Strengthening the Fabric of Our Community
January 30 @ 5:00 pm
Event Navigation
A Season for Nonviolence starts this Friday and runs through April 4, 2026. Our theme this year is “Strengthening the Fabric of Community (in order to eliminate ‘Other-ness’)”. The museum will be holding a series of events beginning on Friday, January 30th, at 5 pm. We will be joined by Imam Ayman Soliman as our keynote speaker. He was a Chaplain at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, but his Visa was revoked, and then he was held in a detention facility for 73 days. Imam Soliman will share his story of hope and determination.
We will also be joined by our exhibiting artists, George Harb and Mona Gazala, with their exhibit “Ordinary Lives,” which opens January 30. This exhibit imagines Palestinian existence as an unbroken continuum—a lineage of care, memory, and everyday beauty that stretches from ancient ritual to the present moment. Across the gallery, Mona Gazala’s photographic works and George Harb’s intimate family archive come together to affirm that Palestinian life is shaped not solely by survival, but by an enduring inheritance of joy, dignity, and deep interior worlds.
