While we might give up some control over the outcome, we can discover a lot about our own artistic process, and what may be shared or unique about it. Over the course of this class, we will play, experiment and learn together through a series of projects and games. Camp 4: Mural Arts Murals are an art form that is deeply rooted in place and community.

  • Axé: Multiple Meanings with a Sole Essence Found in the Unity of Body, Nature and Spirit
    Axé: Multiple Meanings with a Sole Essence Found in the Unity of Body, Nature and Spirit PLÍNIO TADEU DE GÓES, JR. hat does the word axé signify? Is there a way to create one Wdefinition for the word? The term is capable of multiple meanings. How do we unite all of these unique meanings within a single conceptual framework in order to better grasp each distinct understanding of the term? Can we reach a totalizing understanding of axé? Over the course of this paper, I will discuss the various meanings of the term in the hopes that this will add to our understanding of the complex relationships between religion, music, popular culture, and politics in the context of the African diaspora in the Americas. As opposed to discussing how some popular music finds its origin within Candomblé rituals, however, I go beyond such well-known histories and seek to explain how the theology of Candomblé manifests itself in ritual and popular music. Avoiding generalizations, I believe that African religious philosophies have played a primary role in generating a way of life in Northeastern South America and the Caribbean. I use the term axé to explore the above-mentioned relationships because the term appears simultaneously in Candomblé theology, Afro-Brazilian religious practices, and popular music. This article represents the first attempt to explicitly place this central facet of Candomblé theology as a crucial element at the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture. To some Brazilians, the term connotes a sort of upbeat reggae- infused dance music genre, danced at a frighteningly exhausting aerobic pace, from the Northeastern region of the country.

  • Stories and Storytelling - Added Value in Cultural Tourism
    Stories and storytelling - added value in cultural tourism Introduction It is in the nature of tourism to integrate the natural, cultural and human environment, and in addition to acknowledging traditional elements, tourism needs to promote identity, culture and interests of local communities – this ought to be in the very spotlight of tourism related strategy. Tourism should rely on various possibilities of local economy, and it should be integrated into local economy structure so that various options in tourism should contribute to the quality of people's lives, and in regards to socio-cultural identity it ought to have a positive effect. Proper treatment of identity and tradition surely strengthen the ability to cope with the challenges of world economic growth and globalisation. In any case, being what you are means being part of others at the same time. We enrich others by what we bring with us from our homes. (Vlahović 2006:310) Therefore it is a necessity to develop the sense of culture as a foundation of common identity and recognisability to the outer world, and as a meeting place of differences. Subsequently, it is precisely the creative imagination as a creative code of traditional heritage through intertwinement and space of flow, which can be achieved solely in a positive surrounding, that presents the added value in tourism. Only in a happy environment can we create sustainable tourism with the help of creative energy which will set in motion our personal aspirations, spread inspiration and awake awareness with the strength of imagination. Change is possible only if it springs from individual consciousness – „We need a new way to be happy” (Laszlo, 2009.).

  • S and Y Spieler
    SANDYSPIELER 2014 DISTINGUISHED ARTIST She changes form. She moves in between things and in between states, from liquid to solid to vapor: raindrop, snowflake, cloud. She orients. She refreshes. She transforms and sculpts everyone she encounters. She is a landmark and a route to follow. She quenches our thirst. We will not live without the lessons in which she continually involves us any more than we could live without water. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION SHE MOVES LIKE WATER: When a MinnPost interviewer asked Sandy Spieler why she had chosen puppets as her medium, Sandy replied that “ DIVINING SANDY SPIELER HAVE NO PUPPETS COLLEEN SHEEHY 3 LIFE OF THEIR OWN, AND YET, WHEN YOU PICK THEM UP, A BREATH COMES INTO THEM. And then, when you lay them down, the breath goes THEATER OF HOPE out. It’s the ritual of life: We’re brought to our birth, then we move in our DAVID O’FALLON 18 life, then we lie down to the earth again.” For Sandy, such transformation is the very essence of art, and the transformation IN THE HEART OF THE CITY in which she specializes extends far beyond any single performance. She and her HARVEY M. WINJE 21 colleagues and her neighbors transform ideas into spectacle. They transform everyday materials like cardboard, sticks, fabric, and paper into figures that come to life. And through their art, Sandy and her collaborators at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet BIGGER THAN OURSELVES and Mask Theatre (HOBT) have helped transform their city and our region. Their PAM COSTAIN 25 work—which invites people in by traveling to where they live, learn, play, and work— combines arresting visuals, movement, and music to inspire us to be the caretakers of our communities and the earth.
