Sixty-year-old fisherman Issa is secretly in love with Siham\, a woman who works at the market with her daughter Leila. When he discovers an ancient phallic statue of Apollo in his fishing nets\, Issa hides it\, not knowing what to do with this mysterious and potent treasure. Yet deep inside\, he feels that this discovery will change his life forever. Strangely\, his confidence starts to grow and eventually he decides to approach Siham. \n\n\nAbout Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture \nRooted in Arab arts and language\, Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture offers artistic and educational programming that enriches understanding and celebrates diversity\, while supporting the pursuit and affirmation of Arab American cultural identity and playing a constructive civic role within broader American society.” \nhttps://www.albustanseeds.org/ \n\n\n\nAbout Studio34 \nAccessibility note: there is a steep flight of stairs leading up to our space. \nSTORY \nSince 2008\, Studio 34 has cultivated a community; it has offered affordable yoga classes\, workshops\, and art shows for those who seek healing\, as well as space for wellness practitioners to provide various forms of therapy\, from acupuncture to massage to psychotherapy & more. \nIn early 2018\, community members Adrienne Dolberry and Kari Thompson took over as owners and remain committed to Studio 34 being a space of healing\, creativity\, and inclusivity for the West Philadelphia community and beyond. \nMISSION \nStudio 34 is more than a physical space. \nWe are an energy created by all those that enter and practice here. \nThis energetic space respects and honors all bodies – encouraging EveryBody/everyone to breathe and move in our healing-centered studio. \nUsing self-care and expression through yoga\, movement\, art and other healing modalities – we allow ourselves to reconnect\, realign and reclaim our lives as individuals. \nWe believe that individual self-care directly sustains and supports our community. \nWe are united together in dialogue\, creativity\, fun\, empowerment and holistic well-being. \nhttps://studio34yoga.com/

SUMMARY:The Power of the Haudenosaunee "Words Before All Else"
DESCRIPTION:Learn the history\, present\, and future of the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address\, and how it informs Indigenous worldviews & movements\n\n\nComposed in about 1050 CE\, the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address\, or “Words Before All Else”\, united five warring American Indian tribes\, and served as the inspiration for both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. For Americans\, it as a new orientation to being human\, as it describes the Haudenosaunee relationship to the natural world\, whose principles are generally accepted and shared by all North American Native people. Reflected in the mural\, this ancient document is still aspirational and deeply moving for us today in 2024. Workshop participants will learn about the history of the address and discuss its context to their personal lives and movements. Each presenter will then demonstrate the social dancing that is customary for their nation in celebration like this one. \n \nThe Climate Justice Initiative is a collaboration between front-line organizers\, activists\, and artists\, convened by Mural Arts Philadelphia. We use the power of public art to tell stories about the causes\, effects\, and solutions to the climate crisis in Lenapehoking (the greater Philadelphia region).
