SUMMARY:Global Rhythms: Saha Gnawa
DESCRIPTION:Where Morocco Meets NYC: Refined via late-night sessions at LunÀtico in Bed-Stuy\, Brooklyn\, Saha Gnawa explores trance-like states through its intuitive interplay\, allowing ancestral rhythms and melodies to drift into unknown territories. What emerges is both an authentic performance of centuries-old Gnawa tradition and a bold step into new dimensions of sound — where traditional song forms dissolve into ecstatic dance tracks laced with subtle electronics.

SUMMARY:The Role of Art and Journalism in Society (Hybrid inperson & virtual)
DESCRIPTION:There exists a pervasive illusion that journalism embodies truth and objectivity\, yet it is fundamentally entrenched in a Eurocentric perspective that has long exacerbated social polarization. What ideological forces underpin this medium\, enabling it to perpetuate such divisions?  \nArtists\, as individuals deeply connected to society and its multifaceted truths\, strive to reveal these truths through various forms. Positioned on the precipice of a changing world\, artists maintain a profound grasp on truth. How can artists intervene to redeem journalism from its historical complicity in supporting hegemonic ideologies? Can the creative and critical sensibilities of artists unearth and challenge the concealed biases and contradictions that journalism often obscures under the guise of objectivity? In what ways can artistic endeavors disrupt the entrenched Eurocentric narratives and foster a more inclusive and emancipatory discourse within the media landscape? How can the aesthetic and imaginative dimensions of art confront and transform the existing power structures that shape journalistic practice? What role can artists play in reimagining journalism as a medium of genuine critical reflection and societal truth?  \nRegistration opens on December 12\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Town Hall Seattle: Raja Shehadeh — 'We Could Have Been Friends\, My Father and I: A Palestinian Memoir'
DESCRIPTION:About the event. . .\nIn his life\, Aziz Shehadeh was many things — among them a lawyer\, a political detainee\, and the father of activist and author\, Raja Shehadeh. \nRaja’s latest book\, We Could Have Been Friends\, My Father and I\, is a subtle psychological portrait of a complicated father-son relationship. Set against the backdrop of continuing political unrest\, Raja describes his failure as a young man to recognize his father’s courage as an activist\, and\, in turn\, his father’s inability to appreciate Raja’s own efforts in campaigning for Palestinian human rights. Then in 1985\, Aziz Shehadeh is murdered\, and Raja undergoes a profound and irrevocable change. \nWe Could Have Been Friends acts in part as the story of Palestine’s continual fight against multiple foreign powers\, but at its core presents a poignant unraveling of a complex father-son relationship\, unlike many we have seen before.

SUMMARY:Joan Maloof The Secrets of Trees at Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Standing in an old-growth forest\, you can instinctively sense the ways it is different from forests shaped by humans. These ancient\, undisturbed ecosystems are increasingly rare and largely misunderstood\, but American environmentalist Joan Maloof knows these forests intimately and has been studying and writing about them for decades. In the newly revised and expanded edition of her book\, Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests\, she continues to deepen our understanding of these extraordinary ecosystems. \nMaloof brings together the scientific data we have about old-growth forests\, drawing on diverse fields of study to explain the ecological differences among forests of various ages. She describes the life forms and relationships that make old-growth forests unique — from salamanders and micro-snails to plants that communicate through fungi — and reveals why human attempts to manage forests can never replicate nature’s sublime handiwork. She also sheds new light on the special role forests play in removing carbon from the atmosphere and shares what we know about the interplay between wildfires and ancient forests. \nJoan Maloof\, Ph.D.\, is a powerful spokesperson for our nation’s forests — sharing information about their extent and condition and encouraging their preservation. Maloof is the author of Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests. She also founded the Old-Growth Forest Network\, an organization that is creating a network of protected forests across the U.S. Maloof is a professor emeritus at Salisbury University where she taught Biological Sciences and Environmental Studies. She is the author and four books in addition to Nature’s Temples: Treepedia; The Living Forest; Among the Ancients; and Teaching the Trees. \n\n*I’m guessing she’s Arab due to her last name but I could not confirm.

SUMMARY:Marc Ribot and Gordon Grdina's Haram at Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Guitar legend Marc Ribot has released 25 albums over a 40-year career. As part of Town Hall’s Global Rhythms series\, Ribot takes the stage alongside Vancouver’s culture-blending band Haram\, whose work draws inspiration from legendary Egyptian singer Umm Kulthoum. Together they create a new sonically breathtaking view of time-tested repertoire. \nRibot is joined onstage by Haram\, a Vancouver-based group led by Juno Award-winning oud virtuoso and guitarist Gordon Grdina. Haram filters Arabic music through the creative lens of improvisation\, paying homage to the masters while still freely developing an original voice. Classics from Farid El Atrache\, Oum Khalsoum\, Iraqi folk songs\, and 50’s Sudanese radio music all resonate and inspire the ensemble to dig deeper and give more freely. Listen in for a double-billed performance showcase as Ribot teams up with Haram to navigate Arabic musical traditions.

DESCRIPTION:Syrian Kinan Azmeh’s virtuosic quartet is known for deftly personalized high-energy performances that strive to balance classical music\, jazz and traditional Syrian music. \n\nKinan Azmeh left his home city of Damascus to pursue a deeper understanding of his own musical voice—and today he has risen to international prominence as a clarinetist and composer. His ensemble\, the Kinan Azmeh CityBand\, joins us for the culminating performance of our Global Rhythms season. This virtuosic quartet is known for their deftly personalized high-energy performances featuring Azmeh’s expressive clarinet alongside Kyle Sanna’s rustic guitar\, soaring over the dynamic and volatile backdrop of John Hadfield’s percussion and Josh Myers’ double bass. Join us for an unforgettable performance by this incredible group and experience Azmeh’s utterly distinctive balance of Western classical music with the Middle Eastern folk traditions of his homeland. \nKinan has appeared as soloist with the New York Philharmonic\, the Seattle Symphony\, the Bavarian Radio Orchestra\, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra\, the Qatar Philharmonic\, and the Syrian Symphony Orchestra among others. Kinan is also a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble with whom he was awarded a Grammy in 2017\, and he has shared the stage with Marcel Khalife\, Aynur\, Daniel Barenboim\, and Jivan Gasparian\, among others. The Kinan Azmeh CityBand quartet has toured the US\, France\, England\, Germany\, Holland\, Egypt\, Lebanon\, and Turkey. \nPresented by Town Hall Seattle as part of the Arts & Culture series. \nSingle tickets ($20/$15 for members) on sale now www.townhallseattle.org
