SUMMARY:Celebrating Black History Month: A Special Conversation with Zainab Khan and Hon. Charif Hachim
DESCRIPTION:MALA Executive Director and Co-Founder sits down with Charif Hachim\, the Honorary Consul General to Comoros to discuss Black History Month\, diplomacy\, and community advocacy during these unique times.\nJoin us for this special “Fire-Side” discussion as we celebrate the closing of Black History Month and consider what lies in store for our local and international communities in 2022.\n\nAbout Honorary Consul General Charif Hachim\nThe Honorable Charif Hachim was born in Moroni\, the capital of the Comoros. He earned an undergraduate degree from a French business school and holds an MBA from Roosevelt University (Chicago). As the first Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in a major U.S. city\, he looks forward to establishing commercial\, cultural\, and scientific relations between the Comoros Islands and the Midwest Region of the United States.\nIn 2013 the U.S. State Department confirmed Mr. Hachim as the new Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in Chicago. A few months earlier\, the Comorian Government\, under the leadership of His Excellency Dr. Ikililou Dhoinine\, had formally informed the U.S. government of its intention to appoint Mr. Hachim as the first Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in Chicago.\nThe Honorable Charif Hachim is the perfect person to promote\, cultivate and sustain a relationship between the Comoros and the Midwest Region of the United States due to his business background\, as well as his passion and understanding for both cultures.\nIn addition to his status as Honorary Consul General\, Mr. Hachim works full time as a Business Manager in the public sector.

SUMMARY:Irish Art in Practice: Legacies of Justice
DESCRIPTION:The Irish American Heritage Center\, in partnership with the Consulate General of Ireland\, Midwest\, presents Irish Art in Practice. Join Jennifer Keating\, Ph.D. as she brings us through the world of Irish arts and artists\, and the living applications and impressions it makes on the world around us. Jennifer Keating is a Senior Lecturer and the Writing in the Disciplines Specialist in the William S. Dietrich II Institute for Writing Excellence. Most recently\, she served as Assistant Dean for Educational Initiatives in the Dietrich College for Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. She brings an educator’s perspective to this fascinating series. \nLegacies of Justice\, March 3rd\, 7:00pm CST\nIn 2014 filmmaker Mairéad McClean was awarded the MAC International prize for her film No More. This meditation on the implications of Internment Without Trial in 1971 resonated the world over as evidence of torture and prisoner abuse emerged from Guantanamo Bay to Abu Ghraib. In Legacies of Justice we will screen the short film and discuss its explorations and symbolism. McClean\, daughter of civil-rights activist Paddy-Joe McClean\, interrogates concepts of security and the political contortions of conflict in this work. Together we will discuss its poetic meditation on these infringements on human rights in the name of security\, as we also bring examples like Rita Duffy’s painting\, Guantanamo amas amat\, and Paula McFetridge’s staging of Convictions in the Crumlin Road Courthouse\, to bear on the conversation.
