SUMMARY:ARCE Chicago: The Egyptian Game of Senet\, from the New Kingdom to Roman Time: Funerary Destiny\, Astronomy\, and Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Information: \nThe game of senet is one of the most famous board games of Egyptian Antiquity. Attested from the 4th millennium BC\, it is characterized by its thirty squares. It was played by 2 players\, each one having 5 to 7 playing pieces\, whose progress obviously depends on fate—by the throwing of sticks or a pair of knucklebones—but also on strategy. This talk will re-evaluate the role usually attributed to senet in the funerary sphere in the New Kingdom\, and will discuss the evolution of the game during the first millennium\, when it seems more related to astronomical practices\, calculating time\, and perhaps\, medicine for the eyes. \n  \n(Please double check that I have the time right when you register!)

SUMMARY:Arab Film Series Online: Eleven Reflections on September
DESCRIPTION:Film available Thursday\, Sept. 9 – Thursday\, Sept. 16\nOnline Stream – Register for Free \nJoin the Arab Film Series Online for a special program Eleven Reflections on September by Andrea Assaf: A poetry\, music\, movement and digital media exploration of Arab American experience\, Wars on/of Terror\, and “the constant\, quiet rain of death amidst beauty” that each autumn brings in a post-9/11 world. The program will be accompanied by a discussion with the artist Andrea Assaf as well as Lubana Al Qantar\, moderated by Leila Buck\, available Sept. 13-16. \nBased on a series of poems Andrea Assaf has written since 2001\, Eleven Reflections spans the fall of the Twin Towers\, the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq\, the global rise of anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia\, and the revolutions and uprisings that have swept through the Arab world in the last decade. Aesthetically\, the poems explore the disintegration of language in the face of violence\, prejudice\, and unspeakable horror\, as they progress from lyrical to abstract and broken. \nThe annual witnessing of autumn leaves becomes a metaphor for the fallen…as we approach the 20th anniversary of 9/11\, this ever-evolving tour de force finds new relevance and urgency. As an experimental work that lives at the intersection of live performance and digital media\, Eleven Reflections on September is beautiful\, haunting\, and truly genre-shattering. \n104 minutes / 2021 / United States / Experimental / English and Arabic with English subtitles \nPresented in partnership with Arab Film and Media Institute and ArteEast \nMORE INFO + RSVP

SUMMARY:Yassin Adnan and Alex Elinson with Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:Moroccan author Yassin Adnan\, translator Alexander Elinson\, and longtime Elliott Bay friend and noted\, award-winning author Laila Lalami are all set to virtually be on hand for this program centered around the U.S. publication of Yassin Adnan’s spirited novel\, Hot Maroc (Syracuse University Press). \n“Finally\, the vibrant work of Yassin Adnan is available in English. Alexander Elinson’s playful translation of Hot Maroc brings us into the heart of today’s Marrakech\, an ancient city weathering the rapid changes brought by modernization\, globalization\, and\, most importantly in this book\, the Internet. At once a commemoration of the past and an insightful look at our influence on the present\, Hot Maroc expands our ideas of a country that has been woefully underrepresented in English-language literature\, while taking us on a wild ride through an anonymous online world that holds the power to reveal our true selves.”—Emma Ramadan. \n“A witness to his age like any true writer\, Yassin Adnan paints a complex and forceful portrait of a Morocco where so often\, reality exceeds fiction. Fluidly and beautifully written\, this novel is a superb addition to a youthful new wave of Moroccan creative work.”—Tahar Ben Jelloun. \nIf we have people properly ‘situated’ for this evening which the zoom era makes possible\, author Yassin Adnan will be joining us from Marrakech (where he has long been an esteemed prose writer\, poet\, and journalist)\, Alexander Elinson from New York (where he is head of the Arabic program at Hunter College\, CUNY\, and has written his own books and translated works by Youssef Fadel)\, and Laila Lalami\, serving as interlocutor and guide here\, joining us from southern California\, teaching there at the University of California\, Riverside\, and writing several acclaimed novels\, with her most recent book being a timely book of essays\, Conditional Citizens.\nThis should be a delight on several counts.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Shugri Said Salh with Mathangi Subramanian — The Last Nomad
DESCRIPTION:Third Place Books welcomes author Shugri Said Salh for a presentation of her debut memoir\, The Last Nomad: Coming of Age in the Somali Desert. She will be joined in conversation award-winning writer and educator Dr. Mathangi Subramanian. \n  \nAbout The Last Nomad. . .\n“I am the last nomad. My ancestors traveled the East African desert in search of grazing land for their livestock\, and the most precious resource of all—water. When they exhausted the land and the clouds disappeared from the horizon\, their accumulated ancestral knowledge told them where to move next to find greener pastures. They loaded their huts and belongings onto their most obedient camels and herded their livestock to a new home.” \nWhen Shugri Said Salh was six years old\, she was sent to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert\, away from the city of Galkayo. Leaving behind her house\, her parents\, her father’s multiple wives\, and her many siblings\, she would become the last of her family to learn a once-common way of life. The desert held many risks\, from drought and hunger to the threat of predators\, but it also held beauty\, innovation\, and centuries of tradition. Shugri grew to love the freedom of roaming with her goats and the feeling of community in learning the courtship rituals\, cooking songs\, and poems of her people. She was even proud to face the rite of passage that all “respectable” girls undergo in Somalia\, a brutal female circumcision. \nIn time\, Shugri would return to live with her siblings in the city. Ultimately\, the family was forced to flee as refugees in the face of a civil war—first to Kenya\, then to Canada\, and finally to the United States. There\, Shugri would again find herself a nomad in a strange land\, learning to navigate everything from escalators to homeless shelters to\, ultimately\, marriage\, parenthood\, and nursing school. And she would approach each step of her journey with resilience and a liveliness that is all her own. \nAt once dramatic and witty\, The Last Nomad tells a story of tradition\, change\, and hope.

SUMMARY:Leïla Slimani w/ Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be partnering with nous amis at Alliance Française de Seattle to virtually present one of the most dynamic writers in the world today\, France-based Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani. Author of (these are titles in English) Adèle\, The Perfect Nanny\, and Sex and Lies\, books which have garnered critical acclaim in France and all over the world\, she is here with her newest\, published in the U.S. as In the Country of Others (Penguin). Originally published as Le Pays de Arbes (Gaillmard)\, which we should have copies on-hand of\, along with the English translation\, this book is the first of a projected trilogy\, loosely tracing Leïla Slimani’s own family story. \n“The world of this novel – Morocco after World War II\, leading up to the revolt against French colonialism – is beautifully created. Personal life\, social life\, everyday life spring vividly from the page\, and we feel deeply for the family caught in the middle of the conflict of history. An exceptional\, powerful novel from this justly celebrated writer.”  – Salman Rushdie. \n“Leïla Slimani is a wonderful writer\, and this gorgeous novel brings vibrantly to life the vanished world of 1950s Morocco\, in a narrative at once richly layered and deceptively simple. I loved it and didn’t want it to end.”  -Claire Messud. \n“A powerful and compelling family saga—about women and subjugation\, otherness and belonging\, and the often conflicting loyalty to both family and country—written with a deftness that has come to define Leïla Slimani’s writing. It will no doubt resonate in the reader’s mind long after the final sentence is read.”  – Christine Mangan. \nPresented by ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE DE SEATTLE and Elliott Bay Book Company.

SUMMARY:Home Away FROM HOME: Julian Pena Gallery
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to being of Middle Eastern descent and living in the U.S.\, one’s life experience includes regularly facing varying degrees of prejudice and discrimination. While these people feel grounded and a sense of belonging in their homes where their identities and cultures are very much alive\, they are forced to confront feelings of otherness when they step outside whether it’s through receiving judgmental glances\, harsh words or physical violence. With eyes on the outside\, Middle Easterners who live in other parts of the world experience these struggles indirectly; feeling an instinctive connection to those in the U.S.\, they are affected by what they see and hear on the news or social media. “Home Away From Home” exhibits original work by artists of Middle Eastern descent living in the U.S. and abroad who attempt to explore themes of underrepresentation\, isolation and racism while navigating the physical and emotional disconnect between themselves\, their cultures and the places they call home.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Launch - In My Mother's Footsteps by Mona Hajjar Halaby
DESCRIPTION:All times are based on US EDT – 12 Noon = 7:00 PM in Palestine. \n\nPlease click here to register for this event. \n“Refugees are like seeds that scatter in the wind\, and land in different soils that become their reluctant homes\,” my mother once told me. As a small child\, I looked up at my mother and clutched her hand. The puffiness of her palm reminded me of a loaf of warm pita bread\, and when she laced her fingers into mine like a pretzel\, I felt safe. I would have walked with her to the ends of the earth. \nWhen Mona moved from California to Ramallah to teach conflict resolution at the Ramallah Friends School for a year\, she kept a journal. Within its pages\, she wrote her impressions of her homeland\, a place she had only experienced through her mother’s memories.
