The World Trade Organization in Geneva is one some thirty other organizations, such as NATO or UNICEF, created after World War II to help prevent such devastating world conflict from ever happening again.<br>

Beirut, Marrakesh, Port-au-Prince, Geneva... What do these cities have in common? Le français!
The majority of French speakers live outside of the European continent, and French remains the most commonly learned language in the world after English. The 275 million or so French speakers scattered across the continents bring an enormous cultural diversity to the world.
Our French World Festival / Festival de la Francophonie brings a taste of these cultures to Chicago and offers a new insight on la langue de Molière, de Beckett and de Senghor. Celebrate le monde with us in March through food, literature, music, film, and more!

<strong>ELLBOGEN</strong><br>
Hazal is almost eighteen and lives with her parents and her younger brother in Wedding in Berlin. While she works at her uncle's bakery, she applies – unsuccessfully – for more than 50 training positions. Her aunt Semra is the only family member who attended university. Hazal's father drives a taxi and is still a foreigner after having lived many years in Berlin. The marriage of her parents is without love, they keep their daughter on a short leash while her brother enjoys much more freedom. It comes as no surprise that Hazal is seething.<br>
<br>

<strong>PAST AND PRESENT LIES</strong><br>
Beba's dream is to become a pianist but she makes her living as a prostitute. She fled her home after the war to flee from poverty. She is saving her money to buy a piano and starts to perform at a Jazz club. Isa, who is a student, has a dream too. She wants to change the world and joins a group of leftist activists. As she is more and more radicalized, she and her comrades support the refuge movement. Senator Otten's utopia has given way to the realities of political life. Under pressure he gives orders to do away with a refugee camp and fails to anticipate how costly this decision will be.<br>
<br>
Ursula Fricker, born in Schaffhausen/Switzerland in 1965, lives near Berlin. She holds a degree in Social Work and has worked in a home for mentally handicapped and as a theatre educator. In addition to journalistic articles she has published four novels. Her debut novel, Fliehende Wasser, was published in 2004 and was honored with two renowned Swiss awards. It was followed by Das letzte Bild(2009) and Außer sich (2012), which was nominated for the book award of Switzerland in the same year, as well as Lügen von gestern und heute (Past and Present Lies) which was honored with the Brandenburgischen Kunstförderpreis 2017.<br>

<strong>PHANTOME</strong><br>
In 1992, Anisa flees from Sarajewo to Vienna. During the beginning of the ethnic cleansing, she leaves her father behind – she will never see him again. She could not bid farewell to her boyfriend Jovan, a Bosnian Serb, who has been drafted. Decades later, her daughter Sara travels to Bosnia-Herzegovina following the traces of her mother. Together with her tagger-friend is submerges herself into a region filled with contradictions where each day is celebrated like the previous one – where the impact of the war are noticeable everywhere.<br>

<br>
This program is possible thanks to the support of the Swiss Benevolent Society and the Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C.
Gary Shteyngart was born in Leningrad in 1972 and came to the United States seven years later. He is the author of the novels Super Sad True Love Story,which was selected as one of the best books of the year by more than forty news journals and magazines around the world; Absurdistan, which was chosen as one of the ten best books of the year by The New York Times Book Review and Time magazine; and The Russian Debutante's Handbook, winner of the Stephen Crane Award for First Fiction and the National Jewish Book Award for Fiction. The novelist and satirist came out as a "watch idiot savant" with the publication of "Confessions of a Watch Geek" in the New Yorker last spring. Gary owns four Swiss watches - two Rolexes, a Patek, and a Tudor - and loves them all.<br>
<br>
Rejoignez-nous pour une soirée célébrant l'art suisse le plus magique et le plus renommé, celui de l'horlogerie.

Né en 1972 à Leningrad, Gary Shteyngart quitte en 1979 l'URSS pour les Etats-Unis où il réside depuis. Ses écrits oscillent entre fiction et réalité biographique en portant un regard satirique sur le monde, en particulier celui dans lequel il grandit en tant que juif américain d'origine russe. Son oeuvre littéraire a été récompensée de plusieurs prix: Absurdistan (2006) en particulier figure parmis les 10 livres de l'année selon le New York Times et le Time magazine, et est nommé livre de l'année par le Washington Post et le Chicago Tribune. En 2010, son auteur fait partie, selon le New York Times,des 20 jeunes écrivains les plus influents.<br>

AS FLUXUS ARTISTS EXPLORED participatory strategies that disrupted conventions of art and everyday life, the artist's book emerged as a way to anthologize action-based art, and as a site of experimentation with cognitive, visual, and tactile experience. Drawing on the remarkable collection in the University of Chicago Library, this exhibition considers how artists in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland reconfigured the materials and form of the book.<br>

<h1>The Triumph of Fame featuring Marie-Caroline Hominal [Switzerland]</h1>
<h1>FEB 23-25 2017 @ 5-10PM</h1>
<strong>1463 W CHICAGO AVENUE CHICAGO IL 60642</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>One on one performances scheduled every twenty minutes.</strong><br>
<br>
Hominal strips down the codes of theatrical artifice in a phantasmagorical and intimate one-on-one encounter with an audience member every 20 minutes. The Triumph of Fame is one of six poems by Petrarch which uses the idea of Triumph allegorically. In the poems, Fame triumphs over Death but is then defeated by Time and Eternity. The Williams Record Staff writer, Rob Hefferon wrote: "Hominal's performance showed a dominant control and manipulation of Love, Chastity and Death, only to be ended by a 15-minute time limit and an eternity of being emblazoned in the viewer's mind."<br>
