Meet the 2023 CAA-Getty International Program Participants
posted by CAA — Nov 29, 2022
CAA is pleased to announce this year's participants in the CAA-Getty International Program. Now in its twelfth year, this international program, supported by the Getty Foundation, welcomes twelve new participants and four alumni to attend the 2023 Annual Conference in New York City. The goal of the CAA-Getty International Program is to increase international participation in CAA's activities and the field of visual arts in academia, thereby expanding international networks and the exchange of ideas both during and after the conference. We look forward to welcoming this year's participants!
At a pre-conference colloquium, the new participants will discuss key issues in the international study of art history together with CAA-Getty alumni and US hosts. The program will delve into topics such as postcolonial and Eurocentric legacies, decolonization of museums, scholarship and pedagogy, interdisciplinary and transnational methodologies, and the intersection of politics and art history. Learn more about the first ten years of the program in our online publication.
Program participants—art historians, curators, and artists—hail from multiple countries, expanding CAA's international membership and contributing to an increasingly diverse community of scholars and ideas. Selected by a jury of CAA members from a highly competitive group of applicants, each participant will receive funding for travel, hotel accommodation, conference registration, CAA membership, and a per diem.
Alumni invited back to the 2023 conference will present at the Global Change, Crisis, and the State of the Visual Arts session while also connecting our new participants with our burgeoning group of nearly 150 CAA-Getty International Program alumni.

Her areas of expertise include contemporary philosophy, contemporary art, the study of coloniality and decoloniality, transfeminism, the analysis of racism, antisemitism, nationalism, and the study of memory and history in the context of resistance.
Amrita Gupta is an art historian, writer, educator, and editor who works across art education and cultural management. In 2002, she joined the Mohile Parikh Center (MPC), Mumbai, and became its program director in 2005, facilitating critical thinking by curating a wide range of innovative art education programs. She runs the website V-IDEO: Ideas worth Sharing, an archive of short videos on Indian artists for which MPC is the knowledge partner. She received an MFA in art history from Viswabharati University, Santiniketan 2002.
Her writings on modern and contemporary art have been published in anthologies, journals, and websites in India and internationally, and she has authored and edited art books for children. She was a visiting lecturer in art history at the Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai; a fellow at ARThink South Asia (ATSA); a research grantee from the India Foundation for the Arts, and curatorial advisor for Art1st Foundation, Mumbai. Her current art historical research is on Northeast India, framing the region as a "critical art geography" where one can attend to meanings that engage with global modernism and heterodox contemporaneity drawn through one's own historical position. An essay from this research has been published in the book 20th Century Indian Art (Thames & Hudson, 2022). She is cofounder and executive editor of the independent e-journal, Partition Studies Quarterly which focuses on partition stories of Northeast India within the larger discourse of the partition in the subcontinent.
Delaram Hosseinioun was born and reared in Tehran, Iran, and seeks to reflect the voice of Persian women in creative and comparative narratives in spite of borders and restrictions. Delaram received an MA in literary criticism from the University of Exeter and another in cultural studies from KU Leuven University. Through her PhD project at Utrecht University, titled "Unveiling the Other: The Metamorphosis of Feminist Persian Art from the Mid-Twentieth Century to the Present Day," Delaram draws from gender theories in French psychoanalysis, such as in the works of Hélène Cixous and Judith Butler, and continental philosophy, namely in the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and Jacques Derrida. Working with artists and scholars around the world, Delaram deciphers artworks as pictorial dialogues and as artists' attempts to surpass sociocultural restrictions. The revelation and universality of the feminine voice frame her core vision. Delaram's other passion is art journalism and interviewing artists beyond borders.
Brigitta Isabella is a researcher of art history, critical theories, and cultural studies. Her research trajectory revolves around the (im)mobility of artists and the (im)mobilization of art within the geopolitical and geoaesthetic terrains of transnational solidarity. By looking into the transnational traffic of artists, objects, and ideas, she reexamines the reciprocity between nationalism and internationalism and how artistic traces of Third World solidarity can play a discursive part in decentralizing global art history. She studied philosophy at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and gained her MA in critical methodologies at King's College, London. She is also a part of a research-action group called Kunci Study Forum & Collective and serves as the coeditor of Southeast of Now: Directions in Contemporary and Modern Art in Asia, a peer-reviewed journal published by NUS Press. She is a lecturer at the Faculty of Visual Arts in Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Yogyakarta.
Żanna Komar, PhD, was born in Ukraine, lives in Poland, and is an art historian, theoretician of architecture, and exhibitions curator. She is a member of the academic staff at the Institute of European Heritage, part of the International Cultural Centre, Kraków, where she works as a content specialist. She specializes in urban studies, social and art history, and the theory and protection of cultural heritage. She is the author of numerous publications on the history of architecture and art, including the book Trzecie miasto Galicji. Stanisławów i jego architektura w okresie autonomii galicyjskiej (The third city of Galicia. Stanisławów and its architecture in the period of Galician autonomy, 2008). She writes about Art Nouveau, historicism, modernism, and contemporary art, and about totalitarian and modern architecture in present‑day Poland and Ukraine.

Both her dissertation and current postdoctoral research focus on applied arts and the links between art, education, and industry in Argentina in the first half of the twentieth century.
Thabang Monoa's research interests involve art history, art criticism, visual culture, curatorial practice, and cultural studies. He completed his undergraduate studies at the Tshwane University of Technology and then went on to do a master's degree in visual art at the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture, University of Johannesburg. He later worked as an art historian in the faculty's department of visual art. His doctoral study, which he undertook with the SARChI Chair in South African Art and Visual Culture, focused on the notion of Blackness in Afrofuturist aesthetics. Monoa is a member of the College Art Association (CAA) in the USA; a former council member of the South African Visual Art Historians (SAVAH); and is coconvenor of the Gerard Sekoto Winter/Summer School, which is administered through the Johannesburg Art Gallery. In his current capacity as a lecturer in Art History at the University of Cape Town's Michealis School of Fine Art, Monoa continues to generate scholarly output concerning racial aesthetics, notions of futurity, and Black radical thought.
Haoxue Nie is an assistant professor at the School of Art and Humanities, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. She holds a PhD in Western modern art history and theory from the China Academy of Art (2018).

She was a recipient of the Getty Foundation grant for the 35th CIHA Congress (2019) and the international Travel Grant by Terra Foundation for American Art (2016).
Her research covers the first half of twentieth-century American art history, especially from the 1920s to the 1950s. Recently, she has been focusing on the visual ideology of cityscapes within this period and how they remained minor artworks in the mainstream of art history, as well as the concept of time, space, and subjectivity as formal, ideological, and psychological manifestations. The intertextuality among easel painting, modern photography, and films with urban themes in American modernism is also a part of her scholarly explorations.
Zuzanna Sarnecka is an assistant professor of art history at the University of Warsaw (Poland).  She earned her PhD in history of art at the University of Cambridge (2017). She is the author of The Allure of Glazed Terracotta in Renaissance Italy (Brepols, 2021) and coeditor of The Agency of Things in Medieval and Early Modern Art. Materials, Power and Manipulation (Routledge, 2017) and The Materiality of Terracotta Sculpture in Early Modern Europe (Routledge, 2023). Her current research focuses on the adaptation of technique of tin-glazed earthenware from the Italian peninsula across Central Europe. In her work, she aims to construct more inclusive narratives through close investigation of microhistories that have long remained ignored, not because of the lack of sources, but because of the cult of masterpieces. She promotes multisensory perspective in studies of the arts of the past, as more immediately significant for the twenty-first-century beholder, than stylistic attributions and dating.

CWA Picks: Fall 2022
Toni Pepe, Mothercraft, Archival Inkjet, 28″ x 35″, 2020
This fall, there are wonderful exhibitions devoted to the work of women artists. We have linked a few of them here through the theme of care and care's connection to the urgent crisis in which legal protections for women's bodily autonomy have been taken away right before our eyes. The artwork featured in the exhibitions below does not explicitly take up abortion bans and restrictions. Still, they provoke viewers to see women with complexity, and not as natural resources of care. With their inventive imagery, forms, materials, and ideas, each artist implicitly asserts that women's bodies are not transparent containers for other people's purposes. Rather, the artists create images that are layered sites, dense with women's singular desires to imagine and place themselves in worlds of their own making.
Toni Pepe: An Ordinary Devotion
Danforth Art Museum, Framingham State University, Massachusetts
October 8, 2022—January 29, 2022
Artifacts of caregiving and its complications, these archival inkjet prints by Toni Pepe explore the tension between the analytic mind and the tenderness of touch that maternal care encompasses. Each image depicts an ordinary scene in which care is needed or expressed, but Pepe's textual markings and imprints index care's contradictions instead of suffusing them in the aura of idealization and satisfaction. Pepe suggests motherhood is equally about violence and abuse as it is about devotion and nurturing. All are ordinary, but when framed together in such intimate proximity, these dimensions of maternal care trouble societal expectations about what a woman should sacrifice in the name of motherhood and challenge the accepted visual tropes of a woman as a caregiver.
52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone
June 6, 2022—January 8, 2023
Proving that we can both revisit feminist art's dynamic past and witness its ongoing pertinence in an equally dynamic and transformative future, 52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone celebrates the fifty-first anniversary of the historic exhibition Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists, curated by Lucy R. Lippard and presented at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in 1971. 52 Artists showcases work by the artists included in the original 1971 exhibition alongside a new roster of twenty-six female-identifying or nonbinary emerging artists, tracking the evolution of feminist art practices over the past five decades. 52 Artists encompasses the entirety of the museum (approx. 8,000 sq. ft)—the first exhibition to do so in The Aldrich's new building, which was inaugurated in 2004. The result is an exhilarating array of styles, forms, mediums, and subjects, which creates an archive of feminist expression that is, according to curator Amy Smith-Stewart, "inclusive, expansive, elastic, and free."
Lippard's original 1971 exhibition at The Aldrich was one of the first institutional responses to the issue of women artists' invisibility in museums and galleries. More specifically, Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists offered a rejoinder to the protests by the Ad Hoc Women Artists Committee (founded by Poppy Johnson, Brenda Miller, Faith Ringgold, and Lucy Lippard) over the absence of women in the Whitney Museum of American Art's 1970 Sculpture Annual. Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists opened the floodgates to a host of other feminist exhibitions throughout the 1970s, signaling Lippard's emergence as a visionary feminist curator and critic and marking the debut of many groundbreaking artists. Lippard viewed curating this landmark exhibition as an activist gesture. As she explains in the catalog, "I took on this show because I knew there were many women artists whose work was as good or better than that currently being shown, but who, because of the prevailingly discriminatory policies of most galleries and museums, can rarely get anyone to visit their studios or take them as seriously as their male counterparts." With this radical exhibition, Lippard arguably founded the feminist curatorial practice in this country, and 52 Artists underscores its ongoing influence.
Amy Sherald. The World We Make
Hauser & Wirth, London
October 12—December 23, 2022
Amy Sherald is acclaimed for her paintings of Black Americans that have become landmarks in the grand tradition of social portraiture—a tradition that for too long excluded the Black men, women, families, and artists whose lives have often placed to the side of public narratives even as they have been inextricable from them. Quiet and still but also bright with vibrant, dynamic colors, Sherald's portraits place her subjects in everyday settings that ultimately elude viewers' full grasp but also immortalize their depth and significance. In this new body of work on display at Hauser & Wirth, she continues confronting the Western canon of portrait painting by drawing from iconic images and deploying them to carefully reveal the worlds Black people have made for themselves.
Carolee Schneeman, Body Politics
Barbican Centre, London
September 8, 2022—January 8, 2023
Carolee Schneemann, Body Politics is the first survey in the UK of the work of American artist Carolee Schneemann (1939-2019) and the first major exhibition since her death in 2019. Tracing Schneemann's diverse, transgressive, and interdisciplinary work over six decades, the show celebrates a radical and pioneering artist who remains a feminist icon and point of reference for many contemporary artists and thinkers. Body Politics reveals that Schneeman addressed urgent topics from sexual expression and the objectification of women to human and animal suffering and the violence of war. It shows that she explored the precarity of existence and art as a model of care. Spanning the range of Schneeman's output and exhibiting rarely seen archival material that includes scores, sketches, scrapbooks, programs, and costumes, Carolee Schneeman, Body Politics positions her as one of the most relevant, provocative, and inspiring artists of the last century.
Mickalene Thomas: Avec Monet
Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris
October 13, 2022—February 6th, 2023
Mickalene Thomas has created a distinct visual vocabulary of Black erotica, Black sexuality, and Black queer aesthetics centered around joy and pleasure. This exhibition highlights the sensuous depths of her art historical imagination and the intimacy of her collaborations with the past. On display in Mickalene Thomas: Avec Monet are three new large-scale collages, one monumental painting, and an immersive site-specific installation featuring her 2016 video/sculpture Me As Muse. These works deepen our view of Thomas' vivid, celebratory style and attest to her time as an artist-in-residence at Claude Monet's home in Giverny, France, in 2011.
Martine Syms: She Mad Season One
Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago
July 2, 2022—February 12, 2023
This solo exhibition features Martine Syms's She Mad series. This ongoing conceptual project takes the form of a semi-autobiographical sitcom about a young woman trying to make it as an artist in Los Angeles. Drawing from a range of sources, including early cinema, television shows, advertisements, and internet memes, Syms, known for her humor and biting social commentary, dissects the ways Black experiences are mediated on television, in film, and online. The show marks the US premiere of the fifth and newest episode of She Mad—and the first time that the series is shown in its entirety.
Martine Syms: She Mad Season One situates the five video artworks within an immersive sculptural installation constructed from exposed aluminum studs painted in the artist's signature shade of purple—a reference to both the chroma key backdrops frequently used in post-production of films and television shows and Alice Walker's 1982 novel The Color Purple. Like the exposed walls of the installation, Syms's videos lay bare the structures that shape the images and videos we consume.
Close Enough: New Perspectives from 12 Women Photographers at Magnum
International Center of Photography, New York
September 29, 2022—January 9, 2023
Close Enough: New Perspectives from 12 Women Photographers of Magnum presents pivotal projects in the careers of 12 contemporary women photographers of Magnum Photos, the pioneering photography collective. With a title inspired by Magnum co-founder Robert Capa's quote "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough," Close Enough presents more than 150 works, including Sabiha Çimen's explorations of the experiences of young Islamic women in Turkey; Alessandra Sanguinetti's long-term collaboration with the rural Argentinean cousins Guille and Belinda as they evolve from childhood into adulthood; Bieke Depoorter's multiyear, multiform project Agata, about a young club performer in Paris; and Susan Meiselas' work with women who sought refuge from domestic violence in the Midlands, UK. The exhibition also creates space for the photographers to narrate their creative journeys, providing vantage points into the extraordinary relationships they create within global situations, communities, and individual subjects.
Silvia Kolbowski: Who will save us?
Kunsthaus Glarus, Switzerland
September 4, 2022–November 27, 2022
In the two exhibition spaces at Kunsthaus Glarus, Silvia Kolbowski presents the video work Who will save us? (2022) and Missing Asher (2019) The work Who will save us? was created especially for this exhibition. The video is a "mashup" of two films: Metropolis (1927, directed by Fritz Lang) and THX 1138 (1971, directed by George Lucas), both futuristic science-fiction films about life in hierarchical two-class societies. Distilling over three hours of film into a 14-minute film loop, Kolbowski's experimental compilation of footage creates a new narrative that resonates with the prescience of the original films but relates to the present political moment, in which the psychological aspects of group dynamics interact with neoliberal capitalism's embrace of technology and polarized wealth. Another video, Missing Asher (2019), also makes time into a medium. This artwork, which includes Kolbowski's correspondence with the influential conceptual artist Michael Asher – raises the question of whether the de facto stipulations of the art market are permanently aligned against conceptual, research-based works.

The Annual Conference Committee identifies a distinguished scholar each year who then invites a group of colleagues to create the session. The honoree's involvement is fundamental to the series, which has become a tradition that gives voice to the continuities and ruptures that have shaped art-historical scholarship from the twentieth century into the new millennium.
Access to this program requires registration and is included with an All Access–level registration. Recordings will be accessible to registrants after the event. Register here.
Sullivan's work has been transformative for the field of art history, especially in relation to the study and elevation of Latin American and Caribbean, Latina/o/x art and artists, and for the advancement of women and the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities in these regions.
Edward J. Sullivan is the Helen Gould Shepard Professor in the History of Art at New York University (Institute of Fine Arts and the Department of Art History). Since receiving his PhD from NYU's Institute of Fine Arts in 1979 (with a dissertation on painting in Madrid after the death of Velázquez) he has taught at Hunter College, Williams College, the University of Miami, and Trinity College, Dublin. However, his service as professor and administrator at New York University has been the defining aspect of his professional career. Sullivan has mentored hundreds of students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. His fields of research and teaching focus on a wide variety of geographical and temporal areas from Viceregal art in the Americas and the Philippines, to nineteenth-, twentieth-, and twenty-first-century art in Mexico, Central and South America, the United States, and the Caribbean. Sullivan has also had a parallel career as an independent curator and has worked on exhibitions in museums and cultural institutions throughout the US, Latin America, and Europe. He is the author of more than thirty books and exhibition catalogs, among which are The Language of Objects in the Art of the Americas (Yale University Press, 2007), Fragile Demon: Juan Soriano in Mexico 1935–1950 (Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2008), Continental Shifts: The Art of Edouard Duval Carrié (Haitian Cultural Institute 2008), Nueva York 1613–1945 (Scala Books, 2010), From San Juan to Paris and Back: Francisco Oller and Caribbean Art in the Era of impressionism (Yale University Press, 2014), Making the Americas Modern: Hemispheric Art 1910–1960 (Laurence King, 2018), and Brazilian Modern: The Living Art of Roberto Burle Marx (New York Botanical Garden, 2018).
The panel will include Ilona Katzew (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), Estrellita Brodsky (Another Space), Sean Nesselrode-Moncada (Rhode Island School of Design), Joseph Shaikewitz (Institute of Fine Arts), and Lynda Klich (City University of New York, Hunter College) as moderator.

Presentations and Panelists
"Tavolino di gioie": The Mediation of Material Techniques in Late Cinquecento Hardstone Inlaid Tables – Wenyi Qian, Ph.D. Candidate in Art History, University of Toronto, Toronto
Wenyi Qian is a Ph.D. candidate in early modern Italian art, with a focus on the relationship between artistic practice and knowledge culture of the period. Her dissertation examines the production of hardstone inlaid tables in late Cinquecento and Seicento Italy at the nexus of early modern craft knowledge, natural sciences, and courtly life and consumption. It aims to track technical crossovers between disparate artistic media and scales in the making of this genre of domestic furniture. She holds a BA in History of Art with Material Studies and an MA in History of Art from University College London. Prior to her doctoral research, she interned at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and worked as a convenor of academic programs at OCAT Institute, Beijing. This latter experience led to her interest in the historical formation of the discipline in Europe, as well as transnational intellectual exchange around the ideas of the arts and humanities across Europe, America, and East Asia over the last century. In addition to academic research, her translation of Victor I. Stoichita's L'Instauration du tableau: métapeinture à l'aube des temps modernes is forthcoming by the end of 2022.

Distinguished Awardees: Zahira Véliz Bomford and Fred Hagstrom
posted by CAA — Aug 18, 2022
Every year at its Annual Conference in February, CAA gives its prestigious Distinguished Awards to professionals in the visual arts. With these annual awards, CAA seeks to honor individual artists, art historians, authors, curators, and critics whose accomplishments transcend their individual disciplines and contribute to the profession as a whole and to the world at large. We share a closer look at the careers of two individuals who received Distinguished Awards, Zahira Véliz Bomford and Fred Hagstrom.
Watch this video to learn more about Zahira Véliz Bomford, who received CAA's 2022 CAA/American Institute for Conservation Award for Distinction in Scholarship and Conservation, and her career as an art conservator and art historian. The CAA/American Institute for Conservation Award for Distinction in Scholarship and Conservation recognizes outstanding contributions by one or more persons who, individually or jointly, have enhanced understanding of art through the application of knowledge and experience in conservation, art history, and art. The joint award with AIC was first presented in 2016. Between 1991 and 2015, the award was known as the "CAA/Heritage Preservation Award for Distinction in Scholarship and Conservation."
This video looks at the career of Fred Hagstrom, recipient of CAA's 2022 Distinguished Teaching of Art award. The Distinguished Teaching of Art Award, established in 1972, is presented to an individual who has been actively engaged in teaching art for most of their career. This award is presented to an artist of distinction who has developed a philosophy or technique of instruction based on their experience as an artist; has encouraged their students to develop their own individual abilities; and/or has made some contribution to the body of knowledge loosely called theory and understood as embracing technical, material, aesthetic, and perceptual issues.

CAA's Committee on Women in the Arts, Archival Recordings from the 1994 Annual Conference
Entry in 1994 Annual Conference program of the Committee on Women in the Arts' session.
Abstract entry of the Committee on Women in the Arts session in the 1994 Annual Conference abstracts program.
Fifty years ago in 1972, CAA founded its first committees devoted to women in the arts. This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this history by sharing historic materials from CAA members and archives that intersect with feminism at the organization, CAA's Committee on Women in the Arts, and from its Affiliated Societies, the Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) and The Feminist Art Project (TFAP). CAA established the Committee on the Status of Women (COSW), the first committee to focus on women in CAA's history, in 1972. The COSW was renamed the Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) in 1996, and it continues to promote women in the visual arts field.
In 1994, CAA's Committee on Women in the Arts held a panel chaired by Judith Stein that featured speakers Linda Nochlin, Ann Sutherland Harris, and Alessandra Comini. Their individual presentations look at the progress of women artists and art historians over the previous twenty years, since 1974. The talks use the exhibition, Women Artists 1550-1950, curated by Nochlin and Harris, as a benchmark for discussion. This landmark exhibition toured four American museums in 1976-77, such as the Brooklyn Museum in 1977, and raised public awareness of the many gifted women painters, sculptors, and architects.
The talks in this session compare and contrast the attitudes that prevailed when the show was being organized with views in the nineties. Releasing these recordings of the session almost another twenty years later, it is an opportunity to reassess the status of women in the arts once again.
CAA Conversations · CAA 50th Anniversary Celebration of Feminism + Art
Biographies of the speakers:
Judith E. Stein chaired CAA's Committee on Women in the Arts from 1992 to 1997, initiating a series of awards to women in the arts. A writer and curator, Stein studied at Barnard College, and has a Ph.D. in art history from the University of Pennsylvania.
Stein was recently awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) in 2020. She has written at length on feminism and women artists, beginning with her 1981 doctoral thesis on the neoclassic iconography of Sappho, one of the first feminist dissertations in art history at the University of Pennsylvania. She helped organize Philadelphia Focuses on Women in the Visual Arts (FOCUS) in 1973-74 and edited the WCA's newsletter from 1975 to 1977. She was also a member of the WCA national advisory board from 1979 to 1981. Her first piece of art criticism was published in Art in America in 1974, reviewing a Judy Chicago exhibition. She also wrote on Cecilia Beaux, the first woman to teach at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Feminist Art Journal, Winter (1975–1976). Her work has also appeared in Art News, The New York Times Book Review, and the National Public Radio's Fresh Air and Morning Edition.
Stein served on the advisory board of Philadelphia's Leeway Foundation for women artists, (1994–2002) and was the first curator of Leeway Founder Linda Alter's collection of art by American women artists. Stein wrote the foundational essay for Making Their Mark: Women Artists Move into the Mainstream, 1970–1985 (Abbeville, 1989) and "Collaboration," for The Power of Feminist Art (Harry N. Abrams, 1994). She curated The Likeness of Being: Contemporary Self-Portraits by Sixty Women (DC Moore Gallery, New York, 2000), and co-curated Picturing the Modern Amazon: The Hypermuscular Woman (The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, 2000).
She is the author of Eye of the Sixties, Richard Bellamy and the Transformation of Modern Art, (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2016). Other curatorial projects by Stein include Red Grooms, A Retrospective for the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and I Tell My Heart: The Art of Horace Pippin, which traveled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1995 and earned a best catalogue award from AICA/USA.
Among her honors is a Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant; a Pew Fellowship for literary non-fiction; and a Lannan Foundation writing residency in Marfa, Texas. Learn more about Judith Stein's career on her webpage and in this WCA announcement.
Alessandra Comini is University Distinguished Professor of Art History Emerita at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She received her B. A. degree from Barnard College, her M. A. from the University of California at Berkeley, and her Ph.D. "with distinction" from Columbia University where she taught for ten years. She has also taught at the University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, served as the Alfred Hodder Resident Humanist at Princeton University, and was named Distinguished Visiting Lecturer at Oxford University's European Humanities Research Centre (1996). Voted "outstanding professor" by her students sixteen times, she has been extended the Distinguished Teaching Prize of the Meadows School of the Arts and the United Methodist Church Scholar/Teacher of the Year Award (1996).
An undergraduate and a graduate scholarship in Comini's name have been established by former students, one a professor of surgical oncology in Little Rock, Arkansas; the other, founder and co-owner of an international antiques business in Dallas. The author of major essays and eight books, one of them nominated for the National Book Award (see publications), Dr. Comini was awarded the Grand Decoration of Honor by the Republic of Austria in recognition of her contributions to Germanic culture in 1990. Her lively revisionist work in the history of women artists was acknowledged in 1995 by the Women's Caucus for Art with the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award. A vibrant lecturer in both English and German, she is in great demand in America and abroad as a speaker in her chosen fields of art and cultural history as well as musical iconography (see lectures)…. (Source: https://www.alessandracomini.com/introduction/)
Ann Sutherland Harris was born in Cambridge, England and was educated in both the USA and the UK (BA 1961 & PhD 1965, University of London at the Courtauld Institute of Art). She has lived in the States since 1965, teaching at Barnard College and Columbia University, and at several other universities before joining the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh as Professor of the History of Art and Architecture in 1984. There she taught a variety of courses to under- graduate and graduate students. She retired from teaching in 2012.
Harris's research focuses mainly on 17th century Europe, especially painters and sculptors working in Italy and France. She has a particular interest in artists' drawings and what they reveal about artists' ideas and intentions, as well as in artists' self-perceptions and the roles they play as they interact with patrons and their demands. She has published books about Andrea Sacchi and Gian Lorenzo Bernini's drawings and, most recently, a substantial survey of European 17th century art and architecture (Laurence King, London; 2005; 2nd ed. 2008). A full bibliography of her publications is available on her university's website.
Harris became interested in the past and present situation of women during the late 1960s and 1970s, when she became an activist for improved status for women in academe. She testified before the US Congress in 1970 about the discrimination faced by women in higher education, and then helped to set up the Women's Caucus for Art, an advocacy organization for women active as artists, art historians, and museum professionals: she was its first President (1972-74). She also encouraged Wilhelmina Holladay to found a museum devoted to women artists, which she did twenty-five years ago: the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington, DC.
Art history and activism came together when Harris and Linda Nochlin co-curated the traveling exhibition Women Artists, 1550-1950 for the Los Angeles County Museum in 1976-7 (also shown at the University Art Museum, Austin, Texas; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and the Brooklyn Museum, New York). She was responsible for artists active in the 16th to 18th centuries, and Nochlin for the artists working after 1800, and she contributed most of the catalogue entries for the earlier artists as well as an introduction that provided the essential historical background for the pioneering women artists who emerged in Europe in the mid-sixteenth-century. Since then, she has occasionally written about twentieth-century women, including Alice Neel (1900-84), Elizabeth Murray (1940-2006) and Edna Andrade (1917- 2008), as well as contributing catalogue essays, articles and reviews about Artemisia Gentileschi and Sofonisba Anguissola, and a survey of recent scholarship on Sofonisba, Artemisia, Lavinia Fontana and Elisabetta Sirani for the exhibition, Italian Women Artists from the Renaissance to the Baroque held at the women's museum in Washington in 2007.
Linda Nochlin was an American feminist art historian most well-known for her 1971 article "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?," which widely influenced art history, leading to new research and awareness of history and how it is written, analyzed, and taught, as well as launching the field of feminist art history.
Nochlin graduated from Vassar College in 1951 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and earned a master's degree in English from Columbia University in 1952. Her doctorate in art history from the Institution of Fine Arts at New York University (NYU) focused on realism and Gustave Courbet. From 1952 to 1979, Nochlin taught art history at Vassar and published two books on 19th-century art in 1966, Realism and Tradition in Art, 1848–1900 and Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, 1874–1904. She shifted her focus to feminism in 1969, when she taught one of Vassar's first art history courses on women, "The Image of Women in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries." After her landmark article, in 1976 Nochlin co-curated "Women Artists: 1550–1950" with Anne Sutherland Harris.
Nochlin left Vassar for a professorship at the graduate school at the City University of New York, where she stayed from 1980 until 1990. In the eighties she published more on Courbet, such as Courbet Reconsidered (1988) with Sarah Faunce, which was also an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Nochlin also published Women, Art, and Power, and Other Essays (1988) and The Politics of Vision: Essays on Nineteenth-Century Art and Society (1989). Nochlin than taught at Yale University (1990-1992) and then became a professor at NYU.
During this time, she published Women in the 19th Century: Categories and Contradictions (1997), Representing Women (1999), and Bathers, Bodies, Beauty: The Visceral Eye (2006).
In 1972, CAA founded its first committees devoted to women in the arts. As a part of this yearlong 50th anniversary celebration, we are sharing historic materials from CAA members and archives that intersect with feminism at the organization, including CAA's Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) and our Affiliated Societies, Women's Caucus for Art (WCA) and The Feminist Art Project (TFAP).
This celebration culminates in a program and reception at Boston University's Joan and Edgar Booth Theatre on Friday, September 23, 2022. This program will reflect upon the incredible history of feminist pioneers at the organization while looking toward a more inclusive, equitable future through the continued work of the CWA. The members of CWA are carrying the torch of feminism during this crucial time of precarity for women's rights.
Over the next couple months, visit this site (CAA News) and our social media pages to explore more about this history and items from our archives.

In 2006, during the CAA Annual Conference in Boston, the Committee on Women in the Arts (CWA) honored Moira Roth (Trefethen Professor of Art History at Mills College in Oakland, CA) and Trinh T. Minh-ha (Professor of Women's Studies and Rhetoric/Film at the University of California at Berkeley) with the CWA Annual Recognition Awards. Then CWA member, Carolyne Manosevitz, offered her own paintings as the award gifts. Roth, who recently passed away, was one of the first scholars to publish on feminist performance art. Her books, The Amazing Decade: Women in Performance Art in America (1983)and Rachel Rosenthal (1995), were groundbreaking. Minh-Ha is a Vietnam-born filmmaker, writer, and composer, whose practice is positioned within the fields of feminist and post-colonial studies.
After 2008, this award became a part of CAA's Distinguished Awards program as the Distinguished Feminist Awards. The Distinguished Feminist Award is presented annually to a visual artist or designer who, through outstanding efforts in their practice or advocacy, has advanced the cause of equality for women in the arts; as well as a scholar who, through outstanding efforts in their scholarship, curatorial practice, or advocacy, has advanced the cause of equality for women in the arts. Read more about this award and its recipients here.

NRL Wrap-Up Round 7:
It was a weekend of upsets as the Broncos, Roosters and Rabbitohs all found out. The Dragons were solid as a brick in defence and are have now found themselves in equal top spot on the NRL ladder. I tipped the Dragons as they're extremely hard to beat at Kogarah and they know how to win tight games.
By the way, if you're a Dragons fan and liking the form, they're paying a whopping $23 to win the Premiership. I don't normally promote betting on this site but that's good value. If they can get the job done against the Roosters next week, watch that $23 drop to around $13.
A big pat on the back has to go to the Gold Coast Titans who outclassed the Panthers on Saturday afternoon. After putting a few past Parramatta last week, the Gold Coast did the same to Penrith and are started to build their confidence after a horror pre-season.
At the foot of the table are the Manly Sea Eagles and it pains me as a member and a lifelong supporter to see the club in last spot. As much as the off-season media turmoil with Cherry-Evans is playing a part, it's a crippling injury crisis that's hurting Manly the most. They'll need a massive turn around if they want to win in Melbourne on ANZAC Day.
Talking about ANZAC Day, the Sydney Roosters will be in need of a win in their clash with the Dragons. Three-straight losses will no doubt have Trent Robinson fuming because they were all close, winnable games for the tri-colours. It's a real possibility that the Premiership contenders could drop out of the eight with a loss on Saturday.
Finally, a huge shout out to the 3,900 or so fans that showed up to Shark Park on Monday night. Braving what was classed as the equivalent of a Category 1 Cyclone, the Cronulla faithful deserve a massive wrap. Not many would leave their lounge rooms in those conditions. Good to see the boys give those fans something to cheer as well with a massive win over South Sydney.

Lemmings Paintball — видеоигра в жанре экшн из франшизы Lemmings, сделанная Visual Science и изданная Psygnosis в 1996 году.

В отличие от большинства игр серии Lemmings, он не использует перспективу сайд-скроллера, а вместо этого представляет изометрический вид уровней. Геймплей также сильно отличается от других игр серии Lemmings, фокусируясь на разбрызгивании врагов краской из пистолета. Уровни содержат различные головоломки, включая движущиеся платформы, катапульты и батуты.

Lemmings Paintball был известен как Lemmings Play Paintball во время разработки.

Отзывы

Критик из Next Generation прокомментировал: «Как и в большинстве игр серии Lemmings, звук и графика являются милыми и простыми, но не потрясающими, а игровой процесс интересен. Самая большая проблема заключается в том, что … когда вы занимаетесь квадратами на другой стороне возвышенных областей, нет никакого способа сказать, опасно или безопасно ли это, за исключением того, чтобы пожертвовать леммингом». Рецензент GameSpot Тим Соэте похвалил стратегию игры, сетевой мультиплеер, саундтрек, включение двух старых игр серии Lemmings в качестве бонуса, графику и испытания, критикуя расстраивающую сложность местности. На GameRankings игра оценивается в 63 %, основываясь на трёх отзывах.

Demons (1985)
I promised my good buddy Jamie that I'd do a review of Lamberto Bava's 'Demons', so here it is. This is brilliantly trashy 80's horror from Italian horror legend Lamberto Bava, son of the brilliant Mario Bava. A mysterious stranger appears in a metro station and begins to hand out flyers inviting people to attend a horror movie showing in a local cinema. The people arrive in their droves and begin to check the cinema out before the movie starts. One of the patrons called Tony (Bobby Rhodes) is attending with two females, one of who starts fooling around with a silver mask hanging on a statue. The mask cuts her face prompting her to put the mask back.
The film the people have arrived to watch begins. In it there is a group of students investigating some ruins, where it is rumoured that Nostradamus is buried. When they find the grave all that's inside is a dusty old book and a mask wrapped in cloth. One of the students takes the cloth off and is presented with a sliver mask, similar to the one in the cinema foyer. One of the students begins fooling with the mask and it cuts his face. His friend tells him to stop as it is said in the book that anyone who puts the mask on will become possessed by a demon. The female accomplice of Tony who also wore the mask panics as it's similar to what happened to her. She retreats to the bathroom where her cut pulsates and explodes with pus seeping from it. Her friend comes to the toilet to see what is wrong with her and is presented with a yellow eyed demon spewing green goo from her mouth. Pretty soon, one by one, the cinema goers are possessed by the demons. Now it's up to a small group to battle the evil and try find a way out of the cinema.
This film is great fun. However it's fun for some of the wrong reasons. The acting is not the best, and the dialogue is cringe worthy at times. That being said, Bobby Rhodes who plays Tony the Pimp is a joy to watch. He's such a bad ass and just doesn't give a fuck that you can't help but love him. The rest of the cast are ok, not brilliant. The gore is top notch though. I don't know what the budget was, but it seems decent enough as the effects are fantastic. Best of all though is the soundtrack. With great tunes by Billy Idol and Motley Crue to name but a few, it's banging. If you haven't seen it then give it a go. If you're a horror fan then it's a must.
I really enjoyed it, but found myself laughing a lot at some of the characters. Even the demons were funny, although not intentionally I don't think. It's not a particularly scary movie by any stretch, but is a good film to watch with some like minded pals. Enjoy!

One response to "Demons (1985)"
Jamie Warr ⋅
On the 26th of May 2012 I popped a long to the Camden Film Fair. One of the main reasons I wanted to go had to be because italian actor Bobby Rhodes made a guest appearance at the event.
I'm guessing most of you won't know who he is (and shame on you) but Bobby Rhodes was born in 1947 in Livorno, Italy. He first began acting in films in the late 1960s and was frequently cast as hard-as-nails two-fisted macho-guy types in various Italian war, action, and horror features made throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
I know Bobby Rhodes from his role as Tony the Pimp in Lamberto Bava's outrageously gruesome cult horror film Demons (1985) and as rugged gym instructor Hank in the equally enjoyable sequel Demons 2 (1986).
If you have ever seen the two films above you will know how good they are. I first watched them back in the 80's when my Dad used to rent videos from the local video shop. I still wonder to this day why a parent would let a kid under ten watch that but I don't hold it against him. To this day though they still scare the bejeesus out of me. Here is the link to the Italian trailer for Demons 2 – LINK . Watch it and you will get the point.
Anyway I was really chuffed to meet him. It was lovely to see lots of other people queueing to meet him and when I got my chance to say hello he was such a nice man and I went a bit fan boy.
I managed to mumble to him how cool I thought he was and I mentioned how at the age of 33 the films still scare me to death. He was rather amazed by this but like I said to him, now I've met him I was hoping to put some of these 'Demons' to rest. Which incidentally I haven't as I've watched one of them since and it still disturbs me.
For fear of rambling again I'm going to leave it now but I will end saying how much of a high meeting Bobby Rhodes left me on and while I'll probably never meet him again it's a memory that will remain with me for a long long time.
Thank you Bobby it was a pleasure to meet you.

How would you describe Mozart?
Mozart was a versatile composer, and wrote in every major genre, including symphony, opera, the solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and the piano sonata. He almost single-handedly developed and popularized the classical piano concerto.
What kind of guy was Mozart?
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–91) was an Austrian composer. Mozart composed music in several genres, including opera and symphony. His most famous compositions included the motet Exsultate, Jubilate, K 165 (1773), the operas The Marriage of Figaro (1786) and Don Giovanni (1787), and the Jupiter Symphony (1788).
What did Mozart like to do?
Mozart liked billiards and was apparently very good at it. He played often with his friend, the Irish tenor Michael Kelly, and almost always won. A billiard table with five balls and 12 cues was among Mozart's estate when he died in 1791.
What was Mozart like as a kid?
He was born on a cold and snowy day on January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria. At age 5, he wrote his first song. By the time Mozart was 6 years old, he traveled around the bumpy roads of Europe to perform concerts for royal families. Mozart loved animals.

What Really Killed Mozart?
13 in G Major, K 525 or 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik ' as it is informally known, was Mozart's most famous serenade (chamber work intended for light entertainment). The reason the piece was composed has never been fully established, but we do know he wrote the score at the same time he was working on Don Giovanni, in 1787.
Who is better Mozart or Beethoven?
With 16 of the 300 most popular works having come from his pen, Mozart remains a strong contender but ranks second after Ludwig van Beethoven, overtaking Amadeus with 19 of his works in the Top 300 and three in the Top 10.
Is Mozart a genius?
Nicholas Kenyon, the author of A Pocket Guide to Mozart, agrees that the composer's reputation as a genius was created only after his death. The Romantic composers who succeeded him perpetuated this idea that he composed thoughtlessly, when all the evidence is that he wrote and rewrote his work. '
What was Mozart's favorite piece?
1, the Clarinet Concerto is one of Mozart's best-loved works. It was written shortly before Mozart's death for the clarinettist Anton Stadler and has three movements.
Did Beethoven really meet Mozart?
While it cannot be determined whether Beethoven actually met Mozart, it is more probable that he heard Mozart play. Beethoven's student Carl Czerny told Otto Jahn that Beethoven had told him that Mozart (whom Beethoven could only have heard in 1787) "had a fine but choppy [German zerhacktes] way of playing, no ligato."

He also had a generous parking space for his carriage and lived for most of his time in Vienna in a seven-room apartment, the exhibition shows.
Was Mozart rich growing up?
As with all freelance artists, Mozart's income fluctuated. Times of overabundance and poverty both featured throughout Mozart's entire life. When money was there, he spent it liberally. Constant moves and a luxurious lifestyle were extremely costly – but Mozart was more than capable of making money in Vienna.
Question: Who Did Mozart Work For?

ng on simplicity, releasing often and testing often are also applicable to developing good instructional programs. Does instructional systems design (ISD) need more agility? An ISD project team should be able to return to the Analysis or Design phase and make changes while instructional content Development is taking place. If not, changing conditions cannot be accommodated and the programme is outdated before it's even finished. I wonder how many content development shops actually have a process that enables them to rebuild after the design specification has been signed off.
The root of the problem is that ISD views instruction as separate from work. Instruction is perceived as something that can be designed, developed and delivered as a programme, not integrated with the work to be done. Subject matter experts are consulted, but the ISD professionals remain in control. It's a good model when things change slowly. The current fascination with rapid e-learning only exacerbates the problems with ISD. Rapid is just a faster version of ADDIE, with less time for reflection and feedback: Garbage-In; Garbage-Out.
Things are moving so fast, and increasingly the work will be solving new problems, designing new solutions/products/services, etc, that we won't be able to anticipate the actual work needs. What we will need to do, instead, is ensure that a full suite of tools are available, and provide individuals with the ability to work together to create worthwhile working/learning environments.
In short, tying back to my post on collaboratively designing job aids, I think we need to be collaboratively designing workflows. What I mean is that the learning function role will move to facilitating individuals tailoring content and tools to achieve their learning goals.
Collaborative co-design is one more way to integrate work and learning, and give our organizations more agility. Embedding the principles of communicating, focusing on simplicity, releasing and testing often; just make sense in an increasingly complex workplace. Once again, the major barrier, like Enterprise 2.0 or social media for work, is that the traditional gatekeepers have to give up control.

Canada Hindu Groups Oppose McGuinty Tax Credit

Hindu groups oppose McGuinty tax credit
By Tom Godfrey,Toronto Sun
First posted: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 05:24 PM EDT | Updated: Wednesday, September 14, 2011 06:43 PM EDT
A majority of Ontario Hindus are outraged by Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty's plan to issue a $10,000 tax credit to firms that hire immigrants, according to Hindu leaders.
The Canadian Hindu Advocacy, in a statement, denounced the tax credit proposal saying community members are against the idea.
The group blasted "Ontario Liberals and their divisive plans to provide training tax credits for new immigrants." The community has traditionally voted for the Liberal Party in Ontario and federally, officials said.
"Our community believes in the wholesale overhaul of an incompetent immigration policy," said spokesman Ron Banerjee, who added Canada's immigration policy — the responsibility of the federal government — has resulted in the entry of "poorly-qualified newcomers."
Banerjee contended "the poorly qualified newcomers' are "responsible for employer contempt for foreign professional credentials."
"Until these circumstances are remedied, divisive and self-defeating policies will only exacerbate an already disastrous situation," the statement said.
He said McGuinty's controversial promise may drive members of his community to support PC Leader Tim Hudak.
An official of the Hindu Society of Ottawa Carleton argued that "poor quality immigrants are being selected for Canada."
"This community has had enough of this government," the official said. "It is anyone but McGuinty for us."
Hudak, who is the grandson of immigrants, has harshly criticized the Liberal plan.
"You know who this program offends the most? New Canadians who are working hard and want to climb the ladder," the Tory leader said at a campaign stop.
"They don't want a special deal. They don't want a sweetheart handout from Dalton McGuinty, to pay a company $10,000 to hire them. They want a fair shake."
There are more than 500,000 Hindus living in Canada, with the vast majority in the Toronto area.
Law professor Sharry Aiken, who specializes in refugee and immigration issues, said the incentive is a good way to help out a group that has traditionally faced higher unemployment levels than other segments of the population.

I can do some background research on this if you like. But I suspect that the Hindu groups that allegedly oppose the tax credit are the same groups that take an arch conservative stance on everything multicultural, oppose accommodations for religious minorities including Sikhs, have written (like that Banerjee fellow) in the conservative press against the kirpan and the burqa. And so I am not surprised. They frequently post of the growing Sikh separatist menace. They loathe the World Sikh Council and describe it as a terrorist front. Speak in supportive tones for the Bloc Quebecois. Decry the multicultural identity of Canada. It is baffling. I do not know if I am right, but that is my current guess.
BTW I have no opinion of the tax credit, as I am not a Canadian citizen. The pieces simply fall into place for me as I have covered the Canadian press coverage of immigration policies and the backlash against open expression of religious identity for minorities for 5 years now. It's politics. Follow the money.

SPNADMIN Ji has hit the nail oh the head! Thanks ! That was my intent in posting the news article. Canada has branches of RSS in almost each province, undermining the Sikhs at each opportunity, while the Sikhs are busy fighting among themselves! I hope the following will help to understand this matter further.A veteran Canadian journalist and human rights advocate, Haroon Siddiqui is editorial page editor emeritus and columnist for the Toronto Star:
The people behind the prayer protest
Haroon Siddiqui
The group demanding an end to Muslim Friday prayers at a Toronto school is militantly anti-Sikh and anti-Muslim.
Canadian Hindu Advocacy's director Ron Banerjee has said: "In its entire history, Islam, the Islamic civilization has invented and contributed less to human advancement than a pack of donkeys."
He wants to "fight the Islamization of our society" and, lately, of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). He's demanding that Valley Park Middle School in Flemingdon Park stop giving space to Muslim students in the cafeteria after lunch on Fridays.
He does not live in the area but claims to have "received many complaints from terrified Hindu students and parents (who) felt that the TDSB was so thoroughly infected with Islamist sympathies that they would suffer consequences for speaking up."
He does not say how many parents complained. Nor does he identify them. When I asked him that by email, and also inquired how many members his organization has and who funds it, he did not respond.
"Frankly, I don't believe what he says," principal Nick Stefanoff says. "I've not had a single complaint from any non-Muslim parents. We have dozens of Hindu students and we have a great relationship with them and their parents. When the Indian cricket team played Sri Lanka in the World Cup final (in April in Mumbai), Hindu and Muslim kids came to the school at 4 a.m. to watch it together. They had a great time."
He says that several of Banerjee's assertions are wrong — that other kids are denied access to the cafeteria (the prayer is held after lunch when the place is vacant); that prayer is interfering with classes (all classes start on time); and that "secular education" is compromised (class content is decidedly not affected).
"I think he just makes it all up," says Stefanoff. "He never asked me a thing. Why doesn't he come and talk to me?"
Banerjee has speculated that the praying students may be subject to "inflammatory preaching" against Hindus. There's no such evidence. And he himself has been quoted as conceding that "there's no evidence that this has occurred."
Yet he plans to picket the school just when the Muslims begin praying in the new school year. "Let's see how much praying they can do with our loudspeakers. . . . If our loudness disrupts their prayers, so be it."
Banerjee's views echo those of extremist Hindus in India, a minority there. For example, he thinks India's ruling secular Congress Party, "which depends heavily on Muslim votes," is "a curse" on that country. Congress led India's struggle against British colonial rule and has been elected more times than any other party since 1947.
Joining Banerjee's crusade are the fundamentalist Christian Heritage Party, the Jewish Defence League (JDL) and the Canadian Muslim Congress. The latter is notorious in the Muslim community for attacking fellow-Muslims and being the darling of Islamophobes and right-wing media.
In January, when the JDL made common cause with a racist British group, the English Defence League, Banerjee was at their Toronto rally, which was opposed by the Canadian Jewish Congress. Bernie Farber, then CEO, said: "When extremists come together, we all too often get a combustible reaction. . . . Using the tactics of hooligans, whether from the right or the left, is appalling."
Banerjee is also in bed with a handful of Canadians who are fans of Dutch anti-Muslim politician Geert Wilders. When they held a rally for him in Toronto last year, Banerjee spoke in glowing terms about Wilders.
Regarding Sikhs, Banerjee applauded the separatist Parti Québécois for championing the banning of kirpans from the Quebec National Assembly. He said kirpans "can be used as deadly weapons and there have been documented cases of Canadian Sikhs injuring others using kirpans." He, of course, did not mention that there are infinitely more documented cases of people injuring others with knives, sticks and guns.
Banerjee describes his group as the voice of "real Hindus." Other times he claims it to be "the leading" voice for Canadian Hindus. This annoys the large and well-respected Canadian Hindu organizations, whom he keeps attacking:
"Canadian Hindu temples and groups have proven themselves unable or unwilling to protect Hindu lives, rights or property. The Canadian Hindu Advocacy was formed to address this, and our national advocacy shall continue to provide real leadership to our oppressed community, which is by far the most victimized in Canada."

spnadmin ji I did not want to go there but you are 100%+ right.
Hindus are very jealous of the growing constituency of Sikh politicians and organizations in Canada and also muslim collective voting successes.
So not having achieved much success they are claiming to be the "Higher people" versus the rest of the immigrants and claim to be more Canadian. They want Canada to adopt the Indian way of treating Sikhs and Muslims and let them be left alone as the "intelligentsia" and harder working and mainstream Canadians.
I do believe Canadian politicians have generally recognized their ways but the Canadian people can be manipulated for sure.

Today, the concept of pre planning a funeral service is becoming quite common. Many have started to show interest in this concept and are choosing to pre-plan their funeral services and cemetery services. If you are very particular about how you would like your mortal remains to be handled after your death, it is ideal to consider pre-planning your cemetery services.
It gives you peace of mind that your family doesn't have to deal with all the nitty-gritties of organizing the cemetery services.
You can be sure that the service would take place exactly as you want it to be.
It's a very thoughtful gesture to the people you love, as pre-planning is a way of showing that you care for them.
It relieves your immediate family from making any personal decisions after your death.
Since you will also be pre-paying for the cemetery services, the financial burden is taken off of your family's shoulders.
Neither you nor your family has to worry about inflation and escalated costs for the cemetery services, once you have made the entire payment.
There are many benefits to pre-planning your end of life services, including the cemetery services. However, it's vital that you co-ordinate this with a reliable cemetery that would be able to meet your specifications.
If you want to know about our cemetery or need to book a space, just give us at Willowbrook Cemetery a call on 203-222-8646 or contact us through our online form and we will revert within the shortest possible time.
