davis_squareTufts University is having an event tomorrow that's open to the public called AfricaFest. There will be an event on African music, justice systems in Sierra Leone, and Rwanda, as well as a dinner.

For the complete schedule,
2 p.m.: Music Faculty Research Colloquium. Takes place in Granoff Room 271.
Tufts Music Professors David Locke, Rich Jankowsky, and Rabbi Jeffrey Summit present their research on "Collaborative Research with African Traditional Musicians", “The Power of ‘African’ Musical Aesthetics in Tunisia,” and "Coffee, Music and Fair Trade in Eastern Uganda", respectively. Free lunch to be served as part of the colloquium.
2–4 p.m.: Kinshasa Symphony Film Screening. Takes places in Granoff 155.
The documentary Kinshasa Symphony shows how people living in one of the most chaotic cities in the world have managed to forge one of the most complex systems of human cooperation ever invented: a symphony orchestra. It is a film about the Congo, about the people of Kinshasa, and about music. For more information about the film, visit www.kinshasa-symphony.com
4:30–5:30 p.m.: Tufts Collaborative on Africa Symposium, “Rebuilding Rwanda and Sierra Leone: The Interaction Between Local and International Models of Justice”. Granoff 155
After emerging from internal conflicts, Rwanda and Sierra Leone have employed a variety of international and local mechanisms in their efforts to bring perpetrators of violence to justice. In both cases, however, international norms and local ideas of justice did not always overlap. Boston University's Timothy Longman and Tufts' Rosalind Shaw will share their perspectives on the experiences of Rwanda and Sierra Leone, respectively, in trying to find appropriate ways to come to terms with and move on from their recent pasts.
5:30–6:30 p.m.: African Dinner. Takes place in the Fisher Performance Room.
