Throughout the 20th century\, literary and cultural production across much of Central\, Western\, and South Asia reached readers through the pages of periodicals. These periodicals–newspapers\, magazines\, and journals–housed a variety of literary forms ranging from serialized novels\, to poetry\, to short stories\, alongside advertisements\, comics\, and photography. This symposium features emerging literary scholarship that investigates short form fiction as it appears in the rhizomatic 20th century periodical\, and its intersections with translation and gender. How does fiction move across and between languages in 20th century periodical cultures of Eurasia? What does an explicit and intentional consideration of gender in these translingual (and frequently transnational\, or transhistorical) literary movements illuminate? In exploring such questions\, this symposium foregrounds gender\, translation\, and the short form in the growing field of Periodical Studies\, and brings together scholars working on texts from across Eurasia\, in Persian\, Arabic\, Urdu\, Hindi\, Tamil\, Russian\, and Turkish \nThomson Hall : Rm 317 URL:https://arabishway.com/event/symposium-gender-translation-and-the-short-form-in-the-eurasian-periodical/ LOCATION:University of Washington – Thomson Hall\, 1911 Skagit Lane\, Seattle\, WA\, 98105\, United States CATEGORIES:Books/Literature/Writing,Lecture/Panel Discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/DgAV7USK0bgCEp2x6Fezq.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251010T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251010T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T165218 CREATED:20250928T164019Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250928T164128Z UID:10003337-1760119200-1760130000@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Community at Ya Hala DESCRIPTION:Games\, Music\, Cafe \nRemember\, Ya Hala’s cafĂ© and retail space is open to all \nMore details about each weekend’s events will drop on the Monday before. 👀 URL:https://arabishway.com/event/ya-hala-game-night-oct-b/ LOCATION:Suzanne Zahr\, Art & Architecture\, 2441 76th Ave SE\, Ste 160\, Mercer Island\, WA\, 98040\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Group,Games,Gathering,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-28-at-7.46.38-PM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251011T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251011T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T165218 CREATED:20250928T154804Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250928T154918Z UID:10003334-1760202000-1760212800@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Potting for Palestine: A Palestinian Ceramics Workshop đŸ‡”đŸ‡ž DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, October 11th at our studio on Cashmere\, WA for a hands-on workshop co-hosted with @houseofsumoud. \nIn this immersive session\, you’ll learn about the history and significance of traditional Palestinian pottery\, explore unique glazing techniques\, & create your own Palestinian-inspired plate or tray infused with a touch of Wenatchee Valley flair. \nPlease note: All final pieces will be displayed & sold at the 2025 Falasteen in the Valley Festival in Leavenworth\, WA on October 25th. 100% of proceeds benefit humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza. \nCome shape clay\, share stories\, & make art that carries meaning and impact. \nRegister here: https://thelocalmudroom.kilnfire.com/classes/potting-for-palestine-a URL:https://arabishway.com/event/potting-for-palestine-a-palestinian-ceramics-workshop-%f0%9f%87%b5%f0%9f%87%b8-2/ LOCATION:The Mud Room (Cashmere)\, 207 Mission Ave\, Cashmere\, WA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Screenshot-2025-09-28-at-8.43.33-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251011T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251011T200000 DTSTAMP:20260403T165218 CREATED:20250925T021309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250925T021550Z UID:10003314-1760205600-1760212800@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Film "Half Moon" at Vancouver Film Festival DESCRIPTION:The act of artistic creation can feel inadequate when trying to convey the tragedy of war\, but for clarinettist and composer Kinan Azmeh\, music is a way to bear that grief and break down the boundaries of emotional and cultural expression.

Your culinary street food journey will begin with classic falafel bites brimming with spices and herbs and accompanied by a silky tahini sauce. Next you will create a light vegetable filled salad ( Fattoush) with fried pita croutons. Every street food experience must include Saj\, an unleavened thin flatbread which you’ll use as a wrap for your chicken shawarma. Shawarma is bold spiced marinated meat which is grilled and sliced thin. You will complete your wrap with fresh cut vegetables and a zesty yogurt garlic sauce. Join Chef Hend for a culinary journey through the beautiful food culture of Palestine and the Middle East. \n\nFalafel with Tahini Sauce (chef demos blending\, students form and fry)\nSaj (thin Flatbread)\nFattoush\, Romain lettuce tossed with tomato\, cucumber\, radish\, fried pita chips with a mint and sumac vinaigrette\nGrilled Chicken Shawarma\, Middle Eastern Pickles and Yogurt Garlic Sauce URL:https://arabishway.com/event/palestinian-street-food-classics/ LOCATION:Whisk\, 10385 Main St\, Bellevue\, WA\, 98004\, United States CATEGORIES:Cooking/Food,Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Shawarma-Hend-Palestinian.jpg.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251012T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251012T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T165218 CREATED:20250929T022022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250929T022113Z UID:10003351-1760284800-1760288400@arabishway.com SUMMARY:وقŰȘ Ű§Ù„Ù‚Ű”Ű© ŰšŰ§Ù„Ù„ŰșŰ© Ű§Ù„ŰčŰ±ŰšÙŠŰ© / Arabic Story Time - KCLS (Kent) DESCRIPTION:Enjoy stories\, music\, movement and rhymes in Arabic that develop your child’s early literacy skills\, then stay to play\, have fun and make new friends. \nAll ages welcome with adult. \n  URL:https://arabishway.com/event/arabic-story-time-kcls-kent-oct-c/ LOCATION:King County Library System – Kent\, 212 2nd Ave N\, Kent\, WA\, 98032\, United States CATEGORIES:Story Time ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/KCLS-story-time-e1711492509450.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251015T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251015T103000 DTSTAMP:20260403T165218 CREATED:20250925T023620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250925T023620Z UID:10003317-1760518800-1760524200@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Healing Under Occupation: Mutual Aid Webinar with Anar Palestine and Healing to Hope DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar with Anar Palestine and Healing to Hope to learn about their mental health work: empowering Palestinian children and their caregivers\, and supporting their healing to help them realize their full potential. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a webinar with Anar Palestine and Healing to Hope to learn about their mental health work: empowering Palestinian children and their caregivers\, and supporting their healing to help them realize their full potential.

Bender and Alex Hanna DESCRIPTION:Is artificial intelligence on the brink of world domination? Have tech giants created autonomous thinking machines? Will AI render authors\, artists\, and other creatives obsolete? Are we entering an era where computers surpass humans in every way? \nAccording to linguist Emily M. Bender and sociologist Alex Hanna\, the answers to these questions are clear: no\, they wish\, LOL\, and definitely not. What fuels these dramatic predictions is a phenomenon known as AI hype—a misleading narrative that distorts reality to serve corporate interests. Hype doesn’t just exaggerate; it justifies data exploitation\, accelerates surveillance capitalism\, and undermines human creativity by reducing skilled work to mechanical tasks. \nBender and Hanna provide essential tools to identify AI hype\, break it down\, and expose the underlying power plays it seeks to conceal. \nAlex Hanna \nDirector of Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) \nAlex Hanna is the Director of Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) and a sociologist whose work explores the data behind computational technologies and its role in deepening racial\, gender\, and class inequalities. She also studies social movements\, focusing on anti-racist campus protests in the U.S. and Canada. Dr. Hanna holds degrees in computer science\, mathematics\, and sociology from Purdue University and earned her MS and PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nShe is the co-author of The AI Con (Harper\, 2025)\, a critical examination of artificial intelligence and the hype surrounding it. Alongside linguist Emily M. Bender\, she co-hosts Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000\, a lively\, incisive series on Twitch and podcast platforms that deconstructs AI industry narratives. \nDr. Hanna’s research has been published in top-tier social science journals\, including Mobilization\, American Behavioral Scientist\, and Big Data & Society\, as well as leading computer science conferences such as CSCW\, FAccT\, and NeurIPS. She serves as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Applied Transgender Studies and is an advisory board member for the Human Rights Data Analysis Group. \nRecognized for her contributions\, Dr. Hanna has received the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s Forward Award\, been named to FastCompany’s Queer 50 list (2021\, 2024)\, and featured on Business Insider’s AI Power List. She was also highlighted in the Cal Academy of Sciences New Science exhibit\, which celebrates queer and trans scientists of color.

In this class\, you’ll explore the cultural roots and rituals surrounding mansaf as you learn to prepare it\, from slowly braising lamb shanksin a rich\, tangy sauce made from jameed (dried yogurt) to serving the lamb over turmeric- and ghee-scented rice\, nestled on top of shrak\, a delicate Bedouin flatbread. To complete your Jordanian table you’ll prepare galayet bandoura(sautĂ©ed ripe tomatoes with garlic\, olive oil\, and chili\, served with crispy pita chips); zaiytoon (green olives marinated in lemon\, jalapeño\, turmeric\, and olive oil); mkhalel left (bright pink pickled turnips in brine); and\, for dessert\, awameh(light\, crispy dough balls soaked in orange blossom syrup and sprinkled with crushed pistachios).

By 1951\, Israel had established the Kfar Shaul Mental Health Center on the grounds of Deir Yassin. \n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis play delves into the theme of Palestinian collective memory at the location of the massacred Palestinian village Deir Yassin\, now occupied by an Israeli mental institution. \nThrough its surreal narrative\, its characters challenge the silence surrounding historical truths and the preservation of collective memory. \n  \nThu.
