Yemeni Coffee Social
Sep

Yemeni Coffee Social

Join us for an afternoon of tasting specialty Yemeni Coffees from Dragonfly Coffee Roasters while enjoying a musical exploration of Nizar Qabbani's poetry and stories from the homeland with Syrian artist, Aiyah Sibay and Lebanese oud musician, Alaa Abdulbaki. 

Nizar Qabbani was a Syrian poet who wrote daringly about the pain of love, the erotic, and freedom for the Arab woman. Qabbani held a deep reverence for women and saw them as the source of love, salvation, and power. He resisted the conservatism of his people, and insisted on the liberation of body and soul from the social laws of his time. Qabbani rejected the secrecy of love.“Love me and say it out loud,” he wrote. “I refuse that you love me mutely.” He passionately believed that the source of the Arab's people's path to freedom and happiness lay in the way they loved, and is remembered for saying, "Love is a prisoner in the Middle East, and I want to free it."

Featuring two single-origin Yemeni coffees – Haraaz Red A+ Medium Light Natural Process and Nano Lot Medium Light Natural Process from Al-Khanshali Estates. 

Artwork featuring verses from Qabanni's poetry will be on display and available for purchase. The performance will be in Arabic and English; all non-Arab speakers are welcome!

Meditative Arabic Calligraphy Workshop 
Jul
14

Meditative Arabic Calligraphy Workshop 

Experience the ancient art of Arabic Calligraphy and its healing qualities, as taught by instructor Aiyah Sibay.

Each calligraphic session begins with somatic breathwork and meditation. You will then be led through exercises that will teach you the technical foundations of Arabic calligraphy while also allowing you to explore the artistic qualities of the craft. This workshop offers a feminine approach to a predominantly masculine medium, so we will be learning the basics of a traditional art form in a non-traditional manner. We'll end with a reading of poetry from the MENA region and instructions for long-term practice for anyone wishing to continue! Your ticket includes a complimentary tea or coffee from Cafe Cino.

What makes calligraphy a healing art? 

Through this medium, we learn to understand and speak the language of our hands. Calligraphy demands a very particular form of engagement, and much of our emotions are released through our hands. In each workshop, I work closely with each artist, drawing attention to their hands and their manner of moving and holding the calligraphic pen. We also work with natural material (reed) imported from the Middle East and grown by the river, which lends itself to the slow healing process that unfolds in calligraphy. Both I and the students I have worked with have used calligraphy to work through very difficult periods of our lives, and I believe some may find this class particularly helpful if they are passing through a challenging time.
