  • Belarus Free Theatre Opens up Its Digital Archive to Share 24 Theatrical Productions from the Past 15 Years
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday 2 April 2020 BELARUS FREE THEATRE OPENS UP ITS DIGITAL ARCHIVE TO SHARE 24 THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS FROM THE PAST 15 YEARS WILL ATTENBOROUGH, STEPHEN FRY, ANDREI KHLYVNIUK, DAVID LAN, JULIET STEVENSON & SAM WEST JOIN NEW FAIRY-TALE-INSPIRED CAMPAIGN #LOVEOVERVIRUS 2020 marks the 15th anniversary of Belarus Free Theatre (BFT), the foremost refugee-led theatre company in the UK and the only theatre in Europe banned by its government on political grounds. Ahead of the announcement of the full programme of BFT’s 15th anniversary celebrations, and in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the company will open up its digital archive to make 24 acclaimed stage productions free to watch online, alongside the launch of a new fairy-tale-inspired campaign: #LoveOverVirus 15 YEARS OF THEATRICAL HIGHLIGHTS FREE TO WATCH ONLINE Belarus Free Theatre began 15 years ago this week – on 30 March 2005 – in Minsk under Europe's last surviving dictatorship. Since 2011, the company has been based between Minsk and London where its co-founding Artistic Directors, Natalia Kaliada and Nicolai Khalezin, are political refugees in the UK. New productions are created and rehearsed over Skype before premiering in continually changing underground locations in and around Minsk. Over the past decade, BFT has - through necessity - pioneered creating award-winning theatre at distance and will now share a raft of its theatrical highlights with audiences online at a time when more than a third of the world’s population is adapting to daily life under lockdown. Beginning this Saturday (4 April), and continuing each weekend for the next three months, 24 productions will be made available to watch online on BFT’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/BelarusFreeTheatre Each production listed below will air on the date indicated at 8pm GMT and will be available to watch for the following 24 hours.

  • Is Time Running out for Democracy in Belarus?
    Is Time Running Out for Democracy in Belarus? Thursday, 17th December 2020 at 5pm Following a flawed election in August 2020, which was neither free nor fair, Belarusians have protested the denial of democracy. Thousands of protesters have been arrested. Detention is widespread. Hundreds have been subjected to torture and other prohibited ill treatment. Police use of force is routine. Ten protesters have been killed. The authorities act with impunity. The pioneers of democracy in Belarus are either in prison or forced into exile. The acknowledged leader of the democratic Belarus movement, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, continues to call for free and fair elections and to galvanise democracies across the globe in support of democracy in Belarus. Alexander Lukashenko, the last dictator in Europe, reasserts his grip on power. After four months of protests, what options are there for democracy in Belarus? This webinar will bring together the key international actors and we will grapple with the issues facing democratic Belarus. How do we make sanctions meaningful? Will there be accountability for the serious human rights violations taking place in Belarus? Is the potential of the Council of Europe as a broker for peace being overlooked? What can the OSCE achieve? Can Russia’s influence be used to support democracy in Belarus? Can the UN system hold Belarus to account? Will the EU be able to insist that Belarus complies with democratic values? Is there a role for the UK? All these questions and more will be discussed in depth. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions from all those attending.

  • Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross B
    Kerlin Gallery Dorothy Cross Dorothy Cross b. 1956, Cork, Ireland Like many of Dorothy Cross’ sculptures, Family (2005) and Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) sees the artist work with found objects, transforming them with characteristic wit and sophistication. Right Ball and Left Ball (2007) presents a pair of deflated footballs, no longer of use, their past buoyancy now anchored in bronze. Emerging from each is a cast of the artist’s hands, index finger extended upwards in a pointed gesture suggesting optimism or aspiration. In Family (2005) we see the artist’s undeniable craft and humour come together. Three spider crabs were found, dead for some time but still together. The intricacies of their form and the oddness of their sideways maneuvres forever cast in bronze. The ‘father’ adorned with an improbable appendage also pointing upwards and away. --- Working in sculpture, film and photography, Dorothy Cross examines the relationship between living beings and the natural world. Living in Connemara, a rural area on Ireland’s west coast, the artist sees the body and nature as sites of constant change, creation and destruction, new and old. This flux emerges as strange and unexpected encounters. Many of Cross’ works incorporate items found on the shore, including animals that die of natural causes. During the 1990s, the artist produced a series of works using cow udders, which drew on the animals' rich store of symbolic associations across cultures to investigate the construction of sexuality Dorothy Cross Right Ball and Left Ball 2007 cast bronze, unique 34 x 20 x 19 cm / 13.4 x 7.9 x 7.5 in 37 x 19 x 17 cm / 14.6 x 7.5 x 6.7 in DC20407A Dorothy Cross Family 2005 cast bronze edition of 2/4 dimensions variable element 1: 38 x 19 x 20 cm / 15 x 7.5 x 7.9 in element 2: 25 x 24 x 13 cm / 9.8 x 9.4 x 5.1 in element 3: 16 x 15 x 13 cm / 6.3 x 5.9 x 5.1 in DC17405-2/4 Dorothy Cross b.

  • Wandel Het Jabikspaad De Friese Camino!
    Wandel het Jabikspaad de Friese Camino! Het Jabikspaad (Fries voor Jacobspad) is een pelgrimsroute van ongeveer 130 kilometer. En loopt van Sint Jacobiparochie in Noordwest Friesland, via Leeuwarden of Franeker naar Heerenveen tot het eindpunt: Hasselt (Overijssel). Je loopt verschillende etappes, haalt stempels bij vriendelijke bewoners en ontdekt eeuwenoud erfgoed en prachtige natuurgebieden. De kracht van pelgrimeren Pelgrimeren is een actieve manier om onder de in - druk te raken van de stilte en schoonheid die de natuur en het landschap je biedt. Het dagelijkse tempo gaat omlaag, wat voor veel pelgrims een methode is om eigen levenservaringen toe te laten, te verwerken of tot rust te komen. Tijdens het wandelen en tijdens ontmoetingen er - vaar je de rijkdom van het leven. Het leven na een pelgrimsreis is dan ook altijd anders dan ervoor! ^ Wolkom yn Fryslan Wandelen in Friesland betekent: frisse lucht, een goed verzorgd wandelnetwerk, een gevarieerd land - schap, prachtige dorpen en Elfsteden, spontane ont - moetingen en hartelijke gastvrijheid. Deze natuur kom je tegen: * UNESCO Werelderfgoed De Waddenzee * Weidevogelreservaat De Lionserpolder * Natuurgebied De Deelen * Natuurgebied Lendevallei * Nationaal Park Weerribben-Wieden De Friese Camino de Santiago Volgens de legende droomde keizer Karel de Grote van een sterrenweg, beginnend bij de Friese Zee en eindi - gend in Spanje. De heilig verklaarde Jacobus verscheen in zijn droom en beloofde hem: Tot het einde der tijden, zullen pelgrims van zee tot zee trekken. Voor de keizer een reden om verschillende culturen van landen en volken te verbinden. Een groot netwerk van Europese Jacobswegen was ontstaan. Sinds 2000 is de Friese Camino voorzien van bewegwijzering en zijn er stempelposten voor wandelaars.

  • Culture and Change in Belarus
    East European Reflection Group (EE RG) Identifying Cultural Actors of Change in Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova Culture and Change in Belarus Report prepared by Yael Ohana, Rapporteur Generale Bratislava, August 2007 Culture and Change in Belarus “Life begins for the counter-culture in Belarus after regime change”. Anonymous, at the consultation meeting in Kiev, Ukraine, June 14 2007. Introduction1 Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine have recently become direct neighbours of the European Union. Both Moldova and Ukraine have also become closer partners of the European Union through the European Neighbourhood Policy. Neighbourhood usually refers to people next-door, people we know, or could easily get to know. It implies interest, curiosity and solidarity in the other living close by. For the moment, the European Union’s “neighbourhood” is something of an abstract notion, lacking in substance. In order to avoid ending up “lost in translation”, it is necessary to question and some of the basic premises on which cultural and other forms of European cooperation are posited. In an effort to create constructive dialogue with this little known neighbourhood, the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) and the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF) are currently preparing a three- year partnership to support cultural agents of change in Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. In the broad sense, this programme is to work with, and provide assistance to, initiatives and institutions that employ creative, artistic and cultural means to contribute to the process of constructive change in each of the three countries. ECF and GMF have begun a process of reflection in order to understand the extent to which the culture sphere in each of the three countries under consideration can support change, defined here as processes and dynamics contributing to democratisation, Europeanisation and modernisation in the three countries concerned.
