From My Desk...

As September arrives, it brings to Brazilians and Brazilian Communities around the world an opportunity to celebrate their Independence from Portugal. The One hundred and ninety-second anniversary, brings along the chance to create, re-think and revive this mark in history, leading to the question, did Brazil really learn their lesson? Brazilians today live a dark and uncertain moment, trying to ban corruption, lack of education and health, even worse uncontrollable violence.

Being the potency it is in size and population number, Brazil has serious problems. Considered in 2010 one of the most promising emerging countries, part of the BRIC (Brazil, India, China) and even the sixtieth economy in the world, it managed to put itself in an impossible position, where the government is discredited and opposed by the people.

Corruption, lobbying, and disregard to the social needs of its population, the Dilma Administration is fighting with poor arguments to gain popularity and votes, but it is still up in the air if that will be possible. Meanwhile the government opposition represented by candidate Aecio Neves and Marina Silva, are still trying to gain votes and win the race to power.

sion. We are no longer one, we are many, in a Global community where one decision affects many, and causes general consequences, in a gigantic domino effect. Regardless, even if you don't live in Brazil, electing the right leader, is important, the decision of change is everyone's decision, each vote is important for a change, no matter where you are.

President Obama slogan for his Presidential Campaign in 2008 was blunt and clear ,"Yes We Can", it proved to work, gave people hope of change. Let's shake it, give someone else a chance and it happened! One more time America made a difference. There is no change without participation, opinion and will. Brazil must stand, vote, and change.

If not for yourself, for the orphans that live on the streets, for the people dying in hospital corridors without hope, for the hungry, homeless. People need to understand, we are the only ones that can really change it all, you have the power, but not protesting and breaking, this is a hopeless act, and after every protest is made, everything goes back to normal, and it is forgotten. Your vote is the most powerful weapon you can use.

Make a difference!

Currently on view at JAI GALLERY, Radiance: A Solo Exhibition by Monte Olinger. MONTE OLINGER is an artist born into a family of artists and scientists, June 17, 1958, Corvallis Oregon.

At an early age he began showing symptoms of a neurological disorder, which altered his abilities to interact with others his age.

Over time he would move from an active participant in his surrounding culture to the role of observer, slightly outside the mainstream, often by choice, sometimes not. When needed he sought out places of shelter to contemplate and refuel the energies needed to complete common tasks and duties and to better interact with the people around him.

His studies, culminating in degrees in Anthropology and the Visual Arts, were driven by the desire to understand the power of place and necessity of love for the human condition. When he needed it most, the surrounding horizon of Florida’s coastal communities were his refuge and is reflected in the simple lines of his work. His work is a reflection of his life’s experience, most im-

portantly the kindness and love he was shown along the way.

The 15 acrylic-on-canvas paintings exhibited in Olinger’s first solo exhibition at Jai Gallery exude tranquility and harmony.

The light emanating from them is peaceful and comforting. They remind us of our connection to the sky, the earth and call us to find beauty and serenity in life.

Whether they are looking at a cityscape, a seaside or sky view, visitors find themselves transported to a place of serenity and contemplation.

Olinger’s paintings have been shown nationally and collected internationally. In 2013 his painting St. John’s Sunset was acquired by the Cornell Fine Art Museum as part of the Alfond Collection.

Radiance will be on view at Jai Gallery until Sept 5th, 2014.

For further information, please contact director Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon.

Gallery hours: Tuesday-Friday 11-4 | Saturday by appointment |Monday-Sunday closed

Red Rose By Monte Olinger

MONTE Olinger é um artista nas cido em uma família de artistas e cientistas, em 17 de junho de 1958, Corvallis, Oregon. Em tenra idade, ele começou a mostrar sintomas de uma doença neurológica, que alterou suas habi lidades de interagir com as pessoas de sua idade. Com o tempo ele deixava de ser um participante ativo em sua cultura circundante ao papel de observador, um pouco fora do mainstream, muitas vezes por opção, às vezes não.

Quando necessário, ele procurava locais de abrigo para contemplar e reabastecer as energias necessárias para completar as tarefas e deveres comuns e para interagir melhor com as pessoas ao seu redor.

Seus estudos, culminando na formação em Antropologia e as Artes Visuais, foram movidos pelo desejo de entender o po der do lugar e da necessidade de amor para a condição humana.

Quando ele mais precisava dela, o horizonte em torno das comunidades costeiras da Flórida foram o seu refúgio e se reflete nas linhas simples de sua obra.

Seu trabalho é um reflexo da experiência de sua vida, o mais importante a bondade e o amor que ele mostrou ao longo do caminho.

As 15 pinturas acrílicas sobre tela expostas na primeira exposição individual de Olinger na Galeria Jai exalam tranquilidade e harmonia. A luz que delas ema na é pacífica e confortante. Nos lembram de nossa conexão com o céu, a terra e nos chama a encontrar beleza e serenidade na vida. Se eles estão direcionadas a uma paisagem urbana, a vista para o mar ou o céu, os visitantes encontram-se transportado para um lugar de serenidade e contemplação.

Pinturas de Olinger foram mostrados nacionalmente e colecionadas internacionalmente.

Em 2013, sua pintura St. John’s Sunset foi adquirida pelo Museu de Belas Artes de Cornell, como parte da Coleção Alfond.

Radiance poderá ser vista na JaiGallery até 05 de setembro de 2014.

Cocina 214 is a Tex-Mex and Mexican kitchen located in Winter Park. The idea for the restaurant came when the two owners, Lambrine and Ronnie Macejewski, started missing the Tex-Mex and Mexican style food they had grown up eating back in Texas. They decided to bring that authentic flavor and quality to Winter Park. The food in the kitchen is prepared fresh every day and nothing ever comes from a can. The menu at Cocina 214 boasts fresh local ingredients and bold flavors that all can enjoy.

As gangs and gang membership continue to expand throughout communities, former Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, now running as a Democrat to get his old job back, vowed last week to implement gang violence legislation to better protect Floridians from violent criminals.

Crist was reminded of the increasing threat that gangs pose when he met Danielle Sampson who suffered severe brain damage from a stray bullet, fired by a reputed gang member, two years ago, according to court documents.

Danielle, and her mother, Alma Fetcher met behind closed doors with Crist and attorney Dan Newlin at the Law Offices of Dan Newlin in Orlando, to share details of her near-fatal shooting and receive assurances that new legislation targeting violent gangs would be enacted.

Then 15 years old, Danielle was riding in her family's van as they left church when she was struck by a stray bullet fired by Tyrone Mosby, who has since been sentenced to 30 years in prison.i Mosby, 22, was firing at someone else after burglarizing a home on Orange County's west side, according to court documents.

Crist reiterated his commitment to the Sampson family to push forward with a new law called Danielle's Law, that cracks down on gang members. Legislation that would create harsher penalties for gang related crime, called the Danielle Sampson bill, is currently being prepared.

"With gangs responsible for an average of 48 percent of violent crime in most jurisdictions, we have to do everything we can to stop it," said Crist.

Meanwhile, as one chapter closed for the Sampson family with Mosby's sentencing, another will open in November when the civil trial against Danielle's shooter gets underway.

Just over one year ago, Dan Newlin announced he had filed a lawsuit against Mosbyii for the "damages and injuries caused by Danielle's wrongful shooting" which occurred on July 29, 2012.

"Prevailing in the civil suit against Mr. Mosby and seeing the enactment of Danielle's Law would be a fitting way for Danielle and her family to get civil justice and some measure of relief," said Dan Newlin.

"And we expect that, implementation of Danielle's Law will give law enforcement an enhanced ability to crack down on gang offenders and increase penalties for those gang members who terrorize our communities," Newlin added.

In 2011, in a civil suit brought by Dan Newlin on behalf of the family of Orlando Police Officer Alfred Gordon, an Orange County jury awarded a $24 million verdict to his survivors and estate.iii According to the 2012 Florida Gang Reduction Annual Report, there were just over 1,600 gangs identified by law enforcement, a 1.6% increase from 2011 and a 15.7% increase since 2010. The Report also states there were nearly 53,000 documented gang members, associates and other pending suspects in 2012.

Dan Newlin, who recently expanded his law practice to Chicago added: "I'm not much of a political man, but I'm honored to be working with Gov. Crist to make our communities and state a safer place to live. Now let's get working on it."

For more information about the Law Offices of Dan Newlin call direct, 407-888-8000 (Central Florida) or 312-888-8000 (Chicago) or visit http://www. newlinlaw.com or http://www.newlinlaw.com/Chicago • Case No: 2012-CF-01117-A-O, 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, July 11, 2014 • Case No: 2013-CA-009-009074-O, 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, July 2, 2013 • Case No: 08-CA-0002852-ORL (34), 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, March 25, 2011

THE ORLANDO MAGIC

SEAWORLD ANNOUNCES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND KILLER WHALE ENVIRONMENT AND MORE THAN $10 MILLION IN NEW FUNDING FOR RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. announced that it plans to build new, first-of-its-kind killer whale environments and that it will fund new programs to protect ocean health and killer whales in the wild.The new projects will build on SeaWorld's legacy of providing stateof-the-art, innovative, homes for its animals, and will offer park guests unique and inspiring killer whale encounters for generations to come.

As part of its vision for the future, the company also pledged $10 million in matching funds for killer whale research and is embarking on a multi-million dollar partnership focused on ocean health, the leading concern for all killer whales and marine mammals. ”For 50 years, SeaWorld has transformed how the world views marine life. The unprecedented access to marine mammals that our parks provide has increased our knowledge of the ocean and inspired generations,” said Jim Atchison, Chief Executive Officer and President of SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. “Our new killer whale homes and research initiatives have just as bold a vision: to advance global understanding of these animals, to educate, and to inspire conservation efforts to protect killer whales in the wild.”

THEME PARKS

TRANSFORMATIONAL NEW ENVIRONMENTS The first of the new environments will be built at SeaWorld San Diego where the killer whale environment is planned to have a total water volume of 10 million gallons, nearly double that of the existing facility. With a planned maximum depth of 50 feet, surface area of nearly 1.5 acres and spanning more than 350 feet in length, the new environment will also have views exceeding 40 feet in height, providing guests with the world's largest underwater viewing experience of killer whales.

Named the Blue World Project because of its size and scope, the new environment will allow for increased engagement with SeaWorld experts through new enriching experiences and other interactive programs. The environment will enhance the educational experience for guests, foster deeper knowledge of killer whales and their ocean environment and inspire them to celebrate and conserve the natural world.

"Through up-close and personal encounters, the new environment will transform how visitors experience killer whales," said Atchison. "Our guests will be able to walk alongside the whales as if they were at the shore, watch them interact at the depths found in the ocean, or a birds-eye view from above."

Expanding on SeaWorld's legacy of lead-

ing-edge animal environment design, the enlarged environment will provide killer whales with even more dynamic opportunities. It will support the whales' broad range of behaviors and provide choices that can challenge the whales both physically and mentally. Among other things, it is planned to include a "fast water current" that allows whales to swim against moving water, thus functionally increasing speed and diversity. Innovative features focused on husbandry and animal care will offer SeaWorld's animal health professionals and independent scientists unique access to the whales that can lead to a better understanding and care of the animals both in the parks and in the wild.

The San Diego environment is expected to open to the public in 2018 with new killer whale homes to follow at SeaWorld Orlando and SeaWorld San Antonio.

KILLER WHALE RESEARCH As part of the Blue World Project, SeaWorld has committed $10 million in matching funds focused on threats to killer whales in the wild, especially those identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration related to the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale. That includes new projects already funded this year: one that will help to understand the hearing ranges of killer whales and the other that will provide insight into nutritional status and reproduction of the Southern Resident Killer Whale.

O BRASIL COMO UTOPIA E DRAMA?!

Ana Maria Ribas “É preciso que mantenhamos viva, na nossa consciência e no nosso desejo, a utopia de um amanhã mais justo numa sociedade melhor. A nossa arma é o próprio pensamento e o exercício crítico do nosso ofício, tanto na pesquisa como no ensino. Mas nosso lugar de combate não se limita apenas ao espaço universitário, inserindo-se também nas lutas mais amplas da educação, notadamente nos nossos velhos compromissos com a Escola Pública e com o ensino público - alavancas da construção de uma nova civilidade. (...) Nesta conjuntura, de tantas perplexidades, ouso encerrar sugerindo a retomada do Brasil como utopia, não para afirmar uma nacionalidade abstrata e anacrônica, mas para recuperar o Brasil: múltiplo, gene roso e plural ─ como instrumento e base para a construção da nossa própria humanidade e da nossa inserção num mundo mais fraterno, mais igualitário, mais livre e, portanto, mais humano.”

Conferência Inaugural do Prof. Dr. Afonso Carlos Marques dos Santos (in memoriam) no XVII Simpósio Nacional de História, proferida no dia 19 de julho de 1993.

Enlaces do tempo... Do tempo do relógio sem ponteiros que surge na noite do protagonista Isak Borg do filme “Morangos Silvestres” de Ingmar Bergmann. Do tempo como tecido invisível sobre o qual tudo podemos bordar, que marca a narrativa de Machado de Assis em “Esaú e Jacó”. Do tempo como poética da exis

tência humana que compõe o romance “Em busca do tempo perdido” de Marcel Proust.

Obras de fina beleza aqui se irmanam pelas várias reflexões do homem ante as inquietações suscitadas a cada tempo. Tempo que permite a todos nós recriar um imaginário de expectativas, desejos ou sonhos, ora individuais, ora coletivos, e, especialmente, rememorar acontecimentos para aproximar distâncias ou lidar com ausências. Porque ser homem não é uma nuança. Porém prática social e política que, a cada passo, busca, na polifonia de olha res, escutas e vozes, habitar o tempo. Tempo que, rompendo a linear datação cronológica, propicia, nas ilusórias fronteiras da lembrança e do esquecimento, encontros-desencontros da memória com a história. Experiências do presente do passado que nos são devolvidas, entre luzes e sombras, para apre(e)nder mais e estereotipar menos o Brasil e a sua história nesse ano de eleições. Trabalho esse que, mais do que tudo, é inserção no sistema de produzir a vida.

Os desafios sociopolíticos e ético-morais que se colocaram para a humanidade e, particularmente, para os brasileiros desde a transição do século XX para o século XXI desvelam as tramas redesenhadas na tecitura do tempo a reforçar a pertinência de uma reflexão sobre o discurso político. Discurso para o qual convergem paisagens

ideológicas, utópicas, míticas, simbólicas, que servem para estabelecer vínculos entre presente-passado-futuro e ofertar sentido à existência humana. Até porque sabemos que a política não ocupa um espaço estritamente definido pela razão, mas enuncia ambivalências que moldam os sentimentos do homem.

Se grandes foram os hiatos entre as utopias do novo Brasil e a realidade atingível, buscamos continuamente alguma idade do ouro capaz de instaurar a estabilidade e a permanência em cada tempo, dentro do qual possamos viver, sentir e sonhar. Tendo como referência que o discurso destina-se à ação do homem enquanto sujeito e objeto da história, em função das demandas colocadas em um presente, o novo como expressão que subjaz a todo discurso político, indica a enunciação, baseada em Reinhart Koselleck (2006, p. 74), do que se imagina como um tempo que deve ser melhor do que o anterior; portanto, que deve propiciar experiências outras que ainda não foram vivenciadas, seja individual, seja coletivamente.

Diante do difícil caminho dos brasileiros rumo à conquista da democracia e da cidadania plena, a partir da chamada Nova República, como construir um futuro promissor para o Brasil? A princípio, evocar a trajetória de homens públicos enriquece, do mesmo modo que legitima os projetos políticos anunciados pelos presidenciáveis, uma vez que nesse momento de debates-embates os homens refugiam-se em exemplos do passado, pois tomam de empréstimo seus nomes, ressignificam suas palavras de ordem e a linguagem, a fim de fazê-los reaparecer em uma outra cena da história.

Além do que tangencia discussões em torno de um projeto de desenvolvimento nacional capaz de assegurar, de fato, a autonomia do país em um mundo cada vez mais globalizado e, logo, interdependente.

Ainda que orientados por propostas políticas mais ou menos diferenciadas e também opostas, cada discurso constrói uniformidades ou apresenta alternativas em torno do que resultara historicamente em contradições e/ou oposições, além de se colocar grosso modo enquanto englobador do social. O objetivo primordial reside em ensejar um pacto político que, ao fundir utilitarismo, ideais e paixões, deve garantir o desenvolvimento com democracia − vocábulos norteadores de uma linguagem política difundida desde os anos 1950, sobre a qual vêm se efetuando múltiplas significações. O desenvolvimento, para além de noção afim ao progresso ou de conceito per se definido pelas teorias econômicas, transmuta-se em vocábulo político unificador da sociedade, que consagra a ideia simultânea de ação e trabalho construtivo, dois pilares discursivos que supõem iluminar a “marcha do Brasil” em direção ao futuro.

Os discursos políticos dos presidenciáveis, sob enfoques diversos e não isentos de tensões, reeditam novas velhas utopias. Utopias que se apresentam como redentoras da nação brasileira e instrumentos propulsores das transformações históricas a serem realizadas em prol do desenvolvimento capitalista. Do mesmo modo, que pressupõem a reordenação do espaço público e comprometem-se com a emergência de um outro ethos social, a fim de que a empreitada se torne algo factível. Enfim, utopias que − testemunhos (dis)sonantes das disputas e das relações de força − deixam entrever compromissos entre forças sociais no cenário político e associam-se, no geral, ao prosseguimento da obra modernizadora como instrumento capaz de reunir as forças e os talentos inventivos ainda esparsos de uma coletividade.

Além de materializarem a obra de reconstrução do país, fazendo com que a maioria dos brasileiros não se sinta mais “exilado” em sua própria terra, reverberando antigos dilemas da elaboração nacional entre nós. O que recontextualiza a percepção magistral de Joaquim Nabuco no passado oitocentista em torno da dupla ausência que nos confrontava: “a ausência do país e a ausência do mundo” (1981, p. 44). Isso amplia os horizontes de como os homens de Estado leem e representam a realidade histórica em diferentes momentos, para afirmar uma tradição cultural com base no pertencimento moldado por um ideal civilizatório que, por sua vez, precisa enfrentar o temor das desigualdades e tornar identificável o outro. Nesse sentido, às possíveis queixas e reivindicações que porventura possam nascer do mundo do trabalho, deve se contrapor a dignificação da labuta para promover o crescimento econômico. Este, ao acelerar o tempo e suprir aquelas ausências, por meio da tríade democracia-progresso-justiça social-, permitirá recuperar o que hoje se pensa perdido.

E converge para a elaboração de uma expectativa positiva do futuro, que deve parecer cada vez mais próximo e tangível. Um vir a ser!? Ou um déjà-vu?!

Considerando essa dimensão, o discurso político desvela os caminhos das disputas em torno da seleção do que as lideranças se lembram de e se esquecem de, mesmo que nem sempre tão consciente e previamente determinado assim, o que aponta para a intromissão da memória no campo político. Constituídos por matizes diversas, tais discursos constroem utopias de Brasil que se constituem seletiva e valorizante de determinadas ideias, imagens e sistema de valores aos quais foram apropriados e reconhecidos para autorrepresentar o social. Assim fazendo, esses mesmos discursos imprimem, guardadas as devidas singularidades, uma marca na cultura política ao envolver em uma rede metafórica o imaginário social e os sentimentos humanos quando confrontam o “bem” e o “mal”, resultantes da vida social, e se auto intitulam herdeiros legítimos das esperanças individuais e coletivas.

Nesse sentido, indo além de uma leitura de ocultamento das contradições sociais ou de legitimidade da autoridade, o discurso político serve de terreno à memória coletiva, pois ajuda a integrar a comunidade nacional em torno de acontecimentos que ela considera fundamentais à elaboração de sua identidade. E, também, os preserva, por meio do universo simbólico, para que eles se transformem em objetos de crença de todo um grupo. Tais discursos devem tornar possíveis as necessárias identificações governante-povo/indivíduo-coletividade; o que supõe reordenar a sociedade brasileira como lugar de pertença e de unidade e, assim, reinventar a nação.

Reconhecendo que o mais difícil é optar pelo esforço perturbador de explicação e esclarecimento, ao invés da glorificação ou da recriminação, precisa-se atentar às mudanças e permanências que caracterizam o processo de reconstrução e afirmação da democracia no país. E considerar, outro ssim, que não poderíamos experienciar e participar desse processo sem os fardos deixados por vinte e um anos de ditadura, que acabariam por se interpor ao compromisso político da chamada Nova República. Portanto, refletir sobre o Brasil, dentro da longa duração, recoloca em pauta, junto às opções políticas feitas ou ainda por se fazerem, o projeto de desenvolvimento a ser implementado em benefício dos interesses nacionais (refiro-me basicamente aos projetos do PT, do PSDB e da coligação PSB, PPS, PPL, PHS, PRP e PSL), considerando os problemas básicos que ainda persistem.

O desafio maior, válido para todos, reside em como articular o pleno funcionamento democratico ao crescimento econômico, tendo como pilar a adoção de políticas públicas que viabilizem, de direito e de fato, a equanimidade de recursos para o conjunto da federação, a justiça social e a cons trução de uma outra civilidade. Políticas públicas que devem transcender tanto uma concepção de assistencialismo útil à dominação e à perpetuação de interesses particulares quanto os discursos em torno da dívida doméstica, da inflação e por aí vai, que servem apenas para justificar mudanças pela via de reorientações técnico burocráticas.

Porquanto estas grifam os preconceitos, alimentam-se das ditas mazelas brasileiras e aprofundam a desumanização da sociedade, ao invés do enfrentamento das origens históricas de todos esses problemas e da real busca de novos rumos.

Estas questões obrigam-nos, antes de tudo, a conhecer e interrogar sobre as bases desses projetos nacionais. Identificados a estratégias político partidárias que são atravessadas por interesses compósitos de classes, tais projetos diferenciam-se, por exemplo, quanto à centralidade ou não do Estado na gestão de políticas sociais e diretrizes econômico-financeiras, inclusive quanto à definição de espaços de investimentos em larga escala do grande capital internacional que contrariam a soberania e as necessidades da maioria dos brasileiros.

Haja vista que, guardadas as oposições discursivas entre os mesmos, tais projetos apontam, cada qual a seu modo, para um eixo normativo que se associa à liturgia do novo correlacionada à retórica privilegiadora da técnica enquanto consolo da inferioridade e às promessas do desenvolvimento para curar problemas sociais seculares, como a miséria e a fome, e também resolver as desigualdades intra e inter-regionais.

A República diz respeito à construção, difusão e consolidação de regras, princípios e valores políticos e ético-morais que reúnem consensualmente as pessoas que vivem em uma sociedade, a fim de que elas possam agir e se fazer representar.

Importa, nesse sentido, indagar como a política – enquanto síntese universal das lutas, comportamentos e desejos humanos – ajudou a cimentar o edifício social e, por conseguinte, viabilizou o regime republicano e as condições da cidadania no Brasil, tendo como pano de fundo projetos de desenvolvimento que se auto intitularam e ainda se intitulam salvadores da nação.

Tais colocações remetem à percepção dos distanciamentos e aproximações do regime republicano

no Brasil com os princípios da democracia e desenvolvimento conjugados ao necessário avanço social, no âmbito das incertezas e desafios que envolvem a nossa contemporaneidade. As identidades fragmentam-se no aqui e agora; enquanto as noções de bem comum e de espaço público encontram-se debilitadas frente à ênfase no indivíduo e na defesa dos interesses privados. E, por conseguinte, convoca-nos a repensar a cidadania sob uma dupla vertente, qual seja: a garantia efetiva de direitos e a eficácia de mecanismos de representação e participação políticas para o conjunto da sociedade. Como a cidadania comporta uma dimensão pública fundamental à realização do homem e suas potencialidades e respalda atitudes cívicas, opções e práticas políticas, a discussão do Brasil em ano de eleições, sob uma perspectiva multidecenal, permite problematizar o drama que ainda envolve a realidade histórico-cultural do povo brasileiro. E, igualmente, abre sendas que esboçam uma utopia − desejo legível em filigrana −, que pode oferecer diferentes “estruturas de acolhimento às esperanças colectivas” (BRONISLAW BACKSO, 1985, vol. 5, p. 346) e instaurar outra pers pectiva de República e de sociedade.

Refletir sobre o discurso político em ano de eleições implica apreendê-lo como inseparável das discussões acerca do Brasil que almejamos construir. Em meio às lamúrias, à ênfase nos fracassos e à tecla da improbidade, a gerar tantos estereótipos, minimizamos a relevância dos espaços da sociedade civil e difunde-se uma noção equivo cada de gestão pública. Esta fica circunscrita a problemas de conduta e supostamente descolada da sociedade, negativando o campo do político e enfraquecendo o verdadeiro sentido da cidadania, ambos fundamentais à produção da vida social.

Demarca-se, sim, o temor de enfrentar o presente do passado, apegados que muitos estão a uma posição exacerbadamente individualista. Além de perpetuar ressentimentos que esvaziam o nosso direito em exercer a crítica positiva

como um dos pilares da própria condição humana. Será que não estamos a experimentar uma atitude de ausência daquela fértil “imaginação para a verdade da realidade” e a abrir mão do “espirito poético” que Goethe, em um outro tempo, indagava-se em conversa com seu amigo Eckermann?

A luta recomeça nas urnas e continua muito além delas, ora permeada pelos enlaces de tantos tempos. Enlaces que, unindo história, memória, arte, poesia e política, possibilitam desnaturalizar a ideia do presente como resultado linear de um passado transcorrido, a fim de que seja possível reinventar o Brasil de todos os brasileiros. Aquele Brasil imaginado pelo historiador e mestre Afonso - como assim o chamávamos - cujo legado maior foi ensinar aos seus alunos a importância do combate, da ousadia e do exercício crítico para resistir à alienação, à passividade e ao cinismo.

Encerro essas reflexões com uma referência especial de agradecimento e carinho a Laiz Rodrigues por compartilhar o seu sonho, acreditando nos diálogos entre visões de mundo e de homem enquanto possibilidades para trilharmos outras estradas e assim prosseguirmos nos espaços possíveis da vida.

Dialogo

Tempos difíceis, tempos inquietantes. Tempos supostamente a-históricos. Como ressignificar a humanidade do homem? Como compreender o político como campo de responsabilidade e ação coletivas que ousa a utopia de uma sociedade melhor, acessível para todos? Como educar na perspectiva da cidadania, da alteridade e da tolerância? São indagações que trazem em si a certeza de que sempre existem caminhos possíveis de criação e interlocução.

ÁFRICA VIVA - Entrevista de Suzana Jardim - Zaza Conheci o Luis e a Fanta há mais de 10 anos, quando eu produzia o fanzine PNOB no Brasil. Em cada edição um lançamento e um reconhecimento especial aos talentos da nova geração do novo milênio.

Nesta rica pesquisa encontrei estas almas profundas, dignos de todo o respeito em suas vivências e desafios. Sempre é incrível te-los por perto com seus tambores, cânticos e danças... com tanta riqueza que agora faço questão de lhes apresentar e permitir um conhecimento internacional a altura dos valores que tanto podem nos ensinar.

Em 93 eu cursava o primeiro ano de Musicoterapia e um músico do Senegal realizou um workshop de improvisação, trazendo consigo um Djembê. Naquele momento eu tive certeza absoluta que queria tocar djembê. Consegui meu primeiro instrumento em 95 e assisti o filme “Djembefolá” de Laurent Chevalier, sobre a vida de Mamady Keita , na TV Cultura do Brasil, sendo o maior incentivo para que eu fosse até a Guiné em 2000.

Eu havia criado a Biomúsica Sem Fronteiras assim que me formei em Musicoterapia e já fazia trabalhos humanitários de batucada com moradores de rua e deficientes.

Em dezembro de 2002 chegamos ao Brasil e isso foi um grande choque.... perceber que estamos tão atrasados na questão de racismo, de espaços culturais para a arte africana, e o preconceito com tambores.

Começamos do zero, apostando nos shows e oficinas , palestras e jantares culturais até formalizarmos o Instituto África Viva. Fanta herdou um terreno na Guiné e começamos a construir a sede do Instituto com recursos dos shows, mas infelizmente não conseguimos terminar o telhado e a chuva destruiu as paredes que já estavam levantadas.

As ações previstas para este núcleo são de intercâmbio com o Brasil e com o mundo, em projetos que vão desde educação, cultura, economia criativa, pro-

Em 2012 fomos convidados a representar o Brasil nas festas de independência, realizando shows para 20 mil pessoas e autoridades no Palácio do Povo, em Conacri. São muitos desafios e dificuldades, mas temos a convicção que vamos conseguir aproximar cada vez mais o Brasil e a Guiné (África Oeste) e promover diálogos e melhorias tanto na questão estrutural e desenvolvimento humano, como nas questões sociais de racismo e valorização de nossas raízes afro-brasileiras.

Ainda mais agora Em primeiro lugar se situar em relação à nossas he ranças africanas, da maneira mais realista com a ação do vírus Ebola tendo a possível sobre o que é o imaginário brasileiro Guiné como foco? sobre a África, onde estão as conexões materiais / imateriais, e o que esses países da África sabem sobre o Brasil. A SABEDORIA ancestral africana é a maior riqueza, é o maior legado deixado à humanidade, mas que ainda não foi totalmente reconhecido nem descoberto. O povo Man dinga (Malinkês, Djulás, Bambarás, e mais dezenas de etnias), em 1222 d.C. já tinha conceitos humanitários, éticos, educacionais muito mais avançados do que a nossa atualidade ocidental.

Em decretos, já instituíam o respeito pela vida humana, a igualdade, a importância da família e da preservação do meio ambiente, da ética nas batalhas, no tratamento cordial com os estrangeiros, da honra, justiça, solidariedade, coragem, arte, alegria, o respeito de forma ge ral e principalmente com os mais velhos, como bases de uma sociedade saudável.

Tenho reparado nas descobertas atuais de nutricionistas, dos super alimentos, suas propriedades e vejo que essa região da África já sabia de tudo isso.... Tem o Gergelim, o Mille (tipo Sorgo), o gengibre, o hibisco, a folha de mandioca, entre muitos outros.

Posso dizer que a cada dia, descobrimos um pouco mais de tantos Saberes e Ancestralidade, mas também das respostas e superações quanto às necessidades atuais. A arte como elemento agregador e de cura social é o que fui buscar, e é realmente infinito este conhecimento na região.

A cultura tradicional não está extinta, mas corre sérios riscos a cada dia, pois os grandes Mestres são requisitados a viajarem tanto para a capital quanto para o exterior e as novas gerações nem sempre dispõem de alguém que tenha tanto conhecimento, apesar de que a cultura tradicional não é estática, isto é, novos ritmos, canções e danças nascem espontaneamente dentro daquela linguagem.

Não há nenhuma medida sendo tomada quanto à preservação dos ritmos mais antigos, das identidades de cada região ou aldeias senão alguns poucos Mestres que retornam à Guiné todos os anos para movimentarem a economia, trazendo alunos do mundo todo, quanto ensinar às novas gerações, na prática, que é importantíssimo preservar cultura pois é também uma questão de sustentabilidade.

Muitas pessoas do mundo todo se interessaram pelo virtuosismo dessa arte, foram à África passar de 1 a 3 meses, mas quando é para realmente “comprar a briga” em relação à exploração desordenada da madeira dos tambores que se exporta em containers, ou mesmo desenvolver ações mais sociais visando a melhoria da qualidade de vida, a saúde, a sustentabilidade , aí as máscaras de exploração caem por terra. A cultura, tão rica em valores sociais e humanos, acaba se tornando apenas uma “comodities” . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqpxRuZMHvU (Fanta Konatê 2013) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-TwozNS9UM (Donabá Fanta 2014) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSbJkjlIZv0 (Metrópolis 2014)

Em 2001 eu desenvolvi um projeto de Biomúsica com Serra Leones nos campos de refugiados da região das florestas da Guiné, em Kissidougou que fica próxima à Gueckedou e à fronteira com Serra Leoa e Libéria, exatamente onde iniciou o surto do Ebola. Atribuo o Ebola à guerra , e toda a devastação social , humana que ela causa, onde se leva décadas para se limpar o estrago. A região é muito carente de saneamento e a estrutura básica de saúde não acompanhou as migrações de pessoas dos outros países, onde muitos nem falam as mesmas línguas, acarretando um problema maior na hora de se realizar os procedimentos de combate e conscientização.

Agora que está nesta situação do surto de Ebola, acredito que seja uma grande oportunidade para todas as pessoas que amam a África a se engajarem e haver uma mobilização maior, iniciando pelas ongs Médicos Sem Fronteiras e outras que fazem um ótimo trabalho. h t t p : / / w w w. o n e . o r g / i n t e r n a t i o n al/blog /ebola-support-the-humanitarian-response/?akid=5966.5888249. u X A Hrq & rd = 1 & t = 1 & ut m _ m e d iu m = e mail&utm_source=email Nós já estamos preparando ações e projetos para esse engajamento, sendo um deles , a TV África Viva de Web TV.

Nesses 17 anos de Biomúsica e 12 da Fanta Konatê no Brasil e excursionando pelo mundo, desenvolvemos inúmeros serviços que vão desde a as atuações de Musicoterapia a jantares africanos, palestras , oficinas de Dança, Percussão, círculo de Tambores, construção de instrumentos, shows multimídia, performances, vivências de Biomúsica em empresas, formação de multiplicadores da Rede África Viva, viagens culturais à Guiné e gostaríamos de reunir todos esses "cases" em um só canal de comunicação e interação com o público.

O caminho que queremos realizar agora é o da TV África Viva que é a combinação de todo o potencial artístico/cultural conectado com iniciativas sociais, humanitárias, visando informar, ensinar, conscientizar, capacitar, mobilizar e contribuir para a aproximação entre Brasil e Guiné, promovendo o desenvolvimento sustentável e o que mais for urgente.

Levamos para os shows toda essa intenção, buscando excelência na performance, desde os vídeos projetados , a luz, quanto ao trabalho minucioso com cada música e dança , onde a interação com o público tem sido ótima. Desde os primeiros shows, eu já acreditava que o trabalho artístico seria o "cartão de visitas" para convidar e engajar as pessoas nas ações sociais e humanitárias; amamos o que fazemos e estamos exatamente neste momento de começar o "Chamado da África Viva".

Espaço ArtRio de Pensamento

Art Bengaluru, one of the most reputed Art Festival's in India, has been created to showcase a wide spectrum of art forms and provide a platform for artists (both Indian & International) to exhibit their works.

Launched in 2010, Art Bengaluru began with a vision to promote works of art and cultivate a thriving art community in the city. The First Year of Art Bengaluru saw 15 Galleries across the city participate in the week-long festival that also screened a series of Short Films, in addition to an Art Competition for Children.

The Second Edition featured 15 Art Galleries from across the country with the highlight being the inaugural Luxury Art Auction. The Third Edition showcased 15 top National & International Art Galleries, a Children's Art Competition, Workshops, Speaker Sessions and the iconic International Art & Luxury Auction.

Each year, the festival strives to rise a notch higher than the last, and in 2013 the much-awaited event saw over 100 National & International Artists showcase a diverse collection of artworks while the Auction saw on block works of celebrated artists such as M.F. Hussain, S.H. Raza, F.N. Souza, amongst others. The Fourth Edition also introduced Berserk - a unique Arts Conference for Children in addition to the trademark activities.

The event will showcase 13 top galleries including one from New York & Vietnam. It will also feature one of China's most popular artists, Liu Bolin and his work, for the first-time in India.

Known as "The Invisible Man", Bolin will be exhibiting the legendary "Hiding in the City" series - photographic works that began as performance art in 2005, apart from unveiling a creation exclusively for Art Bengaluru 2014.

Christel House India, engaged in providing free education, nutrition & healthcare to impoverished children in Bangalore, will create an exclusive installation based on the Renaissance theme for the event.

The Christel House installation will be created by High School Students from its Bangalore branch. About the Theme: The 5th edition of Art Bengaluru aims to reflect upon the Renaissance period, one of the most prominent art periods in Europe, by highlighting some of the best works of art from

around the world. The Collection at UB City, this year, will be transformed into a haven of European Art, giving us a glimpse of the past, by bringing alive the Renaissance period.

The rich chapters of European Art History will be the inspiration for the décor, theme and installations within UB City, whose architecture already resonates an international theme.

With mashaal lighting, a frame entrance, the Colosseum as the backdrop for the evening’s entertainment, the festival is all set to transport one back in time to one of the most enriching eras of European Art, showcased by a life-size book on the various famous paintings, junk art of paintings and an enormous scroll with information on the era.

The word ‘Renaissance’ is a French word meaning rebirth and refers to the revival of art and culture in Europe after the Middle Ages and to the actual revolution, focused around one of the city-states of Italy, Florence. This revolution was the resurgence of creative study and the glorification of artists, painters and sculptures. Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci & Raphael were some of the famous artists from this period.

Germany reunified. 25 years on

PAINTING THE BERLIN WALL The Berlin Wall has long been torn down. But there are still original pieces 25 years after the fall. In Berlin-Teltow you can even paint on them yourself.

Elmar Prost clearly has a lot of fun giving visitors tours through his Wall parkas he goes through a gap between two colourfully painted Wall pieces. Up until 25 years ago, these divided East and West Berlin from each other.

There were no gaps and no possibility of getting through them. Now they are surrounded by weeds on an industrial wasteland in Berlin-Teltow.

Elmar Prost is the CEO of a company that has operated cement works in the capital. An employee came up with the idea of putting together wall pieces that had become useless after the fall into giant bulk material warehouses. A fantastic idea - the army was happy to be rid of them. After the end of the company's activities, Prost decided to give painters the opportunity to paint the original pieces a quarter century after the fall (mauerteilebemalen.de). For six months, you can then paint a piece of the Wall on the company premises for 500 Euros and then take it with you. "Sometimes families paint together and put their piece in their garden," Prost says. Museums and schools all around the world also show interest in the historical relics.

Four colourful Wall pieces have been given in donation to in the city of Uijeongbu in divided Korea since March 2014.

Close to the North Korea border, they silently remind visitors that a peaceful reunification of countries is possible.

2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in 2015 Germany will be celebrating 25 years as a reunified nation. The reunification of the two German states gave a huge boost to tourism in Germany.

The wealth of new and exciting cultural attractions and captivating natural landscapes in Germany inspires travel-

lers from all over the world. This year the German National Tourist Board (GNTB) is placing German unity at the heart of its international sales and marketing activities, showcasing the great variety of tourist attractions available in Destination Germany 25 years on from the fall of the Wall.

2014 marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and in 2015 Germany will be celebrating 25 years as a reunified nation.

These events opened up new destinations in Germany for travellers from all over the world and gave the country’s inbound tourism industry an unprecedented boost.

WORLD-PREMIÈRE: THE ALL-NEW VOLVO XC90 Months of speculation ended today after Volvo Cars unveiled its all-new Volvo XC90, delivering on its promise to introduce a visually striking, premium quality seven seat SUV with world leading safety features, new powertrain technologies, an unrivalled combination of power and fuel efficiency and a superlative interior finish.

Three years in the making and part of a USD 11bn investment programme, the new XC90 marks the beginning of a new chapter in Volvo history, capturing its future design direction, incorporating its own range of new technologies and utilising its new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) technology.

“This is one of the most important days in our history. We are not just launching a car but re-launching our brand. This day marks a new era for our company. The XC90 paves the way for a portfolio of exciting new cars to come in the following years,” said Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group.

The limited First Edition of XC90 includes 1,927 individually numbered cars that celebrate the year Volvo was founded and, for the first time in history, they will only be available for sale via digital commerce at www.volvocars.com from September 3rd at 16.00 CET. “Those who want to be among the first ones to own the best SUV in the world have to act fast.

The huge interest in the all-new XC90 indicates that the First Edition will sell out quickly,” said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service of Volvo Car Group.

APRESENTAÇÃO MUNDIAL: O NOVO VOLVO XC90

The First Edition cars, which have uniquely numbered tread plates and a distinctive badge on the tailgate, are powered by a high-performance petrol or diesel engine from Volvo Cars’ new four-cylinder Drive-E powertrain family.

The supercharged and turbocharged T6 has an output of 320 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, while the D5 twin turbo diesel engine has 225 hp and 470 Nm. The engines are teamed with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission.

Meses de especulação conheceram o seu término hoje, após a Volvo Cars ter revelado o seu novo Volvo XC90, dando cumprimento à sua promessa de introduzir um SUV visualmente marcante de qualidade premium e sete lugares, com atributos de segurança líderes à escala mundial, novas tecnologias de conjuntos propulsores, uma imbatível combinação de potência e eficiência de consumo e um acabamento interior de excelência.

The Onyx Black exterior and 8-spoke, 21-inch Inscription wheels are combined with an interior featuring nappa leather seats in Amber, a Charcoal leather dashboard and Linear Walnut inlays.

Volvo’s new face The new XC90 will be the first of its cars to carry the company’s new more prominent iron mark, which has the iconic arrow elegantly aligned with the diagonal slash across the grille.

Together with the T-shaped “Thor’s Hammer” DRL lights, the iron mark introduces an entirely new, distinctive and confident face for Volvo’s forthcoming generation of cars.

The XC90’s larger bonnet with its new topography, the beltline and the sharpened shoulders connecting with the tattoo-like, new rear lights are other important design signatures that will be mirrored across the range.

“The overall impression, both exterior and interior, has a strong connection to the key elements of the Swedish lifestyle: the generous space, the celebration of light and the focus on wellbeing,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design of Volvo Car Group.

Após três anos na forja e como parte de um programa de investimento de 11 mil milhões de dólares, o novo XC90 assinala o início de um novo capítulo na história da Volvo, apontando a direção em termos de design futuro a seguir pela marca, integrando a sua própria gama de novas tecnologias e recorrendo à sua nova tecnologia SPA (Scalable Product Architecture).

"Este é um dos dias mais importantes da nossa história. Não estamos apenas a lançar um automóvel, mas a relançar a nossa marca. O dia de hoje marca uma nova era para a nossa empresa. O XC90 abre caminho a uma carteira de novos empolgantes automóveis que se seguirão nos próximos anos", revelou Håkan Samuelsson, Presidente e CEO do Grupo Volvo Car. A Primeira Edição limitada do XC90 inclui 1927 automóveis numerados individualmente, que celebram o ano em que a Volvo foi fundada e, numa inovação à escala global, estarão exclusivamente à venda via comércio eletrónico em www.volvocars.com a partir de 3 de setembro, às 16h00. “Quem quiser estar entre os primeiros a comprar o melhor SUV do mundo terá de agir com prontidão.

O gigantesco interesse no novo XC90 indica que a Primeira Edição irá esgotar rapidamente", assegurou Alain Visser, Vice-presidente Sénior de Marketing, Vendas e Serviço ao Cliente do Grupo Volvo Car. Com equipamento completo Os automóveis Primeira Edição, com placas antiderrapantes individualmente numeradas e um emblema distintivo no portão traseiro, são alimentados por um motor a diesel ou gasolina de alta performance da nova família de conjuntos propulsores Drive-E de quatro cilindros da Volvo Cars.

rasgo diagonal que atravessa a grelha.

Juntamente com as luzes diurnas em forma de "T" ao estilo "Martelo de Thor", o símbolo do ferro introduz uma nova face, distintiva e confiante, para a próxima geração de automóveis Volvo.

A unidade T6 sobrealimentada e turbocomprimida oferece um débito de 320 cv e um binário máximo de 400 Nm, enquanto o biturbo D5 a diesel se apresenta com 225 cv e 470 Nm. Os motores fazem-se acompanhar de uma suave transmissão automática de oito velocidades.

O capot maior com a sua nova topografia, a linha de cintura e os ombros afilados que fazem a ligação com os novos faróis traseiros tipo tatuagem são outras características de design importantes do XC90 que iremos ver repercutidas em toda a gama. O XC90 tem disponível uma grande variedade de jantes até 22 polegadas.

O exterior Preto Ónix e as jantes Inscription de 8 raios e 21 polegadas combinam-se com um interior onde figuram bancos em couro napa Âmbar, um painel de instrumentos em couro Carvão e aplicações em nogueira Linear.

"A impressão geral, seja do exterior ou do interior, é de forte ligação com os elementos chave do estilo de vida sueco: o espaço generoso, a celebração da luz e o enfoque no bem-estar", comentouThomas Ingenlath, Vice-presidente Sénior de Design do Grupo Volvo Car.

A nova face da Volvo O novo XC90 será o primeiro Volvo a transportar consigo o novo ícone da marca (símbolo do ferro) mais proeminente, com a emblemática seta da Volvo elegantemente alinhada com o

PAPER SHOOT PRODUCES THE WORLD'S ONLY PAPER CAMERA DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR KIDS

In July of 2013, George Lin's dream came true when Paper Shoot, the company he founded, introduced its first paper camera, a product that is capturing the hearts of both children and adults alike.

Paper Shoot cameras are developed with a child's perspective in mind, from the inside to the outside of the camera. Each camera features a water-repellent case made of paper, which can be decorated with everything from cartoon characters to cute animals to bright colors and even the owner's own artwork, which encourages children to explore their own creativity. Just 12-millimeters thick and weighing only 80 grams (including the weight of two AAA batteries), the camera has a sturdy cardboard body that is strong enough to withstand accidental drops. In addition, the camera's approachable price tag of around US$50 puts parents' minds at ease about letting their kids use these cameras.

Designed to be simple and easy to use, Paper Shoot cameras have four built-in photo effects that automatically adjust to lighting conditions, enabling children to effortlessly shoot their own masterpieces. Older children can further explore their own photography skills by using an external lens.

With a background in the technology industry, Lin knows how to make the best use of Taiwan's robust manufacturing supply chain and strength in high-tech components, and Paper Shoot sources its image sensors, camera lenses, and paper pulp from the same suppliers that work with Apple.

Though Paper Shoot was launched just a year ago, it has already cooperated with Sanrio's Hello Kitty and even Taiwan's Presidential Palace to develop customized cameras. It continues to research and develop the next generation of paper camera, with efforts being made to increase the pixel resolution to 5 million and improve the camera's anti-vibration feature. In addition, plans are being made for a paper case that can be used with Lego bricks, so that users can create an even more personalized camera Right now, Paper Shoot is looking for international partners, and it is George Lin's wish that one day soon, children around the world will be able to use his paper cameras to capture memories of their childhood in photographs.

KIDS GADGETS Taiwanese entrepreneur George Lin was born into a traditional Taiwanese family.

As the youngest of six children, he grew up in humble circumstances and never got the chance to enjoy more expensive items, like cameras.

In fact, as Lin grew up, he had only a few childhood photos, most of which were of poor quality. He would watch enviously as other people would flip through their own photo albums or pose for family portraits. One day, he told himself, I will change all of this!

NORDSTROM LAUNCHES GIVE-BACK BRAND TREASURE&BOND

Five percent of net profits will support nonprofits that empower women and girls Nordstrom announced the launch of the company's first-ever private label giveback brand, Treasure&Bond, which will be available in the TBD department at 86 stores around the country and on nordstrom.com. Drawing from classic wardrobe staples - think washed denim, soft plaid shirts, tees and moto jackets - Treasure&Bond offers customers an updated, lived-in and vintage feel, at a great price; for example, all denim is under $100. Five percent of net profits of Treasure&Bond will go to nonprofits that work to empower women and girls.

"Providing our customers the latest trends in fashion and giving back to the communities that support us are both long-standing commitments for us at Nordstrom," said Mark Tritton, president of Nordstrom Product Group. "Treasure&Bond is the perfect way for us to bring the two together for our customers--we're giving them an opportunity to look great while also helping support organizations that are really making a difference in our communities."

Treasure&Bond's first beneficiary is Girls Inc., an organization that inspires girls to be strong, smart and bold. Girls Inc. provides more than 138,000 girls across the U.S. and Canada with life-changing programs and experiences and give girls the tools they need to boldly face challenges.

"When we created Treasure&Bond and decided it would be a brand that gives back, we wanted to support organizations that would really mean something to the young women who will be the majority of our Treasure&Bond customers," said Tritton. "Partnering with nonprofits that empower girls and young women just seemed like such a natural fit and we're so glad to launch this line with a fantastic organization like Girls Inc." "Girls Inc. is focused on giving girls the right support to succeed," said Judy Vredenburgh, president and CEO of Girls Inc. "This includes helping girls discover and develop their inherent strengths, giving them trained mentors who guide them, and showing girls what's possible for their futures. Our ultimate hope is that with Girls Inc. in her corner, every girl can be healthy, educated, and resilient. We are pleased to partner with Nordstrom as they launch this great brand that inspires just that."

DEVI KROELL PRESENTS FALL WINTER 2014/15 ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN Accessories brand Devi Kroell presents their Fall Winter 2014/15 advertising campaign, featuring model Kristine Froseth, styled by Elissa Santisi and shot by the former art director of Vogue USA, Danko Steiner.

The campaign was inspired by Carlo Mollino, an Italian architect and designer who became famous in the 60’s. “It is a modern take on Mollino, with a modern woman,” said Danko Steiner. “The set has different abstracted references to Mollino’s aesthetic. Hues of reds and burgundies, purples and blues, mixed with wood, which all make a perfect and modern backdrop for Devi Kroell’s Fall Winter 2014/15 collection.”

The sensuality of Mollino’s forms, the colors and textures of his interiors, and his unique shapes of wood in furniture design--all gracefully complement the extraordinary exotic skins, including degrade crocodile, metallic lizard, cosmo python, and metallic stingray, which Devi Kroell presents this fall in warm colors of black tulip and cognac, enhancing the intensity of limoges, emerald and grey.

A hint of metallic reflections adds elegance.

Devi Kroell combines flawless Italian craftsmanship and the highest quality materials with modern design. Not relying on logo or hardware, the studio of Devi Kroell allows their innovative designs to showcase fine exotic skins.
