Murals of the Americas

Through December 30, 2010

Storied Walls: Murals of the Americas explores the spectacular wall paintings from the Hopi village kivas of Awatovi in Arizona; the Maya murals of San Bartolo and Bonampak in Guatemala and Mexico, respectively; and the Moche huacas of northern Peru. The artists and artisans who adorned these walls left stunning visual accounts of some of the most significant and enduring stories of their times—stories that insist upon being read, even now, centuries after their creation.

The original art works remain for the most part in situ. Storied Walls uses the photographs and drawings of archaeologists, models, and fragments of original murals to examine the meanings and social uses of murals within the Pueblo, Maya, and Moche cultures; the history of their discoveries and investigations by affiliates of the Peabody Museum and others; and ongoing efforts to preserve and restore these fragile painted surfaces

A) Nobel Laureate Rigoberta Menchú Tum to Speak at UMass Boston

Chancellor J. Keith Motley announced today that the University of Massachusetts Boston, in partnership with the Organization Maya K’iche, will host an address by the Indian-rights activist, 1992 Nobel Prize laureate, and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Rigoberta Menchú Tum on April 6. Organization Maya K’iche represents thousands of members of the Maya K’iche ethnic group now residing in New Bedford that fled Guatemala in the 1980s and 1990s due to the imminent dangers of civil war and genocide.
Dr. Rigoberta Menchú Tum – who is also a world-renowned author, presidential candidate in 2007 for the Encounter for Guatemala party, and the head of her own international foundation – will address students, faculty, and staff at UMass Boston from 9 to 11:30 a.m. in the Ball Room, located in the third floor of the Campus Center. She will speak on recent events in the areas of indigenous rights, ethno-cultural reconciliation and citizen participation in environmental issues in the Americas.
Dr. Menchú is known worldwide for encouraging collaboration among local, national, and international human rights organizations in order to denounce human rights violations committed against Native American populations. During her presentation, she will also discuss the treatment of hundreds of members of the Maya K’iche community (to which she belongs in Guatemala) after being detained during an immigration raid executed by U.S. government-enforcement agencies on the Michael Bianco factory in New Bedford in March 2007.
To reserve a seat for Dr. Menchú’s address, send your email to  gissell.abreu at umb.edu or call 617-287-7132.

15)

EUROSPECTIVE … a series of conversations with European artists and writers The “Eurospective” series is organized by the Institute for Human Sciences at Boston University as part of its new European Commission funded project “Getting to Know the European Union: European Cultures in Focus.” The project proposal, authored by Elizabeth Amrien, was inspired by the Institute’s popular “Poetry and Politics” series and builds on our previous EU sponsored project,  “Getting to Know the European Union: Member States in Focus.” The new project is being carried out in collaboration with the Center for International Relations at Boston University, Center Director Vivien Schmidt, Center Fellow Chandler Rosenberger,  the literary journal AGNI, the American Literary Translators Association (ALTA), and Zephyr Press. Dr. Chandler Rosenberger, who assisted with the proposal, is editing the series for publication. Please find a detailed description here>>

Monday, May 4, 2009 Please join us for a reading and conversation with Basque writer Bernardo Atxaga and Mexican-American intellectual, essayist, lexicographer and cultural commentator Ilan Stavans. This event celebrates the release of AGNI 69! Bernardo Atxaga (Jose Irazu, Asteasu, Gipuzkoa, 1951) belongs to the young group of Basque writers that began publishing in his mother language, Euskera, in the Seventies. His first short story, “Ziutateaz” was published in 1976 and his first book of poetry, Etiopía, in 1978. Both works received the National Critics Prize for the best works in the Basque language. He cultivates most genres: poetry, short stories, novels, lyrics, etc. His national, and soon after, international recognition arrived with Obabakoak which, among other prizes, was awarded with the Spanish National Literature Prize in 1989 and has been translated into more than twenty-five languages. His last novel, The Accordionist´s Son, has just been published in the USA by Graywolf (2009). Ilan Stavans is the Lewis-Sebring Professor of Latin American and Latino Culture at Amherst College. His books include the best-selling The Hispanic Condition (1995) and On Borrowed Words: A Memoir of Language (2001). He is also the editor of The Oxford Book of Jewish Stories (1998), The Poetry of Pablo Neruda (2003) and the 3-volume set of Isaac Bashevis Singer: Collected Stories (2004). Stavans has been called by The New York Times “the czar of Latino culture in the United States” and the Washington Post has described him as “Latin America’s liveliest and boldest critic and most innovative cultural enthusiast.” The San Francisco Chronicle said: “Ilan Stavans may very well succeed in becoming the Octavio Paz of our age.” Moderator: Mark Feeney Boston Globe Living Arts Reporter and winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for criticism.  Free and open to the public | Reception to follow 7:00 PM Boston University Photonics Center 8 St. Mary’s Street, 9th floor Directions: MBTA Green Line “C” train to St. Mary’s Street stop or “B” train to BU Central stop Pay on entry parking is available at Warren Towers Garage.

16) More Flamenco

Mavi Dance presents “Flamenco Blood on Tour” (Sangre Flamenca en Gira) Boston in the middle of winter may be one of the coldest times of the year, but come January 2009, experience the fiery passion and heat of Flamenco as the show Sangre Flamenca En Gira (”Flamenco Blood On Tour” in spanish) comes to town presented by Clara Ramona and Co…with guest artists Isaac and Nino de Los Reyes. This is no ordinary flamenco show but a significant one, as the title indicates, as this phenomenal mother and sons’ team shares their lifelong family heritage in dance. DATES: Friday, January 23, 8:00 pm Saturday, January 24, 2:00 pm and 8:00 pm LOCATION: Boston University Dance Theatre 915 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA Tickets: $40, $30 students/seniors (call 617.358.2500) Parking: http://www.bu.edu/fitrec/membership/services/parking.html Event info: http://www.bu.edu/fitrec/programs/dance/events.shtml More artist info: http://www.clararamona.com

The show promises not only to entertain but to celebrate both a homecoming and a reunion. This will be first time Clara Ramona and her sons will share the stage together again in the United States since 1996, nearly 12 years ago. Since then, they have traveled and performed around the globe, individually acquiring international recognition. But now that journey has been brought full circle to bring them back to their roots again. A fact probably not well known in Spain’s flamenco scene is that Isaac and Nino are native Bostonians, both born and raised in our own backyard. And their mother, Clara Ramona, herself took her “first steps” in flamenco back at the Boston Conservatory. So the city of Boston can take much pride in such homegrown talents that have gone on to earn global acclaim. Sangre Flamenca En Gira will showcase an array of authentic and traditional Spanish dances and Flamenco, with a brilliant cast of gifted and multi-talented musicians and Clara Ramona’s dancers.

Flamenco dance workshops at MIT The MIT-Spain program is sponsoring a serise of IAP Flamenco Workshops on Friday January 16th, 23rd, and 30th from 7:30pm-8:30pm in MIT rooms 57-168 and 57-170. Please send questions and RSVP to mit-spain@mit.edu.

“Ida y Vuelta” por Casa Patas

Fui al espectáculo de Flamenco. Nunca había visto Flamenco, pero me encantan los bailes hispánicos y de todos tipos. Estoy muy feliz que fui al espectáculo porque era fantástico y aprendí mucho. El espactáculo se llamaba “Ida y Vuelta” con el director y la bailarína Guadalupe Torres, el bailarín José Maldonado, el guitarrista Luis Miguel Manzano, el músico Diego Villegas y los cantantes José Anillo y Francisco Luis Trinidad Ángel.

Me divirtió la música muchísimo porque era tan rítmica y los músicos eran maravillosos. Todos los intérpretes tenían muchísimo talento. Los cantantes cantaban con mucha emoción. Aprendí que la música de Flamenco tiene muchos gritos y canto guturral. A veces, los cantantes parecían como si estuvieran llorando. El bailarín era muy guapo y cuando bailó, tenía que mirar. El guitarrista era muy importante para el programa. El guitarrista proveyó la base de la música con sus ritmos y melodías. La música de la guitarro parecía muy difícil y muchas veces muy rápida. Uno de los músicos tocaba instrumentos diferentes: la flauta, el saxafón soprano y la armónica.

Para mí, es muy impresionante cuando alguien puede tocar instrumentos diferentes, especialmente tan bien como él. La bailarina central era buenísima. Ella bailaba con confianza, ritmo, fuerza y pasión. Me gustaba mucho cómo los ritmos de sus pies y la música creaban capas intricadas. ¡El espectáculo era muy interesante y fenomenal!
