After moving to London in 2014\, he joined the local jazz scene and\, with a taste for experimentation\, brought to life a genre everyone loved unconditionally and a concept welcomed by everyone; The Egyptian Jazz Projekt.

SUMMARY:Palestinian Fatayer with Nadia Tommalieh
DESCRIPTION:The universal practicality of packing deliciousness into a portable dough package ranges from Cornish pasties to empanadas to fatayer\, a type of savory pie eaten throughout the Middle East.

Class is meant to be as interactive as it would be at our table\, with the instructor teaching you how to prepare each recipe. Each class ticket is for one kitchen\, and we welcome group cooking on the same screen.

SUMMARY:Water\, Health and Human Rights: Marking World Water Day\, from the U.S. to Palestine
DESCRIPTION:World Water Day March 22\, 2021\nThe UN designated March 22 as World Water Day in 1993. \nIn the years since\, various UN agencies have declared water to be a human right that “should be treated as a social & cultural good\, and not primarily as an economic good.” The UN General Assembly formally recognized water as a human right in 2010. \nThese declarations have not stopped large corporations from turning water into a commodity to be bought and sold for a profit.  In Indigenous lands in the U.S. and around the globe water resources have been plundered and polluted\, with devastating consequences for traditional ways of living and the environment. The ongoing seizure and diversion of water to drive Indigenous peoples from their land have been tools of colonial domination from the Americas to Palestine and beyond. \nIn the U.S. communities of color have disproportionately faced the poisoning of their water and environment.  In some American cities water shutoffs for nonpayment of bills have forced people to leave their homes\, paving the way for gentrification. \nWars are already being fought over water and this is only going to continue as we confront the devastating effects of climate change. Texas recently experienced a ‘Gaza Strip’ moment\, when the impact of a freezing storm and deregulated grid left people without power and drinkable water. \nThe era of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought many problems into urgent focus\, and access to clean water is one of them. \n Find out how you can get involved in campaigns for water justice at our March 22nd webinar\, Water\, Health and Human Rights: Marking World Water Day\, from the U.S. to Palestine.  It will focus on water struggles in Detroit\, Flint\, Indigenous lands\, prisons and Palestine and help build public support for legislation to stop water shut-offs in the U.S. during the Covid-19 pandemic. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Tatreez & Me: Motherhood\, Palestinian Identity\, and Embroidery
DESCRIPTION:Palestinian embroidery\, or tatreez\, is centuries-old folk art\, traditionally passed from mother to daughter over a cup of tea. The traditional Palestinian embroidered dress\, also known as the thobe\, has traceable origins from the beginning of the sixteenth century and the tatreez\, or embroidery\, has an iconographical and symbolic significance that ultimately dates back to Chinese symbols found around 5\,000 BC. \nAward-winning Palestinian embroiderer Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim began passing the endangered art form to her daughter Wafa Ghnaim at two years old. \nThis Mother’s Day\, we will celebrate the Palestinian art of embroidery and Palestinian stories through a conversation with Feryal and Wafa about motherhood\, Palestinian identity\, and embroidery. Bring your mom and your girlfriends for what is sure to be a thoughtful\, engaging\, and heartwarming conversation.

SUMMARY:Silence is a Sense: Layla AlAmma
DESCRIPTION:Joining us today from the UK (hence the weekend starting time) where she is pursuing doctoral work on ‘the intersection of Arab women’s fiction and literary trauma theory’ is Kuwait-born novelist Layla AlAmmar. She has written two novels\, both to much acclaim\, the second of which has become her first to be published in the U.S.\, Silence is a Sense (Algonquin). A woman has fled her homeland of Syria because of the civil war there\, coming to the UK – and trying there to reckon what it has all meant\, even if words aren’t there for saying it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Silence Is a Sense is a fierce novel. The prose is ferocious\, the pace is ferocious and the beguiling central character\, known as The Voiceless\, conceals behind her inability—or reluctance — to speak\, a striking\, visceral intensity. She obsessively watches the people around her to silence her own trauma\, but every now and then it can’t help but break through. Layla AlAmmar has skillfully woven a narrative of memory and grief with an illuminating social critique of the position of asylum seekers within contemporary British society. It is daring and devastating.” —Fiona Mozley. \n“Kuwaiti-American author Layla AlAmmar masterfully depicts that silence is a refuge\, too\, for people affected by the unspeakable . . . AlAmmar succeeds in challenging the refugee or asylum-seeker stereotype\, including the one of a young Arab woman.”—The Markaz Review.
