SUMMARY:Painting Workshop: Palestinian Memory & Ritual Through Still Life
DESCRIPTION:The Jerusalem Fund Washington\, DC\n\n\n\nJoin us for a hands-o
 n painting workshop exploring Palestine\, memory\, identity\, and diaspora
  through still life.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking with symbolic objects that carry
  stories of home\, ritual\, and inheritance\, participants will reflect on
  the ways everyday things can hold the memory of family\, place\, and belo
 nging.\n\nLed by artist Sarah Alsamarai\, the workshop will invite partici
 pants to develop a personal symbol—an object or image connected to their
  own history and experience—and transform it into a painted composition.
  In Palestinian and diasporic life\, objects such as olives\, coffee vesse
 ls\, pomegranates\, and olive branches can carry what is not always easily
  said: memory\, loss\, continuity\, care\, and attachment to homeland. Thr
 ough guided prompts\, sketching\, and painting exercises\, participants wi
 ll create a piece that reflects both personal memory and broader cultural 
 narrative.\n\nNo prior painting experience is needed. All materials will b
 e provided.\n\n\n
