To preserve freedom of expression and to provide complete Internet access for members of the community the San Francisco Public Libraries will give up Federal funding because it now mandates that libraries install filtering software by July 1, 2002.
Emphasizing that filters can widen the digital divide, Supervisor Mark Leno pointed out, according to the Freedom Forum, that "Internet access that the library provides is often used by folks from different ethnic communities who may not have computers in their own homes."
There are more than 16,000 public libraries nationwide and, the American Library Association (ALA) estimates that 95 percent of them currently provide Internet access for their patrons. The "Children's Internet Protection Act", (CIPA) introduced by Senator John McCain, (R-AZ) requires libraries which participate in certain federal programs (such as the federal E-rate program) to install "technology protection measures" on all of their Internet access terminals, regardless of whether federal programs paid for the terminals or Internet connections.
The legislation was approved by Congress on December 15. Both the ALA and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have sued to overturn it. A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments in the case next February at a federal court in Pennsylvania.
Because filtering software is not able to successfully differentiate constitutionally protected speech from illegal speech on the Internet, the ALA believes that it restricts access to constitutionally protected information available on the Internet at public libraries.
"If the same standards used in online filters were applied to a library's books the way they are to the Internet, our shelves would be practically empty," said ALA President Nancy Kranich. "Filters work by spotting words, not by making judgments about decency."
Kranich is also concerned that forcing libraries to choose between funding and censorship means millions of library users will lose, particularly those in the most poverty-stricken and geographically isolated areas of the country, and she emphasized that libraries across the country already have in place Internet-access policies developed locally to meet community needs, that librarians also offer classes and programs to ensure that children have an enriching and safe online experience.
"Families have been turning to their libraries for the best information for more than a century," she said. "It is the mission of libraries to provide access to the broadest range of information for a community of diverse individuals. The vast majority of children and adults use the library responsibly and appropriately. We must ensure that they continue to have access to the materials they need to thrive in the 21st-Century information society."
Although the San Francisco Board of Supervisors banned filters in computers intended for adult use, they left it up to the Library Commission to decide whether to install filtering software in children's areas.

"Over the last few days, we have received calls and correspondence from Canadians who believe that the exhibition The Lands within Me should be presented as scheduled," said Museum President and Chief Executive Officer Victor Rabinovitch. "We have also heard from public figures who believe the exhibition could contribute at this time to the building of tolerance and understanding. "
When the exhibition was to be postponed, artists in the exhibition Rawi Hage; (Montreal) Jayce Salloum; (Vancouver) and writer/critic Laura Marks (Ottawa) wrote in an open email:
"We firmly believe that cultural events such as this have a important educational and humanitarian role, and that they are needed at times like this more then ever. We believe that the Museum needs to stand up and show support for the Arab-Canadian community and to exhibit the exemplary art works made by Arab-Canadian artists. This will help bridge the divide between Canadians and will assist in bringing about an understanding between the Arab-Canadian and other communities."
After sending out their letter of protest, they received responses from over 250 people who objected to the postponing of the exhibition.
"Impassioned letters were received from across Canada, throughout the US and many from New York City which was especially moving. We also received similar responses from places as far away as Nepal, Brazil, Mexico, UK, Australia, Italy, Belgium, Holland, France, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and North Africa," said multimedia artist Jayce Salloum, whose works in the exhibition will include BEAUTY AND THE EAST (55 minutes, audio amplified, video projection) which the artist describes as:
"Addressing issues of transition, alienation, refusal, identities, ethno-fascism, body as object & metaphor, agents, monsters, abjectness, subjective affinities, and objective trusts with material taped predominately while moving through Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade, and Skopje, the subjects conversing come from a range of constituencies; migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, residents (permanent and transient), students, workers, and cultural producers recounting experience, locating sites, shifts, events, and the theorizing and accounting of the issues at stake, and associated ambient imagery forming specific histories of locations, and locations of histories at the intersection of cultures in this/these particular place(s) and time(s)."
Also included in the exhibition are: Hannah Alpha, THE FIRES OF KUWAIT; (From "A series of events 1991", 1991, oil on acetate) Farouk Kaspaules, ... AND AT NIGHT WE LEAVE OUR DREAMS ON WINDOW SILL, MEMORY OF A PLACE (2000, wall installation: mixed media on BFK Rives paper) and Joseph Moukhtar QUEBEC, LA CINQUIEME SAISON. (1996, oil on canvas)
Prepared over five years by Aida Kaouk and a team of assistants, The Lands within Me is the most extensive exhibition ever mounted in North America on the work of contemporary Canadian artists of Arab origin. It includes more than 65 works by 26 painters, sculptors, photographers, ceramists, video artists, jewelers and calligraphers who trace their origins to nine Arab countries. These artists -- all Canadian citizens living in Ottawa, London, Halifax and the Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver areas -- are of Algerian, Saudi Arabian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Lebanese, Moroccan, Palestinian, Syrian and Tunisian origin or descent. They work in a variety of styles and genres, from figurative to abstract, including folk art and crafts.
Running from October 19, 2001 to March 9, 2003, The Lands within Me: Expressions by Canadian Artists of Arab Origin will be accompanied by a Festival of Music and Film from the Arab World.
As the national museum of human history, the Canadian Museum of Civilization is committed to fostering in all Canadians a sense of their common identity and their shared past. At the same time, it hopes to promote understanding between the various cultural groups that are part of Canadian society.

DOUG AND MIKE STARN: RAMPARTS CAFE
A personal reaction to the city of Jerusalem, the multimedia installation with sound entitled RAMPARTS CAFE, (1995-6) by the Brooklyn-based twin brothers, Doug and Mike Starn, is, the artists state: "archaeology over archaeology of written accounts of the fighting over and occupations of Jerusalem."
Jerusalem's 3,000 year history collides with everyday life as represented by a three-part Plexiglas cafe table to which visitors are invited to pull up a chair. Meant to evoke a Jerusalem cafe, the transparent table is haphazardly set with plates, glasses, eating utensils and ashtrays. The city's infrastructure and its unseen soul are evoked through photographic transparencies (embedded in the transparent tabletop) of open and tattered historical documents from Jerusalem's three major faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Transparencies of the Dead Sea Scroll War Rule, Ezekiel 37-38 from a 12th century Crusader Bible, and the counterpart from a 16th century Koran are lit from below with golden light. Also included is other documentation of Jerusalem's history -- from the time of Josephus to the assassination of Rabin.
An audiotape of prayer songs and chants from each religion permeates the exhibition space. Through text and sound, the visitor is invited to contemplate the multiple claims of ownership, the declarations of war and hate, the spirituality, peace treaties, histories, hopes and aspirations -- both ancient and contemporary -- of the city of Jerusalem.
Doug and Mike Starn attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Since the mid-1980's their work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world. Initially known for photo-collage work, in recent years the Starn brothers have been incorporating texts and entire book forms into their collages.
The installation was organized by Joanna Lindenbaum, Fine Arts Curatorial Assistant at The Jewish Museum.
The Jewish Museum has worked for nearly a century to illuminate the Jewish experience, both secular and religious, demonstrating the strength of Jewish identity and culture. Its collection and exhibitions explore multiple facets of the Jewish experience, past and present -- offering a source of education, inspiration and shared human values for people of all cultures.

BERTIEN VAN MANEN:
A HUNDRED SUMMERS, A HUNDRED WINTERS; EAST WIND, WEST WIND; MEN
Three bodies of work by contemporary photographer Bertien van Manen (The Netherlands, born 1942) -- A HUNDRED SUMMERS, A HUNDRED WINTERS, EAST WIND, WEST WIND, and MEN -- will be on view at Columbia College Chicago through October 13, 2001.
Inspired early in her career by the work of Robert Frank, (American, born Switzerland 1924) Van Manen has made it her practice to inhabit the culture she is documenting and to the best of her ability, live the lives of the people she photographs -- learning local languages and making friends with those whose lives she documents.
"The resulting color photographs weave between the public and private lives of her subjects who, clearly at ease in her company, disclose to her camera a shifting reality in the face of social and cultural change," the exhibition states.
The photographs in A Hundred Summers, A Hundred Winters were made in the former Soviet Union over a four-year period beginning in 1990. East Wind, West Wind contains photographs made since 1998 in China. Men is composed of portraits of four men (father, husband, lover, and son) central to the artist's life.
This exhibition has been organized by Bas Vroege, director of Paradox, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1993, which is devoted to photography and media related arts.
The Museum of Contemporary Photography works to be a stimulating and innovative forum for the creation, collection, and examination of photographically related images, objects, and ideas. By presenting projects and exhibitions that embrace a wide range of contemporary aesthetics and technologies, the museum promotes a greater understanding of and appreciation for the cultural, social, and political implications of the image in our world today.

SURDNA FOUNDATION FELLOWSHIPS FOR PUBLIC ARTS HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
The Surdna Foundation announces year two of a national pilot initiative, the Surdna Arts Teachers Fellowship Program, to support the artistic revitalization of outstanding arts teachers in specialized, public arts high schools. Surdna's Arts Program aims, in various ways, to improve the artistic capabilities of teens. The focus of this program is on the students high school arts teachers. Surdna's goal is to help them increase their effectiveness as they guide and train young people for careers or advanced study in the visual or performing arts.
The Foundation believes that if teachers can immerse themselves in their own creative work and interact with professional artist/colleagues, they will bring new ideas and practices into the classroom. Selected teachers will have opportunities to make art and stay current with new practices and resources in their fields. For example, Surdna might pay the costs of tuition and room and board to enable teachers to attend summer arts programs offered by arts institutions, arts festivals, or university studio programs.
Awards of up to $5,000 each will be made. A complementary grant of $1,500 to each Fellow's school will support post-fellowship activities. The fellowship award may be used to defray the costs of tuition, room and board, travel, purchase of materials and/or living expenses. Following the fellowship period, participants will gather for a convocation accompanied by school leaders, to share experiences and provide feedback critical to the future of the program.
All permanently assigned, full- and part-time arts faculty in specialized, public arts high schools are eligible. Candidates should be able to demonstrate their excellence both as teachers and artists, as well as the willingness of their high schools to engage in post-fellowship activities. Teachers of visual arts, theatre arts, music, and dance are included. Applicants must have been teaching for a minimum of five years.
Interested arts teachers can request application information from Mindy Duitz, Project Consultant, Arts Teachers Fellowship Program, Surdna Foundation, 330 Madison Avenue, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10017; e-mail surdnafellowship@mindspring.com
tel: 212-557-0010 ext. 256. Letters of Intent and supporting materials are due November 30, 2001. Full applications will be due March 8, 2002.
The Surdna Foundation focuses its grantmaking in five program areas: the Environment, Community Revitalization, Effective Citizenry, the Nonprofit Sector, and the Arts.
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS NATIONWIDE TO RECOGNIZE LEADERSHIP IN COMMUNITIES
The Ford Foundation is seeking nominations of community leaders across the country who are successfully tackling tough social problems for the Leadership for a Changing World program. Twenty outstanding social justice leaders and leadership teams that are not broadly known beyond their immediate community or field will receive awards of $100,000 to advance their work, plus $30,000 for supporting activities. The program also includes a major, multi-year research initiative and numerous forums to bring awardees together with other leaders to share experiences, address specific challenges, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
Leadership for a Changing World is a program of the Ford Foundation in partnership with the Washington-based Advocacy Institute, and the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. Nominations will be accepted by the Advocacy Institute through January 4, 2002. Leaders must be nominated by someone who is well acquainted with their work and can attest to their qualifications.
2001 awardees include Bill Rauch, Artistic Director/Co-Founder, of the Los Angeles-based Cornerstone Theater Co.
Harvard classmates Bill Rauch and Alison Carey (now Cornerstone's resident playwright) founded Cornerstone Theater in 1986, with early support from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and dozens of individual donors. Cornerstone is a multi-racial ensemble of artists with a mission of bringing live theater to communities across the country, casting local residents alongside a small band of professional actors and adapting classical and original plays to the local setting. "The experiment that is the United States of America is full of glorious promise but it is built on a legacy of bigotry and hatred and yes, fear of the other," says Rauch, who believes that theater is the most collaborative and all-encompassing of art forms, and can be "a rehearsal for changing the world." Through art and theater, he states, Americans can air their differences and "collectively shape a new set of images for how the world does and doesn't function."

Specific questions can be submitted via email at info@leadershipforchange.org tel: 202-777-7560 or by writing to Leadership for a Changing World, Advocacy Institute, 1629 K St., NW Suite 200 Washington, DC 20006-1629.
"Photography and video are the most direct means of expression that one could find at such a tragic moment. The gathering of work - not only of famous photographers, but of policeman, fireman and amateurs alike - is a cathartic expression and helps to unify us all...." - Charles Traub, chair, MFA Photography and Related Media, School of Visual Arts
HERE IS NEW YORK is an exhibition about the attack on the World Trade Center and the response that destruction has solicited. The exhibition is subtitled "Images from the Frontline of History A Democracy of Photographs" because anyone and everyone who has taken pictures relating to the tragedy is invited to bring or email their images to the gallery, where they will be digitally scanned, archivally printed, and displayed on the walls alongside the work of top photojournalists and other professional photographers.
All of the prints displayed will be sold to the public at the same fixed and nominal price, regardless of their provenance. The proceeds will go to the thousands of children who are among the greatest victims of this catastrophe.
The exhibition came about because one of the organizers, Michael Shulan, is an owner of a building in SoHo where a store unexpectedly became vacant as a result of the tragedy. Along with Shulan, a writer, the organizers of the exhibition are Gilles Peress, photographer; Alice Rose George, curator and editor; and Charles Traub, photographer and chair of the MFA Photography Department of the School of Visual Arts, (SVA) along with Susan Luciano. SVA, its students, faculty, alumni, and staff are the coordinating producers.
A partial list of those who are collaborating include photographers Susan Meiselas, Alex Webb, Adam Bartos, Jeff Mermelstein and Joel Sternfeld; editors Phillip Gefter of THE NEW YORK TIMES and Vince Aletti of the VILLAGE VOICE; Howard Greenberg of the Howard Greenberg Gallery and Marla Kennedy of the Kennedy-Boesky Gallery; photo agencies Magnum and Saba; and the Aaron Siskind Foundation.

"My daughter Loni [Efron] is a survivor of September 11," Judith Kaufman Weiner, Executive Director, Alliance of New York State Arts Organizations, wrote on the email list which the Alliance initiated to help coordinate disaster reports and responses.
Loni was on the 25th floor of Battery Park City, a few blocks from the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001.
She photographed the planes hitting the two towers and then "After the first tower fell, she continued shooting as she descended the stairs and raced out the rear of the building, running south on the pedestrian walk.....just ahead of the smoke and debris. Images from the police rescue boat as they were taken to Liberty Park in New Jersey are there too. The ensuing hours of the unspeakable terror of a parent "not knowing" are inescapable for me even now. I finally heard her voice from a shelter in Bayonne New Jersey," Judy Weiner writes.
