Jessie Friedman Executive Director, Jaipur Literature Festival @Boulder Coming soon on September 15-17 at the Boulder Public Library, the ZEE Jaipur Literature Festival is free and accessible to everyone. This year's theme is "Get High on Literature!" and invites you to join in examining the human experience through the reflections and imaginations of distinguished contemporary authors from across the glo Jessie Friedman is the person responsible for bringing this major event to Boulder. As a psychotherapist, an art historian, and a practicing Buddhist for her entire adult life, she is deeply rooted in the power of narrative and story that runs our individual worlds and therefore our societies. Traveling extensively in India for many years led her to experience the heartbreaking beauty, complexity, wisdom and chaos of one of our world’s most ancient yet continuously vital regions and locus of civilizations. In 2011, Friedman and her husband, Jules Levinson, who has a Doctorate in Religious Studies and has studied the Tibetan language since the mid-1970s, attended a conference of Tibetan language translators in Sarnath, India with 150+ lamas and translators from around the world. Soon after this impactful experience, they attended the Jaipur Literature Festival and were deeply moved by the palpable beauty, quality, depth, and joy em In 2014, her 15 page proposal, ‘Why Boulder,’ brought Sanjoy Roy, Founder and Producer of the Jaipur Literature Festival, to Colorado. Friedman, Levinson and Maruta Kalnins (the third JLF ringleader and owner of the exquisite Indian import shop Gypsy Jewel on Pearl and 8th) showed Roy around and extolled the virtures of our town, and sure enough, Boulder beat out offers from NYC, Chicago, Seattle, the Bay Area, Vermont, Arizona, Texas, New Orleans, and Aspen as the proper home for the Jaipur Literature Festival in the United States. The project of bringing the Zee Jaipur Literature Festival to Boulder expresses a lovely integration of Friedman's values and her life’s work. JLF adds to a rich tapestry of cultural treasures and artistic excellence in Boulder. It brings the world, and deep layers of diversity, beauty, thought, and conversation to us in the spirit of a great celebration of our humanity. JLF Colorado also works to give back to the community by providing free outreach programs in literacy, writing, creativity, and empowerment to underserved communities in the Metro Area. Come and celebrate humanity at Zee JLF@Boulder! You may register for free or register as a Friend of Festival and help to maintain JLF in Boulder. Art Space Directory
