Bisan & Ahmad Alive Double Feature: Stories Straight from Gaza
Two raw, fearless documentaries from Seen Palestine/Seen TV—“Bisan” and “Ahmad Alive”—that cut through the media blackout to bring you real stories from Gaza.
Bisan
Hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been killed or forced out. But Bisan Owda stayed put. Armed with her phone and fearless determination, Bisan refuses to let the world ignore what’s happening in Gaza. She’s an Emmy winner who risked everything to show us the brutal reality of occupation and bombardment. This is journalism in its truest form—dangerous, defiant, and absolutely necessary.
Ahmad Alive
Meet Ahmad Ghunaim, a vlogger who never planned on becoming a war correspondent. In a split second, his house was bombed, and he was left a refugee on the streets. Despite it all, Ahmad grabbed his phone, documented the devastation, and let the world in on what most media won’t show.

He’ll share his breakthrough approach for educating anti-Palestinian voices and shifting hearts and minds through fearless storytelling—an approach proven by Seen TV to spark real change.

About this event
This hands-on artmaking gathering invites participants to reclaim and reimagine Black queer histories through DIY publishing, working with form, imagery, and composition while activating works from the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Arts expansive library archive. Led by multidisciplinary artist Damien Davis and Gabriel Boyd, we will engage with the functions and processes of zine-making and information-sharing through time, using the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, and the Culture Wars of the 1990s as key historic points of departure. This hands-on session delves into the ways Black queer artists, activists, and writers have shaped history, often against the odds. Together, we take our cue from the influence of Black artmakers and historical figures, and create one-of-a-kind works from an array of print materials.
Participants will have access to curated research materials, including writings, imagery, and archival documents, to inspire their own zine creations. In addition, attendees are encouraged to bring their own archival materials—family photos, letters, newspaper clippings, or any personal/historical documents they wish to incorporate into their work. This workshop is a space for exploration, storytelling, and creative resistance. Attendees do not need any prior experience to take part, nor do they need to create a final product.
What’s a zine?
A zine is a self-published, DIY publication. The practice of zine-making is rooted in DIY culture and activism, and is a major method for queering publishing, with a focus on distribution over profit. As a result, zines have a rich history within queer, LGBTQIA+ communities and movements, requiring few resources (paper, scissors, glue, and a photocopier) for making radical art, information, and stories widely accessible.
About the Artists
Damien Davis is a Newark-based artist whose work recontextualizes cultural symbols to explore identity and history. His distinctive visual language has been featured in exhibitions at prestigious institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Davis has participated in notable residencies, including the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Project for Empty Space. He has received awards such as the Rema Hort Mann Foundation Community Engagement Grant. A dedicated educator, he currently teaches at Purchase College (SUNY). Davis holds a BFA and an MA in Visual Arts Administration from New York University.
Gabriel Boyd is a Black trans artist based in New York and a current student at SUNY Purchase. Working primarily with found materials and performance, their practice explores Black cultural signifiers, such as Black hair and hair care products to interrogate how Black experiences interact with the virtual. They are excited to assist at the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, helping curate a making experience that weaves together Black queer past, present, and future.

Dr. Elizabeth Rosen Stone, independent scholar and Andrew W. Mellon Senior Fellow in Art History at the Metropolitan Museum, discusses Gandhara art which developed following Alexander the Great’s invasion of the Indian subcontinent. There will be fascinating visual references to the Classical world throughout the Buddhist art of Nagarjunakonda and related sites in Southern India from the first century BCE through the third century CE. The resulting rich tradition fused Greco-Roman art with Indian Buddhist narrative sculpture questioning the idea that the art of southern India is indigenous.

——————————————————————–
New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.
The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant–what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money–but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.
When Marty finds himself hired by Silicon Valley PC startup Fidelity Computing to investigate a group of disgruntled ex-employees who’ve founded a competitor startup, he quickly realizes he’s on the wrong side. Marty ditches the greasy old guys running Fidelity Computing without a second thought, utterly infatuated with the electric atmosphere of Computing Freedom. Located in the heart of the Mission, this group of brilliant young women found themselves exhausted by the predatory business practices of Fidelity Computing and set out to beat them at their own game, making better computers and driving Fidelity Computing out of business. But this optimistic startup, fueled by young love and California-style burritos, has no idea the depth of the evil they’re seeking to unroot or the risks they run.
In this company-eat-company city, Martin and his friends will be lucky to escape with their lives.
