This exhibit will take place in 102 Suzzallo Library. The exhibition will focus on four major forms of performed North Indian folk art that capture the intersection of ritual, performance and art in the living traditions of North India. The art forms include: (1) terracotta and brass (cire perdue) sculptures that represent the deities and serve as offerings to them; (2) pata, storytelling scrolls made and performed in West Bengal; (3) women's paintings from the Mithala region of Bihar, which create auspiciousness for their life cycle rituals and tell the stories of the gods and goddesses that enliven lives there; (4) Rajasthani par, or large scrolls which are used by singers to tell epic stories in the western state of Rajasthan. cosponsored by the Libraries and the South Asia Center. January 9 The Attack on Immigrants and Civil Rights Post-9/11. 3:30-5:00, 239 Savery Hall. Speaker: Marc Van Der Hout, Human Rights Attorney in Human Rights from the Bottom Up. Marc Van Der Hout is a past president of the National Lawyers Guild and founding partner of Van Der Hout, Brigagliano & Nightingale, an immigration law firm in San Francisco. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, and a member of the Board of Governors of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Mr. Van Der Hout has twice received the American Immigration Lawyers Association's award for Outstanding Litigator. He has litigated numerous significant cases over the years in the area of immigration and international human rights and has challenged the United States on its military intervention policies in various countries. Among his many cases, Mr. Van Der Hout is lead counsel for the "Los Angeles Eight" ("LA Eight") (American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee v. Reno), one of the most important civil rights cases of the 1990s. Since the case began in 1986, Mr. Van Der Hout has advocated for the rights of immigrants to freedom of speech and freedom from selective enforcement of immigration laws. The L.A. Eight case involves the U.S. government's attempt to deport lawful immigrant Palestinian activists for their support of lawful activities of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine ("PFLP"). Relevant to today, the case embodies the struggle between political freedom of expression and the U. S. Government's claim that it must protect its security interests. Mr. Van Der Hout also has participated in international human rights delegations to Israel and the Occupied Territories, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Cuba.
