From Latin to Reggae, Indian to African, Planet, on the first Saturday of every month will transport your musical senses literally to another world. With each session you might find Brazilian rhythms crossing paths with Eastern delights or cool island drums coming face to face with the heat of Salsa.
World music and world class acts. With a true globe-trotting experience like this, you won’t need a holiday.
Tibet2Timbuk2:
A Country & Eastern offering from the EthnoSuperLounge stable, world music group Tibet2Timbuk2 takes you on a journey from the meditative to the joyous with Tenzin (Tibet), Shen (tabla), and Marcello (African guitar & further west), with special guests Peter Hunt on trumpet and renowned musician Katherine Philp on cello. Afro-Asian galloping tunes!

| Hi all, as we approach the second month of Spring we are embarking on the mammoth task of sorting through 25 years of history contained in around a hundred boxes here at BEMAC. We are anticipating relocation of the BEMAC office at the end of this year and would love some help sorting through what to keep. We are holding working bee on the weekend of the 29th and 30th October. If you would like to come down and give a hand, please email admin@bemac.org.au to let us know. Next year we celebrate our 25th anniversary and are beginning the process of preparing some big celebrations. In that context, we would love to hear from you if you have worked, performed or attended any BEMAC initiatives over the last 25 years and you have an interesting anecdote, photos or anything else you would like to share with us. Again, email admin@bemac.org.au and we can work out the best way of sharing that material.Now onto the exciting stuff… This month we have some really great shows on offer, including our regular planet series at Brisbane Powerhouse on Saturday 1st, this month it’s everything Indonesia, and I am sure traditional Balinese musician Made Denis in a rare collaboration with renowned world musician Efiq Zulfiqar from West Java will excite and enchant the Powerhouse audience. Our regular Planet series at the Brisbane Powerhouse is also being expanded to include a series of ticketed shows in the Visy Theatre. This month, we have an exciting Yolngu group from North East Arnhem Land. One of the most exciting Indigenous band to come out of this area for a long time, get down and support their performance on the 30th October. Tickets are $25 each, or $20 for BEMAC members.Finally, last but definitely not least, the BEMAC events team have been working very long hours to put the finishing touch on the programming for Queensland Multicultural Festival 2011, and I must say, we are very pleased with the end result. On the 16th October in the Roma Street Parklands, you will have an opportunity to experience performances representing over 65 cultures, with a range of traditional and also some more contemporary acts across 6 venues from 11am – 7pm. Don’t miss interstate performers, Frank Yamma and The Barons of Tang, but also a fantastic array of local Queensland acts. I only wish I didn’t have to work on the day and could spend it checking out all the amazing talent this great state has to offer! |

September 2011 Newsletter

Brisbane Multicultural Arts Centre Newsletter For Sept 2011
| From the Desk |
|---|
| Where has the year gone??? I can hardly believe we are sending out the September e-news already! I have just returned from a freezing week in New Zealand, and even the Ekka winds feel warm by comparison. As we slip quickly into the final quarter of the year, I have been reflecting on all that has developed in “BEMAC-land” over the past eight months: great Planet series, new Board of Management, three successful festivals delivered, and range of workshops for women in the music industry lot’s of internal structural changes and a heap of grants written, and a new strategic plan developed; and I feel like that’s only half of what we want to achieve between now and the end of December! The next four months will be extremely busy on all fronts, from a performance perspective; we have Manju Mehta touring from India this week, followed by Planet, Columbian-style the week after. The team are busy finalising the program on behalf of the Queensland Multicultural Festival and then we have three more Planet’s, an intimate ceremonial performance at the Gold Coast Arts Centre, the Anishinnabek Northern Lights, Canadian Indian performers tour and our own signature event World By Night, all interspersed with some song-writing and grant-writing workshops. We also have two very exciting projects starting this month: Her Hands; which will work with women from a range of diverse backgrounds to develop skills around their existing traditional hand-craft and textile-based work. This project will result in an exhibition at the end of the year. The other project we to be delivered in partnership with Gold Coast Magic is She Says… which will work with a group of refugee and migrant women to develop writing skills, I am very exciting to see the stories that will develop out of this process. I look forward to seeing you at some of that! Over the next three months, we are also working closely with the University of Queensland to undertake a research project around the arts and multiculturalism, which we hope will assist us to better meet the needs of both sectors. In light of the new Multicultural Policy and Action Plan, Queensland has an opportunity to lead in this area, and we have been contacted from our colleagues interstate who are very interested in developments in this space in Queensland. I would encourage you to provide some input into the National Cultural Policy to see a nation-wide reflection. In August 2011, the federal Minister for Regional Development and the Arts, Simon Crean, released the National Cultural Policy discussion paper for public comment. The paper sets out the direction the Australian Government is heading in developing a ten-year vision and goals for the policy, which “will reflect the important role that arts and creativity play in the daily lives of all Australians, and will help to integrate arts and cultural policy within our broader social and economic goals”. You are encouraged to read the discussion paper and submit your ideas to the Australian Government about what you would like the National Cultural Policy to look like. Visit www.culture.arts.gov.au to either fill out a quick 5-minute survey or download a form to write a more detailed submission. Comments are due by 21 October 2011. |

| From the Desk |

| July was a pretty big month for the Multicultural sector and the State Government in general, with The Premier and Minister for Multicultural Affairs launching their new Multicultural Policy and three year action plan. It is a huge step forward and very encouraging move in light of recent international debate around multiculturalism.
We of course have a great line-up for you this month, with a particular highlight being Planet. We approached Chinese Ehru player Nicholas Ng to host the August Planet, and wow, what a line-up of friends he will be bringing along. The event includes Brisbane favourites, Kim Cunio, Tunji Beier, Jordan Stamos and more… Definitely a concert not to be missed; see you at Brisbane Powerhouse from 5pm! Don’t you just love Brisbane weather? I have been catching the ferry to work the past few weeks, and thoroughly enjoying the beauty of the river and also our lovely Queensland sun! This month, we have Josh Bennet and Jay Dabgar visiting from Adelaide, with touring Indian sitar player, Manju Mehta – I am hoping the weather stays as nice as it has been so they can enjoy their visit as much as we will enjoy hosting them. Described as the ‘First Lady of Sitar’, Manju will deliver an amazing performance at two different shows; one at Brisbane Powerhouse, and the other at Coolangatta.

Well it is e-news time and starting this month, I would like to make a special mention and give a big thank you to some of the amazing staff and volunteers we have in the office on a weekly basis, keeping the BEMAC wheels turning. As a very small organization we rely heavily of volunteers to assist us to deliver all the things we do day-in and day-out. First cab off the rank is Gladys! We all joke the place falls apart if she is not around, but there is more than an ounce of truth in that statement. If you have booked the venue, paid your membership or wanted to be paid for a performance, chances are Gladys took care of it, along with all the other jobs around the office that really keep us sailing along! Gladys is the one who will be still there with me at 9 o’clock at night, finishing off those ‘can’t wait until tomorrow’ jobs. I would like to say a huge thank you to Gladys for her dedication and hard work, sense of humor and motherly love she shares so freely!
This past month we have been so very busy in BEMAC, with preparations for Planet and Zillmere Festival – One Place, Many Cultures on this Saturday, our AGM on the 20th and Fete de La Musique on the 21st! Whilst the events will be amazing, and I hope to see you there; I would also encourage you to come along to our Annual General Meeting to be held at Yungaba from 6pm on the 20th. This is a very important milestone for the organization, with a majority of Management Committee members finishing their 3 year terms. It is a great opportunity to hear about the organizations achievements in 2009 and the plans for 2010 and beyond. If you are not yet a member, you can apply via the website www.bemac.org.au. It will also be a great opportunity to pay tribute to those Committee Members who have seen BEMAC through some of its most trying times over the past few years. Until next month, Jo |

We're working towards our new date, Sunday 19th June which is a crisp time of the year but more importantly a seasonally dry time. Stay in touch with us for up to date info on our facebook page @ Home Festival. The inaugural Home Festival at Raymond Park, Kangaroo Point, will be the community’s 'home' for a day. Locals are being invited to take ownership of the festival, which has been instigated by a group of people with a passion for community, music and local culture. Home Festival is an opportunity to celebrate our common ground, a springboard to connections, fun, confidence, humour and a stronger belief that we live in a healthy, positive community.
