SUMMARY:Terranea: Hakawatia of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:8 p.m. ET Friday\, April 28\, 2023\nTERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea\nIn-person at AANM or via Livestream \nPurchase Tickets | Purchase Tickets for livestream\n$10 Students/Seniors\n$12 Museum Members\n$15 General Public\n$5 Livestream \nTERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea is a performance that weaves a contemporary mythology about Terranea\, a sea spirit who gathers those that have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea. Developed collaboratively along the Lebanese and Sicilian coasts\, in the lakes of Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota\, U.S.)\, and with Palestinian water wells and streams in mind\, this dance performance integrates oral histories around bodies of water while delving into the memories water itself can hold. Dancers\, musicians and writers come together to imagine how to embody the lessons of this essential element. At the same time\, we contemplate how our bodies are affected by absurd and deadly blockages\, on land and in water\, that impede free-flowing movement. Looking particularly into the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and water\, where Palestinian bodies\, homes\, olive trees and rights are under attack; where indigenous resistance roots are deep and ignited. As well as the broader crisis of the sea; whereas in its past\, the Mediterranean was a space of free and fluid migration\, the sea is now marked with invisible borders and demarcations of power\, with detrimental effects. \nThrough choreographies\, this piece asks our bodies: How do we unravel the ‘stuckedness’ that builds up and sinks deep under our skin? What grief exists at the moment of departure and which bone does it shake? Where are the songs of our ancestors stored\, and how might we listen to their rhythm? What life-giving connections can we find\, of this earth and of the mythical realm? What is the memory of the sea? \nThis work began in a solo residency at the Arab American National Museum in September of 2020. After 2.5 years of process and collaborations that took place on Turtle Island\, Lebanon and Sicily\, with artists across disciplines and places\, we will return for a residency that will culminate in sharing the performance TERRANEA: hakawatia of the sea. \nPerformance by Body Watani Dance Project; choreographed by Leila and Noelle Awadallah in collaboration with the dancers / performers Nakita Kirchner\, Sharitah Nalule\, Erica Jo Vibar Sherwood\, and Emma Marlar. Thanks to our guest performers who joined us for this tour: \nCollaborators: Original music by Renee Copeland and collaborator Peter James Roduta featuring vocalist Amal Kaawash and Clarissa Bitar. Mythology of Terranea written by Romy Lynn Attieh\, translated by Rana Issa\, and read by Wafika Loubani. Farrah Basyouni\, and Leila Awadallah. Film by Leila Awadallah with assistance from Xiaolu Wang. Images by Zaynab Mourad.

SUMMARY:Movie: Jaddoland: Streaming
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis: JADDOLAND explores the meaning of home and the search for belonging across generations. When the filmmaker returns to her hometown in the Texas panhandle to visit her mother\, an artist from Iraq\, she turns her lens on her mother’s increasingly isolated life\, as well as the beauty and solace that emerge through her creative process. Soon\, the filmmaker’s charismatic grandfather arrives\, still longing for the homeland he recently left.  While the shadow of geopolitical and historical forces looms on the periphery\, the filmmaker searches for unexpected moments of meaning in the everyday\, subtly weaving threads between past and present\, her mother’s work and her own. In doing so\, she draws an artful and deeply intimate portrait of one family reimagining its relationships to the places they call home. \nWe are thrilled to present creative and award-winning documentary JADDOLAND\, this month on the Arab FIlm Series online! \n  \nOnline Screening: April 27-30 \nFree / $5 suggested donation \nRSVP at arabfilmseries.org \nAvailable in North America \n  \nProgram includes a pre-recorded Q&A with filmmaker Nadia Shihab \nJaddoland\, Nadia Shihab\, USA\, 2018\, 90 min. \nEnglish \n  \nThe Arab Film Series online is a monthly program of films and discussions with artists and filmmakers from the SWANA region and its diasporas\, presented by ArteEast in partnership with the Arab American National Museum and Arab Film and Media Institute.

SUMMARY:Movie: Nine Parts:  PBS Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:Film available for screening through April 30\, 2023\n\nNine Parts – PBS Broadcast\nA film by Mike Mosallam\, Heather Raffo and Nilou Safinya\nStreaming on PBS – Watch now! \nUprooted after her father’s death during the pandemic\, an Iraqi American woman attempts to grieve at the site of the oldest Iraqi Church in North America. What starts in profound isolation\, becomes communal as Iraqi women\, ordinary and extraordinary\, come to her in spirit and ancestry with their personal stories of love and resilience. Together\, they offer a celebration of the Iraqi female experience and an explicit warning – the divisions Iraq endured are not unique\, Iraq is a bellwether for America now. \nNearly 20 years ago\, 9 Parts of Desire premiered to widespread acclaim on London stages and Off-Broadway\, later becoming a global theatrical phenomenon. Now\, Heather Raffo adapts her multi-award-winning solo play about Iraqi women for the screen and for our current time. From Iraq to Michigan\, Raffo transforms into a wide cross-section of Iraqi women in her inspiring exploration of love and grief within countries undone by division\, violence and loss. \nWatch an interview with Heather Raffo and AANM Public Programming Coordinator\, Fatima Al-Rasool\, on PBS NewsHour about the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. \n\nHeather Raffo is a singular and outstanding voice in the American theater whose work has been championed by the New Yorker as “an example of how art can remake the world.” Having helped forge a new genre of Arab American theater\, she’s spent her career writing and embodying stories of Iraq: from the lives and dreams of Iraqi women in her seminal work 9 Parts of Desire (2003)\, to the suicidal ideation of an Iraq war veteran in the opera Fallujah (2012)\, to the restless longings of an Iraqi refugee architect in Noura (2018). A multi award-winning writer and actor\, she’s toured nationally and internationally: from the Kennedy Center to The Aspen Ideas Festival and from London’s House of Commons to the U.S. Islamic World Forum. Her newly released anthology\, Heather Raffo’s Iraq Plays: The Things That Can’t Be Said\, brings together two decades of her most groundbreaking contributions to the American theater and speaks to the bravery required to be at the forefront of a movement. Her newest Migration Play Cycle\, her most ambitious theatrical imagining in scale and scope\, situates themes around migration and the global economy. Being raised in the Midwest and the daughter of an Iraqi immigrant\, Raffo has committed her artistic practice to working across all kinds of borders: on mainstages and in rural communities; with the military and in the Arab world; in swing states and in refugee facilities. She is uniquely positioned to explore what migration means for an ever-evolving American and global identity. Photo credit for headshot is:  Satya Tisman Photography

SUMMARY:Set of Experimental Short Films: Measures of Longing: Streaming
DESCRIPTION:This set of experimental short films explores the connections between language\, memory\, and home. While inseparable elements for some\, for others they pose the very obstacles preventing them from connecting to their identities. With this in mind\, the filmmakers question how language shapes our memories of home and––inversely––how our recollections of the past are sculpted by the mother tongue we did (or did not) learn to speak. The films are poetic in form and content and take us on a journey from the coasts of Egypt to the water wheels of Hama\, Syria to an abandoned family home in Baghdad. They beautifully weave images of texts\, nature\, cityscapes\, and personal archives to convey a perpetual longing for a life that could have been. \n  \nAbout the filmmaker: \nRanda Ali is a writer and director working between Los Angeles and Cairo. She is a 4th year MFA candidate at UCLA’s directing program\, where she is a recipient of the Hani Farsi scholarship\, a full-ride award to female filmmakers from the Arab world. Randa’s work often explores themes of alienation\, defeat and the desire to connect in a continuously changing world. She is interested in telling stories of individuals through their relationship with their cities. In 2022\, Randa was a recipient of the Delia Salvi Memorial Award for Directing the Actor. She is currently in post-production for her latest short film\, Mango\, and in development for her first feature film project\, Gigi. In addition to making films\, Randa was a journalist in Egypt for nearly 8 years.

Slowly she is taken apart by the reality around her and is forced to confront her own internal anger. She meets Emad\, a young Palestinian whose ambition\, contrary to hers\, is to leave forever. Tired of the constraints that dictate their lives\, they know in order to be free\, they must take things into their own hands\, even if it’s illegal. \n  \nStreaming virtually through Arab Film Media Institute (AFMI)

SUMMARY:International Book Club with ArabLit and Alice Guthrie
DESCRIPTION:About the Book \nMalika Moustadraf is a cult feminist icon in contemporary Moroccan literature\, celebrated for her uncompromising depiction of life on the margins. \nSomething Strange\, Like Hunger presents Moustadraf’s collected short fiction: haunting\, visceral stories by a master of the genre. Here\, we tune into Casablanca’s unheard: a sex worker struggling to keep warm on the streets; a housewife flirting with strangers online; a kidney patient\, priced-out of treatment\, facing the harsh reality of his condition; and a mother scheming to ensure her daughter passes a virginity test. Something Strange\, Like Hunger is a sharp provocation to patriarchal power\, and a celebration of the life and genius of one of Morocco’s preeminent writers. \nAbout the Author \nMalika Moustadraf (1969–2006) was a writer from Casablanca\, Morocco\, celebrated for her distinctive style and experimental language. An exacting social critic\, she wrote unflinchingly about life in the margins and was persecuted for her taboo-busting subject matter. Denied the life-saving treatment she needed\, Moustadraf died at thirty-seven of kidney disease\, leaving behind a semiautobiographical novel and a collection of short stories. Something Strange\, Like Hunger is the first full-length translation of her work into any language. \nAbout the Translator \nAlice Guthrie is an independent translator\, editor and curator specialising in contemporary Arabic writing. Her work often focuses on subaltern voices\, activist art and queerness (winning her the 2019 Jules Chametzky Translation Prize). She programmed the literary strand of London’s Arab arts biennale Shubbak Festival between 2015 and 2019\, and has curated queer Arab arts events for the Edinburgh International Book Festival\, Outburst International Queer Arts Festival and Arts Canteen. Guthrie teaches translation at the University of Exeter and the University of Birmingham.

SUMMARY:International Women's Day Artist Talk with Mary Hazboun
DESCRIPTION:March 8 is International Women’s Day\, so join Museum of the Palestinian People in celebrating Palestinian women artists! This artist talk will feature Mary Hazboun\, the Palestinian artist behind “The Art of Weeping\,” a collection of 50+ original drawings currently on show at Museum of the Palestinian People in Washington\, D.C. \nAbout Mary: \nMary Hazboun is a multidisciplinary Chicago-based artist who practices “ The Art of Weeping” as an act of processing grief and somatic healing of bodies through drawing and singing. Mary’s work highlights the nuanced traumas of women and their resistance against different forms of oppression that is manifested in the military machine\, patriarchal societies\, and forced migrations. She uses art\, ceremonies\, and performance for emptying blocked emotions\, opening internal space\, and pouring in trauma-informed introspections as a form of healing. Mary was born and raised in the city of Bethlehem and moved to the U.S in 2004. \nTickets are by donation\, and after reserving your spot you will receive a Zoom link to join the artist talk on March 8 at 12 p.m. Resilience Monthly Club members can use the code 1948 to attend this event for free.
