El anciano camarada Piao pensó muchas veces en regresar a aquel pueblo remoto y ver cómo había envejecido Putao, comprobar si sus ojos seguían siendo los de una niña de siete años. Pero no regresó. Al envejecer, la mayor parte de los deseos se quedan en meros pensamientos.

The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry is on show in St Giles Cathedral at the moment. The project celebrates the "global Scot" and the vast Scottish diaspora of Scots abroad and the influence they have had in the history and culture of other lands.
When it left Scotland it was around 150 panels, as it journeyed around the world it grew with contributions from craftspeople across the planet, and returns now to Scotland with over 300 panels, celebrating links with Argentina, Australia, Antarctica, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Ethiopia, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Jamaica, Lithuania, Malawi, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Pakistan, Patestine/Israel, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Tristan da Cunha, the United States of America and Zimbabwe.
The themes range across centuries and continents and subjects, from India to the ships of the Arctic Convoys (who fought the bitter ice to take support to Russia during WWII), to a Hawaiian princess. The global family. It is estimated the descendants of Scots ancestry around the world is about five times the actual population of Scotland now. They've have ranged so far throughout history, some voluntary travels for adventure, commerce, missionary works or exploration, others forced (think of the vile Highland Clearances), but wherever they went they set down roots and had an impact, from starting football in a new country to schools to helping liberate others. Nice to think of in these modern days where so many seem to want to turn inwards and xenophobia rises, something that reminds us how intertwined we are across our world.
Under this year’s edition of the “Cooperation with Polish diaspora and Poles abroad” call for proposals, the MFA will allocate a total of over 59 million zlotys to 136 projects. The aim of the contest is to help the Polish diaspora and Poles abroad carry out schemes relating to the Polish community media, school and community infrastructure, as well as teaching Polish, in Polish and about Poland.
W tegorocznej edycji konkursu „Współpraca z Polonią i Polakami za granicą” MSZ dofinansuje 136 projektów na łączną kwotę ponad 59 mln złotych. Konkurs ma na celu wsparcie Polonii i Polaków za granicą m.in. w zakresie mediów polonijnych, infrastruktury szkolnej i polonijnej oraz nauczania języka polskiego, w języku polskim i o Polsce.

Die russischsprachige Diaspora gegen den Krieg und gegen Putin
Dmitriy Bagrash, gebürtiger Moskauer und Ingenieur, lebt seit 1992 in Deutschland. Zusammen mit anderen oppositionellen Exil-Russen hat er einen Verein gegründet: "Unkremlin e.V.". Seine Botschaft ist die Botschaft von Pussy Riot: "Stoppt Putins Terror!"
Direkt neben dem Kanzleramt (Ecke Paul-Löbe-Allee / Heinrich-von-Gagern-Straße) in Berlin gibt es seit Beginn des Russlandkrieges in 2022 eine Freiluftausstellung zum Krieg, die rund um die Uhr geöffnet ist. Die Fotoausstellung „Allee der Opfer“ zeigte die Folgen des russischen Angriffskriegs und der russischen Kriegsverbrechen für die Zivilbevölkerung – nur wenige hundert Kilometer von Berlin entfernt.
Man sieht die Toten von Butscha, Massengräber, verzweifelte Menschen vor Ruinen. Die Ausstellung zeigt aber auch Fotos aus dem Tschetschenien-Krieg und welche aus der Zeit des russischen Überfalls auf Georgien. Außerdem Porträts von ermordeten und vergifteten russischen Oppositonellen. Viele Tote "made by Putin".
Laut Bagrash hat bisher keiner der Staatsminister, Staatssekretäre oder Abteilungsleiter vorbeigeschaut, geschweige denn der Kanzler selbst. Auch von den 736 Bundestagsabgeordneten war mit Ausnahme des Heidenheimer CDU-Politikers Roderich Kiesewetter noch niemand dort.
Schon im April 2021 hatten sie ein Camp vor dem Brandenburger Tor aufgebaut, um für die Freilassung von Alexej Nawalny zu protestieren. Tag und Nacht harrten in Deutschland lebende ukrainische, russische und belarussische Aktivisten aus, veranstalteten Lesungen, Vorträge und Konzerte und versuchten mit Passanten ins Gespräch zu kommen.
Das Demokratie-Camp zielt auf Entscheidungsträger in Deutschland und auf die Bildung der öffentlichen Meinung ab.

LA MULA SANTA
(Berlin / Chile /Armenia / Spain / Malta / Australia)
(Berliner Cumbia Götter)
The First Chilean Cumbia Band from Berlin
From Tierra del Fuego at the extreme southern of South America until the United States, from the Andes to the Atlantic coast, the Colombian Cumbia is popular, while in Europe it is still an amazingly well kept secret. Located on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, this music has been not only in Latin America but also international success. The Band identity comes not only from the infectious beat of the Cumbia, but also of different Latin-American rhythms like Merengue, Salsa, Bomba, Guajira, Reggaeton and Latin Rock.

Minister of Home Affairs Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Dr Erika Bennett Ambassador for the Diaspora Forum in Ghana at the African Diaspora Summit held in Sandton, Johannesburg.24/05/2012
About 1.33 million Filipinos work overseas (termed Overseas Filipino Worker). Many are typically known to be as doctors, accountants, IT professionals, entertainers, teachers, nurses, engineers, military servicemen, students, domestic helpers, housekeepers, and caregivers.
Of 1.33 million, there are about 132,000 of them who work in Singapore. Here in this picture are five of them, perhaps domestic helpers. Sunday is generally their day off. A time where they congregate (mainly in front of Lucky Plaza, seen in the back) and meet friends and fellow workers.
Most of these women are trained teachers or nurses, some even engineers, but many choose to be housekeepers in Singapore and Hong Kong because they will earn more for their families back in the Philippines.
Is it a good thing? Depends who you ask. Ask them in the picture and they most probably will say yes. They provide for family and extended family back home. Their money remittances (about 10billion USD in 2005) account for 13.5% of the Philippines' gross domestic product.
However there is a very noticeable "brain-drain" in the country. The Philippine government does not seem able to create jobs locally. And that is not even mentioning the social and cultural implications of having generations of Filipinos grow up not fully knowing their parents.
By the way, I am a Filipino now residing in Australia and holding an Australian passport with a heartache for the mother-land. If you got this far, any thoughts?

The themes range across centuries and continents and subjects, from India to the ships of the Arctic Convoys (who fought the bitter ice to take support to Russia during WWII), to a Hawaiian princess. The global family. It is estimated the descendants of Scots ancestry around the world is about five times the actual population of Scotland now.

Mailed August 13, 1957, to someone in Ferndale, Michigan. Mailing this back to Ferndale along with an accompanying letter that says the following:
POSTCARD DIASPORA
An ongoing project
Hello, thanks for opening this despite having no idea who mailed it to you. Let me fix that: My name is Christopher Goodwin and I’m an artist and writer in Durham, North Carolina. Accompanying this letter is an old postcard that has been in your house before.
You might be wondering why the heck I’m sending it to you. Well, I've collected used postcards for a long time; old postcards are like little time machines. I'm fascinated by the very particularized history that every image and message carries. The words — sometimes scrawled in haste, sometimes careful and deliberate — often give you a glimpse of the writer.
With all this in mind, I purchase old postcards in bulk to re-send to their original destination as a way for current residents to connect their home to the past. Postcards are ephemeral and too often simply thrown away. I enjoy the frozen moments in time they provide, no matter how banal the messages they bear may be.
I hope you don’t mind receiving the enclosed postcard. I encourage any feedback you might have, so please email me at chris[at]goodwinart.com or write to me using the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
This postcard is yours to keep. If for any reason you don't want it, I'd be grateful if you returned it in the envelope I included. Thank you!
PS: I’m always interested in receiving (and will often pay for) old letters, postcards, photos, paperwork, matchbooks, ticket stubs, and other types of paper ephemera. Much of my collection comprises items that have been passed down for generations; folks feel like they don’t have room for it but feel guilty tossing it in the garbage. If you know anyone in that situation, put them in touch with me.
