Grand opening of Al Mudhif at Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education (SCEE), Thursday June 24, 2021.
www.lenapehoking-watershed-art.com/event/al-mudhif-grand-...
The evening included land acknowledgement by Trinity Norwood and Reverend John Norwood of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribal Nation, remarks by mudhif designer-builders and artists Yaroub Al-Obaidi and Sarah Kavage, a blessing by Chaplain Christopher Antal of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, storytelling by Native American performer Tchin, a participatory art project, and SWANA music presented by Rana Ransom.
Al Mudhif - A Confluence is a collaboration of Sarah Kavage and Philadelphia-based artist Yaroub Al-Obaidi to build a mudhif at SCEE, possibly the first such structure to be built in North America! A mudhif is a traditional Iraqi ceremonial structure, made of bundled and woven marsh-growing reeds, that serves as a hospitality and celebration space. This mudhif is made from invasive Phragmites reeds that were locally harvested.
