Storytelling by Tribal People of the Himalayas__Videoconference on Sat 7 June

Hello!

Acoustic Traditional
( https://www.facebook.com/acoustictraditional.org )

tribal people of India.

One of its leaders, Koitso Salil Mukhia, has kindly
requested me to facilitate videoconference participation

Traditional event this coming Saturday (7 June).

Salil and team would be in Katmandu, Nepal.

I (Eric, director of the World Storytelling Institute)

Acoustic Traditional has been conducting research
regarding storytelling traditions of numerous tribal
people of the Himalayas (in India, Nepal, Bhutan,
and Tibet).

These peoples include Kiranti people (such as Limbu,
Magar, Rai, and Koit people); and Lepcha people.

On Saturday in Katmandu, Salil would be hosting a
gathering of storytellers from a number of these peoples.
Salil would translate and retell the stories in English.

One mission of the event might be:
Through tribal people telling tribal stories,
the tribal cultures could become more known,
understood, and appreciated.

Thus, you are cordially invited to
1) join the videoconference,
2) observe a live webcast of the videoconference, and/or
3) observe an online recording of the webcast of the
videoconference.

The event would occur on Sat 7 June, beginning at --
8pm, Sydney time.

3:30pm, India time.
11am, London time.
6am, USA east coast time.
3am, USA west coast time.

We would be using the Google videoconference
and webcast system.

Additional info regarding all of this is on

Please e-mail me for any reason.

Many thanks,

- Eric

UBC Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver BC

Claiming Space: Voices of Urban Aboriginal Youth
Opening June 1, 2014


O'Brian Gallery, MOA

Claiming Space: Voices of Urban Aboriginal Youth looks at the
diverse ways urban Aboriginal youth are asserting their identity and
affirming their relationship to both urban spaces and ancestral
territories. Unfiltered and unapologetic, over 20 young artists from
across Canada, the US, and around the world define what it really
means to be an urban Aboriginal youth today. In doing so they
challenge centuries of stereotyping and assimilation policies. This
exhibit will leave visitors with the understanding that today's urban
Aboriginal youth are not only acutely aware of the ongoing impacts of
colonization, but are also creatively engaging with decolonizing
movements through new media, film, fashion, photography, painting,
performance, creative writing and traditional art forms.

Artists in the exhibition include:
Alison Bremner (Tlingit), Deanna Bittern (Ojibwe), Jamie
Blankenship-Attig (Nlaka'pamux, Secwepemc, Nez Perce, Muskoday Cree),
Kelli Clifton (Tsimshian), Jeneen Frei Njootli (Vuntut Gwitchin),

[Mi'maq]). Also included are works from the Urban Native Youth
Association, Musqueam youth and the Native Youth Program.

The exhibition is curated by Pam Brown (Heiltsuk Nation), Curator,
Pacific Northwest, and Curatorial Assistant Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers
(Blackfoot, Blood Reserve/Sami, northern Norway).

The exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the
Vancouver Foundation.

Camp Fires: Queer Creativity as a Counterpoint to Repression

Speaker: Graeme Reid

Gardiner Museum
111 Queen's Park,
Toronto, ON

'Camp' provides a perspective on the world at odds with the
self-evident and taken for granted. Whether as a critique of good
taste, or an exposure of the arbitrary nature of gender roles, 'camp'
is the gaze of the outsider. Fire turns clay into ceramic and evokes
its own associations: warmth, protection and transformation. At Human
Rights Watch we are confronted with the dark underside of human
experience, the violence and abuse that is the daily reality of queer
lives around the globe. But we are also witness to resilience and
creativity in the midst of extreme hardship. 'Traditional values' and
a static view of culture is the rallying cry against lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender equality. Yet creative expression is the
lifeblood of any culture and vital to creative renewal. In his keynote
address Graeme Reid, director of the LGBT rights program at Human
Rights Watch, will explore the role of queer creativity as a
counterpoint to political repression and cultural straightjacketing.


Graeme Reid

Graeme Reid, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
Rights Program, is an expert on LGBT rights. He has conducted
research, taught and published extensively on gender, sexuality, LGBT
issues, and HIV/AIDS.

Before joining Human Rights Watch in 2011, Reid was the founding
director of the Gay and Lesbian Archives of South Africa, a researcher
at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research and a lecturer
in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies at Yale University.
An anthropologist by training, Reid received an master's from the
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and a PhD from the
University of Amsterdam.

Initiative for Women in Business | Speaker Series

SESSION SYNOPSIS: Fifty years after the Equal Pay Act, why are women
still living in a man's world?

Debora Spar spent most of her life avoiding feminism. Raised after the
tumult of the '60s, she presumed that the gender war was over; she
swore to young women that yes, they could have it all. "We thought we
could glide into the new era with babies, board seats, and husbands in
tow", she writes. "We were wrong." Spar should know. One of the first
women professors at Harvard Business School, she went on to have four
children and became the chair of her department. Now she's the
president of Barnard College, arguably the most important all-women
school in the United States, an institution firmly committed to
feminism.

Wonder Women is Spar's story and the culture's. Armed with reams of
new research, she examines how women's lives have and have not changed
over the past forty years. The challenges confronting women are more
complex than ever. They stem from breast pumps and Manolo pumps; from
men whose eyes linger on a woman's rear and men who rush that same
rear out the door. They're problems that come inherently and
inevitably from being female. Yet they're falling on generations of
women who grew up believing that none of these things are supposed to
matter now. Wonder W omen gives us an important voice in an
increasingly heated debate. In this wise, often funny, always human,
and smartly conceived book, Spar asks: How far have women really come?
And what will it take to get true equality for good?

BIOGRAPHY: Debora Spar is the president of Barnard College, a women's
liberal arts college affiliated with Columbia University. She received
her doctorate in government from Harvard University and was the
Spangler Family Professor of Business Administration at Harvard
Business School. Spar is the author of numerous books, including
Ruling the Waves: Cycles of Invention, Chaos, and Wealth from the
Compass to the Internet and The Baby Business: How Money, Science, and
Politics Drive the Commerce of Conception.
