Mirit Ben Nun
Born August 8, 1966
These paintings express a personal need to delineate images and fantasies abundant with
color and emotional explosion. Signs, lines and the materials appear of their own volition
and develop as an external language bridging the eye, the hand and the painted surface.
During the making of a painting the power of the shapes emanate from an unconscious
and concealed inner dimension.
Line by line, painting after painting while repeating shapes and patterns, a creation
evolves into new shapes and patterns. With a determination that reaches obsession, Mirit
Ben-Nun keeps on returning to her art of meticulous decoration. A strong presence of
primitive ornamentation provides the artwork with a tribal facet on one hand and a
feminine touch on the other, encompassing embroidery, bead threading and weaving
among others. Ben- Nun’s beautifying urge carries within it an archetypal strata, mythic
at times, which empowers her authentic expression.

The document discusses consciousness and free will from an emergent perspective. It argues that free will emerges from the complex interaction between our minds, bodies, and environment. Through cognition, homeostasis, personality development, social interactions, and environmental feedback, our sense of agency and ability to make choices evolves in a way that is consistent with both relativity and determinism. While free will may not be strictly proven, it can be understood as a higher-level phenomenon that arises from complex, interdependent systems operating across many levels.

African club music is gaining popularity in London. Promoters like Eric Soul have spent years trying to bring contemporary African sounds to London clubs. While African music events have occurred for decades, they often focused on traditional styles rather than modern genres from the continent. Recently, new promoters have emerged playing emerging African fusion styles like Afrobeat, kuduro, and coupé décalé. This has helped shift perceptions and attract diverse crowds no longer tied only to Caribbean culture. New generations of African artists fusing traditional and electronic styles make the music more accessible to European audiences. Promoters are now seizing on these genres and finding audiences open to exploring new global dance music styles from Africa.

Through his show Wahala, Eric highlights African artists blending traditional sounds with modern influences. His goal is to document the evolution of African music and shift perceptions of African heritage. Afrogroov started as a club night mixing African styles with urban genres like hip hop and has grown into a collective behind Wahala that aims to give economic relevance to African music and bust stereotypes. Eric believes interest in new African music represents a cultural shift as people become less in denial of African identity.

Crossing Musics Borders I Hate World MusicThe New York.docxannettsparrow
Crossing Music's Borders: 'I Hate World Music'
The New York Times, October 3, 1999
By David Byrne
I hate world music. That's probably one of the perverse reasons I have been asked to write about it.
The term is a catchall that commonly refers to non-Western music of any and all sorts, popular
music, traditional music and even classical music. It's a marketing as well as a pseudomusical term
— and a name for a bin in the record store signifying stuff that doesn't belong anywhere else in the
store. What's in that bin ranges from the most blatantly commercial music produced by a country,
like Hindi film music (the singer Asha Bhosle being the best well known example), to the ultra-
sophisticated, super-cosmopolitan art-pop of Brazil (Caetano Veloso, Tom Zé, Carlinhos Brown); from
the somewhat bizarre and surreal concept of a former Bulgarian state-run folkloric choir being
arranged by classically trained, Soviet-era composers (Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares) to Norteño
songs from Texas and northern Mexico glorifying the exploits of drug dealers (Los Tigres del Norte).
Albums by Selena, Ricky Martin and Los Del Rio (the Macarena kings), artists who sell millions of
records in the United States alone, are racked next to field recordings of Thai hill tribes. Equating
apples and oranges indeed.
So, from a purely democratic standpoint, one in which all music is equal, regardless of sales and
slickness of production, this is a musical utopia.
So Why Am I Complaining?
In my experience, the use of the term world music is a way of dismissing artists or their music as
irrelevant to one's own life. It's a way of relegating this "thing" into the realm of something exotic
and therefore cute, weird but safe, because exotica is beautiful but irrelevant; they are, by
definition, not like us. Maybe that's why I hate the term. It groups everything and anything that
isn't "us" into "them." This grouping is a convenient way of not seeing a band or artist as a creative
individual, albeit from a culture somewhat different from that seen on American television. It's a
label for anything at all that is not sung in English or anything that doesn't fit into the Anglo-
Western pop universe this year. (So Ricky Martin is allowed out of the world music ghetto — for a
while, anyway. Next year, who knows? If he makes a plena record, he might have to go back to the
salsa bins and the Latin mom and pop record stores.) It's a none too subtle way of reasserting the
hegemony of Western pop culture. It ghettoizes most of the world's music. A bold and audacious
move, White Man!
There is some terrific music being made all over the world. In fact, there is more music, in sheer
quantity, currently defined as world music, than any other kind. Not just kinds of music, but volume
of recordings as well. When we talk about world music we find ourselves talking about 99 percent of
the music on this planet. It would be strange to imagine, as many multinat.

1. what kind of art/music does Mozambique,Africa have?
There is a good arts and music scene in Mozambique, mainly focused on Maputo. The mian local
music is called Marabanta (check the spelling) which is mainly guiter and drum based with a hint of
latin influence coming in, although quite a lot of it sounds the same. You can buy a 'Rough Guide to
Marabanta (Mozambican Music) if you're interested, I guess amazon will have it.
Most of the bars are jazz based, really lively good groups play at Chez Gerard (at the train station),
the French cultural institute (they have a website which you oculd google for) and elsewhere. A lot
of restaurants also have live afro jazz and there are some live jam session bars to go along to.
UB40 played here a while ago and a lot of the regional stars from SA and Zimbabwe pass through
regularly playing african vocal and traditional music, all of a good quality and are very popular.
There are several nightclubs where you can here live music and the normal african disco mixes
(Madonna to Marabenta!).
This is just touching the surface I think and you could find out much more.
There are loads of arts and craft markets although most things are generic to southern africa. There
are several local artists which you can buy on the street and then there are some small private
galleries which offer more upmarket painting. Mainly modern african art which I like.
You can also go down to see sculptures made out of old AK47s, the guy had an exhibition at the
British Museum (thrown of weapons) which was impressive.
There are regular exhibitions on around town either of photographs, art, crafts, international films,
etc.
Outside of Maputo things are a bit slower but still lots of music, a few regional museums and some
touring exhibitions.
Of course not all tastes are catered for but if you're opoen to new things there's a lot going on in the
arts and cultural scene and it is improving.
