SUMMARY:Author Event: Hala Alyan w/ Gabrielle Bates
DESCRIPTION:Hala Alyan w/ Gabrielle Bates\nThursday June 19th\, 2025 @ 7:00PM – 8:00 PM\n\n\n\n\nAward-winning Palestinian American poet and novelist Hala Alyan discusses her debut memoir\, I’ll Tell You When I’m Home\, in which Alyan’s experience of motherhood via surrogacy forces her to reckon with her own past\, and the legacy of her family’s exile and displacement\, all in the name of a new future. She’s joined alongside poet Gabrielle Bates. \nTo help us anticipate audience size\, please RSVP here! \nAfter a decade of yearning for parenthood\, years marked by miscarriage after miscarriage\, Hala Alyan makes the decision to use a surrogate. In this charged time\, she turns to the archetype of the waiting woman—the Scheherazade who tells stories to ensure another dawn—to confront her own narratives of motherhood\, love\, and inheritance. \nAs her baby grows in the body of another woman\, in another country\, Hala finds her own life unraveling—a husband who wants to leave; the cost of past traumas and addictions threatening to resurface; the city of her youth\, Beirut\, on the brink of crisis. She turns to family stories and communal myths: of grandmothers mapping their lives through Palestine\, Kuwait\, Syria\, Lebanon; of eradicated villages and invading armies; of places of refuge that proved only temporary; of men that left and women that stayed; of the contradictions of her own Midwestern childhood\, and adolescence in various Arab cities. \nMeanwhile\, as the baby grows from the size of a poppyseed to a grain of rice\, then a lime\, and beyond\, Hala gathers the stories that are her legacy\, setting down the ones that confine\, holding close those that liberate. It is emotionally charged\, painstaking work\, but now the stakes are higher: how to honor ancestors and future generations alike in the midst of displacement? How to impart love for those who are no longer here\, for places one can no longer touch? \nA stunningly lyrical and brutally honest quest for motherhood\, selfhood\, and peoplehood\, I’ll Tell You When I’m Home is a powerful story of unraveling and becoming\, of destruction and redemption\, and of homelands lost and recreated. \nHala Alyan is the author of the novels Salt Houses—winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and the Arab American Book Award\, and a finalist for the Chautauqua Prize—and The Arsonists’ City\, a finalist for the Aspen Words Literary Prize. She is also the author of five highly acclaimed collections of poetry\, including The Twenty-Ninth Year and The Moon That Turns You Back. Her work has been published by The New Yorker\, The Academy of American Poets\, The New York Times\, The Guardian\, and Guernica. She lives in Brooklyn with her family\, where she works as a clinical psychologist and professor at New York University. \nGabrielle Bates‘s poetry collection Judas Goat (Tin House\, 2023) was named a Best Book of 2023 by NPR and Electric Lit and a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. In addition to freelance writing and editing\, she works for Open Books: A Poem Emporium; co-hosts the podcast The Poet Salon; and serves occasionally as faculty for the University of Washington Rome Center\, the Tin House Writers’ Workshops\, and Brooklyn Poets. The recipient of support from the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference and Artist Trust\, her work has appeared in the New Yorker\, Ploughshares\, The Believer\, Kenyon Review\, Sewanee Review\, and elsewhere. www.gabriellebat.es

👤 Instructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian & Educator \nThis lecture commemorates the Six-Day War (June 5–10\, 1967)\, which began the ongoing Israeli military occupation of the West Bank\, Gaza Strip\, and East Jerusalem. In the wake of this seismic event\, tatreez shifted in its meaning and function as a form cultural expression. From the intimate labor of individual women’s hands to the international recognition of Palestinian embroidery by UNESCO in 2021 as Intangible Cultural Heritage\, tatreez continues to serve as a vessel of collective memory and a historical record of the Palestinian people.\nPhotograph by @m0nastic Chris Gale\n🔗 Register at the link in bio\n#Tatreez #PalestinianEmbroidery#AlNaksa #WafaGhnaim #artsed#arthistory

SUMMARY:A Night with Mx. Yaffa: Conversation // Reading // Book Signing 
DESCRIPTION: (Open to all\, no registration required) \nJoin us in celebrating the release of Yaffa’s latest book\, Sage. Sage is a poetry collection that acknowledges all transphobia is systemic but the pain of everyday interpersonal violence is still felt in our bones. A collection that highlights challenges and joy within interpersonal relationships from the perspective of a queer and trans Palestinian living at the margins of displacement\, disability\, immigration & ongoing genocide. Sage is a beacon of light\, shedding light to wounds that have festered and rotted\, and finding the paths forward as fascism claims more of who we are. \nAvailable now in ebook and print! \nThe CSPP Library will be open! Get a library card\, check out + return a book\, and support the only community run SWANA Library. \nBooks will be for sale along with prints\, shirts + herbal medicine from the community. \nAll proceeds go to Trans folks most affected by ongoing gen0cides. \nMasks provided and required at @swanarosepdx – community care is a verb

SUMMARY:Kitsap Solidarity Presents: One Family in Gaza
DESCRIPTION:An original play by Crystal Zevon \nBased on texts from Yasser in Gaza \nIn November 2023\, Crystal Zevon\, a longtime activist for Palestine\, began a text conversation with a young 33 year old Palestinian man in Gaza. Yasser is a civil engineer\, a husband and the father of three young children under the age of seven. For more than a year\, and continuing\, Yasser and Crystal have exchanged texts\, photos and videos on almost a daily basis. These  unedited texts create the basis for telling the poignant\, terrifying\, and sometimes joyful story of one family’s struggle to survive through a genocide. Yasser’s texts are juxtaposed against news items of corresponding dates\, and the thoughts and feelings of someone living in comfort and safety oceans away. \nOne Family in Gaza is a play about simply that – One Family in Gaza . \nThe objective for creating this play is three-fold: \n\n\nTo offer a play that is profound in its reliance on the truths disclosed through a relationship grounded in the reality of two distant and distinct realities\, yet a play so simple that anyone can perform it anywhere – from a dining room table reading to a staged performance. \n\n\nTo humanize Palestinians by creating a relationship with one family whose loves\, fears\, hopes and dreams are not unlike yours. \n\n\nTo motivate those who see the play to continue the discussion\, to delve beneath the media’s glossing over of a genocide and take action to expose it. \nIt is through identification with the  basic human truths revealed in the daily life of one family that we can and must create change. \n\n\nMore information to come (please check website)

SUMMARY:Free Film Screening: Israelism
DESCRIPTION:Two young American Jews travel to Israel seeking a deeper understanding of the country they were raised to love. What they encounter profoundly impacts them\, leading them to join a growing movement to redefine their community’s relationship with Israel in this challenging and emotional journey. Join us for the free screening of this film. \nAbout the film\nTwo young American Jews – Simone Zimmerman and Eitan – are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on ‘the other battlefield:’ America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel‘s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes\, they are horrified and heartbroken.\nThey join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism\, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people. Their stories reveal a generational divide in the American Jewish community as more young Jews question the narratives their synagogues and Hebrew school teachers fed them as children. \nThe film also features voices like Jacqui\, a Jewish educator who says “Judaism is Israel and Israel is Judaism”\, and former Anti-Defamation League President Abe Foxman\, who claims voices like Simone and Eitan’s represent a small minority. Thought leaders like Peter Beinart\, Jeremy Ben-Ami\, Noura Erakat\, Cornel West\, and Noam Chomsky also weigh in. \nDirected by two first-time Jewish filmmakers who share a similar story to the film’s protagonists\, Israelism is produced by Peabody-winner and 4-time Emmy-nominee Daniel J. Chalfen (Loudmouth\, Boycott)\, executive produced by two-time Emmy-winner Brian A. Kates (Marvelous Ms. Maisel\, Succession) and edited by Emmy-winner Tony Hale (The Story of Plastic)\, Israelism uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically\, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself.
