SUMMARY:A Country in Crisis: Venezuela's Stolen Election with Ambassador Charles Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:The Venezuelan presidential election took place on July 28th of this year. The results have been contentious with both the current president Nicolás Maduro and opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia claiming democratic victory. To worsen matters\, on the 6th of August\, the state of Venezuela launched a criminal probe into both presidential candidate Gonzalez\, as well as opposition party leader Maria Corina Machado. Ambassador Charles Shapiro will explore the recent election in Venezuela\, analyzing its implications for the nation’s future amidst a backdrop of economic turmoil and political instability. \n\n\n\nThe talk will delve into the election’s controversial results\, the reactions from both domestic and international actors\, and the subsequent uprisings that have swept across the country. Can the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) led by President Nicolás Maduro fend off the opposition coalition led by Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia? Ambassador Shapiro will offer insights into the potential paths forward for Venezuela\, considering both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead as the country grapples with its deepening crisis. \n\n\n\nWith millions of Venezuelans taking to the streets in protest\, and the country’s wider political landscape a mystery\, there is no better time for Ambassador (Ret.) Shapiro to grace us with his presence to give his thoughts on both the election\, and what the future may hold for such a wonderful country. Please join us for a meal as we unpack this topical issue.  \n\n\n\nComplimentary valet parking is available. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmbassador (Ret.) Charles Shapiro\nAmbassador (ret.)

SUMMARY:Atlanta Flamenco Festival Opening Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Atlanta Flamenco Festival will bring world-class flamenco artists to Atlanta audiences in a series of concerts and educational programs that will amplify the art form. It takes place in the metro area starting on August 26 – 31\, 2024. The festival is the only series of its kind in the South. The non-profit\, A Través\, Inc.\, is proud to take this step in bringing a strong artistic presence and international perspectives to the region via (a través de) flamenco. A Través\, 501c3\, first presented the festival in 2019. \n\n\n\nThe Atlanta Flamenco Festival begins with performances by a special group of artists from important flamenco cities in Spain: Madrid\, Jerez de la Fronera\, and Cádiz. They will perform two concerts of live music and dance at Emory University Performing Arts Studio. Macarena de Jerez\, an accomplished ´festera´ from Jerez de la Frontera\, Spain\, will headline the concerts on August 31\, 2024. Normally a position held by a man in the flamenco stage\, a festero or festera is a strong character that employs humor to build emotional expression in song and dance. In this case\, Macarena de Jerez\, will bring her powerful voice and imposing dance to the stage. She will be accompanied by José Panzekito\, a guitarist and singer who hails from one of the oldest flamenco dynasties in Spain. These multi-talented artists will be joined on stage by the young\, fiery dancer\, El Bocadillo from Madrid\, and José Manuel Alconchel\, a seasoned guitarist from Jerez de la Frontera\, Spain. \n\n\n\nArtists will also offer educational programming to create opportunities for Georgia residents who perform flamenco professionally. Local artists will be able to participate in a developmental seminar at the professional level\, focusing on advanced concepts of the art form\, which rarely are addressed outside of closed\, elite artistic circles in Spain. The outreach culminates with a concert in which Georgia artists will perform in a showcase of the role of improvisation in flamenco\, which is a strategy used by professional artists in tablaos and on theater stages across Spain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Flyer
