Prison Heritage and the Difficult Past: the Maze/Long Kesh site in Northern Ireland
a talk by Dr. Kate Flynn Senior Fellow, Center for Civic Engagement, Bard College
Tuesday, March 1, 2016
6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 102The former Maze Prison or Long Kesh is one the most emblematic sites associated with the violence of the Troubles. Since the prison’s closure in 2000, plans for redevelopment have been highly controversial, at times acrimoniously argued, and long delayed. Today the Maze/ Long Kesh is a defining example of the struggle over not just the use of heritage but, more broadly, public assets in post-conflict Northern Ireland.
*****
Dr Kate Flynn has expertise in critical peacebuilding, contested heritage, ethnic conflict, and public policy in divided societies. She has worked at universities in Israel, Ukraine, South Africa and the UK, carried out fieldwork in Northern Ireland, Cyprus and Spain, and undertaken working visits to Colombia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. She led a EuropeAid project on reconciliation in Cyprus (2010-12) and headed another project, funded by the UK’s Nuffield Foundation, on heritage and urban regeneration in South African and Northern Ireland with specific reference to prisons (2007-8). Her DPhil in Politics is from Oxford, and double BA in Political Science/International Relations and English Literature from UC Berkeley.Sponsored by: Center for Civic Engagement; Human Rights Project; Irish and Celtic Studies (ICS) Program.

Les philosophes sont-ils des écrivains?
A lecture in French by Bruno Clément (Paris)
Wednesday, March 2, 2016
6 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Room 102“Lorsqu'on rapproche littérature et philosophie, on tente généralement de montrer que les grandes questions de la philosophie (Dieu, l'amour, la nature, le travail, la société, l'art, etc.) ne sont pas étrangères à la littérature, qui, comme elle, se soucie de vérité, d'éthique, de sagesse. Bref, on s'efforce de montrer que la littérature pense elle aussi. On ajoute seulement qu'elle le fait par ses moyens propres (la fiction, la beauté formelle) - des moyens qu'elle est d'ailleurs censée adapter à son propos.
J'aimerais quant à moi suggérer qu'on peut adopter une position pour ainsi dire symétrique. Et avancer que comme la littérature, la philosophie a le souci de la forme, que le philosophe adopte le genre (traité, poème, essai, dialogues, aphorismes, récit autobiographique même) le plus approprié à son entreprise - et même, pourquoi pas? qu'il est sans doute impossible d'évaluer le propos, voire la pertinence d'une œuvre philosophique sans prendre en compte la forme d'expression pour laquelle elle a opté.
Cette question de l'adéquation de la forme et du fond est l'une seulement de celles, nombreuses, qu'il faudrait se poser si l'on décidait de considérer le philosophe comme un écrivain.”
Bruno CLÉMENT teaches literature and philosophy at Paris-8, where he is professeur des universités. He also was president of the Collège international de Philosophie between 2004 and 2007. He is the author of several important books, such as L’Œuvre sans qualités: Rhétorique de Samuel Beckett (1989), Le lecteur et son modèle (1999), L’Invention du commentaire (2000), Le récit de la méthode (2005), Emmanuel Levinas et les territoires de la pensée (with D. Cohen-Levinas, 2007), and La voix verticale (2013).

Description:
Issues concerning the possibility of afterlife have provoked perennial controversy, especially since the Enlightenment. Because Jesus is the most famous case of t he claim that a person rose from the dead, partisans ahve drawn up sides between those who insist his Resurrection was physical and those who argue it was an hallucinogenic metaphor. Most of that discussion will reverse that approach, and develop a properly exegetical understanding of how the Resurrection was experienced and interpreted before asking whether it might attract belief.
All lecutures in the series are sponsonsor by the Bard College Insititute of Advanced Theology, and are free and open to the public. The presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m. followed by a question and answer period. Lunch is offered at noon in the fellowship hall of the Church of St. John the Evangelist at a cost of $7.00.

Joyce Dalsheim: Cultural Anthropologist Researching Nationalism, Religion, and the Israel/Palestine Conflict
On Goat Surveillance and the False Promises of Sovereignty
Tuesday, March 8, 2016
1:30–3 pm
Arendt CenterPlease join us for a Lunchtime Talk with Joyce Dalsheim on Tuesday, March, at 1:30 pm at the Hannah Arendt Center, Seminar Room (first floor).
Sponsored by: The Hannah Arendt Center, Human Rights Project, Jewish Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies
On Goat Surveillance and the False Promises of Sovereignty: In her critique of the Rights of Man, Hannah Arendt analyzed the problem of the “abstract” human being who was nowhere to be found. If Arendt’s political analyses stemmed from her grappling with the Jewish Question and the problems of minorities or stateless people, this talk takes a different turn. Rather than considering the outcomes of the Rights of Man for subaltern groups or refugees, this talk follows the transformation of the Jewish Question when Jews themselves are no longer a minority, but sovereign citizens in their own ethno-national state. It considers some of the many ways in which Israeli Jews struggle to be Jewish—from conversion and keeping kosher to the everyday surveillance of goats—suggesting that popular sovereignty might not be liberating in the ways we imagine.
BIO: Joyce Dalsheim is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Global, International and Area Studies at UNC-Charlotte. She is a cultural anthropologist who studies nationalism, religion and the secular, and conflict in Israel/Palestine. She earned her her doctorate from the New School for Social Research, and has taught at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and Wake Forest University. In 2005, she held the Rockefeller Fellowship at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
Dalsheim’s first book, Unsettling Gaza: Secular Liberalism, Radical Religion, and the Israeli Settlement Project (Oxford 2011), is an ethnographic study that takes a ground-breaking approach to one of the most contentious issues in the Middle East: the Israeli settlement project. Her second book, Producing Spoilers: Peacemaking and Production of Enmity in a Secular Age, analyzes the ways in which peacemaking can actually work to produce enmity.

Toni Morrison described Primo Levi’s writing as a “triumph of human identity and worth over the pathology of human destruction.” Levi is the distinguished author of decisive books such as If This Is a Man, and The Periodic Table. For the first time the entire oeuvre of the most acclaimed Holocaust survivor is available in English, after a seven-year collective endeavor led by Ann Goldstein, New Yorker editor and celebrated translator of Elena Ferrante and Jhumpa Lahiri. Together with Goldstein, the event will feature Michael F. Moore, a most accomplished translator from Italian and UN interpreter.

A Reading by John Keene
Thursday, March 10, 2016
6–7 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaThe celebrated and award-winning author of books including Annotations and, most recently, Counternarratives reads from his work at 6:00 p.m. in Weis Cinema, Bertelsmann Campus Center, on Thursday, March 10th. Introduced by Mary Caponegro and followed by a Q&A, this event is free and open to the public; no tickets or reservations are required. Books will be available for sale and signing from Oblong Books & Music.
John R. Keene's Counternarratives, a collection of stories and novellas, draws upon memoirs, newspaper accounts, detective stories, interrogation transcripts, and speculative fiction to create new and strange perspectives on our past and present. "An Outtake" chronicles an escaped slave's take on liberty and the American Revolution. "The Strange History of Our Lady of the Sorrows" presents a bizarre series of events that unfold in a nineteenth-century Kentucky convent. "The Aeronauts" soars between bustling Philadelphia, still-rustic Washington, and the theater of the U.S. Civil War. In "Acrobatique," the subject of a famous Edgar Degas painting talks back. And the hotly debated, widely praised story "Rivers" presents a free Jim meeting up decades later with his former raftmate Huckleberry Finn.
PRAISE FOR Counternarratives—
"Keene exerts superb control over his stories, costuming them in the style of Jorge Luis Borges …Yet he preserves the undercurrent of excitement and pathos that accompanies his characters' persecution and their groping toward freedom." —Wall Street Journal
"An extraordinary work of literature. John Keene is a dense, intricate, and magnificent writer. " —Harper's
"Suspenseful, thought provoking, mystical, and haunting. Keene's confident writing doesn't aim for easy description or evaluation; it approaches (and defies) literature on its own terms." —Publishers Weekly
"Only a few, John Keene among them, in our age, authentically test the physics of fiction as both provocation and mastery. Continuing what reads like the story collection as freedom project, in Counternarratives, Keene opens swaths of history for readers to more than imagine but to manifest and live in the passionate language of conjure and ritual." —Major Jackson
"Keene finds inspiration in newspaper clippings, memoirs, and history, and anchors them in the eternal, universal, and mystical." —Vanity Fair
"John Keene undertakes a kind of literary counterarchaeology, a series of fictions that challenge our notion of what constitutes 'real' or 'accurate' history. His writing is at turns playful and erudite, lyric and coldly diagnostic, but always completely absorbing. Counternarratives could easily be compared to Borges or Bolano, Calvino or Kiš, but at the same time it is a deeply American, resolutely contemporary book, that asks us to reconsider our own perspectives on the past―and the future." —Jess Row
"Of the scope of William T. Vollmann or Samuel R. Delany, but with a kaleidoscopic intuition all its own, Counternarratives is very easily one of the most vividly imagined and vitally timed books of the year. I haven't felt so refreshed in quite a while as a reader." —VICE
"Keene opens up the spaces between words and their objects, to create room where fresh meanings can play." —The Nation
"Queering the script, defying the imperative to be silent, does not require confidence or a vision of what progress means. It is, rather, in all its uncertainty and risk, the most basic stuff of―the very matter of―life. It is also the crowning achievement of one of the year's very best books." —The Quarterly Conversation
"Keene's collection of short and longer historical fictions are formally varied, mold-breaking, and deeply political. He's a radical artist working in the most conservative genres, and any search for innovation in this year's U.S. fiction should start here." —Vulture
"A series of stories in which religion and spirituality, art and language, violence and subjugation, homosexuality and eroticism, may shine through a panoply of voices." —Full Stop
"Practically every sentence in the book perforates, stretches out, or pries open literary modes designed to be airtight, restrictive, and racially exclusionary … An expert generator of suspense, Keene also turns out to be a skilled humorist, a mischievous ironist, a deft, seductive storyteller and a studied historian." —Bookforum
PRAISE FOR ANNOTATIONS—
"A dense, lyrically beautiful and highly experimental debut. Composed of short passages open to multiple interpretations, it defies easy description. Annotations could be described as a bildungsroman, as a collection of short recits by unnamed and undetermined narrators, an elegy to the rise and fall of Keene's native St. Louis, a meditation on the African American influence there and much, much more. Keene's masterful prose smoothly transgresses traditional lines of representation and description without ever seeming like an exercise in multi-thematic chaos. Annotations is an experimental work that pinpoints a new direction for literary fiction in the 21st century." —Publishers Weekly
"Keene's slim first novel appears to be a disguised autobiographical narrative whose power resides in formidable imagery and the virtuoso use of language. The plot, if there is one, concerns a young black man's coming of age from birth to college years. Along the way while commenting aphoristically, he encounters many characters with unique personal outlooks and participates in gay and straight sexual experiences that he seems to avoid as often as not. But one does not read this book for its story. In fact, it should be read twice: once to get an idea of events and a second time to savor its language and pounding images. Keene's artistry makes him a writer to watch." —Library JournalSponsored by: Written Arts Program.

Human Morality: Features and Bugs
Josh Greene,
Professor of Psychology, Harvard University
Thursday, March 10, 2016
6 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 AuditoriumI’ll provide a selective overview of human morality, drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy. First, there are two general kinds of moral problems: The original moral problem is the problem of cooperation, the “Tragedy of the Commons”—Me vs. Us. Distinctively modern moral problems are different. They involve what I call the “Tragedy of Commonsense Morality,” which is about conflicting values and interests across social groups—Us vs. Them. Second, there two general kinds of moral thinking: “fast” intuitive thinking that is efficient but inflexible, and “slow” moral reasoning that is flexible but inefficient. I’ll present evidence that "fast" thinking is good for solving basic moral problems, but that solving modern moral problems requires “slow” thinking. I’ll talk about how our emerging scientific understanding of human morality can help us make better decisions.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Eva Salina & Peter Stan:
Balkan Romani Songs
Thursday, March 10, 2016
7 pm
Bard HallEVA SALINA & PETER STAN.
Peter “Perica” Stan is a Serbian Romani accordionist known equally for his playfulness and innovation as he is for his undeniably soulful, intuitive improvisations.
A native of Santa Cruz, California, Eva Salina ranks among today’s preeminent interpreters of Balkan vocal music in the U.S. Her new album, Lema Lema: Eva Salina Sings Šaban Bajramović, released 2/11/16, is garnering well-deserved accolades from NPR, WNYC’s Soundcheck, and others. Together, Eva and Peter draw on a strong musical friendship, the diversity of their creative professional experiences, and their shared love of Balkan Romani music, creating a welcoming space where joy and sorrow seamlessly coexist. In their performance, mournful ballads nestle gently among songs of celebration. With voice and accordion, Eva and Peter effortlessly transcend genre in intimate, powerful performances that celebrate the complexity of life.

Friday, March 11, 2016
12:30–1:30 pm
Church of St. John the EvangelistThe Insitute of Advanced Theology offers the 2016 Lentent Lecture Series, Resurrection: the Case of Jesus," led by Bruce chilton. The series begins on Friday, February 19th and continues on February 26, March 4, March 11, and March 18. The 2016 Lenten Lecture Series will be held at the Chruch of St. John the Evangelist at 1114 River Road, Barrytown, NY, across the street from Montgomery Place.
Description:
Issues concerning the possibility of afterlife have provoked perennial controversy, especially since the Enlightenment. Because Jesus is the most famous case of t he claim that a person rose from the dead, partisans ahve drawn up sides between those who insist his Resurrection was physical and those who argue it was an hallucinogenic metaphor. Most of that discussion will reverse that approach, and develop a properly exegetical understanding of how the Resurrection was experienced and interpreted before asking whether it might attract belief.
All lecutures in the series are sponsonsor by the Bard College Insititute of Advanced Theology, and are free and open to the public. The presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m. followed by a question and answer period. Lunch is offered at noon in the fellowship hall of the Church of St. John the Evangelist at a cost of $7.00.

Documenting Jane Austen's Letters
A lecture by Professor Michael Gamer, Universityof Pennsylvania
Monday, March 14, 2016
4:45–6:15 pm
Fisher Center, Sosnoff TheaterJane Austen’s fiction is full of letters. Her first novels, in fact, began in epistolary form—but over a decade of revision meant they did not end this way. Those letters that remain in her novels are not just genuinely strange; they are constantly revisited objects to be interpreted and re-interpreted over time. Why didn’t Austen trust a purely documentary fiction? The answer to this question will tell us much about how she understood the function of documentary evidence, as well as shedding new light on the rhetorical strategies used by contemporary writers such as Olaudah Equiano and Mary Wollstonecraft.

Pascal Quignard and the Translation of His Hatred of Music
Monday, March 14, 2016
6:30 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium"Vocal cords, lyre string, bowstring are a single string: entrails or nerves of a dead animal that emit the invisible sound that kills from afar."
In 1994, Pascal Quignard, who had just begun to enjoy considerable popular success as a novelist after having previously published numerous, quite esoteric essays and fragmentary texts, abruptly decided to renounce all of his professional activities: he stepped down as secretary general of literature at the illustrious Gallimard publishing house; he canceled the annual International Festival of Baroque Opera and Theater at Versailles that he had founded only four years earlier under the aegis of François Mitterrand; he distanced himself from the Concert des nations, which he had directed with Jordi Savall since 1990. He would no longer decide which authors to publish; he would no longer choose which songs to play, which forgotten masterpieces to unearth. He would do nothing but write. The Hatred of Music, originally published two years later, is a book that results from this rupture, but the title must not be misinterpreted. Quignard hints at the genealogy of the project in the following succinct formulation: “The expression Hatred of Music is meant to convey to what point music can become an object of hatred to someone who once adored it beyond measure.”
Come join a panel of respected scholars and the translators of The Hatred of Music on the occasion of the publication of the English translation of the book to learn more about the work of one of France’s most esteemed contemporary writers.

Immersing Miami
Alexandra T. Vazquez, Associate Professor,
Department of Performance Studies, New York University
Tuesday, March 15, 2016
5–6:30 pm
RKC 103This talk involves a willful submerging into the performance ecologies of Miami, Florida. The city, too often made mere fulcrum for many a geopolitical before and after, holds rich and established resources for creative practices. Far beyond a cultural wasteland or cold war terminus, Miami's artists have long made things from vast distances, inside precarious currents, outside of their families. “Immersing Miami” is and isn’t about the city; it is an exercise on how to write through the intimacies of the local and out towards parallel gatherings. The talk specifically works with the 1998 “Speed Split” series by the Cuban born, Miami-based artist Consuelo Castañeda (b. 1958) as an opportunity to transpose an artist’s visual mode into a musical response to displacement and dispossession. Castañeda extends a call to listen on the insides of the alienating narratives that drown Miami and in doing so enables us to hear robust aesthetic histories everywhere else.
Alexandra T. Vazquez was born in Miami, Florida. She is Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University. Her book, Listening in Detail: Performances of Cuban Music (Duke University Press 2013), won the American Studies Association’s Lora Romero Book Prize in 2014. Vazquez’s work has been featured in the journals American Quarterly, Social Text, women and performance, and the Journal of Popular Music Studies, and in the edited volumes Reggaeton and Pop When the World Falls Apart.Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program; Ethnomusicology; LAIS Program; Literature Program.

National Climate Seminar: Interstate Cooperation and US Climate Policy
Dr. Dallas Burtraw, Senior Fellow, Resources for the Future
Wednesday, March 16, 2016
12–1 pm
Albee B102On March 16th, the Bard Center for Environmental Policy spoke with Dr. Dallas Burtraw, Senior Fellow, Resources for the Future. He discusses interstate cooperation on US Climate Policy and the fate of the EPA's Clean Power Plan. Dallas Burtraw is one of the nation’s foremost experts on environmental regulation in the electricity sector. For two decades, he has worked on creating a more efficient and politically rational method for controlling air pollution. He also studies electricity restructuring, competition, and economic deregulation. He is particularly interested in incentive-based approaches for environmental regulation, the most notable of which is a tradable permit system, and recently has studied ways to introduce greater cost-effectiveness into regulation under the Clean Air Act.
"Climate change is a global problem. The contribution of U.S. efforts are greater, in my mind, for the influence they have on the behavior of the other nations of the world than for the specific reductions that the U.S. achieves. The greater contribution is leadership in this case." Dallas Burtraw

"Resurrection: the Case of Jesus"
Friday, March 18, 2016
12:30–1:30 pm
Church of St. John the EvangelistThe Insitute of Advanced Theology offers the 2016 Lentent Lecture Series, Resurrection: the Case of Jesus," led by Bruce chilton. The series begins on Friday, February 19th and continues on February 26, March 4, March 11, and March 18. The 2016 Lenten Lecture Series will be held at the Chruch of St. John the Evangelist at 1114 River Road, Barrytown, NY, across the street from Montgomery Place.
Description:
Issues concerning the possibility of afterlife have provoked perennial controversy, especially since the Enlightenment. Because Jesus is the most famous case of t he claim that a person rose from the dead, partisans ahve drawn up sides between those who insist his Resurrection was physical and those who argue it was an hallucinogenic metaphor. Most of that discussion will reverse that approach, and develop a properly exegetical understanding of how the Resurrection was experienced and interpreted before asking whether it might attract belief.
All lecutures in the series are sponsonsor by the Bard College Insititute of Advanced Theology, and are free and open to the public. The presentation will begin at 12:30 p.m. followed by a question and answer period. Lunch is offered at noon in the fellowship hall of the Church of St. John the Evangelist at a cost of $7.00.

Improv Cubed: From Bach to the Great American Songbook
Saturday, March 19, 2016
8 pm
Fisher Center, LUMA TheaterWorld Premiere
Experience the secret past of improvisation from Bach to the Great American Songbook as classical pianist Tanya Gabrielian and jazz pianist Chris Pattishall join virtuoso André Mehmari on double piano in a musical journey spanning 300 years and layered with masterful improvisations.
History’s best composers were expected to churn out improvisational masterpieces with regularity, so why are our associations with improvisation so deeply tied to jazz, yet so little to the classic musical past? In this special concert, three pianists recreate the rich and hidden history of improvisation with variations on works by Bach, Scarlatti, Schubert, and music from ragtime, Brazilian choro, and the Great American Songbook.
Copresented by Catskill Jazz Factory.
Jazz at the Fisher Center is made possible by 23Arts Initiative.
Hear Tanya Gabrielian perform live in the studios of Montana Public Radio.
Watch Chris Pattishall play "We'll Be Together Again" at Cornelia Street Café.
Listen to André Mehmari play his version of Brazilian jazz classic "Berimbau."

Sergei Eistenstein's Battleship Potemkin
Introduction by Professor Richard Suchenski
Monday, March 28, 2016
4:45–6:15 pm
Fisher Center, Sosnoff TheaterThe 1905 mutiny on board the Battleship Potemkin is regarded as one of the key events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution. Sergei Eisenstein’s 1925 masterful portrayal of the mutiny has remained one of the most influential silent films for almost a century.
Professor Suchenski’s pre-screening talk will address the principles and development of cinematic montage, the revitalization of tradition within modernist artistic practice, and the relationship between art and politics.
Richard I. Suchenski is the Founder and Director of the Center for Moving Image Arts (CMIA) and Assistant Professor of Film and Electronic Arts at Bard College.

National Climate Seminar: The Power Dialog - National Update
Eban Goodstein, Director, The Bard Center for Environmental Policy
Wednesday, March 30, 2016
12–1 pm
Albee B102On March 30th, Eban Goodstein, Director of The Bard Center for Environmental Policy gave a national update on The Power Dialog.
The week of April 4th, Power Dialog conversations will be live in some 20 state capitols. Tune in to hear reports from the field about these upcoming events, and join a conversation about the challenges and rewards of engaging students in direct dialog with policy makers about global warming solutions.
According to Eban Goodstein Director of The Bard Center for Environmental Policy, "With the action now beyond the partisan wrangling of Washington and the state legislatures, students can gain both a powerful learning opportunity and a real voice in the policy process. The Power Dialog is not a lobbying effort. We have no collective policy agenda for which we are advocating. Rather it is a learning opportunity for students, and also a chance for students to share their own individual thoughts and policy insights."
Watch the archived webinar here.

Learning from the West African Ebola Epidemic: The Role of Governance in Preventing Epidemics
Thursday, March 31, 2016
10 am – 5:30 pm
Carnegie Council for Ethics In International Affairs, NYC“Learning From the West African Ebola Epidemic” is a one-day conference in New York City exploring the hypothesis that building public trust in effective organizations is essential for fighting health crises such as Ebola. The conference is grounded in the Global Health Security Agenda that seeks to accelerate progress towards a world safe from infectious disease. Specifically, the Global Health Security Agenda seeks to:
- Prevent avoidable epidemics;
- Detect threats early; and
- Respond rapidly and effectively.
The one-day conference will take place on Thursday, March 31st at the Carnegie Council in New York City 170 E 64th St, New York, NY 10065. The conference will bring together academics, government officials, scientists, activists, and philanthropists concerned about global health and international development.
The Hannah Arendt Center’s mission is to encourage debate about contemporary ethical and political questions in the spirit of Hannah Arendt. Arendt worried that the greatest threat to American freedom was the rise of a technocratic bureaucracy that replaced thinking with calculation and inured government from its need to be responsible to the people. To combat the increasing sense of alienation and impotence in modern politics, Arendt argued that people must think for themselves and act freely in public.
The Carnegie Council is a forum for the world's leading thinkers, experts and decision makers. Each year, the Council convenes more than 80 public events. Through lectures, workshops, panel discussions, conferences, interviews, articles, and a wealth of free multimedia online resources, the Council has earned a reputation as an honest, objective voice for ethics in international affairs.
Date: Thursday, March 31, 2016.
Schedule: 10am-6pm (See schedule tab)
Location: Carnegie Council for Ehics & International Affairs, NYC.

Tibet in Song
Film Screening and Q&A with director Ngawang Choephel
Thursday, March 31, 2016
7–9 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 102Screening of Tibet in Song
followed by Q&A with director Ngawang Choephel
Tibet in Song is an unforgettable look at one man's struggle to preserve Tibetan music, culture and national identity. Using rarely seen performances against the backdrop of Tibet's delicate history with China, director Ngawang Choephel tells a harrowing story of beauty, pain, brutality and resilience. Leaving Tibet after the Chinese invasion of 1950, Choephel was raised in India, where he was surrounded by fellow Tibetan refuges who instilled in him a love for traditional music. In 1995, nearly forty years after he first left Tibet, he returned to his homeland as a musicologist, hoping to record what remained of Tibetan folk music. A riveting look at Tibet's unique and vibrant heritage through the eyes of a talented and determined musicologist and filmmaker, this poignant film serves as a celebration of folk music and the generation of Tibetan people challenging cultural domination.
Note also this follow-up event the next day:

While recording and filming there, he was arrested, held, tried, convicted of espionage and sentenced to 18 years in prison. Thanks to the intercession of Amnesty International and individuals around the world, Ngawang was released after six and a half years. The recordings, and his experiences after the arrest, became his acclaimed film, Tibet In Song. Ngawang's presentation will include translations of the songs and accompaniment with the dranyen, a traditional string instrument.Sponsored by: Asian Studies Program; Chaplaincy; Human Rights Program; Music Program.
