SUMMARY:Palestine Through Two Lenses: Authors at King's Book's Tacoma
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, May 7\, 3 PM\nKing’s Books\n218 St Helens Ave\, Tacoma\, WA 98402\nSponsored by JVP-Tacoma\n\nNada Elia and Alice Rothchild have published books in the last year that focus on Palestine/Israel in two very different ways. Alice’s is a young-adult novel\, while Nada’s is a nonfiction exploration and analysis. What the books have in common\, in addition to their Palestine/Israel focus\, is awakening to injustice. One is a personal awakening\, the other is intersectional — an exploration of the connected and intertwined social fabric. These two writers\, one Palestinian and one Jewish\, explore ways to move forward.\n\nNada Elia is a diaspora Palestinian writer\, grassroots organizer\, and university professor. She is a core member of the Palestinian Feminist Collective and has been the plenary presenter at major conferences such as the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights. Her articles have been published in Mondoweiss\, Middle East Eye\, and Electronic Intifada amongst many other places. Nada’s new book is Greater than the Sum of Our Parts: Feminism\, Inter/Nationalism\, and Palestine. \n\n\nAlice Rothchild has written three books on Israel/Palestine\, contributed to newspapers\, magazines\, webzines\, anthologies and poetry journals\, and directed a documentary film. After years as a physician\, when she is not making good trouble\, she loves hiking in the Pacific Northwest\, playing with her grandchildren\, tending to her boisterous garden\, and stretching the boundaries of her cooking. Alice’s new book is Finding Melody Sullivan.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing the Ancient Nile and Human Interactions with the River:  Zoom
DESCRIPTION: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. \nSuch 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.  \nUsing remote sensing\, geophysical methodologies for ground truthing\, and Egyptological research\, our team has begun the process of mapping the ancient Nile south of Cairo.   \nSpeaker Bio\nDr. Suzanne Onstine is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Memphis. She received her B.A in anthropology at the University of Arizona and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Near and Middle Eastern civilizations at the University of Toronto.

DESCRIPTION:The “Abraham Accords”: Implications for Human Rights\, a Just Peace\, and US Policy\nTuesday May 2\, 2023 \n9:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET \nWith 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. \nArab 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.

SUMMARY:Terranea: Hakawatia of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:8 p.m. ET Friday\, April 28\, 2023\nTERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea\nIn-person at AANM or via Livestream \nPurchase Tickets | Purchase Tickets for livestream\n$10 Students/Seniors\n$12 Museum Members\n$15 General Public\n$5 Livestream \nTERRANEA: 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. \nThrough 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? \nThis 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. \nPerformance 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: \nCollaborators: Original music by Renee Copeland and collaborator Peter James Roduta featuring vocalist Amal Kaawash and Clarissa Bitar.
