The hip-hop cypher, an artistic explosion of storytelling, inspiration and healing, has inspired IMAN’s Arts & Culture programming from our inception. The event is Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019 at Washington High School Performing Arts Center at 45 Whitehouse Dr SW.
Literally a circle, the cypher levels the playing field of all who form it. In communal spaces, circles have facilitated peaceful dialogue and meaningful exchange.
CommUNITY Café happening in Atlanta
Spiritual traditions encourage similar circles of Divine remembrance. Connecting us to one another in ways that transcend time, space and the divisive forces of our modern day, the sacred cypher calls us to higher, more inspired and liberated ways of being.
The “Celebrating the Sacred Cypher” series will feature artists from various genres who invoke that history and spirit in their art. Additionally, our Sacred Cypher Creatives will lead week-long residencies connected to each CommUNITY Café, that will foster deep engagement and provide learning exchanges between artists and community members in the form of workshops, town hall panels, and pop-up performances.

The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) has released its slate of films for Opening Night. The first evening of the festival, Young Professionals Night presented by ACCESS, and Closing Night to be included in the 2019 festival, has been set.
Atlanta Jewish Film Festival announces full 2019 movie lineup
The 19th annual Atlanta Jewish Film Festival kicks off Wednesday February 6 at 7:30 p.m. through February 26 2019. Opening Night takes place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre with the Atlanta premiere of the Israeli dramedy “Shoelaces.”
Atlanta Jewish Film Festival kicks off Feb. 6
Nominated for eight Israeli Academy Awards including Best Film, this tender family story follows the complicated relationship between an irascible father and his special-needs son, while raising serious questions about society’s attitudes towards the disabled and the importance of human connection. Actor Nevo Kimchi gives an outstanding performance as the son Gadi, filling his role with humor, optimism, and charm that is not frequently seen in the depiction of special-needs characters.
The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival will also feature Kimchi in a Q&A discussion after the screening. Atlanta Jewish Film Festival Opening Night general admission tickets are available for $36 and include complimentary parking as well as the screening and post-film Q&A.
“Shoelaces”
On Saturday, February 16, AJFF will feature the North American premiere of “Leona” at Young Professionals Night, presented by ACCESS, the young leadership division of American Jewish Committee at the Woodruff Arts Center.
The night begins with a pre-screening party at 6:30 p.m. and will be followed by the film at 8:00 p.m. Making the transition into adulthood, a young woman from Mexico City finds herself torn between her Syrian-Jewish family and a forbidden love, in this delicate, melancholic romance.
The story dives into the divide between generations and different cultures but becomes a hopeful journey of self-discovery and female empowerment. Audience members can look forward to a post-film Q&A discussion with filmmaker, Isaac Cherem, and lead actress, Naian González Norvind. Tickets are $36 and include the party and screening.
Audiences can expect diverse films from this year’s Atlanta Jewish Film Festival . A first look at what to expect in this year’s lineup was recently announced and is available here. The preview includes the following eight films: “Alt-Right: Age of Rage,” “Family in Transition,” “Fig Tree,” “Holy Lands, It Must Be Schwing!: The Blue Note Story,” “Redemption,” “Who Will Write Our History,” and“Working Woman.” The full lineup and official schedule, along with the release of program guides, will be announced on Thursday, January 10. Tickets go on sale via AJFF.org beginning Monday, January 28. Tickets for the festival are $13 for Matinee/Seniors/Students/
Children and $15 for General Admission. The festival closes out with food options and a screening of “Chewdaism: A Taste of Montreal” on Tuesday, February 26, at 7:00 p.m. at the Byers Theater at City Springs. In this nosh-umentary, Canadian funnymen and best friends return to their hometown to explore their heritage by eating their way across the city. Comedy duo Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman are creators and co-stars of YidLife Crisis, a successful Yiddish language web series exploring, with charm and jocular snark, the burning questions and absurdities of contemporary Jewish life. Now nearing middle age and their own proverbial YidLife Crisis, they’re back in Montreal to delve into a hundred years of the city’s rich Jewish history…and to stuff themselves with its even richer Jewish food.
There will be a post-screening Q&A discussion and a post-screening food tasting that begins at 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $36 and include complimentary parking, the screening, and a post-screening food tasting. For those that are unable to attend to the evening showing, there will be a matinee screening earlier in the day at 2:25 p.m. also with a post-screening Q&A. Tickets for the matinee will be $13.

Unknown numbers of literature lovers are expected to take to the streets to raise awareness about the need for books and education. The Children’s March for Literacy is slated to happen on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019 from 9 a.m. to noon at Turner Field (Gold Lot) 755 Hank Aaron Way, Atlanta, GA 30315.
Participants are encouraged to dress up as your favorite character from your favorite book and join them on this fun family march as they take to the streets to shed light on the epidemic of illiteracy and its proximal side effects on society.
The March to 20Hundred Thousand Books: A Children’s March for Literacy
The goal of the march is to empower children to reclaim their narratives, tell their own stories and get excited about reading.
The Empowered Readers Literacy Project is a nonprofit organization dreamed up by a 5-year-old little girl who set out to tackle illiteracy by helping families build strong reading rituals and by getting kids excited about reading.
The Empowered Readers Literacy Project takes a holistic, emergent approach to literacy that believes that education is more than a set of skills that enable a child or adult to memorize words and sound out phonics.
The group is determined to help kids and families change the focus of reading by engaging them in imaginative Adventures and tapping into their creativity.

Be the first to preview Atlanta’s newest live music venue. Originally built in the 1900’s, the repurposed church has been transformed into a groundbreaking multi-purpose venue. The interior design ensures unobstructed sight lines to the cutting-edge high-end production. Comprised of four separate event spaces arranged over three levels, the venue features two full stages, a mezzanine, and two outdoor terraces with breathtaking views of the Atlanta skyline – the 15,000 sq ft concert hall is a one of a kind destination.
At its core, IRIS focuses on high quality production coupled with a multi-sensory experience that sets the venue apart from other Atlanta spaces. Concert-goers can have an up-close view of the main stage on the large open dance floor, or enjoy a high-energy VIP experience at any of the elevated VIP tables. Wander between 3 levels to gain a perfect view from above on the Mezzanine and eventually discover the downstairs for an entirely unique and more underground experience.
This is “The Church” that started it all back in the nineties – come and re-live history and be a part of the future of IRIS ESP101 [Learn to Believe].

Believe stands tall at the Northwest corner of Ralph David Abernathy and Central Avenue in the heart of Atlanta.
