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: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:Book Launch July 12: Bucharest Diary\, by former Amb\, Alfred Moses
DESCRIPTION:In the 1970s\, American attorney Alfred H. Moses was approached on the streets of Bucharest by young Jews seeking help to emigrate from Communist Romania to Israel. This became Moses’ mission until the Communist regime fell in 1989. In the ensuing years\, he periodically met with dictator Nicolae Ceausescu to confirm the right of Jews to freely leave the country. \nIn recognition of Moses’ work\, President Clinton appointed him as his first ambassador to Romania (1994 – 1997)\, where Moses played a key role in helping Romania move from its Communist past to democracy and to establish a free economy. \nIn his new book\, Bucharest Diary: An American Ambassador’s Journey\, Moses includes first-hand accounts of the diplomacy\, both public and private\, that helped Romania recover from four decades of Communist rule. As ambassador\, he facilitated negotiations between Romania and neighboring Hungary and Ukraine that resulted in treaties resolving border and other disputes. As a result\, Romania was invited to join NATO and the European Union\, and currently has the fastest growing economy in Eastern Europe. For his efforts\, Moses was awarded the Marc Cruce medal by the Romanian Government\, the only American to receive this distinction. \nMoses is chairman of UN Watch\, the author of several books\, and has written articles for publications including The New York Times and The Washington Post. Moses also served as special counsel to President Carter (1980 – 1981) and special presidential envoy for the Cyprus conflict (1999 – 2001). Book signing to follow. \nEvent is scheduled for July 12\, in Washington\, D.C.  Follow the link for more info: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/466788710418281/

SUMMARY:June 23\, 2018:  La Blouse Roumaine/Romanian Blouse Day
DESCRIPTION:We will be joining again this year all those who celebrate around the world „The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse” and we will mark the event here in Washington\, DC on Saturday\, June 23 at 5 pm in Lafayette Square in front of the White House. This is the same location where in 2015 we read the proclamation issued by the Mayor of Washington\, DC recognizing June 24 as the Day of the Romanian Folk Costume in the Nation’s Capital and thus conferring its first official recognition. \nI hope that in this most important year marking the 100 year anniversary of the modern Romanian state\, the Romanian community in Washington\, DC will answer this invitation and will come together to mark the event and to show its unity and the importance of our community. On that day\, Romanians and those who love and appreciate Romania and its culture\, are asked to wear a traditional Romanian blouse or shirt. The participants are also encouraged to bring Romanian flags and other folk items which could be used as the setting for the pictures taken at this event. \nThe Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse is a celebration of the traditional Romanian blouse (ia) uniting around the globe all those who cherish Romania and its folk costume. Coordinated by the online community La Blouse Roumaine\, the day\, first marked in 2013\, has become a truly global event celebrated on six continents\, in over 50 countries\, 109 cities\, and through over 200 events. The Universal Day of the Romanian Blouse has rekindled the interest and appreciation for the authentic Romanian folk art and creations\, and for those who make them\, and after more than 25 years since the fall of the communist regime\, this movement has contributed decisively to the rebirth and a renewed interest in traditional Romanian culture. \nSo let us heed the call of „La Blouse Roumaine” and dress Washington\, DC\, and the globe\, in the Romanian Blouse! \n\nSee the links:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/224552838139529/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/RomaniansofDC/photos/gm.224552848139528/393526937788970/?type=3&theater\n\n\n
