Tin Moe became a member of the National League for Democracy (NLD) and dedicated a number of unpublished poems to the democracy movement, to fallen students, to Aung San Suu Kyi and her mother Khin Kyi. The poem quoted above was recited at a meeting held by the NLD on 9th December 1988 in celebration of Writers’ Day. Win Tin, one of Aung San Suu Kyi’s main advisers, chaired the meeting and the keynote lecture – on poetry as a continuing source of inspiration to all Burmese striving for freedom and independence – was given by Tin Moe. The writer and translator Maung Thawka also spoke. Win Tin is still in prison; Maung Thawka died in prison in 1991. At this time of arrests, tortures, killings and deep fear among people including mothers whose children had been killed or fled the country, Tin Moe wrote:

My son, please speak to me, in whispers (Amei. tha:, saga: to:do: pyaw:hle-ba)

Wayward son, It was a sweet song, now stained with spattered blood, A guitar lies on the seat outside and sadly sings no more. Close by your mother’s house each night The soldiers pass stamp-stamping booted feet. They stand out there and wait.

My wayward son, Are you lying in pain with malaria out in the dripping rain? I seem to hear your voice crying sounding faint in my ear through each deluding night. Where, oh where are you now, dear son? Your college pennant with its ‘fighting peacock’ was found all bloodied in a gutter this evening, by some people from our neighbourhood. My own wayward son, come now, whisper some words to comfort me. , December 2003, , December

Tin Moe was appointed editor-in-chief of the literary magazine Pei-hpu-hlwa, but arrested in December 1991 after only one issue. Released in February 1995, as a sign that he would not be silenced, he published this short verse: Burma Nieuws Burma

Ivaldo Bertazzo Social Evolution through Dance

by Danilo Santos de Miranda

Ivaldo Bertazzo has, for quite some time, been developing and refining a programme of work derived from an innovative perspective on movement. Oriented towards the retrieval of the expressiveness of gesture, Bertazzo has studied the social function of dance, conceiving it both as a language and a form of expression related to the principles of organisation, rhythm and aesthetics projected in space particular to specific cultures. He has looked at gesture in countries such as Turkey, Greece, Tahiti and India, among others. Connecting these elements to a deep understanding of anatomy, using biomechanics, knowledge of the locomotor system and physiotherapy, Bertazzo has established principles for the re-education of movement. He believes that it is in the physical dimension that we strengthen our ability to relate to the world, and that the language of the body, as a social and, above all, a cultural construct, produces different forms of interaction with others. From this foundation, he attributes to dance the potential to create collective harmony, which, in turn, Samwaad – Street of Encounters originates from practices on consciousness, organisation, mobility and change in common standards of movement. His particular interest is the transformation of movements limited by the urban connotation of the body. As his work gained recognition, Bertazzo opened two fronts in his career: as an educator and as a choreographer, employing distinct types of performance based on the techniques that constitute his method. His concern regarding Brazilian social problems led him to translate his ideas on the retrieval of gesture, its influence on the materiality of bodies in movement and on individual and collective identities, into a programme of re-education. Staged performances with professional dancers gradually gave way to ‘dance citizenship’, a project in which he dedicated himself to working with deprived communities. Through Dance Citizenship, Bertazzo has created an extremely important educational process. A performance that develops in this socially focused programme does not simply aim at a fine aesthetic result. The aesthetic meaning of the performance encompasses an ethical dimension – it makes sense if the social and cultural transformations have been effectively constituted in the participants from the deprived community. Teenagers from communities in adverse social conditions in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are selected to participate in the Dance Citizenship programme during which they build new knowledge and experience personal change through theoretical and practical learning. Themes of history, health, communication and verbal expression, in addition to the dynamics of the group relationship, complete the intense daily physical preparation, exercises and dedication. Within this preparatory process, among other aspects of undeniable importance, dignity and self-esteem arise. By the end of the programme, a sense of cohesion has grown and the members of the group, transformed by the new meanings imprinted in their ‘bodies-citizens’, go on with their lives, re-qualified and entirely able to continually educate themselves. The educative potential of cultural activity – in this particular case, of dance – is an inherent principle of the socio-cultural action plan that has been carried on for decades by SESC (Social Service of Commerce) São Paulo, implementing cultural activities for different publics, co-ordinated by cultural entrepreneurs with innovative ideas for theatre, music, cinema and Youngsters from the project ‘Dance Community’ with Bertazzo, Ivaldo rehearsing Community’ ‘Dance the project from Youngsters Photograph by Gal by Oppido Photograph visual arts.

Bhutan Archery Federation Revitalising Tradition

by Françoise Pommaret

The decision by the Prince Claus Fund for Culture and Development to acknowledge the Bhutan Archery Federation for its athletic and socio-cultural achievements makes the whole of Bhutan happy and proud. A small kingdom tucked in the Eastern Himalayas between two giants, China and India, and with only around 750,000 inhabitants, Bhutan has never been conquered by any colonial power. In the past, archery was the country’s main defence against foes and invaders, and Tibetan warriors as well as British emissaries and soldiers have praised the skill of the Bhutanese archers with their lethal arrows dipped in deadly aconitum. Archery was not used for hunting in Bhutan. Being devout Buddhists, the Bhutanese will not kill an animal unless it is absolutely necessary and hunting as a pastime is inconceivable. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the advent of the monarchy, the country was more peaceful and archery became a competitive game between village teams. The skills of the village archers are extraordinary – accurately shooting an arrow with a bamboo bow at a small target, one hundred and ten metres away, and often, because of the nature of the terrain in Bhutan, the target is on the other side of a ravine. Many religious beliefs are intrinsically interwoven into the traditional game, even if these are not visible to the outsider. Winning a match against the next village is a momentous event and a national identity marker of such importance that the local deities are summoned for help through special rituals. Girls from the village dance, sing and make bawdy comments about the rival team in order to make them lose concentration. Deeply ingrained in the Bhutanese psyche, all these elements combine to uphold archery as a part of the intangible culture of Bhutan, a local heritage not simply a sport. Archery is linked with the villagers’ identity and with the nation itself. It bonds Bhutanese together not only by specific technique and skills but also through the weight of its historical and religious values. However, although Bhutan had the human resources and a long tradition, its archery was not compatible with international standards and styles. Moreover traditional archery was seen, because of cultural concepts, as a man’s game. A woman cannot touch a bow. When the skills of the Bhutanese archers became internationally known it was immediately assumed they would enter international arenas and competitions, but there were hurdles. One obstacle was the style of shooting. While the Bhutanese archer shoots with a bent body and the arrow pointing more towards the sky, the international archer stands straight, feet apart, the upper body slightly turned and the bow in a vertical position. In addition, the Bhutanese archer uses a bamboo bow quite unlike the international equipment. The challenge was to introduce the international styles and standards in the country while keeping traditional archery alive with all its decorum and beliefs. To meet this challenge, the Bhutan Archery Federation was formed in the early 1980s. It started scouting the country and telling people that yes, women could shoot arrows. It brought male and female archers to be trained in the capital Thimphu, first, by coaches from the US on short assignment and then, later, the Federation recruited Korean coaches for long-term contracts. The first ‘international style’ archers were also the first Bhutanese athletes to participate in the Olympics Games. Although the stress of the fierce competition in Los Angeles in 1984, the lack of previous international exposure, and the relatively short training period

She worked with Kurt Bittel for many years and together they founded the independent Chair of Prehistory within the Department of Archaeology. In 1960, she became professor, lecturing at Saarbrücken University as visiting professor, 1962-63. From the beginning, Halet Çambel was a remarkable teacher with a notion of discipline based on affection and to whom all the students showed great respect. She respected their personalities and shared her own warm personality and intellectual universe with them in a participatory climate. All her former students are now active in the field of archaeology at an international level and contribute to studies that illuminate our cultural heritage. Halet Çambel’s teaching activities overlapped with archaeological field studies starting in 1939 with the excavation of the Pis¸mis¸ Kale at Afyon for the French Archaeological Institute of Istanbul. In 1943, she excavated Hashöyük at Afyon, which formed her doctoral thesis, and later directed excavations at the city of Midas during 1948-49. Together with H. Th. Bossert, she uncovered Karatepe, located at the Kadirli district of Adana, introducing this ancient Hittite settlement to the archaeological world for the first time. The following year, she started excavations there, together with Bahadır Alkım and Bossert, and subsequently took over the restoration and preservation of this site, including its development into an open-air museum. Through her efforts, the whole region gained the status of a National Forest Park. She documented the Aslantas¸ Lake Area, with all its historical and natural assets. In the same year, she made an expedition at Kadirli and prepared the archaeological inventory of the region. During 1965-66, she worked at the modern city of Adana, this time registering and documenting the vernacular architecture and archaeological remains for their future preservation. She also extensively investigated the Adana, Hatay and S¸çel regions, preparing inventories of historical heritage, and went on to document the archaeologically significant sites between Mersin and Anamur ensuring their recognition and protection as national conservation areas. Her efforts in the Karatepe region alone should be remembered as a heroic cultural mission. First of all, she managed to lower the maximum water level of the Aslantas¸ Dam during its construction. I personally witnessed this one-woman battle, hardly conceivable for anyone else. Rushing back and forth between the many involved ministries in Ankara, she achieved what nobody thought possible. As a result of her dedication, the dam was built according to a new design that was technically correct and, at the same time, left the ancient Karatepe site intact. Halet Çambel’s labours at Karatepe provide the best evidence of her humanistic approach: placing people at the centre of all her concerns, she initiated the upgrading of regional

and drinking water, opening of new public schools and workshops for local communities, organising literacy courses and introducing young goatherds to a promising future through education, encouraging the rural population to attend workshops where they could learn different handicrafts, weaving kilims coloured with natural dyes, and even organising the marketing of these products. Whatever she delegated or commissioned – including architecture – she led in a definite direction: to become contemporary and lasting without copying the past. She demonstrated how the contemporary museum could be a setting for public education. Thinking fifty years ahead for the future of Turkey, initiating institutions relevant within this long-ranging vision and trying to provide precautions for the survival of these institutions was one of her motivating principles. She survived all these struggles, at the same time fighting against ignorant people who destroyed national forests through fire or illegal chopping, despotic landlords, people who threatened her with death, and treasure hunters who plundered archaeological sites. In short, Halet Çambel came to Karatepe on horseback – the only means of transport at that time – and transformed its environs into a civilised region with modern roads and facilities, and above all, a population open to further development. This constitutes an exemplary competence for Turkey, a ‘Best Practice’. Throughout all this work, her scientific research and productivity never ceased. Halet Çambel is the author of over 50 scientific articles published in international media and her books include Karatepe: Yeni Bir Eti Harabesi (1946), Bosazköy (1951), and The Inscriptions of Karatepe- Aslantas¸ (1999). When she was working on the Mersin-Anamur axis, she collaborated with the Chicago University Institute of Oriental Studies and started the Joint Istanbul-Chicago Universities’ Prehistoric Research Project in South-eastern Anatolia. This initiated the realisation of extensive field studies in the provinces of Siirt, Diyarbakır and Urfa, which in turn led to the Çayönü excavations. The findings provided fundamental knowledge about humankind’s transition from nomadic hunting and gathering to settled agrarian societies. Çayönü proved to be the oldest or first human settlement – a great discovery for Anatolia and humanity. Halet Çambel also participated in the organisation, realisation and publications of the

¸ site, Anatolia, Turkey, Turkey, Anatolia, ¸ site, Keban Project, started in 1967 in collaboration with Michigan University, to salvage historical monuments and sites in danger of flooding through the construction of the Keban Dam. In conjunction with this project, her contributions to the Lower Euphrates rescue excavations in 1974 should not be overlooked. In 1976, she was active in establishing the Archeometry Unit of TUBITAK together with many participating scientists from METU, Hacettepe, Istanbul, Istanbul Technical and Bosphorus universities. A highly respected intellectual, Halet Çambel has been a member of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies since 1954, and a full member of the German Archaeological Institute in Istanbul since 1964. She was the first Turk to be awarded membership of the American Philosophical Society in 1979, and also the first woman to represent Turkey in the Olympic Games in 1936. She received the Italian Adelaide Ristori Award in 1986 and was selected as an Honorary Member of the Turkish Science Academy in 1995. Halet Çambel is a monumental personality who has played an extraordinary role in the cultural life and humanitarian development of modern Turkey.

Omara Khan Massoudi Negotiating Safe Passage

by Nancy Hatch Dupree

Through many dangerous years, Omara Khan Massoudi, steadfastly dedicated himself to the protection of Afghanistan’s cultural heritage. At a time when war, massive looting and iconoclastic campaigns threatened to obliterate one of the world’s most opulent museums, as well as other cultural properties of world renown, he held the line in defence of culture. The majority of the holdings of the National Museum of Afghanistan were treasures retrieved from Afghan archaeological sites and therefore truly illuminated the nation’s history, from the Lower Paleolithic era to the ethnographic present. Because of the country’s position at the crossroads of ancient trading routes, many of the objects were luxury trade items originally from Rome, , Central Asia, China and India – items that had no parallels. Thus the collections were of inestimable value for historians and for the world in general. The building housing these collections sits outside the capital city of Kabul, exposed and unprotected. As resistance against the Soviet invasion escalated after 1989, there were increasing concerns for the safety of the objects. Mr Massoudi, a member of the museum staff at the time, was involved in the removal of the most precious objects to safe havens inside the city and in the packing and shifting of other artefacts to various storerooms. By 1992 the Soviets had gone but law and order had broken down and fierce fighting raged around the museum. Officially, as a member of the sitting government, Mr Massoudi was prohibited from visiting the museum which was then in the centre of enemy territory. Consumed by frustration and worry over the safety of the collections, he made several dangerous clandestine night-time visits. He found the building a burnt out shell, the roof felled by rockets, doors and windows smashed thus providing easy access, and empty packing cases strewn about outside, clearly indicating that considerable looting was taking place. Mr Massoudi took the initiative of making contact with the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General to Afghanistan and Pakistan in Islamabad. Together they negotiated a safe passage agreement which enabled staff to work at the museum under the watchful eye of their opponents. Rockets continued to fall throughout this tense period, but Mr Massoudi and his staff worked with determination through harsh winters without heat or electricity to clear the galleries of rubble from the fallen roof, patiently separating objects from the mounds of debris. Iron doors were affixed to the storerooms and the windows secured with iron bars. Nevertheless, objects continued to disappear and, in the summer of 1996, the staff received orders to once again pack up all the remaining artefacts and shift them into the city. By this time everyone was apprehensively anticipating the arrival of the Taliban. At first, Mr Massoudi established amicable relations with the leaders of the new regime, but after four stressful years an ultraconservative faction took charge bringing extreme changes which eventually resulted in the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in March 2001 and the subsequent intentional destruction of some of the museum’s most outstanding sculptures. Mr Massoudi, now Deputy Director, bore the brunt of the animosity prevailing during this volatile period. By resolutely refusing to abide by the government’s destructive policies and directives, taking evasive actions and withholding information, Mr Massoudi put himself at great risk. At times he was reduced to selling potatoes on the sidewalk in order to survive, but his

Memoria Abierta Passion and Method for the Reconstruction of History

by Horacio González

During the regime of the military government that seized power in Argentina in 1976, a machinery of terror was created without precedent in the nation’s history. Admittedly, acts of cruelty or repression were not rare in the country’s historical cycles but, this time, personal destinies were decided in dark clandestine offices, where the annihilation of thousands of citizens was methodically planned. ‘Annihilate’ is the precise verb that was used. These were systematic acts, in which the disappearance of persons assumed the character of mass production. Anonymous serial acts formed a hidden process of the elimination of identities and the suppression of bodies. Entire sections of the Argentine state became clandestine in order to produce this result. Memoria Abierta is the reverse of those acts. It is a critique of them, and in some way a making amends for them. But it is a very elaborate and subtle making of amends, a firm and precious form of justice – justice in time and with ceremonies that consist of accumulating details, absent voices and relics, the triumph over affliction of an anthropological and vital justice. That is where the necessary and constituent paradox lies. It is the justice of the name, and the justice of the memory. For that reason, the construction of a public database is a narrative of human restitution – a database on the centres connected with State terrorism brings back those howls that fell on the deaf ears of ominous demons in human guise who were possessed by the desire to subdue lives. Memoria Abierta is an institution of institutions – it brings together several that share the same passion and determination. Its visible action is solid and meticulous. It compiles serene catalogues of collections of documents that establish a public reference system on the deeds of terror. The attitude is one of moderation, but the theme is incommensurable. Memoria Abierta sets out to unite words and things, names and subjects, texts and the historical ashes of an era that cannot be justified. It is an act that finally reunites ethics and history. One could say that Memoria Abierta calls history to that great reunion. We know that history is a human practice that can be abducted by horror. But the practice of history, in this case, is a restitution of memory as a moral and methodological movement. Instruments are called in to return history to its true name, and skills are brought in from anthropology, archaeology and the art of documentation – not just any documentation, but one which is at the eye-level of the just in the murky mire of history. These forms of human knowledge – library and archive sciences and information technology – are also given an opportunity to reflect on their own cognitive resources. If Memoria Abierta evokes the illustrious act of unity between justice and investigative skills, the language of truth has to work on the macabre ruins of the other language – on the unspeakable allegories of a political and human nightmare. The names given to their acts by the agents of terror themselves were the product of tormented imaginations. They were the metaphors of blood and fear, sometimes disguised with a brutal innocence or an immodest irony. For instance, the concentration camps were given

Farroukh Qasim Through the Prism of the Human Wisdom of Diverse Cultures

By Elena Edgar

Against a background of civil unrest, shortage of resources and lack of support, Farroukh Qasim has succeeded in developing a new style of theatre, which draws on the historical sources of Tajik culture and has an essential role to play in reintegrating Tajikistan into the wider cultural space from which it was cut off during the Soviet period. Farroukh Qasim was born into a family of actors in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, in 1945. After finishing school, he worked for a short time as a typesetter, and then on a geological expedition, while he tried to decide on his future. After completing one year in the faculty of physics at the Tajik State University with distinction, he left the university and enrolled in the department of theatre direction at the Tajik State Institute of Arts. It immediately became clear that he had made the right choice: before he had finished his studies he was invited to work as an actor at the Lakhuti Academic Drama Theatre, which became his home for the next 19 years. An outstanding actor, Qasim played the leading role in some 20 productions during that time, and was awarded as an Honoured Artist of Tajikistan. At the end of the 1970s, he exchanged this status as a recognised actor, favoured by the public, for the thorny path of a director. His first production, My love, Elektra by the Hungarian writer Lazslo Gyorko, made his trajectory clear. The ancient Greek myth of Elektra, incapable of compromise and unwilling to live in a society based on lies, aroused an enthusiastic response in its audience. It also raised suspicion in the authorities and five years elapsed before his next production – Mikhail Bulgakov’s Molière (Kabala Svyatosh), which deals with the manipulation of the dramatist and director by the authorities. The tragic role of Molière was played by Qasim, highlighting associations with the totalitarian regime. It was clear that other space was needed to bring his ideas to life and, in 1988, he directed Molière’s Tartuffe in the tiny theatre of Kurgan-Tyube, a small provincial town in Tajikistan. The experiment was a success, which led to a new life, migrating from one stage to another beyond the eyes of the authorities. The form of mainstream drama in Tajikistan was moulded during the Soviet period, in the image of European drama as interpreted in the Russian theatre. At the end of the 1980s Tajikistan, like other non-Russian territories of the former Soviet Union, went through a period of national revival. In 1990 the Tajik language, Farsi, which links Tajiks with the 75 million Persian speakers outside the former USSR, at last gained the status of state language, and Qasim’s approach to his native Persian poetry launched a new direction for theatre in Tajikistan. The social liberalisation that began towards the end of the 1980s and the perestroika of the 1990s enabled him not only to continue his experiments but also to create his own theatrical collective, Akhorun. In a small and poor country, where the possibilities for artists are constrained by politics, language and geography, this was a major challenge. Despite the lack of resources, the best actors came to join his studio theatre. Akhorun’s first production, Josef the lost will come back to Khanaan (Yusufi gumgashta boz oyad ba Kanjon) was recognised as a significant cultural event far beyond the borders of Tajikistan. Tajiks are heirs to the great written culture of the Persian language, and this was a

In Awards 2003,Photograph he released José theCarlos album Nievas Carlito Marrón. Carlito Marrón is the second heteronym chosen by that boy who was born in Bahía in the early sixties. He explains that Salvador de Bahía, where he lives, is ‘a meeting point in the world, because here there is a convergence of slave trafficking, the Dutch invasion and Yorubas, Angolans, Jejés, Fon, Marrín, Abakuá... As well as the Saxons, Iberians, Lebanese and people from throughout the world.’ His music is ‘a way of telling people my influences from the chanchada and the rumberos. I have roots from several parts of the world…’ He has even invented ‘portuñol’, a way of expressing himself through a mixture of languages. Carlito Marrón shows the incredible musical plurality of Carlinhos Brown, who mixes Brazil, Cuba, Africa and Spain with that avalanche of ideas that characterise the Bahian.

‘Revolution destroys, evolution builds,’ says Carlinhos. ‘We do not want paternalism, we desire social urgency. Food handouts or learning how to grow our own? Learn and pass on that knowledge so that everyone benefits. Mankind needs to dance together, to dance forever.’

His latest album El milagro de Candeal, is also more than just a collection of great songs. It is the exemplary statement of how music and solidarity can go hand in hand and can also make
