Photograph by Charles H. True This Macedonian Bridal Costume from nineteenth century Yugoslav Macedonia is on display at the U of O Museum of Natural History through April 30. The opening reception for this exhibit is Sunday, April 10, 3 pm, at the Museum of Natural History, and features live Balkan folk music and refreshments. Festival of East European Peoples The local community of Eugene-Springfield has the opportunity to participate in a unique event. The University of Oregon is hosting a Festival of East European Peoples from April 10-May 1. This series of public events celebrating the cul tures of Eastern Europe, both in the Old World and in North America, is expected to draw participants from the entire West Coast. Any community is enhanced by diversity among its members. People of Eastern European cul tures comprise a portion of our local community and the foods, traditions and perspectives which they contribute add to our community's well-being. Mark Levy, Outreach Coor dinator for the Russian and East European Studies Center at the U of O, states: "Behind the cur rent headlines of political tur moil in Poland, the Balkans, and other European countries, there are rich cultural heritages which we will be presenting. Personal ly, my main purpose in sponsor ing this event is to get the local community really involved. People do not know much about East European peoples and this event is aimed at changing that. We're also excited at the possi bility of people of East European heritage learning more them selves through these events." The events will range from the award-winning Ukranian film "Shadows of Forgotten An cestors" and Yiddish films starr ing Molly Picon through folk dance workshops, a traditional Balkan-style lamb roast at Hen drick's Park, slide-lectures and panel discussions. Perhaps the centerpiece of the Festival can be considered the ongoing exhibit of Macedonian Bridal Costumes at the U of O Museum of Natural History, April 10-30. These costumes, rare from 19th-century Yugoslav Macedona, Levy says, are "fan tastic and must be seen to be believed. Additionally, people should be aware of the April 30th Concert of East European Folk Music which will be really great." It will feature traditional Bulgarian, Greek, Jewish Klez mer, Romanian, Ukranian and Yugoslav instrumental and vocal music. All events throughout the festival are free with the excep tion of the dance and singing workshops, concert, parties and lamb roast which occur April 29-May 1. The Festival is being spon sored by the local East European Folklife Center, the U of O Rus sian and East European Studies Center, the Oregon Committee for the Humanities, and others. Watch for the individual listings of events in What's Happening, April 10-May 1. For further in formation, contact Mark Levy, 686-4877 or 342-4130. Through events such as this, local resi dents can begin to appreciate the richness in diversity which we all enjoy. —Bill Blackburn Saturday Theatre The Public Eye continues at the Brass Rail at 9 pm.
