Turath is excited to present to you our annual fall gala. On this evening, Turath’s Arab Gala is transformed, taking on a deeper, more poignant significance. Rather than a night of mere celebration, we gather in a powerful display of unity and support for the Palestinian cause through our cultural heritage—a heritage that teaches us to be resilient, to look after one another and to find hope where hope is not easily found. This night will be an act of communal solidarity with Palestine: a way for us to raise funds and spirits. Even in the darkest of times, our collective unity can illuminate the path to justice and peace.

Join us for an evening rich with the language of the soul, as we navigate through the stirring rhythms of poetry, the resonant chords of music, and the expressive power of performance.

Proceeds will go to humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Turath, the Undergraduate Arab Students' Association at Columbia University, is excited to welcome you to the second annual Arab Student Gala. Hosted at Columbia, and building off the success of last year's gala, we aim to bring together Arab students and students interested in the Arab world from all over the New York City area (and beyond!) to connect over dancing, music, and, of course, food! The end goal is that these connections can lead to later collaboration on activities and events on our respective campuses.

Semi-formal or formal attire is encouraged. Dinner will be served.

Tickets are $10 ahead of time and $15 at the door and can be purchased from the following link: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe/10054025

In recognition of Queer Awareness Month at Columbia University , Turath will be hosting an open discussion about queer identity and sexuality in the Arab community. This event is aimed at creating a more understanding Arab community on campus, one that is able to support the diversity within by exploring power, privilege, and oppression specifically as it relates to gender and sexuality. This event will provide foundational knowledge about the LGBTQ community (including identifying and defining important terms in English and Arabic) and arm students with the knowledge to explore and understand diverse queer and trans identities, experiences, and communities.

Meet Students Organize for Syria team in Hamilton 313 to discuss potential action regarding Syria on Columbia's campus. Then, head down with us to the MoMA to view a screening of Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait, which is part of the exhibit Films from Here: Recent Views from the Arab World. The movie is a montage of the devastation in Syrian city of Homs. You can read more about it here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3675466/
