 ways free and open to everyone. Bring your curiosity and imagination\, we’l
 l provide the rest.\nSAM Performs: George Sadak and House of Tarab\nGeorge 
 is a percussionist whose roots trace back to the deep rhythms of Egypt. Gro
 wing up on drum kits\, he moved fluidly through jazz\, Gulf\, and Balkan st
 yles\, always returning to his first love: Egyptian tabla. George has built
  a career bridging traditional and contemporary sounds. In 2011\, he founde
 d Anubis Nights\, a weekly music and dance showcase blending Egyptian class
 ics with world music\, jazz\, and belly dance. Anubis Nights continues ever
 y Friday and Saturday at Harissa\, celebrating rhythm\, movement\, and the 
 shared joy of live performance.\nSAM Creates: Zine Making with Katrina Van 
 Strien\nStep into the vibrant world of zine creation at our drop-in worksho
 p\, where you'll discover how this accessible art form can capture culture 
 and personal narratives. Make your own zine and/or contribute to a collabor
 ative one. Pop by for a quick burst of creativity\, or settle in and make a
  zine inspired by the magical world of Alfredo Arreguín in his colorful and
  highly-patterned piece\, Four Self-Portraits.\nThis workshop empowers part
 icipants of all ages and skill levels to create and personalize zines at th
 eir own pace. This hands-on activity offers a tangible connection to the mu
 seum's American Art: The Stories We Carry exhibition by mirroring how zines
  have historically captured personal expression and cultural moments.
