations of power, with detrimental effects.
Through choreographies, this piece asks our bodies: How do we unravel the ‘stuckedness’ that builds up and sinks deep under our skin? What grief exists at the moment of departure and which bone does it shake? Where are the songs of our ancestors stored, and how might we listen to their rhythm? What life-giving connections can we find, of this earth and of the mythical realm? What is the memory of the sea?
This work began in a solo residency at the Arab American National Museum in September of 2020. After 2.5 years of process and collaborations that took place on Turtle Island, Lebanon and Sicily, with artists across disciplines and places, we will return for a residency that will culminate in sharing the performance TERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea.
Performance by Body Watani Dance Project; choreographed by Leila and Noelle Awadallah in collaboration with the dancers / performers Nakita Kirchner, Sharitah Nalule, Erica Jo Vibar Sherwood, and Emma Marlar. Thanks to our guest performers who joined us for this tour:
Collaborators: Original music by Renee Copeland and collaborator Peter James Roduta featuring vocalist Amal Kaawash and Clarissa Bitar. Mythology of Terranea written by Romy Lynn Attieh, translated by Rana Issa, and read by Wafika Loubani. Farrah Basyouni, and Leila Awadallah. Film by Leila Awadallah with assistance from Xiaolu Wang.

The “Abraham Accords”: Implications for Human Rights, a Just Peace, and US Policy
Tuesday May 2, 2023
9:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET
With the normalization of relations between Israel and some Arab countries moving at a relatively fast pace, and with the Abraham Accords having taken over a significant proportion of US policy conversations and priorities for the region, there is a great need to provide a detailed and objective assessment of this new policy direction and its potential impacts and implications.
Arab Center Washington DC (ACW) and the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP) are hosting a half-day conference to discuss the implications of these agreements for human rights and democracy across the region, as well as for US policies and priorities, regional and global alliances, and the future of both peace and Palestinian human rights. The conference panels will also include an examination of the diplomatic, economic, military, and technological components of these newly established relations, the motivations of each of the countries involved, and an overall assessment of the future of the Abraham Accords.

Reconstructing the Ancient Nile and Human Interactions with the River: Zoom
2023-05-06 09:00 - 11:00 | Virtual
While many efforts to reconstruct the ancient Nile drainage system have been conducted in previous years, they have been confined primarily to small study areas, producing maps of fragmented sections of the ancient river. The position and dynamic nature of the entire river channel system remains undiscovered.
Such a poor understanding of the Nile history not only inhibits our ability to map archaeological sites accurately, but also to understand their significance within the wider landscape.
Using remote sensing, geophysical methodologies for ground truthing, and Egyptological research, our team has begun the process of mapping the ancient Nile south of Cairo.
