Subject: a Ukraine slide show and party Sat Nov 12th

To: “Rick Quinn” rickquinn55@gmail.com, “Teresa moore” gomeztmoore@gmail.com, “Terra Muzick” tmuzick@hotmail.comYou’re invited to my Ukraine Stories and Scorpio Party on Saturday, November 12th, with stories, photos and discussion from 6 to 8 pm and a party following at 2200 Adeline, Suite 320, Oakland.
I just got back from six weeks in Ukraine, where I found a flourishing democracy, a product of their Maidan Revolution, a Jewish revival, including a psychedelic synagogue at Kyiv’s Holocaust memorial, the facts behind the news on the Azov Regiment, and a veritable army of optimistic kids, despite being under existential attack by a fascist regime.
Although it may seem strange to have a party after such a report, both the Ukrainian kids and my Polish mother during the Holocaust pursued love, art and enjoyment during wartime. Indeed, the Scorpio Party, which I have been hosting for 45 years to celebrate art and difficult transitions, is suitable for this tricky balance.
Indeed, the story of progressive, tolerant and artistic Ukrainian needs to be told because Putin supporters on the left as well as the right will probably gain power with a Republican congress. While I do have an article, “The Kids of the Maidan: My Travels in Ukraine’s Democratic Revolution,” I am submitting it to publishers and will only place it in cineSOURCE http://www.cine-source.com/ in about a month.
For my other Ukraine coverage, see Ukraine’s Tragic, Complex History https://cinesourcemagazine.com/index.php?/site/comments/ukraines_complex_tragic_history/#.Y2tKwi1h0hv, or Ukraine Fights for Freedom in Song, Film and Television https://cinesourcemagazine.com/index.php?/site/comments/ukraine_fights_for_freedom_in_song_film_and_television/#.Y2tLAC1h0hs. By the way, I am happy to do my stories-photos presentation where ever there’s interest and an honorarium to be donated to my favorite Ukraine support group, Ukraine SOS.
