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?

DESCRIPTION:Tree of Life: A Curatorial Talk with Cydney Pickens\, Curatorial Fellow at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft | Wed\, Oct 18\,2023 | 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm EDT | ZOOM\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a discussion with Curatorial Fellow Cydney Pickens on the exhibition Tree of Life\, on view now at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC). Tree of Life showcases sculptural objects made from the African blackwood tree\, also known as mpingo or Dalbergia melanoxylon. Native to Tanzania and the territory surrounding Mt. Kilimanjaro\, this tree has a naturally dark\, nearly black\, colored core and other unique properties that make it a preferred choice of material for ornamental turning\, carving\, and use in woodwind instruments. This exhibition features figural sculptures carved in the Makonde tradition by Tanzania-based artists\, Joseph Singombe and Pius Mtembe; ornamental turning by the late Texas-based artist James Harris; and woodwind instruments that explore the different methods artists are using when approaching this material. \nImage above: James Harris\, Clock Tower\, No. 4\, African blackwood\, mother-of-pearl\, brass inlay.

While attending the University of Houston\, she successfully completed a dissertation investigating the relationship between traditional and modern performance art in Africa and Europe as vehicles for metaphysical understanding. This research continues to inform her craft-centered and community-engaged curatorial practice celebrating the interconnectivity of society through creative expression in raw and synthetic materials such as wood\, glass\, fiber\, and metal. Through her personal art collection\, relationships with artists\, collectors\, and institutions\, she displays her devotion to sharing the influence of heritage and cultural identity on contemporary art. \n  \n \nFounded in 2001\, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) is a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to advancing education about the process\, product and history of craft.  The Center’s major emphasis is on objects of art made primarily from craft materials: clay\, fiber\, glass\, metal\, wood or found/recycled materials. \nHCCC serves as a treasured resource in the Houston arts community and the region by showcasing exhibitions that span a diversity of artists and concepts\, introducing visitors of all ages to contemporary craft through a variety of educational programming and events\, and supporting the development of working artists through its artist residency program. \nHCCC showcases the best in contemporary craft in a welcoming environment that invites you to stay for a while or drop in often.

SUMMARY:Music is Medicine: Healing our Environment Through Music with Raji Malik
DESCRIPTION:Music is Medicine: Healing our Environment Through Music with Raji Malik | Thurs. Feb. 8\, 2024 | 6:30 – 8:00 pm ET | In-person\nClick HERE to RSVP \nJoin us for a unique musical evening with musician Raji Malik for the Museum’s current exhibition\, FLOE: A Climate of Risk | The Fictional Archaeology of Stephen Talasnik. FLOE tells the story of a fictitious shipwreck carried to Philadelphia by the glacier that buried it. As global temperatures warmed brought on by climate change\, the glacier melted and surrendered the ship’s remains. \nClimate change is a problem that exposes the vulnerability of the world’s most defenseless populations\, including the impoverished\, house-less\, and stateless\, while shifts in global temperatures threaten the macro-financial stability of the region. \nTo address a specter as powerful as climate change\, we need to look within and find the places where we can sense our interconnection. Malik’s acoustic\, Indian-influenced\, instrumental music medicine will create a portal through which we may more clearly channel love and healing within ourselves and our environment. \n\n\n\n\nAbout Raji Malik\n\nRaji Malik has performed and recorded hard rock and instrumental Indian-influenced music in the Philadelphia area for the past 30 years.  He is self-taught and started playing guitar when he was 19.  Malik’s initial musical influences were the great rock guitarists Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)\, Jimi Hendrix\, and David Gilmour (Pink Floyd).  Then he discovered Shakti\, featuring 3 masterful Indian musicians and guitar legend John Mclaughlin playing a modified sitar-like acoustic guitar. Malik promptly put away his electric guitar and immersed himself in the pure tones of the acoustic guitar.  Malik finds deep inspiration from many brilliant “Modern Fingerstyle” guitarists who are all disciples of the late Michael Hedges\, who reinvented the acoustic guitar with his harmonic percussive playing.  Malik hopes that his music brings peace\, healing\, and inspiration. \nMay this musical meditation bring you a deeper appreciation of your goodness.  May we all continue to challenge ourselves to grow with honest self-reflection so that we may more clearly channel love.  That is why we are here.—Raji Malik \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?

SUMMARY:First Friday Opening for Gina Siepel: To Understand a Tree
DESCRIPTION:First Friday Opening for Gina Siepel: To Understand a Tree | Fri\, March 1\, 2024 | 5:00 – 8:00 pm | In-person Event\nWalk-in’s Welcome \nJoin us at the Museum for Art in Wood for First Friday and the opening of Gina Siepel: To Understand a Tree. To Understand a Tree is inspired by a desire to contemplate a living forest tree and its immediate habitat from the perspective of a queer-identified woodworker\, in a way that challenges and provokes an often-assumed binary between living tree and dead wood. It links legacies of 19th-century transcendentalism with contemporary biological understandings of forest interconnection\, ecofeminism\, queer ecology\, eco-philosophy\, and Indigenous teachings about human-nature relationships. These studies\, along with many hours spent in the forest\, encourage a shift in the consideration of the tree as a subject rather than simply an object\, which fundamentally impacts ideas of woodworking practice and our ecological responsibility. Involving collaboration\, public engagement\, site-based study and contemplation\, video documentation\, and woodworking\, To Understand a Tree functions as a small-scale way of exploring big questions about the place of humans in the environment\, the scale and speed at which we consume natural resources\, and which organisms are included or excluded in a definition of “community.” Forests are complex and interconnected systems\, and in that spirit\, To Understand a Tree connects material practice and object-making to questions of forest ecology\, climate change\, and more than human personhood. To Understand a Tree is an ongoing project of Gina Siepel as an artist in residence at the Smith College MacLeish Field Station. \nRemarks will take place at 6:30 pm. \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. \n\n\nDONATE \nQuestions?
