What can we learn from our experiences of the past 15 months? What lessons can we draw from the history, culture, and politics of the Middle East to inform our much needed solidarity movement?

This series of teach-ins, featuring academics, activists, writers, and artists, attempts to ground our understanding of this moment in vital historical and cultural context, while inviting participants to explore connections between our struggles here in Philadelphia with the struggles of people in the region.

Tracy Chahwan is a Lebanese cartoonist and illustrator. She started her career in Beirut, producing street art and posters for local independent music venues like the Beirut Groove Collective, and working with the Samandal collective publishing experimental comics and anthologies. In 2018, she published her first graphic novel "Beirut Bloody Beirut", a story of two girls lost in the Beiruti night.
After the Lebanese revolution in October 2019, she turned to journalistic comics, collaborating in books such as "Guantanamo Voices" and "Where to Marie? Stories of Feminisms in Lebanon". Tracy’s work is marked by the radical and collaborative energy of the artistic scene in Beirut, where she worked actively for years before she moved to the U.S. in 2019.
