Tibetan Children...

                       

Shocking new information has come to light that as many as one million Tibetan children & youth – as young as 6 years old – are being held in China's colonial boarding schools, removed from their parents, families, culture, and religion, and faced with intense political indoctrination.

Please take action to demand Chinese leaders stop the use of colonial boarding schools in occupied Tibet.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

Tibet Action Institute's report shares heartbreaking stories from survivors and witnesses about the brutal impact of China's colonial boarding schools.

One anonymous witness told them, "I know of children aged four to five who don’t want to be separated from their mothers. They are forced to go to boarding schools. In some cases, the children cry for days, sticking to their mother’s laps, begging not to be sent away."

This spine-chilling practice is similar to historic residential schools for indigenous children in Canada, the US, and Australia that aimed to destroy their indigenous language, culture, and identity. We can’t let this happen again.

Please take a few minutes to email China’s Vice Premier and Minister of Education to demand this practice is stopped?

We're now developing plans and resources for Tibet groups to build more urgent action about China's colonial boarding schools to ensure Tibetan children are not forgotten.

Thanks for all that you do to support Tibet.

Mandie, Lobsang, Pema, Terluz and the team at Tibet Network

TAKE ACTION NOW!

The high court in the UK overturned a ruling earlier this year and judged in favor of the US in appeal to extradite Julian Assange. Since 2012 he has lived under asylum and imprisonment, and his health has deteriorated. He suffered a stroke in prison and would not be able to survive the conditions he would be held under if sentenced to 175 years in prison in the US.

Today, freedom of press is under attack and journalists’ safety is at stake, as the powerholders circle and suppress those who provide real information in defense of social justice. Assange represents the fairness of press, which is the most important foundation to guarantee the development of a healthy society. It is only with this foundation that we can measure human rights in a society. Without freedom of press, the entire society’s human rights will be damaged.

In October 2016 Julian Assange gave me a treadmill as a present when he was at the Embassy of Ecuador in London. Today I decided to make a video of myself running on the treadmill and would like to call for everyone’s involvement through uploading short videos of running on a treadmill on the Internet. With this performance, we can show our concern with human rights and freedom of press, as well as our pursuit of social justice. Please upload your videos with #RunForOurRights and #Treadmill.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Today is Sunday. 

Three Sundays ago in New York, members of the Broadway theatre community gathered in tribute to Stephen Sondheim.

Together they sang 'Sunday' from 'Sunday in the Park with George.'

ALL

Sunday,
By the blue, 

Purple, yellow, red water
On the green, 

Purple, yellow, red grass
Let us pass
Through our perfect park,

Pausing on a Sunday
By the cool, 

Blue, triangular water
On the soft, 

Green, elliptical grass
As we pass 

Through arrangements of shadows
Towards the verticals of trees

Forever ...

By the blue

Purple, yellow, red water
On the green

Orange violet mass
Of the grass
In our perfect park,

Made of flecks of light
And dark,

And parasols ...

GEORGE

(Hums as he works)
Bumbum bum bumbumbum
Bumbum bum ...

ALL
People strolling through the trees
Of a small suburban park
On an island in the river
On an ordinary Sunday
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Below, Lin-Manuel Miranda reads from 'Look, I made a hat : Collected Lyrics (1981-2011)'.

"This is the only lyric I've written that consists of one long incomplete sentence. I wanted it to be like the descriptive caption you might read in a museum next to the painting."

- Stephen Sondheim

Another giant tree falls in the forest : Vale Alvin Lucier (1931 - 2021)

"I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have."

- Alvin Lucier 1969

Vale Lawrence Weiner (1942 - 2021)

 MEMORY OF A SMILE 

 EXCHANGED 

 Sydney 1990 

OUT OF SIGHT is an interactive 'sculpture' by internationally recognized American conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner. The OUT OF SIGHT marelle (or hopscotch in French) is a curved structure that suggests a fluid and engaged journey of forward motion for participants.

Participants are encouraged to move along the OUT OF SIGHT pathway and activate the ideas within OUT OF SIGHT in their own expressive way. The core OUT OF SIGHT phrases are:
  - ASSUMING A POSITION
  - PRESUME A DESTINATION &
  - ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE POWERS THAT BE
  - & IMAGINED THINGS CAN BE ALTERED TO SUIT
  - SPIT INTO THE WIND HOPE FOR THE BEST
  - THE DESTINATION IS STRAIGHT ON
  - OUT OF SIGHT

Materials will be provided to encourage viewers to consider further these playful statements in the context of their own lives. OUT OF SIGHT is not only a work of art but also acts as a metaphorical framework for the journey of self-discovery and empowerment, enlivening the experience of anyone who encounters it.

OUT OF SIGHT is an artwork that celebrates the potential within all of us to connect with ourselves and with other in a process of shared exploration.
