SUMMARY:Dipika Mukherjee: Dialect of Distant Harbors Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Dipika Mukherjee: Dialect of Distant Harbors Book Launch \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nSouth Asia Institute Presents \nDipika Mukherjee: Dialect of Distant Harbors Book Launch\nSaturday\, October 15\, 2022 \nDipika Mukherjee\nDipika Mukherjee moved to Chicago from Shanghai in 2012 and spends a lot of time at the neighborhood Harold Washington Public Library. She is the author of the novels Shambala Junction and Ode to Broken Things\, and the story collection\, Rules of Desire. Her writing is included in The Best Small Fictions 2019 and appears in World Literature Today\, Asia Literary Review\, Del Sol Review\, Chicago Quarterly Review\, Newsweek\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, Hemispheres and Orion. She teaches at the Graham School at University of Chicago and at StoryStudio Chicago. \nDialect of Distant Harbors (Available for Purchase at Event)\nDipika Mukherjee \nUS/UK Publication Date: October 4\, 2022 \nPaper $18.00 • 112 p. • 6 x 9 • 978-1-933880-93-8 \nThis poetry collection explores themes of home\, grieving\, and kinship. \nWith wonder\, empathy\, and even rage\, Dialect of Distant Harbors summons a shared humanity to examine issues of illness and family. Dipika Mukherjee’s poems redefine belonging and migration in a misogynistic and racist world. “A grievous vastness to this world\,” she writes\, “beyond human experience.” \nAs the world recovers from a global pandemic and the failure of modern government\, these poems are incantations to our connections to the human family—whether in Asia\, Europe\, or the United States. Dialect of Distant Harbors focuses on what is most resilient in ourselves and our communities.

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club - The Island of Missing Trees
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club! \nIn October\, we will be discussing The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak\, shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction. \nBook Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CDT via Zoom. \n  \nMore about The Island of Missing Trees: \n“A wise novel of love and grief\, roots and branches\, displacement and home\, faith and belief. Balm for our bruised times.” ―David Mitchell\, author of Utopia Avenue \nA rich\, magical new novel on belonging and identity\, love and trauma\, nature and renewal\, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. \nTwo teenagers\, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot\, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home. In the taverna\, hidden beneath garlands of garlic\, chili peppers and creeping honeysuckle\, Kostas and Defne grow in their forbidden love for each other. A fig tree stretches through a cavity in the roof\, and this tree bears witness to their hushed\, happy meetings and eventually\, to their silent\, surreptitious departures. The tree is there when war breaks out\, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble\, and when the teenagers vanish. Decades later\, Kostas returns. He is a botanist looking for native species\, but really\, he’s searching for lost love. \nYears later a Ficus carica grows in the back garden of a house in London where Ada Kazantzakis lives. This tree is her only connection to an island she has never visited— her only connection to her family’s troubled history and her complex identity as she seeks to untangle years of secrets to find her place in the world. \nA moving\, beautifully written\, and delicately constructed story of love\, division\, transcendence\, history\, and eco-consciousness\, The Island of Missing Trees is Elif Shafak’s best work yet. \nOn the New York Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks * A New York Times Notable Book * A Barack Obama Favorite * A National Book Award Finalist * Named a Best Book of the Year by Fresh Air\, Time\, Entertainment Weekly\, Associated Press\, and many more.

SUMMARY:Syria: The Frontlines of Displacement
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT: \nJoin the co-editors of Witnesses to War: The Children of Syria\, Karam Foundation\, ART WORKS Projects\, and event sponsor\, Howard Conant\, Jr.\, for a discussion and exhibition of acclaimed photojournalist Bassam Khabieh’s nearly decade long project\, Witnesses to War: The Children of Syria. \nKhabieh (joining via live feed) and Lina Sergie Attar\, CEO and Founder of the Karam Foundation\, will be in conversation to discuss Khabieh’s unique and personal perspective\, the impact of the ongoing war in Syria on children\, and the ongoing challenges facing the 3.6 million registered Syrian refugees currently living in Turkey as well as those living in other parts of the globe. \nGlobally\, we have surpassed 100 million refugees worldwide\, most recently due to the war in Ukraine. While attention has been shifted to supporting Ukrainian refugees\, we welcome this opportunity to connect with our Chicago-land community members to draw lessons learned from different contexts and treatments of refugees\, and how we can take action. \nABOUT WITNESSES TO WAR: THE CHILDREN OF SYRIA \nWitnesses to War: The Children of Syria – book and exhibition – provides an insider’s account of the impact that the war in Syria has had on children. \nFrom the rebel held area of Eastern Ghouta\, Witnesses to War illustrates\, through photographs and stories\, the incredible resilience of Syria’s young in the face of violence. Children and their families held onto fragments of normalcy through schools conducted in basements\, street games played in the temporary lull of battle\, and events and holidays celebrated under tenuous conditions. \nKhabieh did not start out as a photographer. When the war broke out in Syria\, he was studying computer science at Damascus University. As the violence escalated there and around the country\, it was clear that there was an urgent need for Syrian photographers to ensure that the world knew what was happening in his increasingly isolated and dangerous homeland. Throughout the conflict—until mid-2018\, when the Syrian regime captured Douma\, his hometown—he remained in the region\, working as a photojournalist for many international media outlets and gaining international acclaim. \nIn this 11th anniversary year of the Syrian Arab Spring\, Syria remains in crisis. There are still millions of displaced people who are living in refugee camps either inside Syria or in Jordan\, Lebanon\, and Turkey. Thousands of missing detainees are suffering inside security interrogation centers. And\, the economic situation in Syria is deteriorating daily as poverty and hunger spread. \nBooks will be available for sale during the event. 100% of the proceeds go to outreach\, advocacy\, and the support of Syrian refugee youth and communities through Karam Foundation.

SUMMARY:Journey Chicago: Stories that Travel: Mythology\, Folklore\, and Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of Journey Chicago\, the Chicago Cultural Alliance’s annual citywide festival of cross-cultural events. \nA panel discussion focusing on the varied relationships different Diaspora communities have with the mythological & folklore stories of their culture of origin. We are specifically interested in interrogating the ways in which different communities invest in or distance themselves from their ancient/classical mythology and folklore in the American Diaspora\, and how those relationships have shifted over time. We will examine this question through both an academic & artistic lens. \n  \nOur Panel: \nAnna Cai (they/them) is a queer Indonesian Chinese American community-driven artist currently living in Chicago who explores the futurities of Asian diasporic identity through relationships\, textiles\, costume\, performance\, film\, graphic design\, and print media. At the center of their creative and social practice is a desire to steer their community into a future that embraces a transformation of fiction and reality and rejects outdated constructs of nation\, gender and capital. \nCai has received multiple awards for their work in art\, design\, and community engagement. They were a finalist in Lesotho Fashion Week of 2018 and their work in film has been selected for Lesotho Film Festival between the years of 2018-2020. Most recently they were a recipient of the 2020 New Artist Society scholarship\, the 2022 Caxton Book Club grant\, and Graphic Design USA’s 2022 Students to Watch Award. They are also a member of the 2022 Spring Tanda Artist Research fellowship program hosted by Chuquimarca Art Library in Chicago\, Illinois. They have collaborated with several organizations internationally including the Morija Arts Centre\, The Hub in Morija\, Lesotho Girls in Tech\, the Public Housing Authority of Residents in Charlottesville\, the White House Kitchen Garden initiative\, and the Chinese Historical Society of Memphis & the Midsouth. They have initiated numerous independent publications and initiatives such as The Morija Makers (2018)\, Stories from Westhaven (2016)\, and the upcoming Chicago-based independent magazine Tongues (2022). \nThey received a BS in Architecture from the University of Virginia. In 2016 to 2018 they served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Lesotho. Upon leaving the organization\, Cai apprenticed with a local textile artist and began exploring identity expression through wearable sculpture and performance. During this time\, they gained invaluable experience on how to build trusting relationships and engage in art-making that embraces an art practice at the intersection of community building\, education\, and design. They recently completed an MFA Visual Communication program at the School of the Arts Institute of Chicago where they were immersed in rituals that combine mythology\, pleasure\, play\, historical fabulation\, and the reclaiming of archives. \nDr. Katherine Kelaidis is the Director of Research and Content at the National Hellenic Museum. She has held research appointments at the American University in Cairo\, Oxford University\, and the Free University Berlin. She is also a Senior Editor at Religion Dispatches. Dr. Kelaidis holds a B.A. in Classical Languages from the University of California\, Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Classics from the University of London. \n  \nCori Nakamura Lin a midwest-based Japanese//Taiwanese-American illustrator and designer specializing in movement art and culture-centered storytelling. By visualizing narratives and illuminating concepts\, Cori makes art that fuels action. Some current projects include illustrating curriculum covering Japanese American Resettlement to Chicago in partnership with Katherine Nagasawa\, JASC\, and the JACS Grant\, and illustrating Cori’s sister\, Jami Nakamura Lin’s\, forthcoming book The Night Parade. \nWebsite: https://corilin.co/\nEtsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CoriLinArt \nInstagram: @cori.lin.art \n  \nJami Nakamura Lin is the author of the illustrated speculative memoir The Night Parade (Mariner/HarperCollins and Scribe UK\, 2023).

SUMMARY:The Greek Diner and the Making of American Cuisine
DESCRIPTION:In this hour-long class\, we will explore the history of the Greek diner and its profound influence on American food culture. On the eve of World War I\, Greek immigrants began buying up the diners abandoned by German Americans facing anti-German persecution brought on by the war. In these kitchens\, the new Greek owners would adapt traditional German travelers’ fare with a touch of the Mediterranean and a pinch of entrepreneurial spirit. The result: A truly American way of cooking and eating.

Share the shame. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nJoin us for a night of humorous storytelling from everyday people in Chicago. We’ve all experienced some kind of embarrassment in our lifetime. Come out and commiserate over some cold beverages at the historic Music Box Theatre. \nWBEZ is presenting three Mortified shows in the upcoming months\, and two of them have special themes. In February we’ll celebrate the pinnacle of humiliating holidays\, Valentine’s Day. After that\, prepare to break out your lightsabers for a Star Wars edition of Mortified on May 4 (the second most embarrassing holiday). \nWitness “personal redemption through public humiliation” in a refreshing show that is equal parts comedic\, cathartic and voyeuristic. Mortified is the largest and longest running project of its kind featuring a cast of Chicago’s bravest souls. Share the shame. \nMortified stars everyday people reading aloud their most embarrassing\, pathetic and private teenage diary entries\, poems\, love letters\, lyrics and locker notes… in front of total strangers. \nMortified Chicago is generously sponsored by Goose Island. \n  \nVIP \nSelecting the VIP add-on during check-out allows you access to the pre-show reception – complimentary drinks provided by Goose Island. As well as priority seating / early access to the theatre. \nGet the bundle! \nMortified Live will also take place at the Music Box on February 12\, 2023 for a special Valentine’s Day edition and May 4\, 2023 to celebrate the inner Star Wars nerd in all of us! Purchase your tickets ahead of time or bundle all three to save! \nCovid-19: Masks strongly recommended.

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club – The Greeks: A Global History
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club! \nIn November\, we will be discussing The Greeks: A Global History by Roderick Beaton\, a sweeping history of the Greeks\, from the Bronze Age to today. This title was selected by members of NHM Virtual Book Club \nBook Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM CST \n  \nMore about The Greeks: A Global History: \nMore than 2\,000 years ago\, the Greek city-states\, led by Athens and Sparta\, laid the foundation for much of modern science\, the arts\, politics\, and law. But the influence of the Greeks did not end with the rise and fall of this classical civilization. As historian Roderick Beaton illustrates\, over three millennia Greek speakers produced a series of civilizations that were rooted in southeastern Europe but again and again ranged widely across the globe. \nIn The Greeks\, Beaton traces this history from the Bronze Age Mycenaeans who built powerful fortresses at home and strong trade routes abroad\, to the dramatic Eurasian conquests of Alexander the Great\, to the pious Byzantines who sought to export Christianity worldwide\, to today’s Greek diaspora\, which flourishes on five continents. The product of decades of research\, this is the story of the Greeks and their global impact told as never before.

SUMMARY:G to G Coaching Session: How To Balance Creative Work & Multiple Projects
DESCRIPTION:SSCAC is thrilled to partner with ILA Creative Studio for their G-to-G Coaching Sessions in a 3-part series of artist development resource workshops that intend to help close the gap of limited\, sustainable business resources\, specific to the needs of Black artists. \nILA Creative Studio’s G-to-G Coaching Sessions are an opportunity for professional practicing artists (18+) to have space to learn and grow in their respective fields – led by a mentor or coach that provides specific insights on a specific topic. These sessions help to translate effective ways for Black artists to achieve sustainability in their fields. \nSo much of our time as practicing artists goes into actually creating our wonderful art\, but we MUST create time where we learn about the necessary business etiquette. Each session will be led by coaches and teaching artists who will provide insight on a specific topic\, with the intention of assisting Black artists to work toward achieving sustainability in their field. \nSecond up\, “How To Balance Creative Work & Multiple Projects”\, led by Adia Sykes and Tiffany Johnson! Where they’ll cover all things project management\, artist development strategies\, and self-care advocacy within the arts. \nSnacks and sponsored coffee will be provided by Sip & Savor. Very limited spots are available. Stay tuned for remaining sessions!

SUMMARY:The Mitchell Museum of the American Indian 45th Anniversary Benefit & Awards Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The Mitchell Museum of the American Indian will honor U.S. Representative Sharice Davids for her significant contributions to Native American society\, culture\, and history at the 45th Anniversary Benefit and Awards Ceremony on November 19\, 2022\, at Writers Theater in Glencoe\, Illinois. \nOur premier event and annual awards ceremony is named for Dr. Carlos Montezuma\, a citizen of the Yavapai-Apache Tribe. He worked as a physician and social justice activist for Native American rights. Dr. Montezuma was the first Native American to earn an undergraduate and a medical degree from Northwestern University. In 1904 he became one of the founders of the Society for American Indians\, which focused on improving the physical\, social\, and economic well-being of Native Americans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nU.S. Representative Sharice Davids will receive the 2022 Dr. Montezuma Award for her contributions to social activism that have advanced Native American people nationally. Rep. Davids is a Ho-Chunk Nation citizen and a member of the U.S. House\, representing Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District. In 2019\, she was sworn into the 116th Congress\, making her one of the first two Native American women to serve in Congress and the first openly LGBTQ+ representative to be elected in Kansas. She was raised by a single mother who served in the Army for 20 years. After graduating from Leavenworth High School\, she worked through Johnson County Community College and the University of Missouri-Kansas City before earning a law degree from Cornell Law School. \nAs a first-generation college student who worked the entire time she was in college\, Rep. Davids understands the importance of quality public schools and affordable higher education. That foundation allowed her to go on to a successful career focused on economic and community development\, which included time as a White House Fellow under President Barack Obama.
