CIDADE DEDEUS / CITY OF GOD (Fernando Meirelles, 2002)Welcome to the world's mostnotorious slum: Rio deJaneiro's 'City of God.' Aplace where combat photog-raphers fear to tread, wherepolice rarely go, and resi-dents are lucky if they live tothe age of 20. This is the truestory of a young man whogrew up on these streets andwhose ambition as photogra-pher is our window in andultimately may be his onlyway out.
DOMÉSTICAS,O FILME / MAIDS (1)(Fernando Meirelles andNando Olival, 2001) InBrazil, there are no less thanthree million housemaids,each with her own, yet uni-versal story of loneliness,ambitions and loss but alsoof mutual solidarity and love.BAMcinematek. Feb 26.www.bam.org

From Emperors To Hoi Polloi:Portraits Of An Era, 1851-1945. (1)Portraits not only cap-ture an individual's personality,they also mirror the era in whichthey are created. The dynamicnature of modern society in theperiod 1851 to 1945, a time char-acterized by unprecedentedpolitical, economic, and techno-logical developments, produceda stunning variety of portrayalsof the human experience. Thisperiod, often identified as the"machine age," most obviouslyrevealed itself through objects ofmass production. But there is ahuman face to this pivotal timethat we see expressed throughportraiture—from oil paintingsand bronze sculptures to propa-ganda posters and commemora-tive plates. Until June 24.

Matisse Picasso is the first exhi-bition dedicated to the lifelongdialogue between two of the mostimportant artists of the twentiethcentury. Struck by each other'sgenius since they met in 1906,each recognized the other to behis only true rival and measure ofhis success. Matisse Picasso tellsthe compelling story of twoartists who, by looking at andlearning from one another fornearly half a century, were drivento ever higher levels of accom-plishment, and despite their per-sonal differences, were closer inspirit than any other two artists ofthat time.

The U.S. Census Bureautoday released new estimates of thenation’s population in July 2001,showing that the Latino populationgrew 4.7% since Census 2000 to 37million. These data confirm previous-projections that the nation’s Hispaniccommunity, which more than doubledbetween 1990 and 2000, wouldbecome the nation’s largest ethnicminority group.
“These data have significant
implications not only for our com-munity, but also for our country,”noted NCLR President RaulYzaguirre. A larger proportion ofLatinos (35.0%) are under the ageof 18 compared with the nationalaverage (25.7%) and almost halfof Hispanics are under 25 yearsold. “The influence of the Latinocommunity will continue to growas ou r children grow. Hispanicsare increasingly becomingAmerica’s students, workers, tax-payers, and voters. We need tomake investments in the Latino com-munity now, to ensure that we reap thepayoffs that will benefit all Americansin the future,” Yzaguirre advised.
In this context, these data areuseful for planning purposes, to helpcities and states make important deci-sions that respond to the needs of theLatino population in schools, theworkforce, and public policy. “Oursis an American Agenda,” Yzaguirreadded. “We want what all Americanswant: good schools and quality educa-tion for our children, a strong econo-
my and jobs that keep our families outof poverty. And Latinos want qualityhealth care and safe neighborhoods.”
These numbers rep-resent an opportunity to address theissues facing the Latino population intruly meaningful ways, and theincrease in attention to this communi-ty allows Latinos to be in the forefrontof making the American Dream acces-sible to all Americans.
As the nation’s demographic
make-up continues to change, therewill, undoubtedly, be challenges – inthe ways that the country responds tothis growth, addresses issues that mat-ter to Latinos, and considers thenotion of race and ethnicity.
Yzaguirre observed, “Thehistory of our country is a story ofpopulation shifts that have only madeus stronger. This latest chapter in thatstory, sparked by the growth of theLatino community, continues theAmerican tradition of strengththrough diversity.”
