Art through the Continents
Project Director: Katia Miller
The core of Art through the Continents is
to provide engaging experiences for individuals, organizations
and communities using the stories and form of modern
and ancient arts from around the world to explore who
we are, the world we live in and our ability to create
powerful outcomes and foster our individual expression,
community connections and global awareness.
Currently Katia is focused on transforming
her original Art through the Continents curriculum into
a deeper and wider frame.This frame includes:
-
Collecting
stories from artists and art historians from
around the world describing their art form and
the artist journey of artists in their region into
a guidebook and,
-
Developing a guidebook for individuals
and educators to share these stories and offer reflections,
-
Exercises and projects to connect
these stories to each individual; and
- Expanding the existing curriculum
to include these global voices and distributing the
curriculum and methodology to various audiences.

The Trial of Osama bin Laden
The production of the play, co-written
with Peter Goldmark, opened in Minneapolis-St. Paul on
February 17 for a three-week run. The following is a
single paragraph summary Peter wrote for use with those
who need a simple way to understand what it's about:
Osama bin Laden is captured and put on trial in New York
City. An ACLU lawyer defends him. The White House guides
the prosecution. And Osama himself plans how to continue
his jihad from a prison cell. The intersection of these
forces and characters produced a drama that throws harsh
light on the era of terrorism we have now entered, and
commands the attention of all of us who will have to
live through it.
