EASTERN PROMISE
Tibetan Culture Wows Las Condes
(April 8, 2005) Few have had the chance to experience Tibetan culture first-hand as its borders were only reopened to foreign tourists in 1984. But hopefully the beautifully displayed exhibits and interesting factual commentary at Centro Cultural de Las Condes’ exhibition “Encuentro con la cultura tibetana (Meeting with Tibetan Culture)” will encourage viewers to learn more about Tibet’s captivating history.
Film Review
‘TOCANDO EL CIELO’ TRACES NATURE’S ETERNAL JOURNEY
(April 8, 2005) The beauty of “Winged Migration (Tocando el Cielo)” is that it captures the naked wonder of birds in flight – to us humans a miracle of nature, to birds a struggle for survival.
“Few other films bring you up close to the birds as they make their biannual journeys across continents to warmer climes. “Tocando el Cielo” puts the viewer directly alongside the birds with incredible cinematography and viewpoints from the skies that know no boundaries.
Visual Arts
ARTISTS ROAM IN THE FREE TERRITORY
(April 8, 2005) “Contrabandistas de Imágenes (Image Smugglers)” is an eclectic selection of photography, videos, paintings and other mixed media from the 26th São Paulo Biennial. Housed this month in Santiago’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC), the exhibit allows you to wander in and out of surreal environments, widening your eyes to world politics and humanism through different personal and global perspectives.
INSPIRATION PEAKS IN ‘THE VALLEY’
(April 8, 2005) Museo de Artes Visuales is hosting an impressive exhibition featuring a talented group of Chilean painters, sculptors and mixed-media artists. The common thread that binds the diverse group is that all 91 participate in the project “Residencia en el Valle (Residence in the Valley).”
The ST Diary
POPE IDOL
(April 8, 2005) The Diary mourns the death of Pope John Paul II, but does not understand why there was such an outcry when bookmakers started to take bets on who would be the next pope.
