Re: Abstracts from folk narrative research congress
This is awesome Nalo...thanks!
And to return the favor, here's a post from the Endicott Bulletin board about a Central Asian Conference this Fall at Berkley. (c/o my mother, the Central Asian Scholar):
I mention this fall event here because they are going to have a
wonderful art exhibit of Mongolian painters--including the gorgeous
work of J. Munkhtsetseg. (Here's
an article on her in an old edition of Mongolia Today online.
Here's the information on the Conference
at Berkley:
Conference for AY 2005-2006:
Modes of Contemporary Central Asian Culture
Conference (September 24-25, 2005)
Art Exhibits (September-October 2005)
Film Series (September 1-30, 2005)
Conference
"Modes of Contemporary Central Asian Culture"
Saturday-Sunday, September 24-25, 2005
A campus location will be announced.
This two-day conference will provide a forum on contemporary art and filmmaking in Central Asia. Through an examination of the region's arts and other cultural forms, an attempt will be made to take a different view of the changing realities of Central Asian societies. Some of the questions we will address are: What is the history and future of filmmaking in Central Asia? What are the trends in Soviet and post-Soviet filmmaking? As the Soviet myths are discarded, what new archetypes are being created? Is there a Central Asian identity and, if so, how does it manifest itself? What are some of the reflections of Islamic, Soviet, ethnic, and national identities?
The program will be listed here as it becomes available.

Worth Ryder Gallery, Kroeber Hall, UC Berkeley (time to be announced)
The work of these contemporary Kazakh and Mongolian artists will offer another view of Central Asian culture. The artists will also be available to the campus community to discuss the recent dynamic changes in art and approaches to aesthetics taken by artists within cultures so little known in the West. It is hoped that this exchange of ideas will stimulate and enhance provocative cross-cultural thinking about contemporary art.
