March 29, Buffalo,
This is Not Living,
8:00 PM at Hallwalls. Film showing and fundraiser for
the Institute of Research and Education on Women & Gender. Hallwalls
Contemporary Arts Center, TriMain Building, 2495 Main Street, Suite 425.
Doors open at 6:00 PM, screening at
8:00 PM. $10 at the door. Director: Alia Arasoughly
Country: Palestine, Documentary Color, 2001, 42 minutes. Exploring the
devastating effects of military occupation, terror and isolation, this
deeply moving piece explores the lives of eight Palestinian women and their
struggle to live normal lives amidst the degrading drama of war.
Representing a diverse cross-section of Palestinian society -- from a news
editor to a domestic worker to a housewife -- they candidly speak about
their daily encounters with violence and their marginalization in the
ideological debate concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Neither
political zealots nor submissive wives and mothers, they reveal the
difficult task of negotiating their identity during wartime and demonstrate
how the struggle for life and dignity is a universal one. Their stories
challenge stereotypes of Palestinian women in the media and provide a
much-needed widow into an experience rarely seen in the West.

http://www.lysistrataproject.org/ On Monday, March 3rd,
2003, theatre artists from around the planet will raise their collective
voice against Bush's war on Iraq by producing readings of the ancient Greek
anti-war comedy Lysistrata. This act of theatrical dissent will raise
awareness about the volume of war opposition around the world, and raise
money for organizations working for peace and human rights. To date,
there are over 392 readings scheduled in 32 countries around the world --
all to occur on March 3rd. Every American state is represented in the
project, and more readings are rolling in every day. Lysistrata
Project was interviewed on NPR's All Things Considered on January 16th (10
days after Kathryn Blume and Sharron Bower came up with the idea), and
support from around the world rushed in.
