Women crossing borders


I have started working with Lithuanian National Radio for the show on science and knowledge. This is my first "letter" or "diary" entry, in Lithuanian, though, about the "Amazones", women master drummers from Guinea that visited Brandeis a couple of weeks ago and I was invited to their evening performance. They also participated in the symposium on women crossing borders: playing the drums forbidden for women by tradition they break the old tabu; on the other hand, some were unable to leave Conakry due to civil unrest in the country. The paradoxes of border debates - are they disappearing or reappearing?
