Vegetarian Thanksgiving Dinner

Contact: Will Major, Interfaith Center Assistant Director
549-7387 OR ucm (at) siu.edu

On Thursday, November 18th approximately 200 people will gather at the
Interfaith Center in Carbondale to celebrate Thanksgiving a week earlier
than most calendars otherwise indicate. The reason being that this
Thanksgiving Dinner is unique: there's no turkey.

For many years, the Vegetarian Thanksgiving Dinner has been the premiere
autumn event for the Interfaith Center, and it takes cooperation from
several other groups to put together the feast. Partners this year include
the Student Environmental Center (SEC), the Neighborhood Co-op, Dayemi
Tariqat, and the Southern Illinois Center for a Sustainable Future. They
all have a commitment to the annual dinner because it presents a healthier
alternative to the traditional concept of Thanksgiving, without sacrificing
any of the fun.

"This dinner gives people a chance to come together and eat wholesome food
in celebration of the all-giving Mother Earth" says Kim Stakal, an SEC
member who has been involved with the event for the past several years. The
menu includes tofu turkey, dressing and gravy, mashed potatoes, seitan
stroganoff, sweet potatoes, salad, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. With
the exception of the stroganoff, all these dishes will be vegan, meaning
they contain no animal products whatsoever.

Serving will begin at 5:30, but in past years the line to get in often
begins forming as early as 4:30. A suggested donation of $5 per person (or
$10 for families) is appreciated. Volunteer help is also needed to prepare
the seating and clean up afterward. Call 549-7387 for more information.

BREAD AND PUPPET

Bread & Puppet is Here!!!
The most wonderful participatory artistic experience in the entire universe beckons you.

BREAD AND PUPPET THEATER'S
FIRST WORLD INSURRECTION IN CAMBRIDGE

A POST-ELECTION RUCKUS PLAYED OUT FROM NOVEMBER 4-21

(Cambridge, MA) The Bread and Puppet Theater presents the First World Insurrection, a post-election ruckus played out in Cambridge, November 4-21. Performances and Symposium held at the Cambridge Family YMCA Theatre / Durrell Hall, 820 Massachusetts Avenue, Central Square, and Art Exhibit installed at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University, Main Quad on Mellen St. (off Mass. Ave.), between Harvard and Porter Squares. Both venues are wheelchair accessible. For advance tickets, on sale from October 18th on, and information on all events call the Cambridge Family
YMCA (www.cambymca.org) at 617-661-9622, extension 706.

Artistic Director Peter Schumann and his band of eight Vermont puppeteers will join forces with 20 local puppeteers and the Cambridge-based Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band. Their residency in Cambridge includes three puppet shows (a double-bill geared towards adults and one "family-friendly" show), a "Now What" political art symposium, and an exhibit showcasing Schumann's visual artwork. Each of these opportunities will include the traditional serving of Schumann's famous sourdough rye bread (baked in a temporary outdoor oven in the YMCA parking lot), drizzled with garlic-laden aioli, and the sale of the theater's "cheap art." In November, the city of Cambridge will indeed be the stage upon which much artistic discontent is set - with a few laughs thrown in!

Double Bill of Evening Shows:
WORLD ON FIRE and HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: a Parable of War and Its Making November 4-14, Thurs.-Sun., 8pm (first week); Wed.-Sun., 8pm (second week) $10 general admission for both shows [groups of 10 or more $8]; held at the Cambridge Family YMCA

November 9-21, gallery hours, 9am-8 pm daily; opening reception and artist's talk, Tuesday, November 9, 4-7pm free and open to all; held at the Marran Gallery, Lesley University

Featuring the Bread and Puppet Theater's signature masked characters and giant papier-mache puppets, the individual shows and art exhibit are described below.

WORLD ON FIRE
A group of National Emergency Clowns demonstrates official reactions to the ultimate emergency. The music is by the Asymmetric Prisoner-of-War Orchestra, consisting of local volunteer performers, and their conductor, the Fire Chief.
HOW TO TURN DISTRESS INTO SUCCESS: A Parable of War and Its Making
With the help of the National More-More-More Society, the Student of Success is taught a lesson: how the transformation of distress into success transforms success. The Population is a child in the arms of Truth. But Truth gets employed by the Executive to ready the Population for war. War is learned in a butcher's shop. The dance of the Collateral Damage Dancers concludes the lesson. The puppets are from cardboard; the music is live and includes an ancient Georgian chant.
UPSIDE DOWN WORLD CIRCUS
The circus features upside-down figures, a group of First World representatives trained by a lion, Thomas Jefferson and his patriotic cheerleaders, Gerrard Winstanley and his band of Diggers, the Rotten Idea Theater Company's distillation of political issues and much more, all accompanied by the B&P Circus Band. Political fun for the whole family!
THE U.S. SENATE READS AN EMAIL BY THE LATE RACHEL CORRIE TO HER PARENTS
Peter Schumann dedicates this installation to Rachel Corrie who died at the age of 23 in Palestine in 2003 as she tried to stop a bulldozer from destroying a Palestinian home. Her email is dated February 27, 2003.

(Background of the theater) The Bread and Puppet Theater was founded in 1963 on New York City's Lower Eastside by 70-year old Silesian-born sculptor and choreographer, Peter Schumann. In 1969 a nine-month tour of Europe won recognition and critical acclaim for Bread and Puppet. In 1970, the Theater moved to Vermont as theater-in-residence at Goddard College, letting itself be influenced by living in the countryside. Four years later the Theater moved to a farm in Glover in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, where a 100-year-old hay barn was transformed into a museum for veteran puppets. Bread and Puppet Theater does massive spectacles in the U.S., Europe and Latin America. Their pageants have a broad theme-oriented appeal to large non-elite audiences. They address social, political and environmental issues or simply the common urgencies of our lives. Some of the awards received by Peter Schumann and Bread and Puppet are the Obie Award, the Erasmus Award from Amsterdam, the Vermont Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, UNIMA-USA's Citation of Excellence and the Puppeteers of America President's Award. Bread and Puppet is one of the oldest non-profit, self-supporting theater companies in the United States.

Were do we go from here? Post Election Political Analysis with author Paul Aaron

The election is over. We have work to do. The goal of this discussion is to encourage the Democratic process, and to get people thinking about how their actions will effect the next election. Aaron will read from his book, �Bush Doubles Oil Price and other stories, fact and fiction� as well as from new pieces. Questions and readings from the audience are encouraged.

"What ethical basis do we want for our government?" In �Bush Doubles Oil Price and other stories, fact and fiction� by Dr. Paul Aaron, his fictional president states, "No lie is immoral if it brings us to follow what we are
instructed by God." Wars and genocide start with those kinds of words. No more grave than our newspaper headlines, this fictional character's words are deadly.

Actes pel segon aniversari de l'enfonsament del ‘Prestige’

Projecció del documental "Prestige. El viaje a ninguna parte", de Jan Codina Satorras.

Ja fa dos anys que una gestió política temerària i irresponsable va multiplicar la crisi del Prestige amb unes conseqüències a llarg termini més enllà del que avui sóm capaços de copsar. Fa uns mesos hem canviat de govern, i s'han atès algunes de les demandes de la societat civil, com la retirada de les tropes de l'Iraq o l'aturada del transvassament de l'Ebre. En canvi, encara esperem que es depurin les responsabilitats dels veritables causants de la catàtrofe del Prestige i s'abandoni l'assetjament legal cap al capità del vaixell, cap de turc d'una crisi de la que no n'és responsable.

Però, per sobre de tot, s'han de prendre mesures per evitar un altre accident. Res no ha canviat. No s'han fet estudis oficials honestos sobre les conseqüencies a la salut, als recursos naturals i a l'economia de les zones afectades. No s'han analitzat les causes reals de l'accident. I no hi ha mesures preventives vigents. Mentre els nostres responsables polítics romanen plegats de braços, viure un altre accident a les costes gallegues només és qüestió de temps. Així ho demostra la negra experiència dels darrers anys: 'Polycommander' (1970), 'Erkowit' (1973), 'Urquiola' (1976), 'Andros Patria' (1979), 'Casón' (1987), 'Mar Egeo' (1992) i 'Prestige' (2002). El crit de Nunca Máis segueix, doncs, tan vigent com el primer dia.

En aquests últims mesos, a la Plataforma Nunca Máis de Catalunya hem treballat per oferir contrainformació de qualitat, amb la distribució del llibre "Prestige, de l'accident a la catàstrofe" i el reportatge "Prestige, el viaje a ninguna parte", on experts aporten la seva visió sobre l'accident i les seves conseqüències. També podeu visitar l'exposició fotogràfica itinerant "Costa da morte, abril 2004. La petjada del Prestige 500 dies després" o consultar el dossier de premsa constantment actualitzat a la nostra web.

Ara, amb motiu del segon aniversari de l'enfonsament del petrolier, us convidem a unes jornades per seguir el pols a un problema no resolt.

•National media reviews on the Tibetan Photo Project
“REWARDING”
-Parade Magazine
Seen by 16 million readers, resulting in 40,000 hits to
www.tibetanphotoproject.com

“Their work precisely captures with insight and enthusiasm the life of exiled Tibetans.”
-Bobbie Liegh, Art & Antiques Magazine

•Regional Reviews
"Audiences leave seeing China's treatment of Tibet as a microcosm of how the communist country deals with the world." -The Slice, Colorado Springs

"Tibetan Photo Project is a magic view into a world no Westerner has seen. These unique photographs were created by Tibetan Monks themselves and give voice to their story and culture."
-Scribe, UCCS student newspaper

"Insightful...touching." -GO!

" The photos Mickey got in return document a way of life threatened with disappearance."
- Art Critic Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle, Art Notes - Feb. 2002

"We believe that this kind of activity will increase education and awareness about Tibet. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is pleased to learn about this and fully supports Joe Mickey's project."
-Tenzin Geyche, Secretary to his Holiness the Dalai Lama


"Since 1949, all but 13 of an estimated 6,000 monasteries have been destroyed by the Chinese government. Adding to the desperation is the fact that China's new president, Hu Jintao, is the former Party Secretary of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and was known to be ruthless in his dealings with the Tibetan people." - Noel Black, Colorado Springs Independent

"The Tibetan Photo Project delivers."
-Norman Shoaf, City Editor, Antelope Valley Press/Weekend Showcase section

•Linked by Africa & Asia studies, University of London•
•Linked by the University of Virginia•

The Tibetan Photo Project offers the first photos taken by Tibetan monks living in exile, images of the Dalai Lama, informational texts and rare 1932 pictures of Tibet.

The perspective provided from the modern history of Tibet and China reveals a great deal about the nature of China's future leadership. The lessons have become even more relevant with the rise to power by Hu Jintao, China's former hard-line secretary to Tibet.

Geoffrey Stone, Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime

Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime from the Sedition Act of 1798 to the War on Terrorism

This necessary and timely book investigates how the First Amendment and other civil liberties have been compromised in America during wartime. Stone focuses on six periods beginning with the Sedition Act of 1798 and ending with an examination of the state of civil liberties in the Bush era. With a dramatic cast of characters including presidents, Supreme Court justices, and resisters, and filled with rare photographs and posters, this work is resonant in its call for a new approach in our response to grave crises.

Chuck D at the Rio

Chuck D
Thursday, November 18, 2004 @ 8pm
Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave.



Best known as leader and co-founder of the legendary rap group Public Enemy, Chuck D redefined rap music and Hip Hop culture with the release of Public Enemy's explosive 1987 debut album, Yo! Bum Rush the Show. His messages addressed weighty issues about race, rap, rage, reality and inequality with a jolting combination of intelligence and eloquence. The group became so popular and well respected it was included in the New York Times' list of The 25 Most Significant Albums of the Last Century. In 1999 Chuck D launched Rapstation.com, a multi-format "supersite" boasting a TV and radio station with original programming, a slew of Hip Hop's most prominent DJs, celebrity interviews, free MP3 downloads, social commentary and features dedicated to supporting rap artists. Most recently, Chuck D has emerged as a major proponent and the unofficial spokesperson of music on the Internet and he co-hosts the morning show Unfiltered on the newly launched network Air America Radio. Chuck D will speak on a range of current topics.

Feral Visions

Feral Visions - A Slideshow about rewilding, radical homesteading, and realizing our wildest dreams!
The goal of our tour is to inspire and empower participants to break down the layers of alienation at work in our lives that keep us dependent on complex industrial and social systems. By showing examples of people attempting to live outside of these systems, we hope to plant seeds of rebellious renewal. Within civilization the ways that we feed, clothe, warm, transport, house, and learn are highly mediated by industrial technology, global capitalism, and political institutions. This mediation separates us from the source of our very survival, and creates the illusion that we cannot live apart from civilization's institutions. Many are coming to believe that in order to live an ethical and fulfilling life we must subvert the inefficient and exploitative paths that lie between society and the physical world that surrounds us, and embrace more direct means of existence.
