Ancient Looms, Modern Threads
Contemporary Handwoven Garments from Oaxaca, Mexico

Exhibition runs Saturday, May 21 - Saturday, August 13, 2016
Community celebration: Saturday, July 30, times to be announced
Ruth Davis Design Gallery, Nancy Nicolas Hall (SOHE)
 
This exhibition of handwoven garments from the Mexican state of Oaxaca explains the evolution of a traditional woman's garment called a huipil (pronounced wee-PEAL).  Masters of Science Candidate (and LACIS' Lunchtime Lecturer!) Carolyn Jenkinson traces the history of this ancient garment from its traditional function and aesthetic to its contemporary form. The exhibit demonstrates how indigenous women today continue to weave huipiles on the backstrap loom and are reframing clothing as a objects of creative expression and economic necessity. Learn how these garments are constructed and how they have changed over time to include new materials, new designs, and new audiences.

Community celebration: July 30 - Please join us on the lawn of Nancy Nicholas Hall for a Oaxacan-style community celebration!
View the exhibition, listen to regional music, eat traditional Oaxacan foods, drink chocolate from native plants, and try your hand at weaving on a backstrap loom. Weaving demonstrations and other activities available for all ages in addition to the opportunity to purchase a handmade huipil of your own. Sample blouses produced by artisan weavers will be available to order on this day through the Wisconsin Without Borders Marketplace.  100% of the proceeds from these sales will support weavers and increase economic stability in their  communities.

Special tours for public groups and summer camps welcome! Contact Lee Gray ([email protected]) to schedule an appointment.

The exhibition is supported, in part, by the Design Studies Departmental Thesis Award, the School of Human Ecology Graduate Student MS Thesis Award, and the Latin American, Caribbean and Iberian Studies Program.

2016 Annual Colombia Support Network National Meeting! 

This is a significant time in Colombia. Peace Talks between the Colombian Government and the FARC guerrillas appear to be nearing conclusion, with the prospect of an end to the armed conflict between guerrilla forces and the Colombian military. The ELN guerrillas have not yet entered formal peace discussions with the Santos Administration, but there is hope they will do so in the near future. Of course, the end of the guerrilla insurgencies does not mean that peace with justice will necessarily follow. The Santos government has in its National Development Plan proposed a model based upon mining and oil-drilling concessions to transnational corporations and large-scale agricultural development which do not represent the interests of the rural communities with which we have collaborated in our sister community program. And the introduction of a development strategy known as ZIDRES portends an attack upon the long-recognized rights of campesinos to untitled lands known as baldios, especially in the Eastern Plains area. In addition, the Santos Administration has expanded the riot police, the ESMAD (Escuadrones Moviles Anti-Disturbios), to discourage grass-roots organizations' protests of government policies which harm them and of the continued paramilitary activity threatening them. We plan to discuss these issues in detail.

President Santos came to Washington a few days ago to "celebrate" with President Obama the15-year anniversary of Plan Colombia and to launch a continued collaboration program which they called "Paz Colombia". We will have a presentation looking at the results of Plan Colombia and what the U.S. role, reflected in more than $10 billion dollars provided to Colombia, has been and will likely be in the future.
We anticipate having Carmenza Tez, the tireless Kamentsa indigenous leader from Sibundoy, Putumayo, at our Conference to bring us up to date on the valiant efforts of her community to protect their lands and traditions from threats by multinational mining interests and construction of a Trans-Amazon highway through their sacred lands. Carmenza's activities are discussed in our Spring Newsletter. There is also discussion in the Newsletter of the Carol Chomsky Forest initiative in the municipality of La Vega in Cauca Department, which we will also discuss at the National Meeting.

A CSN delegation will visit the Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado and Bogota on April 16-24, and we will also review our delegation experiences at the National Meeting.
We look forward to seeing you and sharing with you experiences and viewpoints on CSN's role and the projects we have been involved in during the past year. We hope to welcome you to Madison on June 3 and 4.
 
We hope you can join us for our national meeting on June 3rd and 4th at Edgewood College. Please let us know if you are interested and call us at (608) 257 8753 or email us at [email protected], or[email protected]. We will send you and application form.

LACIS is pleased to provide co-sponsorship for this event!

FORWARD 2016
Building the Social Justice University 

Camp Upham Woods
(Near Wisconsin Dells)

Forward 2016 is a gathering for community activists, students, and educators to come together for a weekend of intensive training blended with freewheeling discussion and relaxation. In keeping with the Wisconsin Idea, its central goal is to provide participants the opportunity to build relationships, strengthen networks, and develop visions and strategies for progressive change on campus and within the broader community. 
 
This year's theme is "Building the Social Justice University." It's no secret that universities don't live up to their potential as resources for social justice. How can students and educators become more relevant for social justice both on and off campus? This gathering is an opportunity to address this question directly. In particular, it will focus on 3 general themes: The Workplace of Higher Education, Social Justice Research, and Campus-Community Organizing. We are looking for proposals of discussions that would fit under these three themes, broadly defined.
 
This is a participant driven forum that builds on three decades of RadFest gatherings hosted by the Havens Center. Join us June 3-5 at Upham Woods, a beautiful retreat center located on the Wisconsin River just north of the Dells. There will be time for hiking, canoeing, bonfires and music, along with free childcare and a children's program.
 
We hope you will contribute to making Forward 2016 an exciting and productive event. The cost of the gathering, including lodging and meals, is very modest and determined by ability to pay.

Stay tuned to the Havens Center website for registration information!

For more information, or to propose a session, contact Patrick Barrett at [email protected] or call 608-262-0854

Friday, July 29th - Sunday, July 31st

Relief efforts for Ecuador!!
Dear friends,
 
A devastating earthquake of 7.8 magnitude struck Ecuador's coast this past Saturday evening.  The death toll has surpassed 500 people and several thousands of people are injured, missing or struggling to find shelter. Rescue teams are actively looking for survivors and victims caught in the rubble, and many coastal towns are completely destroyed and disconnected from all services.
 
If you can, please consider donating to the rescue and relief efforts. Every little bit helps.
 
There are many ways to do so:

You can do so through the Ecuadorian Red Cross, or if you prefer to make a more direct impact through local, smaller non-profits, here are several options. If you prefer to donate to a local nonprofit situated in Ecuador with direct ties to the UW-Madison community, consider donating to the Ceiba Foundation - they are coordinating relief efforts to help with the recovery of the small communities on the coast that they have historically worked with.
 
Again, every penny helps. These funds will help bring food, water, shelter, diapers, medicine, hygiene products and other relief to people whose lives were literally uprooted overnight.
 
Thank you! Also, please share this message as you see fit.

Get Involved with Colombia Support Network! 
Want to get more involved with international advocacy on the UW-Madison campus?

Colombia Support Network-UW Badgers serves to bring awareness on the UW campus about the human rights atrocities occurring in Colombia, encouraging UW students to become educated and engaged in the CSN solidarity mission through volunteering, spreading our peaceful mission, and sending student delegations to peace communities in Colombia.

The Colombia Support Network wascreated in 1989 to provide support to Colombian communities and organizations in areas of conflict which seek to construct a just social and economic order using non-violence means. There are more than 6 million displaced persons in Colombia, and more than 31,000 persons have "disappeared" since 1990s. Peaceful civilians have faced attacks from rebel groups such as the FARC, as well as paramilitary forces which are indirectly - and sometimes directly - aided by a government which serves to protect solely the interests of the wealthy. This March, important peace talks between the Colombian government and FARC forces are likely to reach a deal, making the current issues in Colombia especially relevant.

Engagement with CSN-UW Badgers can be as simple as liking our facebook page [Colombia Support Network -UWBadgers, and considering attending future CSN events, such as movie series or speakers!  We're also looking for new leaders who are passionate about human rights and might one day go on a delegation to Colombia with CSN.

For more information on the Colombian peace process, you should find this website very helpful: www.peaceinsider.com
