OBISK VELEPOSLANIKA DR. MILANA BALA�ICA V SLOVENSKIH KLUBIH
JANUAR 2012

Veleposlanik dr. Milan Bala�ic je januarja 2012 obiskal slovenska dru�tva, versko-kulturna sredi�ča in ostale institucije slovenske skupnosti v Avstraliji: Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong in Canberra. Zaradi oddaljenosti sta ostali neobiskani le slovenski dru�tvi v Perthu in Aucklandu na Novi Zelandiji. Novonastali klub v Aucklandu bo obiskal v mesecu februarju, nekaj dni po predaji poverilnih pisem Generalnemu guvernerju Nove Zelandije v Wellingtonu.

Glavna tema pogovorov je bila prihodnost slovenske skupnosti v Avstraliji in �ir�i pretres pogojev, da slovenstvo na tem oddaljenem kontinentu pre�ivi. Starej�i generaciji avstralskih Slovencev se je veleposlanik dr. Bala�ic zahvalil za to, da so v zadnje pol stoletja v včasih te�kih pogojih avstralskega 'talilnega lonca' ohranili slovenstvo, narodno identiteto, kulturo in jezik. Ob tem je izrazi �eljo RS in veleposlani�tva v Canberri, da tvorno prispeva k razpravi o konkretnih korakih k ohranjanju slovenstva, obenem pa se anga�ira pri pomladitvi dru�tvenega �ivljenja in animaciji mlaj�e generacije slovenskih Avstralcev. Gre za to, da je potrebno v novih pogojih demokratične multikulturne avstralske dru�be iznajti novo avstralsko slovenstvo, ki se bo sposobno soočati z izzivi 21. stoletja in ohranjati stik s svojimi slovenskimi koreninami.

V razpravah, ki so bile povečini zelo konstruktivne, so predvsem dru�tva oblikovala predloge za spremembe v delovanju, ki bi omogočile o�ivitev dru�tvenega �ivljenja in pomladitev članstva.

Ključni poudarki predlogov, da bi la�e začeli proces oblikovanja novega avstralskega slovenstva, so naslednji:

1. Izdelati način nagovora mladih (predvsem tretje generacije) in mladih dru�in, da se udele�ujejo dejavnosti dru�tev; enako velja za izdelavo specifičnega nagovora 'novih Slovencev'.
2. Dru�tva velja odpreti lokalni skupnosti, v kateri delujejo, in medse sprejeti tudi avstralske prijatelje slovenske kulture.
3. Začeti postopek pomladitve vodstev slovenskih dru�tev.
4. Povečati stopnjo poslovnosti dru�tev, ki bodo potem lahko tudi več ponudila svojim članom (npr. taborjenje mladih).
5. Kjer se ka�e večji interes, znova oblikovati �ole slovenskega jezika, kulture, kuharsko �olo ipd.
6. Dru�tva naj oblikujejo svoje spletne strani, na katerih bodo člane in �ir�o javnost privlačno obve�čali in poročali o svoji dejavnosti; k temu spada tudi oblikovanje mladinskega spletnega sredi�ča.
7. Izdelati je potrebno ustrezno strategijo promocije slovenstva v Avstraliji: njen ključni element je odslej obvezni dvojezični pristop.
8. Republika Slovenija (Urad za Slovence po svetu, veleposlani�tvo v Canberri) mora poskrbeti za kulturno ponudbo, ki jo potrebujejo dru�tva: gre predvsem za slovenske filme, video-nosilce glasbe, turistične filme o Sloveniji itd., vse podnaslovljeno v angle�čini.
9. V delovanju dru�tev in v odnosih med slovenskimi dru�tvi mora prevladati strpna enotnost, utemeljena na vrednotah slovenske samostojnosti.
10. Razprava o slovenstvu v Avstraliji se bo nadaljevala z okroglimi mizami, forumi in zbori, kjer velja na posebej organizirane pogovore povabiti mlaj�o generacijo Slovencev-Avstralcev, da se jim omogoči avtonomno izra�anje interesov. Po vsej verjetnosti bodo pokazali največ zanimanja za slovensko glasbo, ples, film in literaturo, kar vse lahko le okrepi kulturno �ivljenje.

From: janez.medvesek@gmail.com

En lep sončen pozdrav. Pravzaprav je res v vsaki nesreči nekaj dobrega. Če �e ni snega je pa vsaj lepo vreme.
Lahko bi se pacali v tisti moreči brezupni megli.
In sem premi�ljeval, najprej, če ima sploh smisel delati slikanico iz pe� potepa, ki je dolg dva krat po pol ure?
Ima. Koliko vas je takih, ki vam zaradi starosti ali bolezni ali majhnih otrok �e pol ure hoje dela probleme.
Tu boste res v dvajsetih minutah z zadnjega parkiri�ča, na "balkonu" nad vso dolino. Lep dan vam �elim in privo�čim.
Tu po teh koncih vam ne bo dolgčas, pa vseeno, kam jo �e mahnete.
In �e to. Vem, da vsi ne preberete ta dolgih besedil, ker potem vidim, da me točno to vpra�ate, kar pi�e v besedilu za na pot.
Danes pa le preberite zadnjo stran. Morda se najdete v njej. Lahko tudi kot somi�ljeniki...
Srečno, potepini, narava nas ima �e rada. Vzemimo si, kar nam ponuja. To je �e zastonj...

Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak: Absolutely Fabulous 5
Curated by Jovana Stokic
Opening: Reception for the Artist on Thursday, Dec. 15th, 6 to 9 pm

Gallery MC is proud to present Absolutely Fabulous 5, the first New York solo exhibition by Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak, curated by Jovana Stokic, curator of Location One�s Abramovic Studio. The exhibition will present a survey of Oblak and Novak�s works from the past five years.

Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak have been working as an artist�s cooperative since 2003. In their art practice they make a critical examination of contemporary media and capital driven society as they dissect its visual and linguistic structure. Infused with humor their works draw parallels between the commercial and the art worlds. Oblak and Novak operate in the border zones between reality and fiction, and adopt the visual tactics and seductive constructions commonly employed in the mass media to lure the consumer. They often appear as protagonists of their works and they act out different roles. Their practice spans from video, photography, new media and installation.

Oblak and Novak have exhibited worldwide, in venues like the Sharjah Biennial (UAE); Japan Media Arts Festival, Tokyo (JP); Istanbul Biennial (TR); Biennale Cuvee, Linz (AT); Transmediale, Berlin (DE); Alexandria Biennale for Mediterranean Countries (EG)�

The exhibition is kindly supported by the Ministry of Culture, Republic of Slovenia, Alkatraz Gallery,

�IVIMO TUKAJ, V MISLIH SMO DOMA � SLOVENCI V AVSTRALIJI
Slovenci so Avstralijo kot mo�no izbiro za naselitev odkrili konec devetnajstega stoletja, ko so v slu�bi avstrijske mornarice pripluli tudi na ta konec sveta. Tja so začeli odhajati po prvi svetovni vojni, v dvajsetih letih predvsem s Primorske, bolj mno�ično pa so se na petem kontinentu naseljevali po letu 1945. Danes �ivi v Avstraliji med 25.000 in 30.000 Slovencev.

16. januarja pred dvajsetimi leti je Avstralija priznala Republiko Slovenijo in prav na ta dan bomo v NUK odprli prilo�nostno razstavo o Slovencih, ki bivajo na celini pod Ju�nim kri�em. Hkrati �elimo opozoriti na �tevilno gradivo, ki so ga ustvarili avstralski Slovenci v desetletjih bivanja v tujini in je sedaj po zaslugi gospoda Florjana Auserja dostopno tudi na portalu www.dlib.si.

Avstralija ni le de�ela kengurujev in skrivnostne gore Uluru. To je tudi de�ela slovenskih pesnikov in pesnic ter pionirjev slovenskega rodu, ki so zgodnja leta svoje naselitve v Avstraliji delali na projektu Sne�nih gora, enem največjih in�enirskih čudes na svetu. Vabljeni na ogled v avlo pred Veliko čitalnico NUK med 16. januarjem in 6. februarjem!

From: Slovenian Times Flight Around Globe Begins
Sports, 09 Jan 2012 / By STA
Slovenian adventurer Matev� Lenarčič took off from the Ljubljana airport in direction Morocco morning to begin his second solo flight around the world in an ultralight airplane without a copilot or additional air support.

Lenarčič, who had to postpone the start of the feat several times since 3 January because of different problems, is flying a Virus SW 914, a 290-kilo plane built by Slovenian company Pipistrel.

He will fly westwards, flying over the Equator six times as well as crossing the Antarctic, Mt Everest, 120 national parks and three oceans.

The adventure is expected to last between two to three months, while the total distance covered is estimated at 100,000 kilometres. The cost of the project is estimated at EUR 2m.

The flight is environmentally-oriented, with the SW 914 boasting the lowest fuel consumption on record in its category. Lenarčič will be able to fly up to 300 km/h, and cover a distance of 4,000 kilometres with 350 litres of fuel.

Lenarčič, who is a also photographer, will be taking photos of the earth, but also conducting different kinds of research. He will for instance be the first to conduct black carbon measurements in the atmosphere.

The Slovenian adventurer was the first person to circle the globe in an ultralight airplane without a copilot or additional air support in 2004....
