A phantom thief is on the loose, and his explosive capers are
knocking out lights all over town! His target? A priceless
Russian heirloom people are dying to get their hands on. Pint-sized gumshoe Conan Edogawa is on the case, but there's more
to this mystery than meets the eye. Nothing is what it seems:
the good guys seem bad, the bad guys seem good, and not even
the boy detective knows who to trust. There's no room for error
when life and limb are on the line, and Conan's going to need
help if he wants to unmask the Last Wizard of the Century!
Based on the award-winning Detective Conan manga and
anime series, Cased Closed: The Last Wizard of the Century is
an action-packed mystery the whole family will enjoy solvingtogether.
Japanese with English subtitles.
Rated TV-PG: suitable for ages 8 and older.

/ Gukga Daepyo
Friday, August 26, 6:30 p.m.
When South Korea was bidding to host the 2002 Winter
Olympics, the challenge was great-including building a ski
jump team from scratch in order to remain credible. Take
Off, inspired by a true story, follows an unlikely team of
misfits and their coach as they strive to be taken seriously.
The team eventually competes in the 1998 Winter Olympics
in Nagano, Japan, but if they are to have even a chance at
greatness, they must first overcome their own differences
and unite as a team. Written and directed by Yong-hwa Kim,
Take Off was a huge box office success in Korea in 2009,winning over audiences with its combination of humor,
indomitable team spirit, and thrilling ski jump
cinematography. It was filmed in Pyeongchang, South
Korea, which was recently announced as the host of the
2018 Winter Olympics--the first Olympic Games to be held in
Korea since the landmark 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics.
Doors open at 6:00 pm for a light Korean reception. The screening(137 minutes) will begin at 6:30 pm. This event is part of the KoreanCultural Center's Korean Cinema Series, presenting free monthlyfilm screenings. All films are presented in Korean with Englishsubtitles.

Around the world, poor women are responsible for finding water for their families and farms. Women and girls
procuring water in conflict zones are frequently victims of violence. USAID and the Wilson Center are seeking to
deepen the understanding of the root causes of conflict and the practical connections between gender-based
vulnerability, water access, and conflict-affected areas. Join us as three experts share insights from field work and
research on water access in conflict-affected areas and ways to build peace and stability through water projects.

Containment and DiversionThomas Burkett
(September 1-October 2)
Opening Reception
Thursday, September 1, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Catering provided by Windows Catering
Long View Gallery
1234 Ninth Street NW
Washington, DC 20001
RSVP [email protected] August 30th
Long View Gallery is pleased to announce Containment and Diversion, featuring approximately 15 mixed media works on paper by
Washington-based artist Thomas Burkett. This marks the first solo show of Burketts young career. Thomas work explores topics
currently headlining news stories around the country. Wide spread water shortages in much of the south caused by the breakdown of
manmade containment and diversion equipment, exemplifies his belief in our inability to exact control over nature.
Growing up in the grandeur of the Western United States, Thomas Burkett gleaned an impression of invincibility and an air of
confidence that abundant land resources is a right of passage. Now, as an outside observer, he realizes his utopian West is both a
place of grandeur and illusion. An urban identity now confronts his notion of abundance with the reality of a water crisis and a
realization that we have settled in an environment that challenges our subversive tactics of control. Determined to examine our control
of water, the work in Containment and Diversion portrays the damming, diverting, and polluting of water - lifes most vital substance.

Speaker
Shannen Rossmiller
Hosted by John Hilboldt, Director, Lectures & Seminars
After 9/11, when the nation was still in shock over the unprecedented attack on U.S. soil, Shannen Rossmillera mother of three in rural Montana and municipal court judgewas formulating a plan. Soon she was devouring
literature on Islamic culture, teaching herself Arabic, and preparing to infiltrate the central nervous system of
global terror: online networks. Her efforts succeeded beyond imagination. Posing as an Islamic terrorist underdozens of screen aliases, she joined forces with the FBI and started trolling jihadist chat rooms, striking up
conversations at 3 a.m. with men as far away as Pakistan, and amassing evidence against an array of suspected
terrorists both at home and abroad. Her work laid the foundation for the online searches so crucial to law
enforcements fight against terror today.
Rossmillers husband, Randy, uncovered her double life aftera chat room terrorist wiped out the family
computer and reports rolled in that the Rossmillers were being targeted for reprisal. Undeterred, she started
working with the FBI on sting operations, involving everything from jihadist cells to weapons caches to bombplots, and bringing many of her targets to justice, as well as pioneering the digital entrapment tactics that are at
the forefront of todays war on terror. Her work has led to the founding a new field of espionage known ascyber-counterintelligence, and she continues to work closely with the FBI to find and prosecute terrorists.

Solomon Wondimu: SKIN: America in Black & White
(September 2-30)
-
8/4/2019 bMichael Events This Week 26 August 2011
17/30
Born and raised in Ethiopia, Solomon Wondimu has been working on Human Skin ColorProject for the past five years. Wondimu questions the distinct classifications of peopleas "Black" or "White" which describes an opposition that does not actually exist in nature.In creating his works Wondimu uses a palette of 3,000 different colors he has collectedfrom skin-color swatches representing the multi-coloredness of individuals and people.
Going beyond the physical attributes of SKIN, Wonidmu's work is also about the conflictbetween the eye and the perceiving mind over the color of human skin. The eye sees itsworld without bias; however, the mind takes that information from the eye andtranslates it into social, political and religious master signifiers in order to furtheragendas, particularly subjugation of the Other. Wondimu's work describes and exposesthis conflict as it exists in both the micro and macro levels.
Alison Sigethy: Sanctuary
(September 2-30)
Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Alison Sigethy's Sanctuary attempts to
bring the viewer closer to achieving inner peace by taking them on a journey inside the
human body. Sigethy's belief in the power of the inner self, a place where one can truly
find peace, healing and forgiveness, has been the foundation in creating this work.
In Sanctuary, the body is represented by two multi-piece sculptures,each portraying a
different internal system. Breath, six large glass panels with undulating fabric and
shadows, represents the respiratory system. Life, four bubble tubes filled with intricate
glass components, represents the cardiovascular system. Both sculptures incorporate
sound and movement as an essential part of the experience.

Speaker: Pamela Constable
From the book publisher: In Playing with Fire, acclaimed journalist Pamela Constable peels back layers ofcontradiction and confusion to reveal the true face of modern Pakistan. . . . Constable takes us on a panoramic tour
of contemporary Pakistan, exploring the fears and frustrations, dreams and beliefs, that animate the lives of
ordinary citizens . . . From the opulent, insular salons of the elite to the brick quarries where soot-covered workers
sell their kidneys to get out of debt, this is a haunting portrait of a society riven by inequality and corruption, and
increasingly divided by competing versions of Islam.
About the speaker: Pamela Constable, a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in 2010, serves as a
South Asia correspondent for the Washington Post. She has been covering South Asia since 1999, and spent four
years as the Posts bureau chief for the region, stationed in New Delhi and Kabul. Earlier, she spent nine years asthe Latin America correspondent for the Boston Globe, and served as journalist-in-residence at the Pew
International Journalism Program at Johns Hopkins Universitys School of Advanced International Studies.
Constable is the author of the 2004 bookFragments of Grace: My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia,
which reflects on her experiences covering South Asia.

"Ten Years After 9/11"is an exhibition featuring the work of thirty-nine international artists
commemorating the tenth anniversary of the event of September 11, 2001.
Co-curators Helen Frederick and William Dunlap were determined to create a venue for artists to
show work made in response to and in the wake of the cataclysmic events of 9/11. "It's not that
artists were any more or less effected by the events of 9/11 than anyone else," says WilliamDunlap. "The difference is that they respond by making concrete objects that want to be seen."
As Frederick and Dunlap explain, they curated the artists not specific artworks. In that light,
"Ten Years After 9/11"gives voice to artists from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Russia, Ireland, Germany
and the United States, each bringing their personal perspectives and unique viewpoints to the
cultural conversation. According to Frederick the exhibition explores how a rupture has been
recorded, filtered, transformed and translated into powerful works of art over the past ten
years.
"Ten Years After 9/11"opens to the public on August 23rd with a reception Thursday September8, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the Pepco Edison Place Gallery, 702 Eighth Street, NW. On September 11
at 4 p.m. Kurt Steger's Burden Boat Projectwill engage the public in a water-cleansing
ceremony in the Kogod Courtyard between the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian
American Art Museum, 750 9th Street, NW. Recording /Responding to Loss and Recovery, a
special panel discussion with participating artists moderated by Helen Frederick, takes place at

Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious ConflictFriday,September 9, 9:15 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Suite 200
RSVP:http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/events/rsvp?id=liberty-and-tolerance-in-an-age-of-religious-
conflict
Religious liberty and tolerance are among the most central global issues facing us today. Too often scholars haveapproached them solely as philosophical questions or abstract universal imperatives, obscuring their meaning and
significance within specific religious traditions. Any effort to deepen appreciation for religious liberty and
tolerance while excluding religious voices is bound to fail. In conjunction with Calvin College, the Berkley Center is
convening scholars and practitioners from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds to examine and compare
resources supportive of religious freedom and tolerance within their own traditions. The participants are among
the contributors to a forthcoming book,Abrahams Children: Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious Conflict.
The conference, made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, will conclude
with an interfaith service in commemoration of September 11, 2001.
Each of the panels will address the following questions:
1. Historically, how has your tradition been exploited by opponents of religious liberty and tolerance? Does such
exploitation persist, and why?
2. What are the major resources within your tradition supportive of religious liberty and tolerance? What do they
add to dominant secular human rights discourse?
3. How can interfaith dialogue and activism advance the liberty and tolerance agenda? What dangers and pitfalls do
you see along the way?

John Yoo, Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law, and former Deputy Assistant Attorney

Nadine Strossen, Professor of Law, New York Law School, and former President, American Civil Liberties Union
Hosted by Edwin Meese, III Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow in Public Policy and Chairman of the Center forLegal and Judicial Studies
The 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is an appropriate time for reflection, both as to
what the nation endured as a result of the attacks as well as whether the response has been appropriate. In
addition to providing their reflections on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath, distinguished legal scholars John Yoo,
Nadine Strossen, and Ed Meese will discuss their own and others contributions to Confronting Terror, a unique
collection of essays from principled supporters and critics of the law and policy of the war on terrorism.
Edited by Dean Reuter and John Yoo, Confronting Terrorsets the stage for a reasoned and robust discussion of the
future with a collection of provocative essays examining the meaning of 9/11. Other authors include former
Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Michael Mukasey, federal Circuit Judges Laurence Silberman and Raymond
Randolph, Richard Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Johnathan Turley, and Bob Barr. The contributors present stark

differences of opinion on issues such as the Presidents authority to detain, the assertion of state secrets, the limits
of surveillance, the use of unmanned drones and targeted killing, the treatment and interrogation of detainees, the
Patriot Act, and the peculiar nature of our foe. More surprising, perhaps, are the areas of agreement, particularly
the fact that the policies of two very different Presidents are remarkably the same. In presenting these contrasting
views, the editors and contributors hope to clarify the debate, both for our society and for those responsible for
waging the war.
