SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: The Timeless Thobe – Documenting Land\, Heritage & Culture in Palestinian Dress
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, May 24\, 2025\n\nTime: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM EST\nLocation: Online\, Zoom link will be emailed 24 hours prior to event\nInstructor: Wafa Ghnaim\, Dress Historian\, Researcher & Educator\nRegistration Fee: Sliding scale \nThe thobe\, a traditional hand embroidered dress made and worn by Palestinian women for centuries\, is the bedrock of Palestinian identity through heritage\, culture and land. For millennia\, women in the eastern Mediterranean have showcased their skillful stitchery on their traditional dress\, displaying unique motifs\, colors and styles across the various villages of old Palestine. \nAfter 1948\, over 750\,000 Palestinians were forced into exile\, carrying their dressmaking and embroidery traditions with them into refugee camps and around the world. As the diaspora spread across the globe\, the largest and longest-standing population of displaced people in the world\, the thobe evolved into a symbol of national and cultural identity beyond borders. \nIn this live virtual lecture\, dress historian\, researcher\, and educator Wafa Ghnaim will explore the evolution of the thobe and the visual language of tatreez (embroidery) as used on traditional Palestinian dress. From village styles to diasporic adaptations\, this talk offers a compelling look at how dress documents the intertwined threads of history\, memory\, and identity. \nWhat You’ll Receive:\n\nLive access to the 2-hour lecture\nA recording for 7 days after the live session\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nTickets are nonrefundable.\nThis is a live\, virtual event hosted via Zoom.\nRegistration closes at 10:00 AM EST on May 24\, 2025.\nA Zoom link will be sent via email the day before the event.\nThe instructor reserves the right to review and decline registrations at her discretion to ensure a respectful and safe learning environment for all participants.\nSpace is limited to ensure an intimate and interactive experience.\nSharing your camera is required.

SUMMARY:Contemporary Translated Works Book Group: Sand-Catcher by Omar Khalifah\, Translated by Barbara Romaine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group – Now Monthly! \nMechanics’ Institute\, in partnership with the Center for the Art of Translation and our new presenting partner\, Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum\, is thrilled to announce the expansion of the Contemporary Translated Works Book Group into a monthly\, member-led series! Beginning Spring 2025\, we will host lunchtime discussions (12:00–1:00 pm PT) online via Zoom on the third Wednesday of each month\, featuring thought-provoking literary selections from around the world. \nFour young\, Palestinian journalists at a Jordanian newspaper are tasked\, on account of their heritage\, with profiling one of the last living witnesses of the Nakba\, the violent expulsion of native Palestinians by the nascent state of Israel in 1948. The old man has no desire to be interviewed\, no desire for his memories to be preserved\, no desire to serve as an inspiration for the youth of tomorrow. As threats from the team’s editor-in-chief put more and more pressure on the journalists\, they must decide just how far they’re willing to go to get the old man on the record. \nJoin us at 11:30 AM for a Q&A with the translator before the discussion at 12:00 PM. \nFree to Folio members.\nLearn more and get tickets >> \nOrder Sand-Catcher >>
