March 6-Lillian Greene-Has had work published in The Heroic Young Woman and other publications. She has been writing since 1991, when she first moved to Brooklyn. Greene's strict upbringing led to serious subjects, including a painful autobiography. In her current work, she fictionalizes with more humor, drawing on memories, dreams, things she has heard, personal involvements. A memory of the telephone party line became the basis for a conflict between a farm renter and the owner, and an old model Studebaker became the focus of Love Affair with a Car.

In honor of Women's History Month, I would like to introduce the woman responsible for the next two events. Her name is Cecilia Durkin. Cecilia was introduced to me by Louise Orlando, the new blogger on the block I introduced on urbanseashell—a collection last month. Cecilia and her family have an amazing story resulting in their time spent living and working in Africa. Born from that experience, Cecilia formed the company Women’s Work. Her daughter Macallan has spurned her own worthy cause on MacAnimals.com. Read their amazing stories. If you contact Cecilia or attend one of her amazing events, tell her Lisa from urbanseashell referred you.
Celebrate Women's History Month with classically trained violinist Gwen Laster and her band as their music provocatively fuses with still and video images of women from Africa for the launch of this new multimedia project tentatively entitled, "Women's Work Honored" at An Afternoon at Long Island University (Kumble Theatre), starting at noon on March 7th (Admission is free).
As a violinist, Laster has worked with musical greats such as multi-platinum artists Alicia Keys, Shaggy, Angie Stone, Anthony Braxton, Jay Z, Hubert Laws, and perform live on Broadway shows like Miss Saigon, Carousel, Beauty and the Beast, with television appearances with R&B, Soul and Jazz artists Brian McKnight, Aretha Franklin, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, and Deborah Cox. Laster has been able to intertwine jazz, world, and classical stylings as a band leader and recording artist on two recordings, "Sneak Preview"(EP) and most recently "I Hear You Smiling" with a new CD to be released this Spring. Grateful for all she has accomplished in her professional career, Laster wanted to give back.
The question was, how?
Upon receiving several wedding presents from a newly opened shop called, Women's Work in her hometown of Cold Spring , NY, Laster found her answer. The owner, Cecilia Dinio Durkin and family had just moved back to the NY area after living the past three years in Botswana, Africa. While there, Dinio Durkin worked with women's groups trying to help them market their crafts in order to feed their families. The mission of the store is to provide a venue for women to sell their fairly traded crafts so they can retain their chosen/desired way of life.
After discussing the many ways Laster could help, the two women found a perfect fit. The March 7th performance of “Women’s Work Honored” taking Laster’s music and coupling it with images taken by Dinio Durkin and her husband, Peter Durkin would be the basis for a documentary Dinio Durkin had only dreamed of. But now, with Laster's pledge of donating a percentage of her CD sales and expressing an interest in writing an original score for the film, the dream is closer to becoming a reality. "With Gwen’s musical talents, strength and help, I finally feel the documentary can really happen. By preserving the women and their crafts on film would not only be preserving the history of crafts or culture in Africa , but also the roles women have played from the beginning of time." Says Dinio Durkin.
Women’s Work will be present with crafts for sale on the day of the show. Crafts include: Ostrich Eggshell Beaded Jewelry made by the San Bush Women, Hand Woven Baskets made by the Hambukushu women, Batiks and Hand Painted Bedding and Table Linens from Zimbabwe and Botswana, Marula Oil moisturizer from Botswana, and many more craft projects including those initiated by the many Peace Corps Volunteers and HIV – AIDS initiatives in Southern Africa.
AN AFRICAN TRIO!
...an educational perspective for women
Presented by
American Association of University Woman
Saturday, March 10, 2007
2 - 2:10 pm Business Meeting
2:10 - 4:30 pm Program
Friends Meeting House 249 Hooker Avenue, Poughkeepsie
We will have the unique opportunity to listen to three dynamic and informative African university graduates. Their presentation will focus on the field of study that most African women elect, the impact their education has upon their society, and the reaction of the male population to their education. Our speakers come from Senegal, Nigeria, and Egypt. Each brings different experiences and perspectives. There will be a Q & A at the end of the presentations.
Eudora Chikwendu, originally from Nigeria, received a BA in Political Science from Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania and her PhD in Political Science from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She continues to travel to Nigeria both to do research and to keep in touch with her family. Currently Eudora is an Associate Professor of Political Science and International Relations at SUNY, New Paltz, where she previously taught in the Black Studies Department.
Abeer Fahmy, from Egypt, obtained her BA in the linguistics and translation department of the Helwan University in Egypt. Her ultimate goal is to receive a PhD in order to become a professor in the same university. At present Abeer, recipient of a Fulbright, is in the Arabic Language Department at SUNY New Paltz for this year. She is also working on her Masters in Cognitive Stylistcs and Pragmatics.
Bintou Hinds, born in Senegal but educated primarily in Ethiopia, did cancer research in Harvard and then at Mt. Sinai. Having married an American originally from British Guyana, Bintou presently resides in Poughkeepsie and is a coordinator at Mike Arteaga's Health & Fitness Club in Poughkeepsie.
After the program, Macallam Durkin, portrayed in the Life section of the Poughkeepsie Journal on January 31, will be displaying and selling her very own designs of teeshirts, long-sleeve shirts and sweatshirts, as well as kits for bead making. The entire proceeds will be brought to impoverished children in Botswana by her mother Cecilia Durkin, owner of Women's Work, a fair trade shop in Cold Springs.
In case of serious weather conditions, the meeting will occur on Sunday, March 11. For further information, please call Gloria 845/635-1474.
Directions: From Rt 9 (N or S) turn onto Beechwood Drive. Follow Beechwood (it becomes Ferris Ln). At the end of Ferris Lane turn right on Hooker Ave. The Friends Meeting House is on the right at the 5th intersection (Whittier Blvd).

JACQUES RIVETTE'S LEGENDARY 12-1/2 HOUR 'OUT 1' March 3 & 4 screening to be introduced by Cahiers du Cinéma editor Jean-Michel Frodon
Museum of the Moving Image will present an encore presentation of Jacques Rivette's legendary 12-1/2 hour movie Out 1 on March 3 and 4, 2007 with an introduction by Jean-Michel Frodon, editor-in-chief of the French film journal Cahiers du Cinéma. The film had its first U.S. showing at the Museum on December 9 and 10, 2006, as part of the Museum’s complete Jacques Rivette retrospective. The Museum received a special Film Heritage Award from the National Society of Film Critics for the retrospective and the screening of Out 1.
Described by Dennis Lim in The New York Times as “the cinephile’s holy grail,” the film centers on two theater groups rehearsing Aeschylus and takes off into a complex mystery loosely adapted from Balzac. Jonathan Rosenbaum hails it as “the definitive film about the 1960s counterculture...its deliriously euphoric collective utopias, its ultimate descent into solitude, madness, and dissolution.”
