Online Art Exhibition: Site Insight
2021-11-13 - 2022-01-08 | WA
November 13, 2021—January 8, 2022 | Online Exhibition
James Harris Gallery is pleased to present “Site Insight” an exhibition that explores how artists use and interpret site as a position or location especially as to its environment. This show considers how some artists interpret site in a more literal term while others use it allegorically. The disparate works act like instruments in an orchestra pit. Individually, they are decisive works but taken in unison they reveal the emotional power works of art can have on a broad range of subjects and human character. Beauty is seen through ugliness and vice versa. All the works enlighten the viewer to the complexity of the world in which we live. The artists included in the show are: Squeak Carnwath, Claire Cowie, Fay Jones, Julie Mehretu, Jeffry Mitchell, Mary Ann Peters, Luke Kempton Williams, Bing Wright, and Amir Zaki.

Unlearn to Relearn: Shifting Attitudes for Arabs with Disabilities
2021-11-16 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
Nadwa (Public Conversation)
November 16, 2021

Virtual via Zoom

Disability? Disabled? Special Needs? What language and framework do/should we use in the Arab Community? Join us for a discussion on disability in the Arab/American community!
Historically and traditionally, people with disabilities across the globe have been systematically excluded and marginalized from all aspects of society. Although perspectives and attitudes about disability have changed in recent decades, people with disabilities of color continue to face systemic and cultural barriers that deprive this community of accessing quality education and resources that will enable them to become valued members of society. In particular, people with disabilities among Arab communities, by large, continue to face persistent and blatant oppression and barriers from living quality and humane lives. This webinar is the first of its kind. We will explicitly address long-term disability issues that have impacted Arab communities in the United States and the Middle East. The webinar aims to ignite new ways of thinking about disability and how all of us—both disabled and non-disabled alike—can begin to create a better society that promotes the basic principles of independence, respect and dignity for Arabs with physical, intellectual, and mental health disabilities.
Facilitators:

Adnan Alaboudi, International Disability Self Advocate, Jordan
Marina Salman, Access Living Chicago
Randa Abdelrahim, PhD Candidate Disability Studies, UIC

Real-time live captioning will be provided. For questions, additional information, and/or accessibility contact us at arabamcc@uic.edu

The Almond Blossom Knows Its Life Is Short: Poetry of Palestinian Women in Translation
2021-11-16 17:00 - 19:00, 2021-11-20 17:00 - 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
Description: In this class we will explore a selection of translated poetry by Palestinian women. How do these poets tend to loss? How do they engage with their interiors while living in varying states of siege, occupation, or exile? What are their obsessions? Which mythologies do they reject and which others do they remake? Together we’ll read across generations, including poems by Maya Abu Al-Hayyat, Asmaa’ Azaizeh, Ahlam Bisharat, Laila Al-Sa’ih, and Fadwa Touqan. Join us to reflect together on theme and structure; to encounter texts in the original Arabic alongside the translations; and to end with a writing prompt inspired by our exploration.
Format: Online via Zoom

Arab Film Festival 2021
2021-11-18 - 2021-11-24 | WA
We are putting the finishing touches to AFF2021’s schedule and can’t wait to share it! In the meantime, here’s a little preview of what’s coming:

A selection of shorts from Iraq and Lebanon
Our annual Queer Lens
Award winning features including Moss Agate, Our River…Our Sky, and 200 Meters
A spotlight on documentaries directed by women
and more!

Moss Agate (Lebanon, 2021)
Beirut, summer 2019. The filmmaker experiences a descent into the abyss. His health is at stake and his film community is falling apart. His actress friend Tamara is the last one to leave…
Our River…Our Sky (Iraq, 2020)
In a typically mixed Baghdadi neighborhood in 2006, a community of ordinary people try to live their everyday lives amidst the threat of unpredictable violence. At the heart of these intersecting stories we find Sara, a single mother and novelist. With the news of Saddam Hussein’s sudden execution shortly before the New Year, Sara and her neighbors brace themselves for an uncertain future. Yet, like a miracle, each is able to sustain a fragile sense of hope.
200 Meters (Palestine, 2020)
Mustafa and his wife Salwa live 200 meters apart in villages separated by the Israeli border wall. One day he gets a call every parent dreads: his son has been injured in an accident. Rushing to cross the Israeli checkpoint, Mustafa is denied on a technicality. But a father’s love won’t give up and he will do anything to reach his son. A 200 meter distance becomes a 200 kilometer odyssey, as Mustafa, left with no choice, attempts to smuggle himself to the other side of the wall.

The Nakba and its Generational Impact on Palestinian lives: Memory, Identity, and a Future rooted in Justice
2021-11-18 07:30 - 08:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
The Foundation for Middle East Peace & Project48 invite you to join
The Nakba and its Generational Impact on Palestinian lives: Memory, Identity, and a Future rooted in Justice
Friday, November 19th, 2021
10:30am – 11:45am ET
Featuring Palestinians who lived through the 1948 Nakba and their descendants:
Nida El-Muti, Dina El-Muti, and Hasan Hammami
In conversation with Peter Beinart (FMEP Non-resident fellow)
RSVP here
The Nakba, the displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland from 1947-49, is among the root causes of the conflict in Palestine-Israel and critical to understanding the failure of the decades-long “peace-process,” and the level of justice and reparations required to achieve a sustainable future. We will hear the personal stories of those who survived the ethnic cleansing of their cities and villages, and learn from them and their descendants how the trauma of the Nakba and Israel’s ongoing policies of erasure have shaped their lives. We’ll also ask about their visions for the future, what justice looks like, and how they sustain connections to their homeland from the diaspora.
Participants:
Nida El-Muti: Born in Jericho to Fatima Radwan, a survivor of the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre, Nida was raised in Ramallah and at sixteen immigrated to New Jersey with her mother. Nida put herself through school at Rutgers University, earned a masters in human physiology and worked at Robert Wood Johnson in the department of microbiology, and at Rutgers medical school as a senior technologist in the IVF program. For fifteen years, Nida taught anatomy and physiology at Eastern Illinois university. She is currently retired and living in Chicago.
Dina El-Muti: Born in Denton, TX, Dina grew up in a small town in East Central Illinois, and is now a recent transplant back to Texas, specifically, Houston. The granddaughter of Fatima Radwan, who lived through the 1948 Nakba, Dina is the mother of two little boys and a trauma clinician who has worked for organizations including Defence for Children International, Palestine (DCI-P), the Treatment & Rehabilitation Center for Victims of Torture (TRC), and various social service organizations serving children who have experienced early childhood trauma. Dina attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for undergrad and earned a masters in social work at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dina grew up on the hyphen: both Palestinian and American, on a steady diet of Edward Said, Malcolm X, and her grandmother Fatima’s timeless stories that fundamentally changed the trajectory of her life and work.
Hasan Hammami: Born in Jaffa, Palestine in 1932, Hasan was educated at the Christian Brothers College in Jaffa until he was forced to flee on a cargo sailboat at age 15, with 3000 people, during the Nakba. At 18, after 3 years at the National College of Choueifat and the American University of Beirut, Hasan had to abandon his education to help support his family by working for the oil company Aramco in Saudi Arabia, where he lived in a desert labor camp. He completed his engineering education at the University of Nottingham, England and joined Procter and Gamble where he launched manufacturing operations in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and with increasing responsibilities led large projects in several parts of the world. Father to three daughters and a step-son living on 4 continents, Hasan has served organizations such as the Arab American Association and the Palestine Human Rights Campaign, among others, focusing on civil and human rights for all, advancement of Arab Americans and Interfaith work. A US citizen for 37 years, a citizen of the world for nearly 70, and with 25 country moves behind him, Hasan, now 89, continues to grow & share as a retiree in Florida.

2021-11-20 09:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
The film/poem recreates the last 70 years of Palestinian and Arab politics seen through the prism of the life of the filmmaker’s father, Dr. Elias Shoufani, a leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, an academic and leftist intellectual who was one of the leaders of the opposition to Arafat within Fatah for 20 years.

Queen Naija: The Butterfly Tour (Portland)
2021-11-21 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Wonder Ballroom, 128 NE Russell St, Portland, Oregon, 97212, United States
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).

Queen Naija: The Butterfly Tour at the Showbox

On Borrowed Time in Gaza: Art in Confinement: Monica Reyes Gallery
2021-11-24 - 2021-11-27 | Mónica Reyes Gallery, 602 East Hastings (at Princess), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Join us November 24th at Monica Reyes Gallery in Vancouver for the opening of the exhibition “On Borrowed Time in Gaza: Art in Confinement”:
Drawings and Paintings by Palestinian, Gaza based artists:
Majdal Nateel Maisara Baroud
Maha Daya Mohammed Alhaj
Rufida Sehwail Ganem Alden
Mónica Reyes Gallery
602 East Hastings (at Princess), Vancouver
Wednesday November 24 to Saturday November 27, 2021.
Hours: 12 to 5pm
Closing reception and walkthrough: Saturday November 27 at 1:00pm
Art in Confinement evokes perseverance, humanism, and creativity in dark times. The
exhibition 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,
persistence, endurance, and love of art and life. The two hundred drawings and
paintings 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.
Making art in Gaza is an act of survival, refusal, and resistance to unendurable conditions
inflicted 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.
100% 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
