SUMMARY:La Blouse Roumaine Magazine launch Dec. 12
DESCRIPTION:From Romanians of DC:You are cordially invited on Wednesday\, December 12 at 5:30 pm at the Textile Museum (701 21st Street\, NW\, Washington\, DC) to attend the official launch of the brand new La Blouse Romaine Magazine presented by Andreea Tănăsescu\, the founder of the Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse social movement and President of IA Association. The launch will be followed by a moderated discussion on the importance of the folk costume as an identity marker and a source of identity and of inspiration with: Dorian Branea\, President of the Romanian Cultural Institute in the U.S.; Sonia Coman-Ernstoff¸ Fellow at Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery\, and Bogdan Banu\, Founder of Romanians of DC. The event will also feature a collection of traditional Romanian folk costumes. \nCultural diplomacy takes many shapes and forms. The forms and ornaments found on the Romanian folk blouses\, are just the latest and probably most unusual manifestation of what cultural diplomacy can be. Unbeknown to most\, the Romanian blouse is truly an universal cultural icon. Worn by celebrities\, part of cultural revolutions such as the hippie movement in the 60s\, loved by famous fashion designers world-wide\, and an inspiration for famous artists or movie characters\, the Romanian blouses trace their origins back to the ancient civilizations found along the Danube river thousands of years ago. They preserve a part of the language of signs and symbols specific to the mythical thinking of those times. \nIn 2013 a truly global social and cultural movement was born in Romania centered on the Romanian Blouse. It was a movement born out of a desire to preserve and pass on to a new generation this symbol so central to the Romanian identity. Romanians around the world were asked to post a photo or a selfie wearing their blouses on social media as a way to reach and educate a wider public. In just six short years the movement has grown exponentially to some 200\,000 member\, celebrated annually on six continents\, over 60 countries and some 300 cities. The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse is now celebrated like a national holiday in both Romania and the Republic of Moldova and has been recognized by governments in Washington\, DC\, Canada and elsewhere. \nAndreea Tănăsescu is the creator and founder of La blouse roumaine movement that has contributed decisively to the rebirth and renewed interest in traditional Romanian culture on a global scale. She is the creator of the Universal Romanian Blouse Day\, Brâncuși Week and Cultural Fashion Day and the President of La blouse roumaine IA Association\, a non-governmental organization that promotes the preservation of the Romanian textile heritage\, cultural and sustainable fashion. In 2017 Andreea started Give Credit that militates for culturally responsible design and now she is currently working on the development La blouse roumaine magazine. She studied Law and Public Relations and she has been involved in the fashion\, media and movie industry for more than 20 years as a talent agent and casting director for major international film productions as The Fall by Tarsem Singh\, Callas Forever by Franco Zeffirelli\, Amen by Costa Gavras\, Modigliani by Mick Davis. \nDorian Branea\, cultural diplomat\, cultural entrepreneur\, author and translator\, is currently the director of Romanian Cultural Institute in New York. Previously he was a Fellow at the Central European University (2003-2004)\, Founding Director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in Warsaw (2006-2010) and Director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in London (2010-2018). He also served between 2012 and 2014 as President of the London association of cultural institutes from the EU countries (EUNIC). He studied English at the Western University of Timișoara\, followed by graduate work in International Relations at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and Negotiation at Oxford University’s Said Business School. Ph.D. in English and American Studies. He is the author of The United States of Romanians published in 2016 at Humanitas. \nSonia Coman-Ernstoff is a Romanian-born art historian and poet. She received a B.A. from Harvard and a Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia\, where she taught an undergraduate seminar on the soft power of ceramic arts across world cultures. As the Anne van Biema Fellow at the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery\, Dr. Coman is currently preparing a book manuscript on the formation and legacy of Charles Lang Freer’s collection of Japanese ceramics. Her poetry has been published and awarded internationally. Her latest book\, Passages\, was shortlisted for The Haiku Foundation’s Touchstone Distinguished Book Award.

SUMMARY:Romania under Communism: Paradox & Degeneration is topic for annual Ion Raţiu lecture\, with Dr. Deletant\, Feb. 5
DESCRIPTION:Communism has cast a long shadow over Romania. The passage of little over a quarter of a century since the overthrow in December 1989 of Romania’s last Communist leader\, Nicolae Ceaușescu\, offers a symbolic standpoint from which to penetrate that shadow and to throw light upon the entire period of Communist rule in the country. \nDr. Dennis Deletant\, in his latest book Romania under Communism: Paradox & Degeneration\, explores how Romania’s trajectory as a Communist state within the Soviet bloc was unlike that of any other. Please join CERES for our annual annual Ion Raţiu lecture\, a book talk with Dr. Deletant: \nTuesday\, February 5th\n5:30-7:30 PM\nMortara Center for International Studies\nReception to follow \n\nFull even listing is here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/romania-under-communism-paradox-degeneration-tickets-54978076908 \n  \n\n\nAbout Dr. Dennis Deletant:\nDr. Deletant is currently Visiting Ion Ratiu Professor of Romanian Studies at Georgetown University and Emeritus Professor of Romanian Studies at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies\, University College\, London. He is the author of several monographs and volumes of studies on the recent history of Romania\, among them Ceauşescu and the Securitate: Coercion and Dissent in Romania\, 1965-89 (London; New York\, 1996)\, Communist Terror in Romania: Gheorghiu-Dej and the Police State\, 1948-1965\, (London; New York\, 1999)\, Ion Antonescu. Hitler’s Forgotten Ally (London: New York\, 2006)\, and British Clandestine Operations in Romania during the Second World War. In October of this year he was awarded the Order of the Star of Romania\, the country’s highest civilian honor\, by President Klaus Iohannis\, for his contribution to Romanian studies. \nAbout Ion Raţiu:\nIon Augustin Nicolae Raţiu was born in Transylvania in 1917 and was the son of Augustin Raţiu\, a successful lawyer who became leader of the Romanian National Party. In 1940\, Ion Raţiu joined Romania’s Foreign Service and went to London as a chancellor at the Romanian Legation. Later that year\, Romania’s decision to align with the Axis powers appalled Raţiu\, who resigned his post and obtained political asylum in Britain. \nIn exile in London after the Communist takeover of Romania in 1946\, Raţiu threw himself into the struggle against communism\, becoming a regular contributor to the Romanian Service of the BBC\, Radio Free Europe\, and Voice of America. In 1957\, his book Policy for the West radically challenged contemporary western views of the nature of communism. He went into shipping and later into real estate\, and continued publishing. He returned to Romania in 1990 where he had a failed bid for the presidency. He did become a member of the Romanian Parliament and served as both deputy speaker of the Chamber of Deputies and as Romania’s roving ambassador to NATO. Ion Raţiu died in January 2000. His funeral\, in his home town of Turda\, was attended by more than 10\,000 people.

SUMMARY:Martisor and Women's Day celebration in New York
DESCRIPTION:Romanian Cultural Institute is hosting a celebration of women’s creativity and ever-surprising beauty in an evening of great music and visual arts! Let’s observe together two of the most beloved traditions of our calendar – the “Mărțișor” and International Women’s Day – with an irresistible program of sing-along classics\, from Maria Tănase to Janis Joplin and everything in between\, performed by soprano Dika Philosoph\, singer-songwriter Cezar Giosan\, guitarist Dan Purcea\, and violinist Ramon Radosav. \nAnd\, as a timely gift\, enjoy a sneak preview of “The Atlas of Beauty” Exhibition\, opening at the United Nations at the end of March – a fabulous exploration of infinite forms of feminine beauty by photographic sensation Mihaela Noroc. \nThe event is organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute in partnership with the Permanent Mission of Romania to the United Nations. \n“Mărțișor”\, a diminutive of the Romanian name of the month of March (pronounced [mərt͡siˈʃor])\, refers to an old and very popular Romanian tradition of Roman origin and possibly even older. The name is also given to little talismans with red and white strings attached\, which are believed to bring good luck and prosperity and are offered by men and children to their mothers\, wives\, sisters or female friends and colleagues. Like the original Roman celebration\, which honored Mars as the god of agriculture\, “Mărțișor” heralds the coming of Spring. \nOriginally a Socialist celebration and later also adopted by the United Nations\, International Women’s Day\, held on the 8th of March\, has gained great popularity in Romania as the very date to honor womanhood and motherhood.

SUMMARY:ROFest: 2nd edition of Chicago Romanian Film festival
DESCRIPTION:ROFest Trends 2019 is on! 12-14 April\, at AMC River East 21 in Chicago. \nOrganizers: www.rofest.com \nAfter our successful 1st edition in 2018\, we are happy to embrace once again the chance to meet with film enthusiasts\, industry professionals\, students\, professors\, guest speakers and many others who enjoy socializing in a distinct setting. \nAuthentic Romanian stories combined with exclusive debates. What a treat! \n\n\nAbout the organizers:\n\nWe are an association of professionals from various fields\, such as strategic communication\, film studies\, and management. Our aim is to promote Romania’s culture\, traditions\, and values. We have an extensive experience in film studies\, creative production\, and event management. We use this experience in order to boost the popularity of Romania’s cultural products abroad.\n\n\nTogether with our partners in the USA and Romania we want to raise the awareness of the American public over the Romanian film\, considered as one of the most successful creative experiments in Europe. \nThe ROFest.Trends Film Festival aims to bring to Chicago the newest trends in the Romanian short and feature fiction\, praised internationally for their intricate stories and robust characters. Our public will have the chance to watch some of the most acclaimed Romanian movies\, while interacting with their producers and actors. \nThis film festival has two colateral goals. Firstly\, to feature stories that expose the many facets of Romania – starting from the historical perspective\, going through the social one\, and ending with current concerns and personal struggles. The second goals is to facilitate the dialogue between various cultures\, and\, more precisely\, between the American and the Romanian ones. \nThe Romanian movie has developed its own style\, bridging the gap between past\, present\, and future\, and creating a new type of symbolism focused on the „story within the story”. In its quest for modernization\, Romania is struggling to internalize the ”Western way”\, while still being anchored in its own „savoire-faire”. This unique pattern gives birth to original stories – beautifully captured in the films featuring the ROFest.Trends film festival. \nDespite their complex topics\, movies presented in our festival are captivating and open to interpretations. Since the Romanian film has become a strong national brand that exposes emblematic phenomena about Romanians’ lives\, families\, politics\, education\, values\, and traditions\, our festival also constitutes an excellent opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Romania as an independent state.

SUMMARY:La Blouse Roumaine: Traditional Textiles\, Art & Cultural Fashion
DESCRIPTION:From the Romanians of DC organization: \nYou are cordially invited on Thursday\, May 16 at 5:30 pm at the Textile Museum (701 21st Street\, NW\, Washington\, DC) to attend the official launch of the concept of the brand new La Blouse Romaine Magazine presented by Andreea Tănăsescu\, the founder of the Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse social movement and President of IA Association.

The event will also feature a small collection of traditional Romanian folk costumes from the Collection of Bogdan Banu. This is a free event but prior registration is required here: http://romanianblouse.eventbrite.com \nCultural diplomacy takes many shapes and forms. The forms and ornaments found on the Romanian folk blouses are just the latest and probably most unusual manifestation of what cultural diplomacy can be. Unbeknown to most\, the Romanian blouse is truly an universal cultural icon. Worn by celebrities\, part of cultural revolutions such as the hippie movement in the 60s\, loved by famous fashion designers world-wide\, and an inspiration for famous artists or movie characters\, the Romanian blouses trace their origins back to the ancient civilizations found along the Danube river thousands of years ago. They preserve a part of the language of signs and symbols specific to the mythical thinking of those times. \nIn 2013 a truly global social and cultural movement was born in Romania centered on the Romanian Blouse. It was a movement born out of a desire to preserve and pass on to a new generation this symbol so central to the Romanian identity. Romanians around the world were asked to post a photo or a selfie wearing their blouses on social media as a way to reach and educate a wider public. In just six short years the movement has grown exponentially to some 200\,000 member\, celebrated annually on six continents\, over 60 countries and some 300 cities. The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse is now celebrated like a national holiday in both Romania and the Republic of Moldova and has been recognized by governments in Washington\, DC\, Canada and elsewhere. \nAndreea Tănăsescu is the creator and founder of La blouse roumaine movement that has contributed decisively to the rebirth and renewed interest in traditional Romanian culture on a global scale. She is the creator of the Universal Romanian Blouse Day\, Brâncuși Week and Cultural Fashion Day and the President of La blouse roumaine IA Association\, a non-governmental organization that promotes the preservation of the Romanian textile heritage\, cultural and sustainable fashion. In 2017 Andreea started Give Credit that militates for culturally responsible design and now she is currently working on the development La blouse roumaine magazine. She studied Law and Public Relations and she has been involved in the fashion\, media and movie industry for more than 20 years as a talent agent and casting director for major international film productions as The Fall by Tarsem Singh\, Callas Forever by Franco Zeffirelli\, Amen by Costa Gavras\, Modigliani by Mick Davis. \nSonia Coman-Ernstoff is a Romanian-born art historian and poet. She received a B.A. from Harvard and a Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia\, where she taught an undergraduate seminar on the soft power of ceramic arts across world cultures. As the Anne van Biema Fellow at the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery\, Dr. Coman is currently preparing a book manuscript on the formation and legacy of Charles Lang Freer’s collection of Japanese ceramics. Her poetry has been published and awarded internationally. Her latest book\, Passages\, was shortlisted for The Haiku Foundation’s Touchstone Distinguished Book Award. \nDorian Branea\, cultural diplomat\, cultural entrepreneur\, author and translator\, is currently the Director of Romanian Cultural Institute in New York. Previously he was a Fellow at the Central European University (2003-2004)\, Founding Director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in Warsaw (2006-2010) and Director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in London (2010-2018).

SUMMARY:Reinventing Realism: New Cinema from Romania Film Festival - Washington D.C.\, June 1-6
DESCRIPTION:D.C. friends\, mark your calendars for June 1 to 16 for some Romanian movies that received several international awards: ‘One Step Behind The Seraphim’\, ‘Alice T’\, ‘Infinite Football’\, ‘Marita’\, ‘Pororoca’\, ‘Charlestone’\, ‘Moromete Family: On The Edge of Time’. The cultural indulgence is due to Ambasada României în Statele Unite ale Americii / Romanian Embassy in US\, Romanian Cultural Institute in New York\, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. More to come about the Festival soon. \nScreenings to take place at the National Gallery of Art in Washington.  From the National Gallery: \n„Since the late 1990s a group of intellectually adventurous filmmakers from Romania has been enlivening the European art scene with a steady stream of robustly realistic films that tackle moral and ethical issues\, and make thought-provoking parables from everyday events. At the same time these filmmakers\, working collaboratively\, have set up a discourse about contemporary societal and civil issues that hover over Europe. This series is the last in a cycle of three retrospectives at the National Gallery of Art to focus on Romania’s New Wave — earlier installments took place in 2007 and 2017. The Gallery wishes to thank the Embassy of Romania and the Romanian Cultural Institute for their partnership.” \nImage:  still from One Step Behind the Seraphim \nhttp://bit.ly/Alianta_RoFilms_WashingtonDC
