San Francisco Arab Heritage Month Celebration Today

'Axis of Light' Screening at The United Nations Film Festival at Stanford on 10/23

Axis of Light
(60 min) Algeria/France/Iran/Jordan/Lebanon/Tunisia/UK [watch trailer]
[buy tickets]

Thursday, 10/25, 4:00pm (Session XXIII)

Director: Nichola Bruce, Pia Getty
Producer: Pia Getty



http://youtu.be/fcTANGeTzZY

Description:
Axis of Light is a poignant observation through the work of eight leading artists—
Rachid Koraichi, Jananne al-Ani, Etel Adnan, Shirin Neshat, Youssef Nabil, Mona
Hatoum, Mona Saudi and Ayman Baalbaki—to discover the beauty and mystery of the Middle East, which is often ignored, especially today where strife, anger and violence demand centre stage in our media, and where stereotypes and prejudices distort our view of this region. Through their eyes, the film moves between the worlds of both the East and the West and the past and present, exploring the meaning of their existence, identity, conflicts of sexuality, the isolation of woman and the fragility of home and place. It is a story of hope, but one that recognizes the power of expression, often against all odds.


Biography:
Pia Getty’s film projects include Women Of Peace, a series of filmed conversations with women from around the world. Her first documentary, China Power—Art Now After Mao, received international success and critical acclaim in 2008. The film reveals China’s burgeoning and vibrant art scene, introducing the West to some of the country’s leading artists, including Ai Weiwei, Cao Fei, Wang Jianwei and Yuan Yong Ping. Shown at the Serpentine and Saatchi galleries in London, it was featured on Channel 4, Sky, Sundance France, ABC Australia, Ovation USA and has been acquired by the Asian Art Archives in Hong Kong. It also won Best Documentary at the HD Fest New York. It was during 1976 that Pia Getty’s connection to the Middle East began: “I saw through my friends’ eyes the turmoil that war and civil unrest in their countries created in them.”

Nichola Bruce works with the moving image and has made acclaimed films, dramas, installations and arts documentaries, including collaborations with artists such as Laurie Anderson The Human Face, Rachel Whiteread The Vienna Memorial and The Dramatic Art of Stephen Berkoff. She has also worked with Peter Gabriel on interactive music projects. Nichola was awarded a National Endowment for Science Technology and The Arts Fellowship UK creating theStrangeness of Seeing twenty-six moving image works on perception with Rebecca E Marshall. She continues to film Randometer; a lifelong experimental film archive.

Artwork by Edward Decker: Tribute to Fairuz and Dalida

This amazing artwork was made by Edward Decker as part of a project for his printing class in college.

It depicts two of the Arab world's most beloved Divas:  Fairuz and Dalida.  The sign with the ribbon in between indicates the 'Ashrafieh' neighborhood in Beirut, Lebanon.

The Routledge Introduction to Qur'anic Arabic By Munther Younes

The Routledge Introduction to Qur'anic Arabic
By Munther Younes

The Routledge Introduction to Qur’anic Arabic is an innovative, text-based, language course designed for students interested in acquiring a foundation in Qur’anic and Classical Arabic.

Focused on enhancing comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, the book contains 40 lessons designed to be covered in about 40 hours of classroom instruction. Starting with the shorter suras of the Qur’an, such as al-fatia and those of the Juz’ ‘Amma, it utilizes their recurring vocabulary and grammatical structures to build a stable linguistic foundation for learners before moving on to more challenging and longer suras such as Yasin, Maryam and Yusuf.

Although the book is primarily designed for classroom use, the vocabulary and structures of the short suras, the accompanying audio recordings, and the activities found throughout the book will also be helpful for independent learners. The only prerequisite is knowledge of the Arabic writing system.

The audio material, which is available on the Routledge website, helps learners improve their pronunciation of individual sounds and develop their skills to syllabify Arabic words and phrases correctly in order to approximate that of native speakers.

Written by an experienced teacher, The Routledge Introduction to Qur’anic Arabic is an essential guide for instructors, students and anyone interested in developing their knowledge of Qur’anic Arabic.

Mashrou' Leila in Concert in Montreal on Oct 25

ABOUT MASHROU' LEILA:
Born of a nocturnal encounter at the American University of Beirut in 2008, Mashrou’ Leila is a seven-member band that fuses the craftiness of a music workshop with the punch of stadium rock. With their distinct approach to
storytelling and orchestration, they have crafted some of the most melancholic ballads and raucous anthems in contemporary alternative Arabic music, and went on to perform them live at sold-out venues in Lebanon, Cairo, Amman, Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Serbia.

Their eponymous debut album and the 7al Romacy EP unfold like cinematographic fictions starring lovesick characters in desolate motels or wandering insomniacs in ghostly cities. At times quirky and playful, at others bitter and somber, the songs demonstrate the band’s great versatility in dealing with musical form, narrative, and social issues.

Bahia Shehab: A Thousand Times No

Art historian Bahia Shehab has long been fascinated with the Arabic script for ‘no.’ When revolution swept through Egypt in 2011, she began spraying the image in the streets saying no to dictators, no to military rule and no to violence.

TED Fellow Bahia Shehab sends an important message through her street art in Cairo: “You can crush the flowers, but you can’t delay spring."

Stanford Professor H. Samy Alim Discusses 'Articulate While Black' on MSNBC

H. Samy Alim (right) on MSNBC on Oct 8, 2012

Dr. H. Samy Alim, the Egyptian American author of Articulate While Black was a guest on MSNBC's The Cycle on October 8, 2012 where he discussed just how interesting a linguistic figure President Obama is because of his ability to “code switch” between black and white speech patterns.

DR. H. SAMY ALIM
H. Samy Alim is an Associate Professor in the Social Sciences, Humanities, and Interdisciplinary Policy Studies in Education (SHIPS) program faculty in Educational Linguistics and holds by courtesy appointments in Anthropology and Linguistics. His goal is to illuminate the relationships between language, race and ethnicity across a wide range of social, cultural and educational contexts. His research integrates rigorous linguistic analysis with in-depth, ethnographic engagement in local communities to contribute to theory and methodology in education, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, and race and ethnic studies. Alim develops this knowledge with the twin goals of understanding how youth make sense of their social worlds and communities and helping them do so by impacting teacher preparation, pedagogy and policy. He has an interest in language, literacy, and youth culture, particularly Hip Hop Culture, and critical language awareness for socially marginalized and linguistically profiled populations.
