Young professionals practice diplomacy through the Arts
A joint project with the USC IGM Art Gallery and Los Angeles Saint Petersburg Sister City Committee
LOS ANGELES, June, 9, 2009
Twenty years ago Los Angeles and Saint Petersburg, Russia, became official sister cities with the goal to practice a joint cultural and diplomatic program. On Sunday, June, 28, 2 PM to 5 PM this process will be demonstrated at the University of Southern California (USC) Institute for Genetic Medicine Art Gallery on the USC Health Sciences Campus in East Los Angeles.
An international group of innovative young professionals plans to screen a short film about Saint Petersburg, Russia, by Italian Director Francesco Donni. A panel discussion on Russian and American art and culture will follow the screening. Russian born singer, Elizaveta Khripounova, will take guests on a musical tour of beautiful St. Petersburg, often referred to as the Venice of the North.
The USC Institute for Genetic Medicine Art Gallery and its current exhibitions, The Public Statement: Environment, Society and Institutions and Observations/Reflections will acquaint participants with art work by Russian and Chinese born artists and a first generation Mexican-American artist working in Los Angeles. Guests will participate in a dialog on rapid global change through themes on the force of nature and social institutions. Artists Alexey Steele, Raymond Carrillo, Larisa Pilinsky and Dr. Yingge Liu, or docents will engage visitors in the discussion.
The Los Angeles/St. Petersburg Sister City Committee is a 501 (c)(3)non- profit organization dedicated to facilitating the flow of culture, ideas and capital between the two cities. It has, over the years, promoted and supported cultural exhibits and exchanges, educational programs, medical exchanges, charitable projects, as well as facilitated business and technological cooperation between the two cities.
The June 28 event is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of the interchange between the two Sister Cities and funds to frame art for the LAC+USC Medical Center Art Council’s “Adopt a Wall for Art Program”. Acknowledging that “Art Enhances Healing”, the LAC+USC Medical Center Art Council was established in 2007 to obtain, install and maintain works of art for the new state-of-the-art LAC+USC Medical Center (familiarly known as County General Hospital) directly adjacent to the 80-year old facility in East Los Angeles.
