Editor’s Desk Cultural Voice (CV) continues to push the limits and find innovative ways to encourage intercultural dialogue. in february, we launched our ambassadors’ Circle of friends for Culture initiative, which evolved out of our commitment to not only showcase culture through our ezine, but to practically facilitate pathways through which we can develop a critical understanding of each other.

we welcome the newest addition to our advisory board, ignasi guardans, former director general of spain’s instituto de la Cinematografía y de las artes audiovisuales (iCaa); former first director for Public affairs at the European broadcasting union (Ebu); and co-founder and manager of the non-profit consultancy, Culture & media agency Europe (CumEdiaE) based in brussels. we are confident that guardans is committed to similar values and will create new opportunities and avenues for CV’s growth.

in this issue, we chat with Pavan ahluwalia, the fastest henna artist in the world, according to the guinness book of world records, as well as amy selwyn, managing director of both storytegic and Eurovision’s platform News xchange. we challenge your perspective with photography from max Earle, while engaging you in the delights of exploring Creole cultures with sara stranovsky. finally, we take you “backstage” to meet saudi artists who are changing the landscape of design in the middle East.

look out for the CV team in madrid, spain this april! we will be representing at the zinc shower festival, dubbed as the first meeting-show for entrepreneurs, investors and professionals of the cultural and Creative industries.

we thank you, our readers, for the continued support and always encourage you to feel free to share your culture with us! Email us at culturalvoice@gmail.com, join the conversations on our blog www.culturalvoice.blogspot.com and follow us on facebook and twitter @culturalvoice.

Blessings, Steffi T

Pavan Ahluwalia savours every bite when her mom prepares

her favourite ethnic, traditional Indian dish called Butter

Chicken with a modest pouring of red wine at the side. This is

but a small serving of her taste in life’s finest offerings. In fact,

she offers something of her own: Pavan is the fastest henna

artist in the world, according to Guinness World Record. In a single hour, she painted an

impressive 511 armbands.

Though a born and bred Londoner, her roots trace

back to India, the birthplace of her parents. She is one of

the world’s best henna tattoo artists, if not the best.

HennatHe icing on

tHe cake

The henna tattoo is a traditional Indian art work that has taken the world by storm through its commercialization in the West, parlaying its successes in industries diverse and varied, from body art to bridal cakes. The influence of culture viscerally affects her work: “I like to see my art as bridging a gap between the East and the West.” But, Ahluwalia declares, “I’ve added a Western twist to the traditional art.”

The tattoo is a temporary body art that lasts anywhere between 10 to 14 days. The powdered henna dye, derived from a plant, is mixed with eucalyptus oil to form a paste. Unlike the inked tattoo, the design of the henna tattoo is flowery and lines tend to be curvaceous. This creates a feminine appeal: “It’s done mainly on women because it is seen as a lady’s attire. It’s like make-up.” However, Ahluwalia is clear that some men opt for the body art as a type of masculine tattoo wear.

Dreaming the UnimaginableOne of the hallmarks of Ahluwalia’s work is her ability to extend the henna into other art forms. She says, “I’m actually doing embroidery. I have done it before on tights. The opportunities are limitless and it is very adaptable and I make it fit to anything.” Perhaps her most lucrative extension of the henna is her work on bridal cakes, though when people refer to Ahluwalia’s tattoo art, they often say ‘your work is like icing on a cake’. Moreso in reference to the tools used which include jacquard bottles and cones.

Currently, Ahluwalia’s work on bridal cakes is her greatest income-generator. However, her horizon seems to be without boundaries. She is the author of the book, Women Body Art and aims to dabble in some canvas art, as well as experimenting with other surfaces, such as window displays. One of her works was featured in the window display at Harrods, one of England’s best-known department stores. This was an unimaginable feat for Ahluwalia. “It’s just phenomenal. I was so used to seeing names like Chanel and Ferrari. To see my name and my work on a huge window display was a dream come true.”

“The tattoo is temporary body art...

oil and paste.”

Entrepreneurial AppetiteAhluwalia stressed the importance of networking when talking to CV. She admitted that at first, media outlets weren’t receptive to listening to her business plan. “They didn’t care, I’ll be honest. But once I got the Guinness World Record and once I have done a few celebrities, I gained traction.” Having graduated from the University of Westminster with a degree in Marketing, Ahluwalia knew what it took to succeed. As talented and qualified as she would have been as a marketing officer, she confesses that a traditional 9-5 job at the desk “does not suit me. I believe that everyone has so much potential. And I feel that the only way to go is to have your own business. I like to be a leader,” she says, hoping to inspire anyone who is trying to pave their own path.

For Ahluwalia, art is in the blood, it’s her life-force. She is quick to recommend that the most fulfilling adventure in this very short life is to always follow your passion, work hard and let the chips fall where they may.

Amy Selwyn:

Echoes of Courage, Openness and Truth

By Stefanie ThomasPhotos from News Xchange by Stefano Santucci

Many of us search for moments of freedom to reinvent who we are and how we impact our world. It was this call for greater positive impact, and the need to simply be open to exploration and learning, that led Amy Selwyn to opt for a new song. It was a “heart-wrenching” decision, but Selwyn, who at the time worked as a broadcaster with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), jumped on a plane to Rome in search of a more fulfilling destiny. Amy shared this experience and other gems in her interview with Cultural Voice. Forty-five years old at the time, Selwyn did not quite anticipate just how terrifying taking that flight and landing in a new city, jobless and at the mercy of opportunity, would be. Armed with innate creativity, talent, a strong resume and a solid network, Selwyn hired someone (whom she found while surfing the internet in a café) to guide her, not in search of a job, but through art galleries, museums and historical sites from Rome to Ostia Antica and beyond.

Beneath the romantic melodies of Selwyn’s journey, we can find echoes of courage, openness and truth. These rhythms continue to manifest years later in her work as Managing Director of Storytegic, the story-meets-strategy agency for media brand development, which she founded in 2004.

hired someone (who she found while surfing the internet in a café) to guide her, not in search

and historical sites from Rome to Ostia Antica and beyond.

One of Selwyn’s key clients is Eurovision and she is delighted to serve as Managing Director of News Xchange: A Eurovision Event, the international news industry’s premier conversation and gathering event. The event brings together the world’s top news executives to tackle difficult issues facing the community and develop strategies for the years ahead, share knowledge and network. “One of the goals for News Xchange” she says, “is to share the stories and the inspiration, as well as the innovation.”

As a storyteller, consultant and MD of the News Xchange platform on behalf of Eurovision, Selwyn is convinced news is still a “fantastic career” in the context of its current evolution. She admits the distribution platforms have multiplied and the definition of broadcasting has broadened with the influx of social and other new media platforms. However, she views these as opportunities for innovation.

“One of the goals for News Xchange” she

says, “is to share the stories and the inspiration, as well as the

innovation.”

10

In her work with clients across the media spectrum, from public service broadcasters to private channels and start-ups, Selwyn seeks to nurture the creativity of industry stakeholders and to tap into current trends relevant to both new-age media and traditional broadcasters. She says, “The number one thing my company is seeing now is a real need – and willingness – to look at the B word: brand. To redefine traditional media by adapting alternative ways of storytelling, yes, while at the same time, remaining true to the craft and to the values of journalism.”

Selwyn loves Indian, Japanese and Middle Eastern cuisines and is looking forward to her upcoming project at Camp Sunshine, where she will be a storyteller for children who are terminally ill. It is no surprise that her life motto echoes that of Steve Jobs: “Stay Hungry, Stay Curious,” and surrounds the idea of striking out and having an unconventional life. As advice, Selwyn says to young people looking for careers in media, “Don’t listen to anyone who says journalism is dead.”

Selwyn also shares that she inherited her moral compass and love of language from her father. With her magnanimous spirit and passion for life, she remains true to her pursuit to share stories, foster goodness and explore truth through Storytegic and other aspects of her life’s journey.

“Don’t listen to anyone who says journalism is dead.”

FFrom excursions in Brazil to a brief venture in Cuba; a planned journey to France and unexpected discoveries in Senegal, Sara Stranovsky travels to many lands and meets many peoples. A self-described lover of cultures, Stranovsky found special appeal in the Cape Verde Islands. She sketches the allure of the islands as bursting with “Creole” influences: “It’s a really new place and there is no indigenous community, and it has historical roots in the harrowing period of the slave trade.” The language of the Cape Verdean people is Creole, which is a Portuguese-influenced dialect. Stranovsky was captivated by the openness and serenity of the Cape Verde Islands.

A Rapping RepresentativeStranovsky’s adventures brought her to Paris, France. It is there she was introduced to the Senegalese diasporic community, which ignited her quest for deeper cultural connections. From there, she journeyed to Senegal, where she spent many months. This provided opportunities to be consummately emerged in the culture of the people. Stranovsky’s magnetic pull to the people was evident through her participation in the local community, creating artistic and vocal collaborations with rap and hip-hop artists. “That was a more musical aspect of my cultural exchange experience, but all the while I was there, I was learning their traditional movement styles, even though I was in this hip-hop scene.” In Senegal the stars seemed to align, and Stranovsky got the chance to study traditional Senegalese dance, an unforeseen but welcome surprise. She had long been fascinated with Creole, noting “the idea of Creole interested me.”

By Derefe Chevannes

From Senegal, Stranovsky’s cultural excursions and travels brought her to Brazil. There, particularly in the city of Salvador, she saw much of the same vestiges of the Creole culture as she did in the Cape Verde Islands. While there, she learnt Portuguese, something she considers a “memorable experience.” Yet, she refuses to minimize her cultural experiences as “mere travel.” In fact, she argues passionately that she is intent on “finding moments for intercultural collaboration, rather than travelling — finding common human experiences in places that are so different.”

Artful Serendipity Stranovsky was born in New Jersey, United States. Her father had immigrated to the U.S. from the Czech Republic. Her mom has always been supportive of her aspirations for the arts; however, her father was at best described as skeptical. She admits that her father dabbles in arts, listening to Mexican Maraca. Stranovsky grew up studying ballet and continued this throughout high school. In striking serendipity, she broke a leg while in college, which provided her with a much-needed hiatus to segue into other arts forms, which included singing and other more contemporary, flexible dance forms such as jazz and hip-hop. For her, these styles were a far cry from the norms of strict, almost rigid ballet.

From first-hand experiences, Stranovsky’s cultural adventures provided her with an appreciation for the arts and opened a new understanding of the full extent of the power of art. She once used art as a tool for social activism, confronting emotional and difficult issues such as HIV/AIDS awareness and tolerance. With a pregnant pause, she reminds us, “Art enables people to talk about things you’re not supposed to talk about.” She believes “art is a powerful motivator and communicator with extraordinary healing powers.”

Stranovsky is a lover of chocolate and finds pleasure — guilty pleasure — in listening to pop songs while cruising in her car and watching “Law & Order” episodes. Currently, she is pursuing a PH.D in Culture & Performance Studies in the department of World Arts and Cultures at UCLA. No doubt, her vivacious spirit and eclectic pursuits, from filming to snowboarding, will serve her well in the years to come.

“Art enables people to talk about things you’re not supposed to talk about.”

PERSPECTIVE:

Max EarleMax Earle is one of Jamaica’s most talented photographers. Capturing scenes across Jamaica and beyond, he shared the foundations

of his unique perspective with Cultural Voice (CV). As a filmmaker, producer, writer and the Creative Director of Frame by Frame,

Earle co-produced the multiple award-winning in-flight video series “Island Stylee.” The in-flight series boasts the accolade of “Best

In-flight Video in the World,” for seven consecutive years, awarded at the US International Film and Video Festival.

Unapologetically loyal to his Jamaican roots, Earle believes in finding the good in all situations. Through his struggles, which include

overcoming alcoholism, Earle continues to share light and love with all. In one of his recent projects involving young men who reside

in Tivoli Gardens, a notorious inner city Jamaican “garrison,” he worked along with Tammy Haynes and Rozi Chung to engage young

men in a photo therapy project. That project served as the catalyst for the creation of the NGO Inscape Foundation, which offers

free mental health care to inner city residents.

If you could share three lessons you’ve learned from your own life experiences with others, what would they be and why?• Try not to be judgmental in your evaluations of people.• Most, if not all, experiences you go through will have a positive spin on them, though you may have to change your perspective. • It is OK not to be liked, or to not like everyone you meet.

When did you fall in love with photography?I do remember vividly the first time I saw an image being developed in a darkroom at my high school, Munro College. I was hooked! Do you have a motto for life?Yes. It is an adopted one from a tribute book called “The Last Lecture” and it is simply, “You can’t change the deck of cards or the hand you’re dealt, only the way you play your hand.”

20

What has been your most valuable life experience?What you see isn’t necessarily what exists. Everyone and everything has a history, or “back story” that has contributed to who or what they are right now. Having been brought to my knees literally by two separate incidents, I have survived alcoholism and severe chronic depression. As a result, I am far more empathetic in my views of others, and do consider my place here on earth at this time to have a greater purpose.

What do you think about making money from art? This is a great question because of the timing! I am about to go into production and publish my first book, which consists of my beliefs, and images I took purely for the joy of taking and sharing. This brings into focus “the power of intention,” or the reason I took the image in the first place. Most of my work shared was originally for no commercial value, but rather were purely aesthetical in creation. Nothing can change that – ever. The publishing and printing and eventual sale of the book has nothing to do with how, when and why the images in it were created. I also believe that as an artist, one has to create a financial path, and what better way to earn a living than by doing something you are gifted with, and are passionate about?

Has there been anything that you have struggled with that has been resolved through art?No, not personally, but I have worked with and seen the results of a very successful image therapy project in Tivoli Gardens. I also hear from friends on Facebook that they feel a sense of calm when they see some of my work, so I hope in a way I am helping them too.

21

What is your vision of Jamaica for the next 50 years?I see a Jamaica that will remain as beautiful as she always was, but unfortunately, still struggling socially, politically and economically. Unless there is a radical shift in the process of governance, we will keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. There has to be a removal of the absolute power wielded by our elected representatives, making them answerable to US as a nation. There also needs to be much greater importance put on the education of our people. The more intelligent we all are, will relate directly to how our government serves us, and the better our lives will be.

Any additional words to share?To paraphrase Barack Obama’s saying, “We are the generation we’ve been waiting on; we are the change that we seek.” This is a very powerful motivational tool for us all. If we don’t take the responsibility to make this world of ours a better place, then we will have failed at the time we travel on and hand it over to the next generation. If we all adapted our base of living and caring, to what I refer to as “heart-based living,” then the world as we know it would be in a much better place. We don’t need armies, foundations or governments to do this. All we need is for each ONE of us to do so.

Desertrose:Backstage with sauDi artists Maha attaranD anD Lina gazzaz

By Lauren Burn

BBackstage, an event produced by Tashkeil in partnership with BO-M Galleries, is designed to feature Middle Eastern regional talent. It encourages audience members to rethink their own fashion tastes and challenge perceptions while developing the local industry. Built on the success of previous showings in 2012, Backstage has developed a reputation for showcasing some of the most talented artists and artisans within the region. Included in the lineup this year were the works of Maha Attar and Lina Gazzaz.

Attar uses traditional styles and modern fabrics. Her penchant for bright colors, rare skins and healing stones has become the hallmark of her Solo brand of designer bags. Her line has been described as “upscale elegance,” as well as “exotic” and unique. Solo bags became an immediate favourite locally and, four years after its inception, they went on to make their US debut in August 2009.

Probably one of the most daunting tasks for an artist lies in those moments just before creation. This process is an act of faith founded on an innate desire to create when there is only a vision of what you hope to achieve to propel you forward, compounded by the nagging uncertainty that that vision may not take the desired form. For Saudi artists Gazzaz and Attar, whose collections were featured alongside the likes of Amina K’s scarves (Egypt), Miss E’s bags (Lebanon) and Alessandra Jabban’s Abayas (KSA), the challenge, some might say, is heightened by the decidedly conservative sway of Islamic culture. Art, however, was founded on the principle of dissolving barriers and communicating across cultures.

27

The artistry achieved by Gazzaz, Attar and their counterparts demonstrates the growing, thriving, inimitable quality of the craft – the reality that art and the ability to create something unique and artistic might not depend so much upon one’s influences, but moreso hinges on the ability to become the medium through which those influences can be used to create something that transcends the everyday and the commonplace, allowing us to color our lives with artful beauty and whimsy.
