iZulu Lami My Secret Sky

My secret sky follows the journey of two young children as they travel from their rural village to the city after their mother’s death. Thembi aims to fulfill her mothers dream, but it is only when she reaches out to her little brother that she begins to find her own dream.

This movie is a story of hope about two young children who leave their rural homestead for the city when their mother dies, meeting up with other orphaned children, and ultimately triumphing over adversity through their courage and resilience.

The film touches on other African themes, e.g. indigenous arts and crafts, rural-urban migration, tradition and music but it does so through the emotional experiences of the two main characters, 10-year old Thembi and her 8 year old brother Khwezi. Izulu Lami/My Secret Sky touches on issues around child-headed homes, highlighting the challenge the film’s main character faces in being both child and adult, sister and mother, learner and worker for her little brother after they are orphaned. Izulu Lami/My Secret Sky is an uplifting and fresh approach to the lives of orphaned and vulnerable street children.

The film incorporates excellent cinematography with a powerful message and well developed characters and appealing visual imagery, leaving the viewer with a sense of hope.

Painted Literature by Pari Azarm Motamedi

Opening Reception Thursday May 12, 2011, 6-8pm

Showcase: May 12- June 11, 2011

Nature and poetry are the most important sources of inspiration in Paris’ art. In silence and solitude the words of wisdom in a line of poetry, guide and lead her to a deep appreciation of the beauty, harmony and unity that pervades life. The exhibition, Painted Literature, showcases paintings based on the poetry of two contemporary Persian master poets,Shafii Kahkani and Sohrab Sepehri. The visual narration and interpretation of these words
creates an aesthetic language of form and colour, conveying the paralleled great beauty,compassion and wisdom between the paintings and the poems.
