SUMMARY:The Mashrabiya: Heritage and Future in Architecture July 20th & 21st
DESCRIPTION:The Mashrabiya: Heritage and Future in Architecture | Museum for Art in Wood and the Center for Architecture + Design | July 20 – 21\, 2023\nRSVP for both days\nRSVP for July 20th HYBRID 10 – 3:30 pm – Center for Architecture + Design\nRSVP for July 21st In-PERSON 3:00 – 7:00 pm – Museum for Art in Wood \nThis is a two-day event \n\nYou are invited to The Mashrabiya: Heritage and Future in Architecture. This two-day hybrid symposium is co-hosted by the Museum for Art in Wood and the Center for Architecture + Design. It will be held on July 20-21\, 2023. \nDespite its power as a signifier of Islamic material culture\, little has been dedicated to the study of the mashrabiya. In this symposium\, architects\, designers\, engineers\, and makers will discuss the potential of the mashrabiya in considering architecture that is sustainable\, culturally meaningful\, and supports the needs of our future spaces. \nThe keynote speaker on July 20th\, will be Senan Abdelqader\, an Arab-Israeli architect\, urban planner\, and professor. He is the author of Architecture of (in)Dependence\, in which he introduces the possibility of transforming rural Palestinian life into contemporary\, contextualized urban life. Abdelqader is also the founder of the Institute for the Study of Arab Culture in Visual Arts\, Design and Architecture. \n  \nPortrait of Senan Abdelqader \nProfessor Senan Abdelqader is a Palestinian practicing architect and urban planner. He is the founder and owner of Senan Architects (SA)\, which he established in 1995. \nThrough working on numerous private and public projects that are sensitive to social and political variables\, Abdelqader has created a public platform where the process of planning is a collective act and a space for civil practices.During his practice in SA\, Abdelqader started teaching at Tel-Aviv University in 1998; he then founded the in+Formal Research Unitat Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in 2006\, giving the possibility to architecture students to critically engage the entanglement of formality and informality. In the year 2011\, he became a visiting lecturer at the Dessau Institution of Architecture (DIA) in Germany\, where he taught Informal Urbanism for graduate students. \nSenan has participated in various global architectural biennales and exhibitions\, including the São Paulo Biennale in Brazil in 2007\, where he published his book Architecture of (in)Dependence\, in which he introduces the possibility of transforming rural Palestinian life into contemporary\, contextualised urban life. \nAlso presenting are three international architects who responded to an open call for papers\, as well as local professionals in the field. The closing day will include a panel discussion\, wood-turning demonstrations\, and an interactive talk on the history of Middle Eastern dance (“belly dance”) with Habiba\, a Philadelphia-based historian\, educator\, choreographer\, and dancer. \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Belly Dance: A Space for Personal Expression - Part of the Symposium The Mashrabiya: Heritage and Future in Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Belly Dance: A Space for Personal Expression – A Part of The Mashrabiya: Heritage and Future in Architecture Symposium | Fri. July 21\, 2023 | 6:00 – 7:00 pm EDT | In-person Event\nClick HERE to RSVP \nPlease join us for the close of The Mashrabiya: Heritage and Future in Architecture symposium with an interactive talk on the history of Middle Eastern dance (“belly dance”) with Habiba\, a Philadelphia-based historian\, educator\, choreographer\, and dancer. \nThe solo interpretive dance that Americans call “belly dance” is actually called raqs al sharqi in the Middle East. It means “Eastern dance.” It is one of the oldest documented dance forms and can be traced back to ancient Egypt. It has a long history as a women’s art form done by professional entertainers at weddings and celebrations of all kinds\, but it also has a long history as a social dance that everyone\, both men and women\, know as soon as they are old enough to stand. Belly dance has attracted adherents around the globe because it is a perfect vehicle for women to express their femininity and their strength. \nIn the Middle East\, dance and music are inseparable from daily life\, a vital part of virtually all celebrations and family gatherings.  In the belly dance performance\, the dancer actually “becomes” the music through movements of the torso\, hips\, and arms. Habiba will trace the long history of the dance and invite the audience to participate in some basic movements. \nABOUT HABIBA\nPortrait of Habiba \nHabiba is internationally recognized as a performer\, choreographer\, teacher and lecturer on dances of the Middle East.  She has performed extensively throughout the United States and abroad in nightclubs and on concert stages. She is a leading researcher of the dances of Egypt and Tunisia and teaches belly dance as well as the traditional folkloric dances that have been performed and passed down for many years. As a result of her fieldwork she has published numerous articles for national dance magazines. \nTo learn more\, visit: www.habibastudio.com \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThis event is free to the public. The Museum for Art in Wood interprets\, nurtures\, and champions creative engagement and expansion of art\, craft\, and design in wood to enhance the public’s understanding and appreciation of it. A suggested donation of $5 per person enables us to provide programs and exhibitions throughout the year. \nDONATE \nQuestions?
