As a preamble to a larger card game about Muslim-Jewish conviviality and post-nation-state futures, Rüzgâr Buşki and Anna Lublina present three watercolor paintings. Using the form of a traditional ketubah (illustrated Jewish marriage contract), patterns inspired by the tiles of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and a scripted dialogue; the works seek the textures of coexistence within ancestral worlds and examine how these forms have been dissected or altered to fit Western cultural grammars-- or disappeared completely in the name of ethno-nationalism.

FUCK ETHNONATIONALISM GAME NIGHT
November 21, 5pm
Inspired by the card games played between Muslims and Jews on “Tahiti Beach” in Casablanca, Rüzgâr Buşki and Anna Lublina invite you to an evening of games, music, and conversation around the history of Muslim-Jewish ecumenical frames, the effect of ethno-nationalism on our shared cultural forms, and what a post-nation future could look like. In collaboration with fellow Yasmine Amal, poet and chef Jasmin Al-Qaisi, and musical artist Hoyah, the evening will include a short play-reading, tea, food from recipes that cross Muslim-Jewish borders, a DJ set of archival Judeo-Arabic music, and, of course, games. Join us!
