Malayeen.Space Installation
Play House Laboratories, Detroit hosted by Leyya Mona Tawil March 5-9, 2025 Soundcloud Archive Malayeen.Space is a cozy and dreamy installation where community members are invited to sit, reminisce, relax, and share folk songs from their diaspora. As Leyya calls it, it’s “an exchange of memory through songs; constellations of lullabies, village lore, and battlecries shared through the diaspora.” In short sessions, you (and your family, friends, or community members) can sing and share the origin story of your song. Using software created in collaboration with code designer Andrej Hrončo, your song will be transformed and immediately played back to you - modulated by distance, time, origin, and idea. This “future folksong” will be yours to keep, and, with your consent, will join the Malayeen.Space community-generated archive of future folksongs. |

Artistry & Resistance: Experiments in Palestinian American Artmaking
Wednesday, December 4th Art-making is always an experiment– a testing of possibilities meant to create new meanings or forms and/or to teach audiences new ways of looking. Artistic experiments also often re-imagine pre-existing forms and histories and bring these into new spaces or moments in time. This roundtable brings together artists working in film, dance, and sound whose experimentations focus on bringing attention to important themes of Palestinian life, joy, and resistance.

AMP x AANM Artist in Residence 2024 / Ebti
Things and stuff حاجات ومحتاجات Via Ebti / During my residency I want to look into the archives at the Arab American museum and work with the community to create a storybook of objects. A literary archive of sorts that tells our stories through the object we may have been carrying around with us to feel like we belong. Borrowing the title of Sherihan’s Fawazeer I am hoping to engage in a conversation around what unites us as people with different histories, coming from different countries and now being “united” by a common denominator and have this conversation through objects. How do we make home using objects? What do we put in our bags/luggage when we leave How do objects give us a sense of grounding and belonging? What stories would the objects tell if they could speak, what language would it be in? What memories do these objects and items hold? Ebti is a multidisciplinary artist, a self-taught photographer and a translator living between Cairo and San Francisco. She has an MA in translation and intercultural studies from Johannes Gutenberg Universitat, Mainz, and an MFA in Fine Art from California College of the Arts. Ebti is part of “Right window” collective, “Off Hours” collective and is sitting on the curatorial council at Southern Exposure Gallery in San Francisco. Her work was shown in galleries around the US and Egypt. She currently teaches visual arts and photography at Performing Arts Workshop in San Francisco, Bay Area. |

Donia Jarrar's BUTCHER
Presented in partnership with the Center for New Music Concept album and live performance work by Dr. Donia Jarrar Bay Area collaborators include Christian McLaurin, Lara Aburamadan, Manan Kocher Center for New Music, San Francisco Saturday March 23 at 8pm - rsvp/tix Sunday March 24 at 4pm - rsvp/tix This hybrid opera is based on Jarrar’s own experiences with domestic violence, in which she takes on the persona of a vigilante and antihero doling out punishments through the power wielded to her via a sonic cleaver. While her role is rooted in protecting victims and removing the social stigma around domestic violence in our community, she is by no means just or angelic. Jarrar aims to explore what is possible when women, non-binary people and queers of all genders defy, disrupt and destroy the patriarchy through violent means and without mercy, drawing inspiration from horror, science-fiction and the erotic. BUTCHER combines grandiose piano solo pieces with songs written for bass and piano, synthesizer, and oral histories collected from established North African feminist figures and local survivors of DV and intimate partner violence. It has developed into a theatrical work as well, with the songs presenting themselves across 4 acts. |

FREE PALESTINE string quartets by John King
Presented by the Arab American National Museum and Arab.AMP Friday, February 16, 2024 @ 8pm The Auditorium at Arab American National Museum, Dearborn, MI More info here.FREE PALESTINE is an ongoing set of pieces employing Arabic pitch and rhythmic modes which explore sonic, structural and temporal freedoms. The pieces began being titled with the predominant maqam used. Then their titles changed to become the original historic names of Palestinian villages from pre-1948 Palestine, before the Nakbah. These ethnically cleansed villages are significant historically as well as for the current conditions of the ongoing Occupation and Siege. These names for me focus the resistance to the policies of Apartheid, the illegality of the Occupation, and the crimes perpetrated on the people who continue to resist in their steadfast fight for equal rights, equal justice, equal freedoms, and the right of return to their homeland. These villages, from the river to the sea, and their former and future inhabitants must always be acknowledged and kept in our memories. At the AANM, King’s compositions will be performed by The Entropy String Quartet featuring Maritza Figueroa-Garibay, Mike Khoury, Indira Edwards and Jack O’Brien. |

(Edition commissioned for Serendipity Arts Festival 2023) Participatory New Media Installation Projection, Mic, Digital Interface, ‘On Air’ lightbox, Computer Console, Keyboard, Mouse, Standing Table, Fabric, LED lights and Mounted Speakers Holy Flux! Exhibit curated by The Packet 15-23 December 2023 Goa, India MALAYEEN.SPACE aims to revive and preserve cultural narratives that are at risk of being forgotten by encouraging participants to “SING TO THE STARS!”. Simulating a recording studio, Leyya Mona Tawil’s installation invites participants to enter and contribute their own recordings. Once a recording is submitted, the song that plays back is modulated by the participant’s unique answers. The audio transformations are governed by the distance (in km) between the contributor and the location of their song’s origin, their distance in time to this place, and the song’s intent. By involving visitors in the process of recording and sharing, the installation transforms into an evolving archive. By highlighting the importance of remembering and celebrating the stories and traditions of diasporic communities, MALAYEEN.SPACE addresses sacredness as something that is an ongoing, participatory narrative rather than a static collection. |
