Frederic Durand, an historian who has focused on East Timor (Timor-Leste)
for many years, has put together an bilingual (Portuguese and English)
exhibit on Timorese history that has not been shown yet in the U.S.
titled "Timor-Leste: A New State with Century-Old Roots in World
History." He is flying over from Paris to introduce the exhibit,
which will be on display at The Brooklyn Commons for a week following his
talk on Saturday night. Charles Scheiner and Jill Sternberg are long-time
East Timor and Indonesia Action Network (ETAN) activists; they
recently returned to U.S. after years of living and working in
Timor-Leste. They will speak about current issues and challenges a dozen
years after independence.
