Related exhibition at IMA: Preserving a Legacy: Wishard Hospital Murals in IMA's Alliance Gallery
In 1914, a group of renowned Hoosier artists painted murals for the benefit of patients at Wishard Memorial Hospital (then known as City Hospital). The IMA conservation department has been working to bring these murals back to their original condition since 2004, when they conserved a painting by Indiana African American artist William Edouard Scott. Since then, the conservation of several works by such Indiana artists as T. C. Steele, Clifton Wheeler, J. Ottis Adams and Wayman Adams has been completed. The exhibition includes a cleaned work by T. C. Steele, along with before and during treatment photographs, and a Carl Graf painting divided into partially cleaned and fully cleaned surfaces.

While Western tradition has sometimes thought of "spiritual" and "embodied" as contrasting terms, most today would agree that we are inescapably embodied. However it is that we are spiritual, we do it in and through our bodies. This workshop will invite participants to explore what ideas our bodies carry of spirituality and how we can use our bodies to explore widening spiritual horizons. The workshop will involve both individual exploration and some experimentation with low-key group exercises. Please wear comfortable clothes!

The IUPUI Film Club presents:Surreal Double Feature - Bunuel’s The Exterminating Angel (1962) and Simon of the Desert (1965)
The wicked bourgeois horror film The Exterminating Angel is considered by many to be Buñuel’s crowning achievement. In the film, members of Mexico’s bourgeois are invited to a dinner party at a mansion and for some unexplained reason find themselves incapable of exiting the house by night’s end. The Exterminating Angel plays out like a perverted disaster flick. Simon of the Desert is Luis Buñuel’s wild take on the life of devoted ascetic Saint Simeon Stylites, who waited atop a pillar surrounded by a barren landscape for six years, six months, and six days, in order to prove his devotion to God. Yet the devil, in the figure of the beautiful Silvia Pinal, huddles below, trying to tempt him down.
As Mexico staggers through our shared economic crisis, it is also battling a near civil war with drug cartels. How will it shape our lives in the US and Indiana? Listen to a Hoosier-Mexican diplomat.
When: Thursday March 12 4:45-5:30 PM
Where: Sagamore Institute (1630 N. Meridian Indianapolis)
For more information contact John Clark at john@sipr.org.
Daniel Hernández Joseph is a senior diplomat in Mexico introduces himself thus:
"I am a member of the Mexican foreign service with over 23 years experience in consular affairs. For many years, I've been specifically involved in the area of consular protection. Since most Mexican citizens abroad are concentrated in the US, my work has been closely related to the issues of immigration, human rights and labor rights in that country. That explains my interest in the subject of migration. However, I am developing this page purely on a personal basis.
My undergraduate training is in International Relations (Earlham College, Richmond, Indiana). My graduate degree is in Latin American Studies (University of Texas at Austin). Besides working as a consul and protection officer, I've also been cultural attache and have published a few short articles on subjects varying from art, to media analysis to consular protection."

Garbage Warrior
(2007, dir. Olive Hodge, 86 mins, NR)
This documentary opens with maverick architect Michael Reynolds doing pull-ups in his Earthship, a self-sustaining dwelling made from natural materials and the detritus of consumerism: tires, beer cans and plastic bottles. Filmmaker Oliver Hodge profiles a passionate, sometimes curmudgeonly visionary as he takes his architectural methods to tsunami-torn countries and battles to overturn inflexible zoning laws in the name of sustainability. Shot over three years and in four countries, Garbage Warrior is an often-humorous exploration of what it means to go against the grain.

In spite of being apprenticed to a pirate king as a child, Frederic has led a very sheltered life. So when he arrives on shore with his boisterous shipmates, there are few surprises in store for him! It all ends happily, but not before he's dodged the Old Bill, fallen in love and made some rather inconvenient discoveries. Gilbert & Sullivan's popular comedy features such well-known songs as "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" and "Poor Wandering One."

The first in the theater's Awaiting Illumination series, Oleanna introduces John, a well-intentioned but conflicted college professor anticipation of receiving tenure by the university review committee, and Carol, a troubled young student trying to shed light on the value of her instructor's sometimes confounding use of language.
Words and Action fly at the speed of human thought, frenetically rushed one moment and constricted the next, rhythmically restated for emphasis or dissolving in shifts of focus, whether intentional or calculated. The New York Times foresaw provocation of heated debate in the wake of Oleanna's original run and Time Magazine considered it "one of the ten best plays of 1992... reason enough to cheer for the future of the theatre." The Theater Within brings back Looking Within, the participatory forum which engages artists and audiences following each performance.

Charles Simic, who served last year as the United States’ 15th poet laureate, is one of the nation’s most honored and distinguished poets. Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in 1938, he emigrated to the U.S. in 1954. Over the last few decades, he has published dozens of books of poetry and prose, including Selected Poems: 1963-1983; The Voice at 3:00 AM: Selected Late and New Poems; The World Doesn’t End, which received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, and, in the past year, his most recent volume of poetry, That Little Something, and a collection of notebook entries, The Monster Loves His Labyrinth.
Simic has been prolific not just as a poet but as an editor, translator, and reviewer, and he has received numerous awards, including Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Arts and MacArthur fellowships, and, in 2007, the Wallace Stevens Award. He lives in Strafford, N.H., and is emeritus professor of English at the University of New Hampshire.Our Daily Bread (2005, dir. Nikolaus Geyrhalter, 92 mins, NR)
The film looks, without commenting, into the realms where food is produced: surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds. In a series of visually stunning, continuously tracking, wide-screen images that seem right out of a science-fiction movie, Our Daily Bread offers a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn’t always easy to digest. A pure, meticulous film experience that invites viewers to form their own ideas about food in today’s world. The New York Times calls the film “devastating…a must-see.” Viewer discretion advised.

Set in rural South India, a place where social barriers are built stronger than ancient fort walls, the film explores the chasm that divides classes as a young girl struggles to come of age. Vanaja, the 15 year old daughter of a financially troubled fisherman goes to work in the local landlady's house in hopes of learning Kuchipudi dance. She does well, but when the Landlady's son returns from the US, what begins as innocent flirtation turns ugly.Screen Zenith is a series featuring the award-winning films of emerging directors from across the globe.
Vanaja
(2006, dir. Rajnesh Domalpalli, 111 mins, India)
Vanaja, the teenage daughter of a financially troubled fisherman, takes a job in a local landlady’s house in hopes of learning Kuchipudi, a classical Indian dance originating from South India.

The IUPUI English/ Film Majors and the cinephiles Film Club present: Iranian Film Screenings featuring Lakposhtha ham Parvaz Mikonand / Turtles Can Fly (Bahman Ghobadi, 2004)
It's free, no registration required. just show up. Possible discussion afterwards. For more information please contact Wanda Colwell.Turtles Can Fly — Children teetering on the borderI wish everyone who has an opinion on the war in Iraq could see "Turtles Can Fly." That would mean everyone in the White House and in Congress, and the newspaper writers, and the TV pundits, and the radio talkers, and you -- especially you, because you are reading this and they are not.
You assume the movie is a liberal attack on George W. Bush's policies. Not at all. The action takes place just before the American invasion begins, and the characters in it look forward to the invasion and the fall of Saddam Hussein. Nor does the movie later betray an opinion one way or the other about the war. It is about the actual lives of refugees, who lack the luxury of opinions because they are preoccupied with staying alive in a world that has no place for them.
The movie takes place in a Kurdish refugee camp somewhere on the border between Turkey and Iraq. That means, in theory, it takes place in "Kurdistan," a homeland that exists in the minds of the Kurds, even though every other government in the area insists the Kurds are stateless. The characters in the movie are children and teenagers, all of them orphans; there are adults in the camp, but the kids run their own lives -- especially a bright wheeler-dealer named Satellite (Soran Ebrahim), who organizes work gangs of other children.
What is their work? They disarm land mines, so they can be re-sold to arms dealers in the nearby town. The land mines are called "American," but this is a reflection of their value and not a criticism of the United States; they were planted in the area by Saddam Hussein, in one of his skirmishes with Kurds and Turks. Early in the film, we see a character named Hyenkov (Hirsh Feyssal), known to everyone as The Boy With No Arms, who gently disarms a mine by removing the firing pin with his lips.
Satellite pays special attention to a girl named Agrin (Avaz Latif), who is Hyenkov's sister. They have a little brother named Risa, who is carried about with his arms wrapped around the neck of his armless brother. We think he is their brother, that is, until we discover he is Agrin's child, born after she was raped by Iraqi soldiers while still almost a child herself. The armless boy loves Risa; his sister hates him, because of her memories.
Is this world beginning to take shape in your mind? The refugees live in tents and huts. They raise money by scavenging. Satellite is the most resourceful person in the camp, making announcements, calling meetings, assigning work, and traveling ceremonially on a bicycle festooned with ribbons and glittering medallions. He is always talking, shouting, hectoring, at the top of his voice: He is too busy to reflect on the misery of his life.
The village is desperate for information about the coming American invasion. There is a scene of human comedy in which every household has a member up on a hill with a makeshift TV antenna; those below shout instructions: "To the left! A little to the right!" But no signal is received. Satellite announces that he will go to town and barter for a satellite dish. There is a sensation when he returns with one. The elders gather as he tries to bring in a signal. The sexy music video channels are prohibited, but the elders wait patiently as Satellite cycles through the sin until he finds CNN, and they can listen for English words they understand. They hate Saddam and eagerly await the Americans.
But what will the Americans do for them? The plight of the Kurdish people is that no one seems to want to do much for them. Even though a Kurd has recently been elected to high office in Iraq, we get the sense he was a compromise candidate -- chosen precisely because his people are powerless. For years the Kurds have struggled against Turkey, Iraq and other nations in the region, to define the borders of a homeland the other states refuse to acknowledge.
From time to time the aims of the Kurds come into step with the aims of others. When they were fighting Saddam, the first Bush administration supported them. When they were fighting our ally Turkey, we opposed them. The New York Times Magazine recently ran a cover story about Ibrahim Parlak, who for 10 years peacefully ran a Kurdish restaurant in Harbert, Mich., only to be arrested in 2004 by the federal government, which hopes to deport him for Kurdish nationalist activities that at one point we approved. Because I support Ibrahim's case, I can read headlines on right-wing sites such as, "Roger Ebert Gives Thumbs Up to Terrorism."
I hope Debbie Schlussel, who wrote that column, sees "Turtles Can Fly." The movie does not agree with her politics, or mine. It simply provides faces for people we think of as abstractions. It was written and directed by Bahman Ghobadi, whose "A Time for Drunken Horses" (2000), was also about Kurds struggling to survive between the lines. Satellite has no politics. Neither does The Boy With No Arms, or his sister, or her child born of rape; they have been trapped outside of history.
Last week I was on a panel at the University of Colorado where an audience member criticized movies for reducing the enormity of the Holocaust to smaller stories. But there is no way to tell a story big enough to contain all of the victims of the Holocaust, or all of the lives affected for good and ill in the Middle East. Our minds cannot process that many stories. What we can understand is The Boy With No Arms, making a living by disarming land mines like the one that blew away his arms. And Satellite, who tells the man in the city he will trade him 15 radios and some cash for a satellite dish. Where did Satellite get 15 radios? Why? You need some radios?
Since the end of the cold war, the U.S. has emerged as the world's predominant power. However, in the 21st century some rapidly developing countries have become increasingly influential. Who are these rising powers? Will their emergence change the global balance of power? How will the U.S. react?

Manufactured Landscapes
(2006, dir. Jennifer Baichwal, 90 mins, NR)
Photographer Edward Burtynsky makes striking images of factories, mines and dams to create art from the debris of the industrialized world. Following Burtynsky on his voyage to Asia, filmmaker Baichwal also documents the human and environmental impacts of the “made in China” label. The film raises questions about the responsibility of artists to their subjects, and our collective, creative response to the status quo.
Co-presented by the Indiana Recycling Coalition.
Professor Una Okonkwo Osili’s research lies within the field of development economics. In particular, she studies how households in developing countries make economic decisions where incomes are low and variable, and especially in the presence of market imperfections. Households rely on family members and community resources to deal with adverse economic circumstances which may include unemployment, ill health, crop loss and bad weather. In most cases, formal markets that provide credit and insurance are not well developed. Furthermore, government programs that can provide aid to households tend to be limited in scope.
Migration - the relocation of one or more family members - can expand the resources available to households and provide some protection against location-specific shocks. In her research, Professor Osili has collected and analyzed data in Nigeria and the United States on the transfers that immigrants send to their home families.
Can communities generate the resources to enable development? Currently, Professor Osili is studying the private income contributions and institutions using data from Indonesia. She plans to examine transfers to community-level institutions in other parts of the developing world and the role that community groups can play in the process of economic development.
In 2006, she received the Stevenson Fellowship from the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council. In 2007, she was appointed as a fellow of the Networks Financial Institute. She has published articles in academic journals including World Development, World Bank Economic Review, Journal of Population Economics, and Economic Development and Cultural Change, Journal of Development Economics and the Review of Economics and Statistics. She has also contributed to several edited volumes and books. She has served as a consultant for the United Nations Development Program, the United Economics Commission for Africa and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Una Osili has served on the International Scientific Panel for the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa/Macarthur Foundation Real Economies of Africa program. She has also served as a member of the Expert Advisory Panel for the Economic Report on Africa published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
She received her bachelor’s degree in economics with honors from Harvard University and her M.A and Ph.D. in economics from Northwestern University. She is involved in several non-profit organizations including serving as the Chair and Co-Founder of the Philippe Wamba Fund for Road Safety in Africa.

Luhrmann’s psychedelic, MTV-style Romeo + Juliet delights with an over-the-top sensibility. Black Orpheus won the Palme d’Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival; Romeo + Juliet received an Oscar nomination for Art Direction.
