At a dance studio in Minneapolis recently, Leila Awadallah reflected on what Mizna means to her. “When I found Mizna, that's when I unlocked this portal into this beautiful world of Arab Americans and of stories from countries that I longed to know deeper,” Awadallah said. The choreographer and dancer is half white, half Palestinian and grew up in South Dakota. She's one of the many artists who say they've found a place of belonging and cultural connection through Mizna.Kathy Haddad and Saleh Abudayyeh founded Mizna in the late ‘90s as a platform for contemporary literature, film, art and cultural production — highlighting the work of Arab, Southwest Asian and North African, or SWANA artists.Its cornerstone event is the annual Arab Film Festival. As the organization marks its 25th anniversary in the Twin Cities, Haddad looks back on what motivated her to start it all. “I wanted to see stories about our experience, about my experience. I read, and was inspired by Asian American writers, African American writers and lots of writers. And I didn't see any Arab American writers,” Haddad said.Mizna Executive and Artistic director Lana Barkawi is Palestinian and joined the organization in 2011. She says the organization has played a critical role in connecting creatives to their cultural identity.“The things that motivated the establishment of the organization still hold true today that we exist in a cultural context that marginalizes us and really, you know, boxes us into stereotyped ideas of who we are,” Barkawi said. Since its founding, Mizna, the Arabic word for ‘a desert cloud that holds the promise of rain,' has featured more than a thousand Arab and SWANA writers in its literary journal both locally and internationally. One of those writers is Marlin M. Jenkins — a half Lebanese, half Black writer and high school English teacher who's been published by Mizna.“I think Mizna has really helped me find that I think there's a lot of what I have learned about myself and about the world of what it means to be from Southwest Asia that wasn't able to come from my immediate family. A lot of that comes through the arts, especially through writing and poetry,” Jenkins said. Awadallah says she was visiting family in the Palestinian town of Beit Jala in the occupied West Bank in October but had to leave and come back to the U.S. She says she feels her body is still in her ancestral land. A recent performance for Mizna helped connect her to the part of herself that's still in Palestine. “My body started coming back and my voice started coming back and I was held by the Mizna community and so many others, the room was so full of people who are just ready, you know, to sob and to let the feelings be real together,” Awadallah said.Barkawi says times have been exceptionally tough for the organization and its artists. “Well, you know, we're marking our anniversary, and it feels difficult to be in a very celebratory mood because we're witnessing a shattering and grotesque cruelty in Gaza,” she said.Her hope is that she no longer feels the need to emphasize a heightened importance of the organization's work. “We're more than our traumas, we're more than the portrayals of us,” Barkawi said.She says the goal is to reclaim narratives and tell stories without always responding to tragedy, and to create an unburdened place for artists to create work on their own terms. 

Episode 316 features guests Lina Barkawi, a Tatreez practitioner, preservationist, and educator based in Brooklyn, alongside Eman Toom, a Palestinian Tatreez artist, teacher, sewer and crafter. “Part of just doing tatreez, in my personal opinion, is a form of resistance because we're basically just existing and we're showing our Palestinian identity, but there have also been very explicit uses of tatreez as a form of resistance. And so you have thobes that came out of the intifadas in the ‘90s where the flag was banned and so these are very explicit uses of tatreez where they would stitch literally the Palestinian flag. Or different motifs, like new motifs that came out of representing national identity and things like that. So, I just wanted to mention that because there have been very explicit forms of resistance, but I think the more subtle ways is kind of where Eman and I are playing a very big role in — is thinking about how do we help just bring more Palestinians into this art form and help them reclaim this art form and use it, because just by doing that, no matter what your color preferences are, whatever your background is, that is just in and of itself a form of resistance against an occupier.” -Lina “The technique and the skill that you're using to create these motifs — it is at its simplest form, a form of cross stitch. There's other forms of tatreez, but for the most part, it is that. But what I try to always remind people is that tatreez is so much more than that, in the sense that it is a record of our history. You know, the more that we study Palestinian embroidery, the more that we're studying tatreez, the more that we're studying the history of Palestine at the same time. You can't have one without the other, they go hand in hand.” -Eman When we think about sustainability, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps curbing our addiction to consumption, mass manufacturing, and circular materials. But what about cultural sustainability, craft, connection to ancestral land, and challenging colonization through continuing to uplift centuries old traditions?  In this week's episode we learn from our guests about how Tatreez inherently IS sustainability. The motifs and symbols embroidered on cloth are a language of symbols documenting spaces in time, they tell stories of nature, the flora and fauna around the Women making them. We learn that the hand made process is the antithesis to homogeneous fashion - it is slow, considered and truly one of a kind.   In 2021 the art of embroidery in Palestine was recognized by UNESCO as an important intangible cultural heritage - an artform that connects the Palestinian people to their roots. Preserving culture is inherently and naturally, as our guests share - sustainability. It needs no labels, or commodifying - it is made up of the everyday rituals, traditions, craft and practices that celebrate identity.   Quotes & links from the conversation: “The Land In Our Bones” by Layla K.

Migräne und Hochsensibilität – zwei Dinge, die oft sogar gemeinsam auftreten. Aber warum ist das so? Mit Carena Barkawi, Autorin des Buches „Die Grissini-Falle“ beleuchte ich in der heutigen Podcastfolge einmal besonders den körperlichen Aspekt von Kopfschmerzen. Und sie erklärt, welcher Zusammenhang zur Hochsensibilität besteht. Carena erzählt aus den Erfahrungen ihrer langjährigen Schmerzgeschichte, wie sie jahrelang alles versucht hat, endlich migränefrei zu werden. Erst als Carena damals ihre Ernährung detailliert in Excel-Tabellen erfasste, hat sich ein Puzzleteil ihres Heilungsweges aufgezeigt. Es sind Blutzuckerschwankungen, die bei ihr einen erheblichen Einfluß auf den Verlauf von Migräneattacken hatten. Im Gespräch teilt Carena daher ihre Tipps, wie eine entsprechende Ernährungsumstellung ihr geholfen hat und was genau sie anderen Betroffenen empfiehlt. Und vielleicht ist das genau das Richtige für dich, wenn du selbst unter Migräne leidest. Besonders spannend finde ich die Brücke zur Hochsensibilität, den Zusammenhang mit Adrenalin und welche Erfahrungen Carena in ihrem Leben dazu machen konnte. Teile diese Podcastfolge gern mit Menschen, die auch davon profitieren könnten. Ich bin gespannt von dir in den Kommentaren unter dem Blogpost auf meiner Website zu lesen.

Tarak Barkawi, a Reader in International Relations at the London School of Economics, has written an important book that will cause many of us to rethink the way we understand the relationships between armies and societies. In Soldiers of Empire: Indian and British Armies in World War II (Cambridge University Press, 2017), Barkawi argues that many scholars of Western armies tend to overstate the degree to which motivation and fighting spirit as well as the urge to commit atrocity derive from the characteristics, strengths or weaknesses of the societies the solders come from. Studying the British Indian Army in Burma during World War II, Barkawi sees instead the way that ritual, drill, and constructed traditions that are more internal to the army itself do more to explain how that army fought so relatively effectively. The Indian peasants who filled the ranks of the British Army shared little socially, politically or otherwise with the United States Marines who fought the Japanese on Guadalcanal. And yet they fought equally hard and with equal brutality against their foe—on behalf of their colonial overlords. Barkawi attends not only to larger political context of British India and to the recruitment and training of the British Army in India, he also describes in considerable detail specific engagements in Burma that make clear how group solidarity and the will to combat are constructed even in an army for whom the normal Western markers of belonging (patriotism, religion, ethnic heritage, even a common language) are absent.

Der Beitrag [EHSP 022] – Migräne und Hochsensibilität, ein Interview mit Carena Barkawi erschien zuerst auf einfach hochsensibel - der Podcast mit den Tipps, Tricks und Strategien für den Umgang mit deiner Hochsensibilität.

Action Movie Anatomy hosts Ben Bateman and Andrew Ghai break down London Has Fallen! Arms dealer Aamir Barkawi (Alon Aboutboul) is discovered to be the mastermind behind several terrorist attacks in Europe and around the world. Western intelligence services locate his compound and the United States launches a drone strike against it, supposedly killing Barkawi along with his family. Two years later, President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) and his top Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) are jogging together. Mike is expecting his first child with his wife Leah (Radha Mitchell) and hopes to take some time off to spend time with his family, contemplating resigning from the Secret Service. In Yemen, Barkawi is still alive, and he meets with his son Kamran (Waleed Zuaiter). They begin to set plans in motion for revenge. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The story begins in Pakistan, with an American drone strike on the abode of terrorist-supplying arms dealer Aamir Barkawi, where a wedding appears to be taking place. Two years later, the unfortunate death of the British prime minister has many world leaders converging on London to attend his funeral. That's when the enemies of the Western world, led by Barkawi (who somehow managed not to die in the drone strike), decide to strike back, with an elaborate plot to assassinate all of the heads of state and to blow up all of London's most prominent landmarks, with many of the terrorists out and about in the guise of the local police and palace guards, making it difficult for the military to separate friend from foe. However, President of the United States Benjamin Asher is still alive, thanks to the continues heroic efforts of his Secret Service super-agent, Mike Banning, who must work twice as hard as ever before to make sure the terrorists don't succeed in their plan on kidnapping Asher and executing him live on world television.
