But this narrative is not shared by all people and cultures; for the Indigenous people of the world\, radical alteration of the planet – and of life itself – is a story that is many generations long. It is also a story of adaptation\, perseverance\, courage\, and resourcefulness in the face of genocide and destruction. \nIn an innovative work of research and reportage\, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities\, generations\, and geographic regions. Together\, they share knowledge\, experience\, questions\, observations\, and dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible with all life. \nWe Are the Middle of Forever illuminates the perspectives of those who have been long-attuned to a changing planet. As we look for new ideas and responses to our shared human challenges\, Indigenous voices offer hope\, connection\, and a welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis. \nDahr Jamail is the author of Beyond the Green Zone: Dispatches from an Unembedded Journalist in Occupied Iraq as well as The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption. He has won the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism and the Izzy Award.

This is a Palestinian word that means “Steadfastness” or “Steadfast Perseverance.” It is a cultural value in Palestine. There is no possible way Palestinians can defend themselves in the face of one of the most well-equipped military powers in the world. They practice “sumud” which sometimes is an act of making breakfast\, sometimes walking the children to the checkpoint on the way to school\, sometimes\, joining a peaceful protest at a blocked crossroad\, just to say “We are here!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this series we will meet a young Israeli woman who also practices her own sumud as she resists joining the Israeli military. We will discover what sumud looks like in the devastation we call “Gaza”\, and in the tragedy we call “Hebron.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo receive links to the film (watch on your own time within 48 hours of the discussion) and the Zoom discussion\, send a message to seattlemideastfocus@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMAY 20\, 8 P.M.

One day he gets the call every parent dreads: his son has been in an accident and is in the hospital. He will do anything to reach his son\, and after being denied access through the checkpoint on a technicality\, Mustafa embarks upon a journey to cross the border illegally. \nLearn more here. \nwith host: \nspecial guest: URL:https://arabishway.com/event/mideast-series_200/ CATEGORIES:Lecture,Lecture/Panel Discussion,Movie ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/st-marks-logo-mini.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220521T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220521T100000 DTSTAMP:20220427T205509Z CREATED:20220427T205035Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220427T205509Z UID:10001297-1653123600-1653127200@arabishway.com SUMMARY:"In Their Shoes" 5K DESCRIPTION:Join the 2022 Global” In Their Shoes 5K” benefiting Iraqi Orphans and Vulnerable Children. \n  \n7201 E Greenlake Drive\, Seattle\, WA 98115 \nhttps://www.iraqichildren.org/may-2022-icf-5k URL:https://arabishway.com/event/in-their-shoes-5k/ CATEGORIES:Benefit/Fundraiser,Health/Wellness ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arabishway.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Iraqi-5K.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220525 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220526 DTSTAMP:20220513T232658Z CREATED:20220513T232658Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220513T232658Z UID:10001314-1653436800-1653523199@arabishway.com SUMMARY:Arab Film Series: ArteEast DESCRIPTION:Arab Film Series online is pleased to present INTIMATE DISTANCE – a Mother’s Day special program on the meaning of motherhood and womanhood from the perspective of two renowned artists and filmmakers Mona Hatoum and Marianne Khoury.  \nHatoum’s personal short film Measures of Distance conveys the intimate relationship between mother and daughter through their exchanged letters during Hatoum’s life in exile\, it also reflects a tremendous sense of loss as a result of exile and separation caused by war. \nIn her feature length autobiographical documentary Let’s Talk\, Marianne Khoury reflects on her own family history\, and her complex relationship with her mother through an intimate and candid conversation between her and her daughter – exploring what it means to be a woman\, mother\, and an artist in the face of personal\, artistic\, and national crisis.
