SUMMARY:Spruill Center For The Arts Presents Homecoming By Ilona Cutts
DESCRIPTION:Finnish-born artist\, Ilona Cutts exhibits her new series of paintings\, HOMECOMING. Having spent much of her life as a nomad\, moving from country to country\, Cutts has been searching for Home most of her life. She has the eye of a wanderer\, like a plant without roots. It is this rootlessness that has formed her artistic style where a myriad of cultures can be seen in her fantastical figures and dreamlike landscapes. After recently becoming a US Citizen\, Cutts has begun to put down roots and discover the elusive feeling of Home. In her new body of work\, HOMECOMING\, Cutts explores this idea of Home and what it means to her and others. \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, January 20\, 6-9 pm\nARTIST TALK: Saturday\, February 5\, 2 pm \nAbout the Artist\nIlona Cutts \nIlona Cutts (born Sampovaara) studied Fine Arts at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design. In 1995 she received her BFA in painting from Kankaanpää Art College\, in Finland. Ilona’s paintings have been exhibited internationally in numerous solo and group Shows. She has exhibited in Finland\, Mexico\, the USA\, France and Spain. Her work can be found in important collections such as the Oulu Museum of Modern Art in Oulu\, Finland. Her latest group show in Finland was at SINKKA\, Contemporary Art Museum of Kerava in Finland\, and participated in 2 group shows at Stone Sparrow Gallery in New York City in 2020. \nBorn to a diplomatic family\, her family continuously moved from country to country since her birth in 1972. She lived in Argentina\, Poland\, the U.K\, Mexico and Spain. She spent 21yrs in Mexico which deeply impacted her being and the art she makes. \nAs her family was continually moving from country to country as a child\, Ilona often felt alone as she had to say goodbye to her friends. So as not to feel lonely she began drawing at a very early age and found solice in the creatures she painted. \nIlona and her Mother have a very special bond. Her Mother collected Art and antiques and encouraged Ilona to see beauty all around observing nature and animals. Surrounded by art and antiques Ilona had the chance to observe and study art in many forms. Her Mother crossed over to the Other Side in 2016\, their special bond continues. \nIlona’s paintings center on anthropomorphic creatures or girl like figures\, surrounded by nature or objects of obscure symbolic and ethereal meaning. Her narrative storytelling is both cute and cruel\, at times disclosing her own personal views on the delicate relationship between man and spirit nature. \nCurrently Ilona is working on a new body of work for upcoming exhibitions\, she also teaches oil painting and mentors other artists who are interested in pursuing a career in painting. \nIlona moved to the US in 2016. She and her husband John\, their Shar-Pei\, Liisa Lightray and their cat\, Frida Katlo all live in Atlanta in a romantic white house. \nDaily Parking\nThe parking entrance is located on Meadow Lane. Turn right after entering the complex. Marked parking spots are located on the right\, near the gallery’s garden. Spaces on the left are first come first serve. Overflow parking is available on terraced levels below the gallery. \nContact gallery@spruillarts.org with inquiries.

SUMMARY:Diplomatic Dialogue: A Breakfast Meeting with Yoonjoo Park\, Consul General of Korea
DESCRIPTION:The United States and the ROK share a long history of cooperation based on mutual trust\, shared values of democracy\, human rights\, and the rule of law\, common strategic interests\, and an enduring friendship. The two countries work together to combat regional and global threats and to strengthen their economies. The United States and the ROK continue to coordinate closely on respective engagements with the DPRK\, the implementation of sanctions\, and inter-Korean cooperation. \nThe United States has maintained Army\, Air Force\, Navy\, and Marine personnel in the ROK in support of its commitment under the U.S.-ROK Mutual Defense Treaty to help the ROK defend itself against external aggression. As the ROK’s economy has developed (it joined the OECD in 1996)\, trade and investment ties have become an increasingly important aspect of the U.S.-ROK relationship\, including through implementation of the amended Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA). \nKorea is currently the 8th largest export market for Georgia and ranks 4th among Georgia’s importer nations. Georgia is home to at least 75 Korean facilities\, of which at least 28 are manufacturing locations. These Korean-affiliated companies currently employ over 10\,000 Georgians. \nThe state of Georgia has had continuous representation in Korea since 1985. Three Georgia communities have sister city agreements with South Korea: Atlanta – Daegu; Cobb County – Seongdong-Gu; and Gwinnett County -Gangnam-Gu \nThe Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) in Savannah has an established relationship with ports of Korea and offers six weekly shipping services to the Port of Busan. GPA’s Brunswick Port also offers fortnightly shipping services to Incheon\, Masan\, Pyongtaek and Kunsan. \nAbout Yoonjoo Park \nConsul General Park earned a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Seoul National University in 1993 and a master’s degree in International Trade and Investment from George Washington University in 2002. \nHe passed the High Diplomatic Service Examination and joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1995. He has lived and worked in Korea\, the Islamic Republic of Iran\, Australia\, and the United States of America. He was appointed First Secretary at the Korean Embassy in the United States of America in 2004. \nHe held various positions such as Counsellor of the Korean Embassy in Iran\, Director of North America Division Ⅱ\, Deputy Consul-General of the Korean Consulate General in Boston\, Counsellor of the Korean Embassy in Australia\, Deputy Director-General for North American Affairs\, and Director-General for Human Resources. \nHe arrived in Atlanta in June 2021 to take the position of Consul General of the Republic of Korea. The Consulate opened in Atlanta in 1976 and covers the states Georgia\, Alabama\, Florida\, North Carolina\, South Carolina\, and Tennessee and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

SUMMARY:Ambassador Discussion -- Estonia: Forging a Digital Society
DESCRIPTION:Imagine life where the phrase “government bureaucracy” doesn’t make you wince. That life exists in Estonia where 99 percent of public services are available online 24 hours a day. Nearly a third of Estonians vote via the internet. They file their taxes online in under five minutes. Parents of newborns access benefits almost automatically. Estonians are living in the world’s first digital society.\n​\nWhen Estonia gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991\, its technological resources were obsolete. Estonian leaders viewed this as an extraordinary opportunity to catch up with the West. Today\, Estonia is home to more tech unicorns than any other small country globally\, thanks to digital immigration and friendly tax rates. (Fun fact: Skype was founded in Estonia in 2003!)\n​\nThe World Affairs Council of Atlanta will dive into the details with the Ambassador of Estonia to the United States\, Kristjan Prikk. Join the council at the Smith Gambrell Russell Law Firm for breakfast on Friday\, March 4\, 2022\, at 8 AM ET. Ambassador Prikk will share insights and answer our questions on Estonia‘s state of affairs\, including NATO\, Ukraine-Russia tensions\, the strengths and risks of its digital society\, and more.\n​\nSpots are limited. Register today to secure your spot!\n​\nThis program is sponsored by the Honorary Consulate of Estonia in Georgia.

SUMMARY:International Women's Day with the Author Regina Düring
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of International Women’s Day\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta and Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta cordially invite you to a virtual book discussion with Swiss/German author Regina Dürig about her new novel “Federn Lassen” (engl. Losing Skin). \nAn author\, performer\, and lecturer in literary writing\, Regina Dürig has published miniatures\, short stories\, radio plays\, children‘s books\, and young adult novels. She has received numerous awards for her work\, including the Peter Härtling Prize\, the Wartholz Literature Prize\, and the Literature Prize of the Canton of Bern. Born in Mannheim\, Germany\, Regina Dürig moved to Switzerland to study Literary Writing in Biel\, where she currently resides. \nRegina Dürig’s novel “Federn Lassen” dips into different scenes from the life of a woman growing up in the present day\, with the book spanning her life from the ages of four to thirty-eight. It depicts various situations of violence this woman experiences ranging from subtle psychological violence to physical assaults. The book is narrated in the second person\, without ever revealing the name of the woman. Regina Dürig’s novel is a valuable addition to a growing genre\, exploring themes closely connected with the Everyday Sexism and #metoo movements. \nParticipants are invited to order the original German version of the book “Federn lassen” in advance of the book discussion on March 8\, 2022! A limited amount of copies for the price of $20 can be purchased now\, look for the button in the top right corner. As the book has not been published in the U.S. yet\, this is a unique opportunity for participants to get their hands on a novel that – at a time when casual violence against women and minorities is very much in the news – is a necessary contribution to a timely debate! \nEveryone is welcome to join the discussion\, regardless of whether you have purchased the book or not.\nThe discussion will be moderated by Raegan Lemmond\, German Instructor from the University of Alabama. The event will be bilingual\, in German and English. The author will speak German and an interpreter will translate consecutively\, meaning all levels of German are welcome! \n***PLEASE NOTE:\nFor questions about the event or the book please contact the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta at atlanta.info@eda.admin.ch \nFor questions about payments please contact the Goethe Zentrum at info@goetheatlanta.org

SUMMARY:Author Discussion - Giving Up Is Not an Option by Dr. Hani Khoury
DESCRIPTION:Join the Alif Institute and Dr. Hani Khoury for an exciting discussion over the inspiring story of his experiences coming to the United States found in his newest book: “Giving Up Is Not an Option”. Books will be available for purchase before the event. \nHani Q. Khoury is Professor and Coordinator of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics\, Science\, and Informatics\nCollege of Professional Advancement at Mercer Univesity. In his memoirs\, Professor Khoury narrates the highlights of the complexities of his life and the events which have nurtured it. He was sentenced to an electric wheelchair at the age of 18 due to a progressive physical disorder. His story\, like many others\, is filled with challenges\, setbacks\, dreams\, and\, most importantly\, hope. The juxtaposition of two very different cultural settings\, Israeli-occupied Palestine\, and the United States of America\, will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the meaning and implications of liberty and self-determination\, both individually and collectively. \nHe tells the story of his departure from the long-disputed land in Palestine to a new world that has become for him a place of new beginnings and friendships\, unforeseen challenges\, and personal and professional accomplishments. \nAccompanied by his parents\, he began his journey to freedom on August 12\, 1983\, when the plane from Amman\, Jordan landed at JFK International Airport in New York City. His new life began that day in a country that is known for its freedoms and the rule of law. In this new world and with the help of new and advanced technologies\, he was able to leave the past for a new and promising future. In his newly adopted country\, Hani was able to obtain his higher education\, form a family\, gain employment as a professor of mathematics at the university level\, and become a productive member of society. In this landscape of dreams that we call America\, and previously in his homeland in Palestine\, he has met many wonderful people from different faiths and backgrounds. Their unparalleled humanity and support have made it possible for him to live out the truth that “when and where there is a will\, there is a way.” \nThe event is free and open to the public with RSVP. Light refreshments will be served. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to hear about this piece!
