Understanding Campaign in Baltimore Magazine

Article here.

Thank you, Tamara Holmes! You've been so supportive of the Campaign.

interview on Maryland Morning

I am on Maryland Morning today talking about the Understanding Campaign. We were a little bummed that we couldn't connect to Cairo to talk to Haneen. The lines are terrible there.

Alumnus Hopes to Bridge Cultural Gap With Art

When Justin Sirois graduated from MICA in 2001, the printmaking major pursued graphic design, but found himself slowly becoming fascinated with a different form of art--fiction.

That fascination led him to start a series of creative projects, including one that examined life for Middle Eastern refugees of the Iraq War. "I was specifically interested in the two sieges of the Iraqi city of Fallujah in 2004," Sirois said. "I wanted to know more about the personal cost and the civilian side of those two battles."

Justin and Haneen on the Marc Steiner Show

From the website:

We're joined by Haneen Alshujairy, who fled her home in Iraq with her family in 2003, and Justin Sirois, a writer living here in Baltimore. They are the co-founders of the Understanding Campaign, which seeks to teach everyone in the world one word of Arabic. Fhm (fuh-hem’), literally means understanding. Their hope is that by learning one simple word, people can begin to bridge the gulf between Arab and Western cultures.

Read Michael Corbin's piece about the Understanding Campaign, One Word at at Time, in this month's Urbanite Magazine.

Haneen Alshujairy interviewed on Outside Writers - Understanding Campaign

HERE.

Urbanite Mag calls the Understanding Campaign “… [a] big-hearted and ingenuous Web-based campaign.”

“This human connection was the alchemy by which Sirois and Alshujairy began to make meaning of their separate lives brought together by the conflict in Iraq. Such a relationship begins with small steps, sometimes one word at a time.”

WYPR (NPR) interview with Justin and Haneen speaking for the first time ever on the phone

No kidding. After almost three years of knowing each other, after collaborating on two books and the Understanding Campaign, Justin and Haneen talk on the phone for the first time. Crazy right? Who does stuff like that? We do! I hope those amazing NPR guys didn’t edit out us laughing at each other for 30 seconds. Adorable.

Tune in to WYPR (Baltimore, Fredrick, and Ocean City, Maryland) or go to http://www.wypr.org/ at noon tomorrow – Friday the 24th – to hear the interview. A repeat broadcast will air at 7pm.

AS A BONUS, anyone who pledges more than 50 dollars between 12pm and 7pm tomorrow will get a Newlights Press print. It’s hand letter-pressed and beautiful. It’s perfect for your office next to your presidential medal of valor.

Spread the word!
