SUMMARY:ARCE-DC: The Milky Way and the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of the Sky by Dr. Or Graur
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptians left us some of the earliest records of the night sky\, in which they noted the sun\, the moon\, planets\, and several constellations. Many of these celestial objects are associated with—or personified by—certain gods\, such as Re and the sun. Yet how the Egyptians conceptualized the Milky Way remains unclear. This talk will focus on the popular suggestion that the Milky Way was a manifestation of Nut\, the Egyptian goddess of the sky. \nThe speaker has tested this theory by combining astronomical simulations of the Egyptian night sky\, readings of primary sources (the Pyramid Texts\, Coffin Texts\, and the Fundamentals of the Course of the Stars)\, research on ancient Egyptian material culture (coffins\, funerary papyri\, and tomb murals)\, and anthropological studies of Milky Way creation stories from around the world.This talk will show how Nut’s depictions changed over the course of Egyptian history\, and will present the first visual evidence for the Milky Way in ancient Egyptian art. Dr. Graur concludes that the Milky Way was not a manifestation of Nut but one more astronomical phenomenon that graced her body in her role as the goddess of the sky. \nThe online event typically lasts an hour—50 minutes for the lecture\, 10 minutes for Q+A. \nNo recording or imaging of presentations is allowed in any way.

SUMMARY:Mary Ann Peters: myself inside your story
DESCRIPTION:An artist and activist for five decades\, Mary Ann Peters’ drawings\, paintings\, and sculptural installations address the incomplete histories of the Middle East. A second-generation Lebanese American woman\, Peters is simultaneously connected to and distanced from a family homeland known to her through generations of stories\, photographs\, and lived experiences\, as well as her travels abroad\, and – like many of us – from news sources.  As the title of exhibition hints\, Peters makes reference to histories that are not her story but are\, by heritage\, a connection to documented cultural records tied to the Middle East.

SUMMARY:Movie: Sudan\, Remember Us
DESCRIPTION:In April 2019\, filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital\, Khartoum\, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins\, making music\, reciting poetry\, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.” \nFor Meddeb\, who has family roots in Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria\, the movement brings to mind the aspirations of her late father: “the dream of an Arab country with its customs shaken up by a feminist revolution.” She captures demonstrations going late into the night with a celebratory atmosphere. The activists are defiant against backlash. “Bullets don’t kill\,” says one young man. “What kills is people’s silence.” \nSUDAN\, REMEMBER US enshrines this moment\, but also documents the descent into war that followed. Today\, Sudan is engulfed in violence between internal factions in collusion with external arms suppliers driven to gain control over the country’s wealth of minerals. The war has displaced more than 8 million people and killed over 14\,000\, but is largely ignored by international news. No single film can explain a nation’s complex history or politics. Instead\, Meddeb simply bears witness to courageous people receiving scant coverage. Meddeb is always attuned to the power of language—dictators may come and go\, but as one activist asserts\, “poems are eternal.”

SUMMARY:Movie: Sudan\, Remember Us
DESCRIPTION:In April 2019\, filmmaker Hind Meddeb travelled to Sudan’s capital\, Khartoum\, at a jubilant moment in the country’s history. The long-time dictator Omar Al-Bashir had recently been overthrown after a 30-year regime marked by genocidal violence in Darfur. Meddeb began filming with young activists rallying for a citizen’s government by staging sit-ins\, making music\, reciting poetry\, and painting murals. Their hopes are expressed in signs that read “Sudan free from tribalism” and “religious pluralism.” \nFor Meddeb\, who has family roots in Tunisia\, Morocco\, and Algeria\, the movement brings to mind the aspirations of her late father: “the dream of an Arab country with its customs shaken up by a feminist revolution.” She captures demonstrations going late into the night with a celebratory atmosphere. The activists are defiant against backlash. “Bullets don’t kill\,” says one young man. “What kills is people’s silence.” \nSUDAN\, REMEMBER US enshrines this moment\, but also documents the descent into war that followed. Today\, Sudan is engulfed in violence between internal factions in collusion with external arms suppliers driven to gain control over the country’s wealth of minerals. The war has displaced more than 8 million people and killed over 14\,000\, but is largely ignored by international news. No single film can explain a nation’s complex history or politics. Instead\, Meddeb simply bears witness to courageous people receiving scant coverage. Meddeb is always attuned to the power of language—dictators may come and go\, but as one activist asserts\, “poems are eternal.”

SUMMARY:Global Strike for Gaza
DESCRIPTION:GLOBAL STRIKE FOR GAZA – AUG 28🚨 \nLast Thursday\, the Global Economic Strike for Gaza began. Hundreds of thousands heard the call — promoting it on their pages\, translating posters\, organising demonstrations\, and even committing to close their businesses every Thursday. \nThis is just the beginning. On Thursday 28th August\, we take up Bisan’s call – and we strike again — and this time\, we must spread the word even further. \nIsrael is carrying out genoc//de in Gaza\, while western politicians not only look away but actively arm an aparthe//d regime wiping out a civilian population. It is time to escalate on a global scale. When governments refuse to listen\, we—as a united global collective—must strike where it hurts them most: their economies. \nOn Thursday 28th August\, and continuing every Thursday after\, we strike together. \nPlease read the deck\, share it widely\, and spread the word. \nUpdates via:

SUMMARY:What exactly happened in 1948? An animated map by Palestinian architect Nisreen Zahda
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday\, August 30\, 2025 Virtual Programming via Zoom: \nWhat exactly happened in 1948? An animated map by Palestinian architect Nisreen Zahda.\nPlease Click Here to register to attend this event via Zoom. \nScreening will start at 12:00 PM US EDT; 19:00 Palestine\, 18:00 Europe\, UK 17:00; Running Time 12 minutes\, 2023\, English language. The screening will be followed by Q&A discussions with the audience. \nAbout the Topic\nThe 1948 Nakba—Israel calls it the War of Independence and claims it fended off and conquered the invasion of several Arab armies from surrounding countries. Nothing could be further from the truth. \nAs the genocide in Gaza continues to unfold\, it’s crucial to put the events of 1948 into perspective and examine the similarities and differences. There’s a stark contrast between the misinformation and lack of media coverage in 1948 versus the live-streamed coverage of the current genocide on people’s mobile devices and screens worldwide. Was what happened in 1948 as tragic and horrific as what’s happening in Gaza now\, just unknown to the world?
