Nov 28, 2009: The Maiden Voyages Project: the Diaries of Five Women at Amy E Tarrant Gallery

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:46:16 -0700

An Exhibition of Visual Blogs by Valerie HirdThe Maiden Voyages Project is the translation from text to images of the diaries of five women: four from the Middle EastIran, Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian West Bankand the artist herself, an American from Vermont. On the same day, once a month for one full year, each woman kept a detailed journal of her day. The diaries, all illustrated by Valerie Hird, are intended to make the lives of real women of varying cultures and backgrounds more accessible. To Americans inured to the incessant media reportage of war, Maiden Voyages reduces the overwhelming issues of religion, cultural difference, and politics to a more human and intimate scale. The project moves beyond conflict-based vocabulary and allows individuals to interact on a personal level. Many of the illustrations are dedicated to the mendacity of work, home, and familythe most accessible aspects of daily life, yet the least understood in our exposure to other cultures. Although the site is bi-lingual (Arabic/English), the illustrations have very little text, thus minimizing the issues surrounding translation.

Nov 22, 2009: You Cant Take It With You at UVM Department of Theater

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:02:48 -0700

You Cant Take It With You At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before you realize that if they are mad, then the rest of the world is madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. Tony, the attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore house on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores find it hard to realize Alice's view. Tony knows the Sycamores live the right way with love and care for each other, while his own family is the one that's crazy. In the end, Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores particularly since he happens in during a visit by the ex-Grand Duchess of Russia, Olga Katrina, who is currently earning her living as a waitress. by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman Directed Sarah E.
