A Chicago celebration of the life and legacy of Tito Matos

About this event

On January 18, 2022 the Puerto Rican cultural community was shocked by the news of the sudden departure of musical giant Tito Matos. After an extensive career as a master percussionist, teacher and bandleader of Viento de Agua and La Máquina Insular, Tito left a strong legacy of community work and cultural preservation in Puerto Rico and abroad.
His time living in New York, as well as his relationship with Chicago’s musicians and cultural institutions allowed him to deepen his roots in the diaspora. He was a teacher, mentor and friend for hundreds of plena practitioners across the globe.
SRBCC is proud to partner with Tito’s closest friends from Puerto Rico and Chicago, including Lagarto Figueroa, Llonsi Martínez, Ricardo Pons, Noel Rosado, Emanuel Santana (Puerto Rico), Ivelisse Díaz (La Escuelita Bombera de Corazón), Bomba con Buya , Las Bompleneras and Los Pleneros de Don Segundo (Chicago) to celebrate his enduring legacy, raise funds for La Casa de la Plena Tito Matos, and establish a new scholarship for Chicago’s creative youth in his honor.
Join us in this Chicago celebration of the Life and Legacy of Héctor “Tito” Matos.

Ravi and Anoushka Shankar Live in Bangalore (2012. 2hr.24min) On February 7, 2012, two months before his 92nd birthday, Ravi Shankar performed with his daughter Anoushka at the sold-out Bangaluru Palace Grounds in Bangalore, India. With a set including Raga Yaman Kalyan, Raga Tilak Shyam, Raga Khamaj, and Folk medley, they played for over three hours to the delight of an enthralled audience. Captured here on DVD and CD is the final and breathtaking Indian concert performance of the man who brought the cultural riches of the East to the West. Playing alongside Anoushka – dubbed by BBC Music Magazine a “star performer”—the unique father-daughter relationship serves to reinforce Ravi’s innate dedication and belief in the joy and hard work which are essential to creative expression.

Colors of Life by Elena Diadenko

Elena was born and raised in Ukraine, and immigrated to the United States in 1992. She received her first art degrees from Myrgorod Ceramics College and Lviv National Academy of Arts in Ukraine. Later, she received two masters’ degrees in interdisciplinary art and art education from Columbia College in Chicago. She has lived and worked in Chicago for 30 years and currently works at Schurz High School as an art teacher. She teaches Multimedia Art and College Level Art classes.In 2004, she won a Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching art. She loves her students and is passionate about teaching them the different aspects of art. She has participated in more than 60 art exhibitions including solo and group shows and art fairs in the Chicagoland area. This is her first solo exhibition at the Ukrainian National Museum. At the show tonight, visitors will see art works from throughout different periods of her life. Recently, she is focusing on painting art works that explore invisible aspects of the spiritual world and our desire to see it. In her glass paintings she is trying to preserve Ukrainian folk culture using an ancient Ukrainian technique with black outlines. In her acrylic paintings she combines abstract with figurative styles. Inspiration comes from life around the artist: “The world is so strange, so attractive, so multi-faceted- I can’t help but love it. All that I do, all that I paint, comes out of this love I feel for the world, for all that is alive in this world, for my fellow travelers, and for God.”

2022-03-03 13:00 - 15:00 | Online Event
The Irish American Heritage Center, in partnership with the Consulate General of Ireland, Midwest, presents Irish Art in Practice. Join Jennifer Keating, Ph.D. as she brings us through the world of Irish arts and artists, and the living applications and impressions it makes on the world around us. Jennifer Keating is a Senior Lecturer and the Writing in the Disciplines Specialist in the William S. Dietrich II Institute for Writing Excellence. Most recently, she served as Assistant Dean for Educational Initiatives in the Dietrich College for Humanities and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University.

Legacies of Justice, March 3rd, 7:00pm CST
In 2014 filmmaker Mairéad McClean was awarded the MAC International prize for her film No More. This meditation on the implications of Internment Without Trial in 1971 resonated the world over as evidence of torture and prisoner abuse emerged from Guantanamo Bay to Abu Ghraib. In Legacies of Justice we will screen the short film and discuss its explorations and symbolism. McClean, daughter of civil-rights activist Paddy-Joe McClean, interrogates concepts of security and the political contortions of conflict in this work. Together we will discuss its poetic meditation on these infringements on human rights in the name of security, as we also bring examples like Rita Duffy’s painting, Guantanamo amas amat, and Paula McFetridge’s staging of Convictions in the Crumlin Road Courthouse, to bear on the conversation.

In 2013 the U.S. State Department confirmed Mr. Hachim as the new Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in Chicago.

The Honorable Charif Hachim is the perfect person to promote, cultivate and sustain a relationship between the Comoros and the Midwest Region of the United States due to his business background, as well as his passion and understanding for both cultures.

Swedish American Museum Book Club Online

The Museum book club reads a wide range of books from the Nordic countries.
This is a free event and you can register by emailing museum@samac.org.
Here are the upcoming book club books:
February
Antiphony by Laila Stien
March
Pakkis by Khalid Hussain
The books can be bought in the Museum Store.
About Antiphony
The narrator, a young social scientist who works for a newspaper in Oslo, goes to Northern Norway on leave after a colleague tells her she lacks initiative. On the surface she is supposed to write a book about structural relationships among the Sami (formerly Lapps). However, loneliness, in spite of a good social life with her friends in Oslo, a tense relationship with her own family, and a feeling of stagnation in her career seem to be the main reasons for her going away.
She becomes acquainted with three generations of Sami women, hears their stories and attempts to make sense of them. Soon she loses her role as impartial observer and becomes more involved in their lives. The more she discovers, the less she feels she understands.
The novel presents a wonderful picture of Sami culture in transition and in the face of inevitable outside forces. In this sense it is a much more universal work demonstrating how an indigenous culture reacts to a dominant culture and what happens over the course of a relatively short period. The novel is also an anti- or non-ethnography in a sense, blurring the lines between the center/periphery (narrator/Sami women).

Swedish Settlements on the South Shore
By Kenneth Schoon
Immigrants from Sweden were the first non-English speaking people to move into the Indiana Dunes region and establish settlements. Their legacy can be seen today.
This program, and its accompanying book, note that these Swedes established more than a dozen local churches, most of which are still active today. They built homes out of logs, lumber, and bricks, cleared and farmed the land, worked for the railroads and the brick factories, and established businesses, some of which are still in business today. Several of the early Swedes served in the Union army in the Civil War. Nearly all got American citizenship, and some were elected to political office.
The fourth of July was widely celebrated, but so were Swedish traditions at Midsummer and the Christmas season. Today descendants of Swedes still learn Swedish songs and dances and celebrate the traditions of their forbears. Even non-Swedes know about Vikings and may eat Swedish meatballs. Smörgåsbord has become an American word—though to Swedes it has slightly different meaning. Swedes and their descendants have helped build the Calumet Area.
Kenneth Schoon is the author of “Swedish Settlements on the South Shore of Lake Michigan.” Although not a Swede, he is married to the granddaughter of Swedish immigrants. His earlier works include Calumet Beginnings, Dreams of Duneland, and Shifting Sands, all published by Indiana University Press, and City Trees published by Stackpole Books.
Cost is free for Swedish American Museum Genealogical Society members; $10 for non-members to participate. Member reservations appreciated and can be made via email to genealogy@samac.org or by calling the Museum at 773.728.8111 and non-members can use the button below.

Book Talk: Operation Payback
2022-02-20 09:00 - 11:00 | Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art, 2320 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL, 60622, United States
What We Didn’t Know Then, What We Know Now
Prof. Luciuk is a renowned scholar in the field of Ukrainian studies specializing in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States. He is a full professor of political geography at the Royal Military College of Canada.

Prof. Luciuk will discuss a book, titled “Operation Payback: Soviet Disinformation and Alleged Nazi War Criminals in North America.” The book is a compilation of approximately 40 commentaries written by Prof. Luciuk in the past four decades, along with documentation related to the topic of how Jewish and Ukrainian communities in the United States and Canada were manipulated with disinformation and set against each other since the 1960s in an overt plan to set both communities against each other.

The key document of the book is the translation of the KGB memorandum written in October 1985 that outlines Operation Payback (Retribution), which confirms that the KGB had several directorates created to advance Jewish demands that Nazi war criminals be brought to justice by alleging that many of these war collaborators were living among Ukrainian emigres. These allegations were repeated so often that they were presumed to be true.

Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark Street
FREE, PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED – Click here to register

Signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, Executive Order 9066 led to the incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans during WWII. Every year, the Japanese American community in Chicago comes together to commemorate EO9066 as a reminder of the fragility of civil liberties in times of crisis and the importance of remaining vigilant in protecting the rights and freedoms of all.
Day of Remembrance 2022 features a variety of speakers celebrating the passage of the Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History (TEAACH) Act. Signed into law on July 9, 2021, the TEAACH Act makes Illinois the first state to mandate that Asian American history be taught in public schools. Join us to learn why the TEAACH Act matters, how the task of implementation is being addressed, and how the Japanese American community is contributing to the effort. The program will feature a showcase of classroom-ready resources for teaching about EO9066 and incarceration through a Chicago lens.
Chicago-based Ho Etsu Taiko will take the stage to perform a new work composed especially for Day of Remembrance 2022. Ho Etsu Taiko blends the deep-rooted culture of Japanese American drumming with influences that inspire and celebrate the diversity of their performing members.
Masks and vaccinations required. There will be no refreshments served at this year’s event.
