SUMMARY:Exhibition: Celestial Mandala — Works on Paper by Heejung Kim
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) presents “Celestial Mandala\,” an exhibition featuring recent ink works on paper by Korean artist Heejung Kim. Her art is influenced by Tibetan Mandala paintings\, especially by the patterns and symbols found in them. Her star-like images come from actual dreams she has had since her childhood. Using repetition like the mantras in meditation\, Heejung pushes her creative visions into a hypnotic space carrying the viewer into a surreal sense of illusion and the feeling of moving through a vast void. The exhibition will be on view from May 31 – July 31\, 2019. \nThere will be an Opening Reception with short talk by the artist on May 31 from 7:30 – 8:30 pm in conjunction with Crossing Boundaries Concert Series Vol. 5 featuring Korean Traditional Music at 8:30 pm. This program has been curated by gamin\, with assistance from Suechung Koh\, Exhibitions Director & Curator at Gallery Yonhee at the Korean Community Center in NJ. \nAbout Artist Heejung Kim \nHeejung Kim produces both 2-D and 3-D artworks and the themes of her artworks stemmed from Buddhism\, her dream images\, and her own experiences. Kim has had numerous exhibitions nationally and her art has been reviewed in The New York Times and The Star-Ledger. Kim obtained an MA in Art Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her MFA from SUNY at Stony Brook. She currently teaches at the Raritan Valley Community College. heejungkim.weebly.com \nHer artist statement can be found here.

SUMMARY:Persian Daf (スーフィードラム) クラス
DESCRIPTION:CRSでは、Kamyar Arsaniのペルシャのdaf（スーフィードラム）レッスンをほぼ毎月のペースで行っています。このレッスンは、イランの達人から学び受けた、もう一人の達人から魔法の楽器を演奏することを学ぶ素晴らしい機会です。 Kamyarは何十年もの間演奏し歌い続け、そして最近ではCRSで行われるスーフィーダンスのイベントのために参加してくれています。。\ndafは大きなフレームドラムで、内側にたくさんのリングが付いています。演奏したときにリングが揺れてさらに音の効果が上がります。この音の効果が多様なサウンドを作り出しトランス状態へと誘導するので、スーフィーとペルシャ音楽にとってdafは不可欠な要素なのです。\n基本的なテクニックを一緒に学びませんか？　そして、9月に予定された次のスーフィーナイトのイベントでご一緒に演奏しましょう！ \n10:30 am – 11:45 am Beginner lesson\n11:45 am – 1 pm Intermediate lesson\n1 lesson $50\nboth lessons $70 \nBring your own Daf or frame drum\, a pen & a 3–line or 5–line blank musical staff notebook (or paper\, which you can find templates of online to print). \nSome Extra Dafs are available to rent ($5) for the class\, but you must RSVP because they are limited and you will want to get your own so you can practice! \nWhile many different dafs are available for purchase online\, one such as this one\, which has a synthetic head\, is reasonably priced at $119\, has good tone and construction\, is not too heavy\, and can be delivered in a few days by DHL\, would be a great choice for learning on:\nhttps://salamuzik.com/products/professional-daf-rad-404 \nAbout Instructor Kamyar Arsani \n“Kamyar Arsani is a multi-instrumentalist\, singer and songwriter born and raised in Tehran\, Iran. With his focus on Daf (Persian frame drum)\, through years he expanded circle of his instruments to Drums\, Percussions\, Guitar\, Ukulele and Melodica. He currently resides in Washington D.C\, teaching and performing around DMV area and working with individuals with Autism. \nKamyar began Daf lessons with Master Bijan Kamkar. Kamyar has spent over a decade performing and researching the Daf and its roots. His second choice of instrument was the kamancheh (Persian string bow instrument) and he studied it with Masters Ardeshir Kamkar and Sohrab Pournazeri. Ten years ago\, Kamyar and his family migrated to the United States around the same time that Iran’s Green Revolution was occurring. Kamyar’s songs and performances are very much inspired by the people of Iran and their history of struggle and protest. \nAt the time he started working as Autism classroom Teacher Assistant in Virginia and Washington DC public schools\, and the science of Behaviorism and creating motivation for students with Autism became his passion. But he did not put music behind\, Kamyar produced his first solo album in 2015\, entitled “No Freedom.” It was written on Guitar and Ukulele. The album was dedicated to those oppressed by Iranian Government. \nhttps://kamyararsani.bandcamp.com/releases \nAside from his solo work\, Kamyar also plays in other collaborations and has performed series of concerts at Kennedy Center\, Library of Congress\, Georgetown University\, UMD\, WVU and VOA. \nKamyar is also the poet and singer of “Time is Fire (TiF).” Their music has been described by Washington Post as “Music from a country that does not exist.” \nhttps://youtu.be/2rn3u92MAR8 (Kennedy Center Performance) \nKamyar takes on a different character performing with Time is Fire\, wearing his sikke (a Sufi hat representing the “tombstone of Ego”) and singing poems of resistance and freedom in English and Farsi. Within the four member band’s worldly\, funky\, post-punky\, afro-infected music\, the sikke and poems make perfect sense. Their sound has been evolving since the group first came together in 2015. Washington City Paper: “Time Is Fire could have limitless places to go.” Time is Fire recently released an EP that can be found here: \nhttps://electriccowbellrecords.bandcamp.com/album/stories-untold \nWith the new wave of hatred portrayed among our nation\, Kamyar could not sit quiet and wrote four songs inspired by Rumi and Hafez and Ferdowsi poems on his Daf\,inviting people to believe in a new spring together. He collaborated with Benjamin Schurr of Blight Records and produced an electronic backed Daf album called “Voices in the Dark” \, which can be found on Blight Records Bandcamp (Production of DC\,2018) \nhttps://music.blightrecords.org/album/voices-in-the-dark \nFor more information you can contact Kamyar at:\nKamyararsani31@gmail.com\nInstagram: @kamyararsani\nFB: Kamyar Arsani
