AAI@home | Assyrian New Year Special (with English Subtitles)

Join us for a special episode of AAI@home featuring an exclusive interview by Maryam Shamalta, founder of Shamiram Media, with Nora Betyousef Lacey, Founder of Assyrian Arts Institute. In this interview, they discuss the newly revived tradition of creating an Akitu Table during the new year season and the significance behind each of the pieces and how they tie to the Assyrian culture. The episode concludes with Assyrian designer Sharokina Landi displaying her beautiful Akitu Table.

The Akitu Table display plays an important role, not only as a symbol of celebration, but also demonstrates Assyrian heritage diachronically. These tables express many aspects of Assyrian beliefs, culture, and traditions, from ancient to modern times. The beauty of the Akitu Table will leave a lasting impression on Assyrian youth and the next generation when families come together every year to celebrate the longevity of our Assyrian nation!

Happy Assyrian New Year from AAI Board, volunteers, and staff to all Assyrians around the globe.

This episode of AAI@home is sponsored by Joseph Baba.
