Projeto:  “The white House” (A Casa Branca)

Em 2007, Lena enviou varias obras ao Brasil, para participar da “I Internacional Bienal de Sorocaba/SP”; entre as obras estava “Black is Beautiful”.
Em 2009,  quando a Obra  retornou para os Estados Unidos, houve a necessidade de restaura-la. Foram 2 meses atualizando a historia dos “African Americans” nos Estados Unidos. O Presidente Obama havia mudado para  A Casa Branca, e a obra ganhou mais composicoes.   Quando a obra estava completa, Lena desejou  que (um dia) o Presidente viesse a conhecer a colagem que conta a historia da luta pela liberdade e  pelos direitos civis dos “African Americans”  e a vitoria de suas conquistas, representadas  tambem na imagem do primeiro Presidente “African American” dos Estados Unidos – Mr.Barack Obama.

Em 2014, Lena registrou o “Studio Lena Medeiros”  Iniciando o trabalho de Fotografar as obras e imprimi-las em Canvas – Giclees.  Quando ficaram definidos os Giclees de  “Black is Beautiful”, o projeto de envio de um Giclee da obra  para A Casa Branca iniciou.

Em fevereiro de 2015, comecaram os contatos  com a Casa Branca, havia o interesse na obra e seguiram-se todos os procedimentos de envio do presente.

Em marco 2015 o Studio Lena Medeiros recebe o telefonema  da  Casa Branca , atraves do Avaliador Oficial  dos presentes enviados ao Presidente dos Estados Unidos (1a Familia),  Mr. Ford,  agradecendo o envio da bela obra e solicitando um email com todos os dados do quadro para a apreciacao da Casa Branca, do Presidente e 1a.

Jun 4 Hi, everyone -- I'm the President's Chief Science Advisor. And from time to time, I like to send quick, ad-hoc notes to White House staff on a variety of topics -- upcoming lunar eclipses, groundbreaking climate news, incredible photos from space. Things I've come across and found fascinating. Apparently, people really like them. So when a colleague recently suggested I start sending these notes a little more widely, I figured I'd give it a try. Here's what I passed along internally Monday morning: Today's morning report from NASA contains a Hubble photo I thought worth sharing. The astonishing density of stars -- most of which, we now know, have planets -- really does make one wonder whether there's anybody else out there. And this is just one piece of our own galaxy. There are an estimated 100 billion other galaxies in the observable universe. Enjoy! Is there a particular scientific topic you're interested in, or a question you have? Let me know here. Even if I don't know the answer, we've got a lot of smart people over here who might. My best, John Dr. John P. Holdren Director, Office of Science and Technology Policy The White House @whitehouseostp Hubble Peers into the Most Crowded Place in the Milky Way This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image presents the Arches Cluster, the densest known star cluster in the Milky Way. It is located about 25,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer), close to the heart of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It is, like its neighbor the Quintuplet Cluster, a fairly young astronomical object at between two and four million years old. The Arches cluster is so dense that in a region with a radius equal to the distance between the sun and its nearest star there would be over 100,000 stars! At least 150 stars within the cluster are among the brightest ever discovered in the Milky Way. These stars are so bright and massive that they will burn their fuel within a short time (on a cosmological scale that means just a few million years). Then they will die in spectacular supernova explosions. Due to the short lifetime of the stars in the cluster the gas between the stars contains an unusually high amount of heavier elements, which were produced by earlier generations of stars. P.S. -- The President liked this photo so much, he tweeted about it!  THE WHITE HOUSE  The President is going to Camden, New Jersey today. Here's why: Camden has faced one of the highest violent crime rates in America. But recently, they've taken concrete, innovative steps to change that: creating more economic opportunity, improving trust between residents and their police department, making police officers' jobs safer, and reducing crime in the process. Today, the President will highlight some of those efforts, and show how other cities can make progress on building safer, stronger communities. Tune in at 3:10 p.m. Eastern to watch the President's remarks -- and tell us other steps you think we can take to expand opportunity for more Americans. As a country, we're at our best when everyone has the opportunity to get ahead. That's why the President is focused on restoring economic security to more American families, strengthening our neighborhoods, and making sure our young people have the chance to reach their full potential. And over the next few weeks, members of the President’s Cabinet will be traveling across America to spotlight other cities that are working to make their communities better. From Secretary Arne Duncan's upcoming trip to Philadelphia, to Attorney General Loretta Lynch's travel to Cincinnati as part of her national Community Policing tour, Cabinet members are highlighting regions where local leaders are improving the quality of life in their communities -- on issues from health care to education to transparency in policing. Our Administration is deeply engaged with these communities and others across the country -- communities that are showing what can be achieved when people from all walks of life come together to expand opportunity for all Americans. Watch what the President has to say this afternoon, and share your ideas with us on how we can continue expanding opportunity.
