SUMMARY:Virtual Conversation with Mohammed El-Kurd and Robin D.G. Kelley
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, February 11th\, join Mohammed El-Kurd and Robin D.G. Kelley for a virtual conversation to mark the release of Perfect Victims. \n  \nPerfect Victims is an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal―an ode to the steadfastness of a nation. \nPalestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire\, stubborn\, fragmented\, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence\, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured—the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. \nWhy must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision\, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood\, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye\, forgoing both deference and condemnation. \nHow we see Palestine reveals how we see each other; how we see everything else. Masterfully combining candid testimony\, history\, and reportage\, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian. \nPre-order Perfect Victims through Bookshop or wherever good books are sold: http://www.bookshop.org/a/1039/9798888903155 \n***Register through Ticket Tailor to receive a link to the live-streamed video on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and captioning will be provided.*** \nSpeakers: \nMohammed El-Kurd is a writer\, poet\, journalist\, and organizer from Jerusalem\, occupied Palestine. He is the Nation’s first-ever Palestine Correspondent and editor-at-large at Mondoweiss\, the recipient of numerous honors and awards\, and the author of the highly-acclaimed poetry collection Rifqa\, which has been translated into several languages. \nRobin D.G. Kelley is Professor and Gary B. Nash Endowed Chair in U.S. History at UCLA. He is the author of Hammer and Hoe\, Race Rebels\, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination\, and Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original\, among other titles. His writing has been featured in the Journal of American History\, American Historical Review\, Black Music Research Journal\, African Studies Review\, New York Times\, The Crisis\, The Nation\, and Voice Literary Supplement.

SUMMARY:Meeting Ibn Arabi: His Life and Teachings
DESCRIPTION:MIAS Education Team is offering this course as a guided group exploration into Ibn Arabi´ s life and teachings\, based on the book by Claude Addas\, The Voyage of No Return. The course is open to all and is designed especially for those less familiar with Ibn Arabi. You might be considering joining one of our Voyage courses and would like to ‘meet’ Ibn Arabi as a preparation. We also welcome those already acquainted with Ibn Arabi’s work and wish to know more about his life and the context within which he lived\, traveled\, and wrote. \nSaturday 25th January 5:00 pm – 8:30 pm GMT with a half-hour break \nSunday 26th January 5:00 pm- 8:30 GMT with a half-hour break \nIntroductory Video \nhttps://youtu.be/c8FnWl0O5Eg \nImage ‘”Ibn Arabi on his mule addressing students in the 21st century” by Yasmin Hayat \n\n\n\n\nContent and Method\nThe book consists of twelve fairly short chapters. Participants will be required to read the material before the session and to note any questions they have. During the sessions\, we will discuss any questions and clarify concepts and terminology. Additional excerpts from other works may enrich our understanding during the sessions. We invite you to share any inspiration or thoughts about the text. This course is not composed of lectures and it is not an academic study. Rather\, it is an interactive group discussion and a personal engagement with Ibn Arabi. We hope that it thereby serves as a small taster for the Voyage courses. \nThe course will consist of two sessions Saturday and Sunday. Each session will last 1.5 hours\, with a half-hour break\, giving a total of six hours. \nThe book can be bought here: https://its.org.uk/catalogue/ibn-arabi-the-voyage-of-no-return-paperback/ \nor from Amazon: \nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Ibn-Arabi-Voyage-No-Return/dp/1911141406/ref=sr_1_1?crid=21GG8H6JBU4Z2&keywords=Voyage+of+no+return&qid=1691926854&sprefix=voyage+of+no+return%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-1

SUMMARY:Marketing the Occupation: Part Three - The Social Media Battleground in a Time of War
DESCRIPTION:Israel and pro-Israel advocacy groups have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on social media messaging to build “Brand Israel” and sway U.S. public opinion. Such campaigns have influenced elections\, inserted falsehoods into news cycles\, and intimated decision-makers into funding weapons for Israel. But there is resistance. For example\, Wikipedia has deemed the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) “a generally unreliable source” on the war in Gaza. Students assert their First Amendment rights\, protesting on campuses\, advocating for boycotts\, and sharing news directly from Gaza. What are the dimensions of this social media battle for the “hearts and minds” of the American public? \n  \nWatch the curated videos for free at your convenience. | Join the Q&A discussion with: \nOmar Zahzah – Assistant Professor\, AMED Studies\, San Francisco State University \nKatie Halper – Host\, “The Katie Halper Show” (WBAI); Co-Host\, “Useful Idiots” \nBryce Greene – FAIR Student Organizer\, Indiana University Bloomington \nMaya Berry – (Moderator) Executive Director\, Arab American Institute \n  \nRegister now:  Tinyurl.com/VFHL-January2025 \nWatch the trailer: https://tinyurl.com/VFHL-TrailerJanuary2025

SUMMARY:Listening for Land – Al Juthoor of the Arab Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Listening for Land – Al Juthoor of the Arab Diaspora / Huda Asfour & Farah Barqawi Register for in-person attendance OR Register for livestream Museum Members: $10 Student/Senior: $12 General Public: $15 Livestream: $5 Our final event in the series\, we welcome Al-Juthoor (“Roots”) of the Arab Diaspora from the Bay Area. Al Juthoor is a celebrated Dabke troupe that raises awareness about Arab and Palestinian struggle\, culture\, and art. Their powerful dances are fueled with pride as they cue our collective resistance. Al Juthoor Choreographer Wael Buhaissy will work with local dancers from Thowra Dabke for a group performance and the evening will be layered with performances by Huda Asfour (oud) and Farah Barqawi (poetry)\, sharing excerpts from “Journey from Gaza to Brooklyn”. Al-Juthoor (“Roots” in Arabic) of the Arab Diaspora is a Dabkeh troupe that raises awareness about Arab and Palestinian struggle\, culture\, and art. Directed by Wael Buhaissy\, Al-Juthoor empowers our community and youth to take pride in our heritage\, our past\, and our future by honoring our history and celebrating our resistance. Across the borders of our diaspora\, we assert our community’s connection to our deep roots in the land and the people throughout the Arab world\, from Iraq\, Lebanon\, Jordan\, Syria\, and Palestine. Farah Barqawi is a Palestinian author\, performer\, educator and a feminist organizer. Her poetry and essays have appeared in multiple languages on online platforms and anthologies. In 2019\, she produced and hosted a season of the Arabic podcast Eib (Shame). She wrote and performed her solo piece\, “Baba\, Come to Me.” She is the co-founder of two feminist projects: Wiki Gender and The Uprising of Women in the Arab World. She is a MFA candidate in Creative Writing at NYU\, where she also teaches creative writing to undergraduates. @farah_barqawi_ Huda Asfour is a Palestinian musician whose music\, through the tenderness of her oud and the lyricism of her compositions\, challenges taboos and stereotypes. A polymath with works in the fields of music\, biomedical engineering\, signal and image processing\, and social work\, she has toured the world and has released two studio albums: Mars\, Back and Forth”(2011) and Kouni(2018). @hudasmusic This event is part of The Sounds We Keep\, curated by Leyya Mona Tawil. The Sounds We Keep is a performance series by AANM guest curator Leyya Mona Tawil\, Director of Arab.AMP. Experimenting with themes inherent to our diaspora\, the artists in this series use sound\, voice\, composition and movement in an attempt to create a record of our journey and invoke our future. Each program brings together Arab American artists from separate regions of the U.S. This tuning of diasporic forms through music and performance reveals the complexity of our cultural references through the instruments\, the approaches and conversations that ensue.
