"Exile: 30 Years later..."
|
In 2003 former Chilean President, Ricardo Lagos stated that "No hay
maņana sin ayer" (there is no tomorrow without yesterday) thus
inviting the Chilean society to remember its recent historical and
traumatic past. We fully support his statement and believe that Chilean communities scattered around the globe should also join in this collective process. As members of a community that emerged in the San Francisco Bay Area as a direct consequence of the political situation in Chile in the 70s, we believe we must also rescue and construct our own collective memory set forth in Northern California. Our proyect, "Exile: 30 years later..." is a 3-day event that will include photo, video and art exhibitions, as well as a musical concert that will reunite three of the Bay Area's most emblematic Chilean music ensembles of the late 70s and 80s. **This 3-day event will run at a cost of $7,000 and we are asking for your financial contribution. Although we have received partial support from the government of Chile, and La Peņa Cultural Center, we do need additional funds to reach our goal**. If you would like to financially support our proyect, please send your donation to: Thank you for considering donating! and if you have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact any member of our working group. Partial Financial Assistance
for this proyect has been provided by the Chilean Government via (Dicoex), and la Peņa Cultural Center. |
