About the Salon Series

We invite you to MEI Salon, a series of special events conducted in a casual relaxed setting aimed at making Middle Eastern culture more accessible to everyone. We strip away the academic jargon, and keep things light-hearted and interactive with topics that range from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Abstract

In the third instalment of our Salon series, we invite you to dive into the fascinating world of Arabic culture with Ms Zeinab Hendawi.

A long-time teacher of Arabic as a foreign language, Ms Hendawi will teach us some key Arabic phrases and hand gestures that are used widely in Middle Eastern countries, and the meaning behind them. She will also shed light on some interesting cultural practices unique to the Arabs.

This public talk will be conducted online via Zoom on 2 September (Wednesday), from 5pm to 7pm (SGT). All are welcome to participate. An e-invite will be sent to you closer to the event date.

This event is free, however, registration is compulsory.
