Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
The true story of an ordinary woman living an extraordinary existence all over the world. “Gelman doesn’t just observe the cultures she visits, she participates in them, becoming emotionally involved in the people’s lives. This is an amazing travelogue.” —Booklist At the age of forty-eight, on the verge of a divorce, Rita Golden Gelman left an elegant life in L.A. to follow her dream of travelling the world, connecting with people in cultures all over the globe. In 1986, Rita sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Rita’s example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults.

Nomad
Author: Russell James
Publisher: Te Neues Publishing Group
ISBN: 9783832795917
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
In the last decade it has evolved from James' individual attempt to understand the clash of ancient and modern cultures he witnessed growing up in Australia to what it is today - a powerful expression of partnership and reconciliation in action through art, music and film that has become a global example of true collaboration across deep cultural divides.From its humble beginnings as a photographic and film exhibition in New York in 1999, NOMAD TWO WORLDS endured the years leading up to the global event known in the political narrative simply as The Apology, the 2008 public apology made to Indigenous Australians by the then Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. Developing NOMAD TWO WORLDS has involved a decade of groundwork, including travel to remote regions of northern Western Australia with senior Indigenous custodians who have provided access to sites of great cultural significance to the Aboriginal people of that region. Burial grounds, gorges, stunning coastlines and desert locations, often restricted and secret, were allowed to be photographed and ?lmed by James in the spirit of meaningful reconciliation. . The result, an unprecedented artistic collaboration of hand embellished art photographs, form the heart of a NOMAD TWO WORLDS installation. The ABC Documentary released in 2011 'Becoming Jangala' is a detailed look back at the creation of NOMAD TWO WORLDS and the special bond between Bieundurry and James and can be viewed on this site.
