Please join ArteEast, Asian American Writers' Workshop, Association of Afghan American Writers and Association of Iranian American Writers to celebrate Now Ruz, our common New Year, with an evening of fiction and memoir by ground-breaking writers from the Afghan and Iranian American diasporas. Acknowledging the deeply entwined histories of our peoples and the overlapping richness of our literary traditions, this reading is inspired by our desire to forge new artistic collaborations in the United States, where the breadth and insight of our many stories are most urgently needed.
Join contributors to the forthcoming Anthology of Contemporary Afghan American Literature — Naheed Elyasi, Sedika Mojadidi and Sahar Muradi — along with best-selling novelist Dalia Sofer, debut novelist Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet and poetic prose writer Aphrodite Desiree Navab for readings and conversation to welcome the new year.
Emergence of a New World: Collecting Contemporary Art from the Middle East March 4, 2010
The Armory Show, Open Forum Lounge, Pier 92
ART MIDDLE EAST, in collaboration with ArteEast, presents: "Emergence of a New World: Collecting Contemporary Art from the Middle East" as part of The Armory Show's OPEN FORUM, an eclectic series of conversations and panels featuring top figures in the art world.
Contemporary art from the Middle East is a vibrant and ever-expanding field in which issues of context, access, and translation are continually re-negotiated. Art Middle East presents a discussion with several artists, curators, and dealers that engage with these issues in representing the field to an international audience. With artists Diana Al-Hadid and Kamrooz Aram, Thaddeus Ropac (Galerie Thaddeus Ropac, Paris) and Andreé Sfeir-Semler (Galerie Sfeir-Semler, Beirut and Hamburg). Moderated by New York Times Art Critic Benjamin Genocchio.

This program is on the possible representation of Palestinian camps. It features an 8 mm film made by Nabil Kanafani in 1971 most probably in Nahr El Bared camp in North Lebanon, and excerpts from a wedding video filmed in the camp of Burj al-Shemali in 1982, as well as Nervus Rerum, a video made in 2008 by Otolith group in the camp of Jenin, Palestine. The 8 mm film is made by an amateur hand and portrays the daily life of Palestinian refugees at a moment when they still harbored hope for a return in their homeland. The video of the wedding is shot by a friend of the late groom and capture a moment of joy and celebration, while Nervus Rerum is a constructed piece relying on texts by Jean Genet and Fernando Pessoa. It is an essay film shot in present time Jenin camp, made at a time of defeat and hopelessness.
