Foundry Gallery

Exhibition dates: March 30 – May 1st 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, April 1st 6:00 to 8:00 pm
Artist Talk: Sunday April 10th 3:00 pm
About her Show “Colors Of Peace” Fleming says, “We are bombarded by reports of devastation of
human life around the world. We yearn for a peace that would make it better for those who suffer and
mourn. And for all of us who can merely watch and send a few bucks with a heavy heart, we long for
peace as well.
I go to the studio to get the colors of peace on the canvas. These paintings are the products of my
desire to find peace. The Colors of Peace are bright and hopeful.
Within this show the hope and joy come from my grandson, Max, who is happy and innocent. Several
of the paintings are dedicated to him and to his future that will have peace woven through it.”
Fleming has been working with acrylics and collage for many years and has shown her paintings
widely in the US and several countries overseas. She began painting at Vassar College and
continued this work during and after her 25-year career in public policy which ended with a stint as
President Bill Clinton’s AIDS Policy Director. She has always focused her work on disenfranchised
and disadvantaged people here and in other countries.

George Washington University
Elliott School of International Affairs
Lindner Family Commons, Room 602
1957 E Street NW
Empire of Humanity explores humanitarianism’s remarkable growth from its humble origins in the early
nineteenth century to its current prominence in global life. In contrast to most contemporary accounts of
humanitarianism that concentrate on the last two decades, GW University Professor of International
Affairs and Political Science Michael Barnett ties the past to the present, connecting the antislavery and
missionary movements of the nineteenth century to today’s peacebuilding missions, the Cold War
interventions in places like Biafra and Cambodia to post–Cold War humanitarian operations in regions
such as the Great Lakes of Africa and the Balkans; and the creation of the International Committee of the
Red Cross in 1863 to the emergence of the major international humanitarian organizations of the twentieth
century.

Catholic Peacebuilding in East Africa
Tuesday, April 5, 5:00 p.m.

The Berkley Center
3307 M Street NW

Can religiously-inspired peacebuilding make a difference in Congo and East

Africa? What makes faith-based peacebuilding unique from other attempts to
resolve conflict and promote reconciliation? Are there lessons from Africa that can
be applied elsewhere? These and other questions will be addressed by John
Katunga, Catholic Relief Services' (CRS) regional technical advisor for
peacebuilding and justice in east Africa. He provides technical guidance and
assistance to CRS peacebuilding and justice programs in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan,
Tanzania, Uganda, and Eritrea. Katunga is former acting director of the Nairobi
Peace Initiative-Africa and is a senior trainer for the Woodrow Wilson
International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., where he provides
leadership training for government leaders, military officials, and police in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi.

Program in Conflict Resolution, and the Mortara Center for International Studies.

Shades of Pain and Hope: Art and Photography by Victims of Terror & Rocket Attacks in Israel
(April 1 - 10)
Reception
Sunday, April 10, 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington - Rockville
6125 Montrose Road
Rockville, MD, 20852

(301) 881-0100
The art in this exhibit reflects work done by children and mothers from Sderot who are suffering
physical/emotional trauma from the fall of Kassam rockets; the photography reflects the work of victims of suicide
bombings and the Second Lebanon War in the Haifa area who have learned to use the camera lens as a means of
soulful expression of the trauma that endures. Both projects, photography from the North and the artwork from
the South, represent the different shades of trauma and of the ensuing hope that prevails. Operation Embrace, a
non-profit organization based in Potomac, MD that assists injured victims of terror attacks in Israel, has provided
funding for creative therapeutic interventions such as art and photography to help victims of terror attacks move
forward in their lives.

Featuring:
Dr. Christopher A. McNally, Director of the China-US Relations Program, University of Hawaii-Hilo; Non-resident Fellow,
East-West Center
For more than thirty years, China's development model has relied on the extensive use of production factors which have
been relatively abundant in China, especially labor, land, certain natural resources, and in the 2000s, increasing amounts
of capital. However, this strategy, which created an export and investment-driven pattern of development and a
consequential pattern of industrialization, must inevitably come to end. Dr. Christopher A. McNally posits that Chinese
efforts to undertake a transition from export and investment-driven growth towards consumption-driven growth are likely to
rely on continued state guidance. In this seminar, he will also discuss how the Chinese government may attempt to steer
the economy towards a new growth path and highlight the effects policy changes might have on the global free market
system.

Featuring Peter Ackerman, Founding Chair, International Center on Nonviolent Conflict, Coauthor, A Force More
Powerful: A Century of Nonviolent Conflict; and Jack Goldstone, Hazel Professor of Public Policy, George Mason
University Editor, The Encyclopedia of Political Revolutions; moderated by David Boaz, Executive Vice President,
Cato Institute.
What explains the swift collapse of what were considered some of the most stable regimes in the Arab world?
Drawing on scholarship and his Center's experience in supporting pro-democracy activists in Egypt and around
the world, Peter Ackerman will describe factors — such as strategy and careful planning — that are common to
successful civil resistance movements. According to Ackerman, nonviolent campaigns have a better record at
bringing down dictators than violent confrontations. Jack Goldstone will describe the conditions that give rise to
revolutions, highlight the vulnerabilities of "sultanistic" dictatorships, and identify which Middle Eastern
regimes are most likely to retain power.
Cato events, unless otherwise noted, are free of charge. To register for this event, please email
