My overgrown thyroid and I had to go our separate ways on Monday morning. I'm waiting for my calcium levels to normalize and recovering quite well otherwise. Oh - and I'm not to be operating any machinery or heavy equipment - cameras excluded. I hope - ha ha!
The UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE to End Violence against Women campaign has proclaimed 25th of every month as “Orange Day” – a day to take action to raise awareness and prevent violence against women and girls. Activists from around the world, governments and UN partners have organized Orange Day actions calling for safety from violence at homes, schools, work places and public spaces.
Dhruv Arora, Member of the UNiTE Global Youth Network, India, joined in, explaining that, “I wear orange because I refuse to keep silent in a patriarchal culture that condones and normalizes violence.”
Now it's your turn: From 25 November to 10 December, we want your help to make these actions bigger, bolder, and global. We want to Orange the World in 16 Days.

The CSIS Americas Program and the Center for International Policy will host a half-day conference that will explore what normal relations between the United States and Cuba could look like, while discussing a legal roadmap for getting there. The purpose of the event is not to discuss whether the United States should normalize its relations with Cuba. Instead, the event will explore the process in its legal, practical, and diplomatic aspects, in the event that a U.S. president decides to pursue such a relationship.
The event will feature a morning keynote address by Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who will discuss his recent trip to Cuba and the outlook for the bilateral relationship, and a luncheon keynote address by Ambassador Tom Pickering, who will discuss the role of practical diplomacy in normalizing relations with countries subject to U.S. economic sanctions.
Washington, D.C. attorney Robert Muse will describe the legal capability of a U.S. president to normalize relations with Cuba, and then moderate a discussion of the various elements of normalized U.S.-Cuba relations. Speakers include: Mark Feldman, former Deputy and acting Legal Adviser at the Department of State; Gustavo Arnavat, former U.S. Executive Director of the Inter-American Development Bank and Senior Adviser at CSIS; Jake Colvin, Vice President of the National Foreign Trade Council; Prof. Christine Haight Farley, American University's Washington College of Law; Matthew Aho, Akerman, LLC; and Dan Whittle, Environmental Defense Fund.
Please note that this event is closed to the public, but the proceedings will be live webcast on this page during the conference.

SCHEDULE
• In the Cube Gallery (noon-4pm) you will find "The Space Between," a new project from Dr. Fahamu Pecou that works to dispel the pervasive myth of violence and discord within the Black male community, and seeks to both normalize expressions of care, concern, and compassion while challenging the pervasive image of Black violence and trauma.
• Jessica Brooke Anderson will be offering visitors (one at a time) an opportunity to select a gift from her collection of family objects. She recently inherited 3 houses worth of heirlooms, and is using this opportunity to redistribute these items to the community. In exchange for "adopting" a piece of her family history, she is asking to photograph each object with its new owner, in hopes of creating a new family tree, made up of strangers, all interconnected through the lives and objects that came before.
• Participate in a self-led writing exercise / creativity booster in the space outside of Arvin Temkar’s studio. Arvin is a writer and photographer whose work examines complexity, tension, and hope in a multiracial, multiethnic America, and has been published in major publications across the country. He will also be displaying some of his photography in the windows of his studio.

The public at large is welcomed into their space, limited to 2 at time, to view THROUGHLINE - where the lives of Black Women Artists intersect. Additionally there will be limited edition "I AM WOMAN" tote bags that were hand printed in the art lab and older edition prints available to purchase by Jasmine Nicole Williams.
