		<description><![CDATA[Using a combination of live theatre production and cinema, Sage Lewis's work brings U.S. and Cuban artists and musicians together in the same space virtually when actual collaborations are difficult or impossible. The result is conversation-starting work that "breaks ground artistically, politically and technologically." <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artsdiplomacy.com&#038;blog=28165519&#038;post=1335&#038;subd=artsdiplomacy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We here at Arts Diplomacy Network sometimes feel like we’re standing at a border with one foot in the world of public diplomats—who rarely consider arts and culture truly relevant to their work—and the other in the land of arts practitioners and managers, who care deeply about civic engagement but don’t often have a firm grasp on how their work figures into efforts to improve international relations. But the two professions share some fundamental concerns. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artsdiplomacy.com&#038;blog=28165519&#038;post=1272&#038;subd=artsdiplomacy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It wasn't just music that resulted; they would never look at each other the same way again. In this post, Mary Einbinder tells the fascinating story behind the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=artsdiplomacy.com&#038;blog=28165519&#038;post=1232&#038;subd=artsdiplomacy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
