Sweeten your bitter schedule and salt away some time for a taste of Latin

American culture.

The spring semester offers a cultural sampling of Latin America sponsored

by the International House. Each month presents activities, films and

lectures associated with a particular region of Latin America.

January features northern South America, while February features southern

South America. Central America is the topic for March, and April’s topic is

Brazil.

Political history, current events and the way of life in Latin America are

some of the topics featured in the films and lectures presented throughout

the semester.

The scheduled events expose students to different cultures through

informative and entertaining programs.

Guitarist David Burgess will perform Latin American music Jan. 21 in the UT

Music Hall. Maria Elena, a Venezuelan artist who resides in New York, is

scheduled to present a slide lecture in early February.

A theater troupe from Mexico, Compania de Teatro–Angeles Sanchez, will

perform at the Carousel Theatre on March 30. April offers an opportunity to

learn about spiritist healing in Brazil followed by a Latin dance party

towards the end of the month.

Additional festivities include food tasting once a month for a minimal

charge. The fine cuisines from South America provide the chance to discover

a true taste of Latin American culture.

“Whether you are hungry for a taste of Brazilian food or Latin American

knowledge, the International House events are a great way to satisfy you,”

said sophomore Katie Steinhoff.

“The International House is a neat place to visit and meet people in

addition to learning about other cultures,” said Steinhoff.

The events are open to all students and are free of charge unless otherwise

indicated.
