My friend Jani is a citizen of Liberia, one of the countries most affected by the outbreak cannot escape the ‘threats,’ real and imagined. In her brief musing about the effect it has on her psyche, she has coined a term for her condition and the condition of those around her as the ‘Siren effect’. The change in cultural norms should not be frowned on. But my fear is that after Ebola, they may never return. </div>

<b>Siren Effect
- Jani Jallah</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s 10: 29p.m. on a Monday night. I am lying here and have a thousand things running thru my mind - Ebola, love, life, family, work and friends.
There is a constant sound, a sound that flows in my thoughts all through the day and night. It is the most familiar sound currently in Liberia, especially in Monrovia. It’s a sound we once heard on the rare occasion that the Chief Executive passed by or once in a while, when there was someone ill. It is a sound used in emergencies.
Now it’s the bell that rings, the sound of an Ambulance and/or Ebola burial team. It is now the reason we drivers can’t play loud music. We have to listen for the sound before crossing major streets. It’s the Siren Effect.
I have lived in Liberia all my life; some Liberians may term me LTD “Liberian Till Death.” I truly believe the sweetest place in this world is LIBERIA – “The Sweet Land of Liberty.” Most people who have travelled to Liberia will agree with me. The Land is so free you can call yourself a King and live a royal life with a 500USD per month salary. You can become what Liberians call a “Big Boy” just because you are able to manage a little in the right way. You can drive with a full cooler and still have nothing to worry about, and enjoy the finest beaches. </div>

Liberia is my unique land. However, my land has started giving me nightmares.
A full day is over but the sound of the siren is on ‘repeat.’ My country, my land is battling against an unseen enemy; a disease so ruthless, a host can ‘touch’ up to five persons in a casual meeting. What lost from my Land of Liberty? Shaking hands, hugging and drinking together are traditional methods of greeting friends. As a young lady, it’s a cultural shock when a friend refuses to properly greet another - that’s proud and rude. But now with EBOLA it’s the best and wise way to stay alive. This unseen enemy has shocked the cultural norms, a simple thing as borrowing salt from a neighbor is like killing your housemates.
My head! oh my head!! I need it to get out of my head… the lights flash thru my thoughts, closed eyes so hard to achieve.
Driving to work, the sound is all over, at work the sound never stops and when you make it home to that place you call a place of rest, the sound lingers…. EBOLA BE GONE. Let the sirens grow quiet.</div>

The curator Nicola Vassell has a blue-chip art-world pedigree as a former director at both Deitch Projects and Pace. And perhaps because her gallery work positioned her in contexts where glitz and glamour are currencies of their own, media coverage of Vassell has often focused on her taste and style — her former modeling career, her wardrobe, the social goings-on at her SoHo loft. But Vassell has lately gone independent — she left Pace in 2012 to found Concept NV, which she describes as an art ideation lab — and it’s clear she’s got more pressing social concerns on her mind. “Activism is important to me,” she says. “I find that sometimes the art world is too busy with its art-world view to consider that.” Her latest show, “<a href="http://www.blackeyeart.com/" style="color: red; text-decoration: none;">Black Eye</a>,” underscores the continuing need for increased diversity in a still narrow art world. The wide-ranging exhibition, which opens tomorrow night in TriBeCa, features paintings, photographs and collage by 26 emerging and established black artists, including Wangechi Mutu, Jacolby Satterwhite, Steve McQueen and Kerry James Marshall.</div>

Vassell, who worked on the exhibition for two years, notes that the idea of “Black Eye” took hold around the time of the second Obama inauguration. “We all agreed that it was monumental the first time having a black president — and what it all meant to the global community,” she explains. “But the second time around was charged with a different air.” In conceiving a theme to reflect the climate of cultural and economic uncertainty, Vassell drew inspiration from “Black Male,” a seminal and controversial show organized in the 1990s by Thelma Golden, now the director and chief curator at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Like Golden’s “Black Male,” the title of Vassell’s show implies double entendre; it speaks to both the wounds left by racism and the freedoms afforded by seeing from the perspective of black experience. “A black eye is our true tool — it’s the thing a lot of us rely heavily on for this art world to even exist,” she explains. “But at the same time, a black eye is the document of having been bruised.”</div>

Ambiance (Rosina Moder on recorder, Jeremy Ashbourne on
piano along with Peter Ashbourne) presented stirring musical interludes. But it was the poem, "<i>It Was The Singing",</i> that first brought
the audience into the world of Edward Baugh. <i>It was the singing</i> presented by Jean Small took us through music,
sunshine, laughter, envy <span style="background-color: white;">and</span>, more laughter, especially<span style="background-color: white;"> his reminders</span> of the “carry down artists” and “ingratitude”
that face Jamaicans daily. Through his works Baugh shows a willingness to face
death man to man, not shirking away but acknowledging that we as conscious
beings can do so graciously, giving thanks for the days we have had. <o:p></o:p></div>

The life of The narrator of the poem embodied by the <span style="background-color: white;">dramatist</span> Jean Small
portrayed , <span style="background-color: white;">a person that could be an aunt, mother, or cousin but certainly a rural Jamaican woman, whose simple life touched
many. In his characterisation, Baugh took us and placed us in the song service,
we sat in our pews acknowledging the traditional long-meter pastor, and a
daughter that did her mother proud, “ and just like me and Gertie," on Sunday morning “we know we were people together.” Some of us were moved to tears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Dr. Michael Bucknor said it well: Edward Baugh’s poetry
spotlights what many call the <i>throw aways</i>,
the rubble. The book starts with the END POEM, where goats and children know
delight. It gave pause, and reminded us that to enter into the kingdom we must
first become like little children. Those of us who put aside besetting haughtiness
could enter and were welcomed and feted with treats: The ICE -CREAM MAN who had
developed a new market, we met the
editor who exposed Baugh<span style="background-color: white;">, </span>who did not have any ‘Black <span style="background-color: white;">poems’to present,</span> leaving him only
to respectfully decline. <span style="background-color: white;">Baugh's</span> strong sense of a world out of balance, focused
us to the inequities meted out to minorities in the U.S.A. He allowed the
audience to follow him into his searching out Miss Lady is Weeping, thankfully he
did not leave us there, but transitioned into lighter moments, nevertheless troubling.
Those who listened intently like his father did in Listening Dead or to <i>True
Love</i>, and <i>I Wish You a Leaf Falling</i>, experienced the essence of Baugh;
compassion, wit, honour and love. Baugh is without contest one of Caribbean’s
finest poets/scholars.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Nature’s art gallery is always
open. We are all appraisers critiquing the creator’s artwork. We critique the
creator’s use of shades, colors, textures lines and shape.</span></div>

based on collective assessment. Leonardo da Vinci’s painting ‘The Mona Lisa’, considered
as one of the best known and most highly valued works of art in the world is
constantly replicated by individuals and is for many a standard of beauty. The
white tiger in parallel is considered rare and exotic and protected to prevent
extinction. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

dark - lines not carefully drawn - texture not sufficiently smooth. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By what measure should the Black
man be valued? Did the creator sculpt too many? Can the Black Man be Mona Lisa?

his voice and talents to the conversation of how the Black Man has been valued
in colonial past. He complexly links brown paper bags into a stunning and
dramatic backdrop and intricately intertwines his body in various positions throughout
this compelling art work. Perhaps Wilmer Wilson motive is to make us question
how the ‘Black Man Art’ is valued today. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Did we stop to think that the brown
paper bag is typically crumbled, stepped on and discarded when deemed to be of
no more use. The question must then be asked, if the brown paper bag is a
standard, then can any ‘Black Man Art’ be considered of value?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder how long it will take for the ‘Black
Man Art’ to be truly valuable. Maybe Wilmer Wilson is on to something. Maybe
like his dramatic piece of united brown paper bags, maybe ALL black men will
have to unite and create new art out of a material whose intrinsic value is
unquestioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">On the occasion of the Tercentenary of the École Française de Danse, the Opéra National de Paris and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France are retracing the history of the Ballet de l’Opéra, from Louis XIV to the present day. Concerned with bringing a noble style to the performing arts and laying the foundations for the dancers to turn professional, the king created the Académie Royale de Danse in 1661. In 1669, the king also granted the poet Pierre Perrin the privilege of founding an Académie d’Opéra, which was acquired by Lully in 1672. Thus the Opéra de Paris and its Ballet were created. At the end of his reign in 1713, Louis XIV decided to found a dance school within the Opéra: it was responsible for ensuring the quality of the performers. Initially reserved for adults, the school then opened to children in 1784 and remained faithful thereafter to its vocation of making the repertoire accessible and being open to creativity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The history being recounted here is both that of the Ballet de l’Opéra de Paris and its school. From Pierre Beauchamp to Brigitte Lefèvre, the first directors of the École de Danse, Maximilien Gardel and Jean Dauberval to Élisabeth Platel, the exhibition explores the major institutional and aesthetic rifts. It also covers the appeal the Opéra’s dancers held for painters such as Edgar Degas, the social aspect of ballet performances, important figures and the evolution of the company’s repertoire: the introduction of ballet d’action and the role of Noverre in the 18th century, the birth and advent of Romantic ballet, the invention of Neoclassicism with Lifar, the part played by Balanchine, Robbins, Petit, Béjart, Cunningham, Carolyn Carlson, Forsythe and Nureyev, and the policy of encouraging creativity and openness towards important international choreographers, from Pina Bausch to Angelin Preljocaj.</span>Cultural Voicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10578919258968491078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603285074418027586.post-67264492489798767422013-06-03T15:51:00.003-05:002013-06-03T15:51:16.052-05:00Submit Original and Creative Videos for PLURAL! <div style="text-align: center;">

The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and the International Organization for Migration again invite the world’s youth to submit original and creative videos focusing on PLURAL+ themes: migration, diversity and social inclusion.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Recognizing youth as powerful agents of social change in a world often characterized by intolerance, and cultural and religious divisions, PLURAL+ invites youth to address key challenges related to migrant integration, inclusiveness, identity, diversity, human rights and social cohesiveness, both at local and global levels. Young people up to 25 years old are invited to submit short videos of five minutes maximum in length.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Michele Klein-Solomon, IOM Permanent Observer to the United Nations, said, “PLURAL+ videos touch very sensitive issues in a very real way. They look at the realities that people are facing. We like to see young people expressing their profound ideas in a manner that allows the opening of a dialogue.”</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Jordi Torrent, UNAOC Project Manager, Media and Information Literacy, added: “PLURAL+ videos fit very well in this very relevant conversation: how to build more inclusive societies where we can all live together in harmony.”</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
PLURAL+ supports young people’s expression of their opinions by providing them with a variety of media platforms and distribution networks, including broadcasts, video festivals, conferences and events around the world. PLURAL+ also reinforces the firm belief of IOM and UNAOC that youth are powerful and creative agents of social change.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A prestigious international jury will select three winners in each age categories (9-12, 13-17, and 18-25). All the winners will be invited to New York, all travel expenses paid, to present their work at the PLURAL + 2013 Awards Ceremony at the Paley Center for Media on the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1989747613" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">5th of December 2013</span></span>.</div>
<div>

<div>
Mariana Araujo, a member of the PLURAL+ 2012 international jury commented<strong>, </strong>“For me PLURAL+ is the best link between intercultural dialogue and intergenerational justice. I can't imagine a better way to understand the other but through their own eyes and listen with their ears. With these videos I can internalize their emotions and realities through their stories.”</div>
