You are invited to The Cultural Committee program “Places that Formed Me,” the first in a series of events designed to delve into the mind of the artist to explore how their experience influences their art. The afternoon program includes a reading of her truthful and often stunning poetry by Zeina Azzam, Palestinian American poet and Poet Laureate Emerita of Alexandria, Virginia.
Following the reading, Barrie Zucal, Chair of the Cultural Committee, will moderate a conversation on how places shaped and informed the artistry of these women. It’s worth noting that Zeina, Barrie and Sueraya all have connections to Beirut, Lebanon.
The event includes a one-night-only pop-up exhibition featuring TRIBE Magazine cover art, celebrating 10 years of the nonprofit publication that focuses on photography & moving image from the Arab region; and the launch of issue 14, curated by co-founder, Syrian American photographer, Sueraya Shaheen.
