What separates us inside our own society? What social marker allows one person to look at another as “them” rather than “us” and create everlasting schisms? How can we break through and fit in? These questions are explored from historical and regional perspectives Friday night under the title The Separation Myth: Deconstructing the Myths that Separate Us. The event features three short films from Ashland-based filmmaker and artist Nisha Burton, followed by a panel discussion. Burton, a University of Oregon graduate in digital arts and film, will show “Whose Utopia? Exclusion in Oregon,” “Finding Home at the Mims House” (a bow to the historical heart of African Americans in Eugene and the people the house helps today) and “The Walls We Create: Ashland Sister City Mural Project.” The filmmaker interviews African Americans, Asian Americans and Native Americans throughout the Northwest to understand how inherent ideologies, and their laws, have forged the lives of minorities in the Northwest. The interviews are conversational and relaxed. Burton adds expert storytelling, beautiful cinematography and a touch or humor. The goal is to break down the walls that keep us separated. “This is not a story for one ‘niche’ group,” she writes on The Separation Myth website, but “rather a story for us all.” The films and panel discussion is 7 to 9 pm Friday, Feb. 22, and hosted by The Center for Spiritual Living, located at 390 Vernal Street in Eugene. The suggested donation is $10, but no one is turned away. — Dan Buckwalter Veselo Folk Dancers, 7:15pm, In Shape Athletic Club, 2681 Willamette St. $3.
