Cary Memorial Library Presents 'Myanmar (Burma) --Spiritual People in an Oppressed Land'

The recent release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has sparked new interest in the  beautiful, but little known  land of Myanmar. Based on the lecturer's travels, this photographic presentation will provide some insights into daily Burmese life, centering on the culture, customs, and living conditions of its people, as well as how the very unique form of Burmese spirituality has co-existed under the military government.

Barry Pell is a world traveler and photojournalist. He has traveled widely over the past 40 years, visiting and documenting landscapes and cultures in 154 countries.  He currently lectures on international cultures at schools, universities and libraries in the Boston area.

 Space is limited.  Seating will be on a first come, first served basis.
