Discovering the Culture of Tajikistan

Using a power point presentation, Janice Setser will share her experiences of living for nearly 18 years in foreign countries including years of service as a Peace Corps volunteer. During her decade of discovering Tajikistan, now a Central Asian Republic, she developed a nuanced and intimate understanding of the lives and culture of the people that is linked to and dependent upon an ancient landscape. Her deep passion and fresh insights enabled her to discover a side of Tajik culture that is not well known. How people gracefully co-exist with a struggle for the bare necessities of life in an emerging, contemporary society and maintain their traditional values of warmth and generosity will be depicted. This visual, audio and tactile journey will uncover the magical realm of Tajikistan.
