Glyn Dewis guides you through the most valuable lessons and techniques he has learned 'in the field' to take portraits that not only capture the person in front of the camera but also stimulate an emotion

Discussion | Fleeing to Cuba from the Nazis (online)
Dr. Julius G. Mendel was born on August 17, 1931 to a Jewish family in Germany. His father, Dr. Herbert Mendel, served in the German military during WWI and later became a doctor. Herbert ran a successful medical practice, where Julius’ mother Ilse worked as a laboratory technician. In October 1938, Herbert was forced to close the practice and the family fled to Cuba a month later. The Mendels spent two years in Cuba and immigrated to the United States in 1940. Julius went on to become a psychiatrist and has donated over twenty objects to the Museum related to his family’s experiences in WWI and their escape from the Nazis. This is a conversation between Dr. Mendel and Museum Curatorial Research Assistant Rebecca Frank. They will discuss Mendel’s story through the objects he has donated to the Museum.

Dancing | Flamenco Rumba Night Dance Party
Dance Party, hosted and produced by Talia Castro-Pozo, includes superb bands and expert dance instruction for extraordinary dancing experiences. Learn the steps from 6pm - 7pm and then test out your new moves to live music from 7pm to 8:30pm. Hailed as "magnificent" and "utterly compelling" by The New York Times, Nelida Tirado has been recognized around the globe for her intense grace and powerful style. Tirado embodies the passion of Flamenco and Latin dance, alighting stages around the world with her depth and virtuosity. Flamenco defined her artistic purpose and professional calling, but Latin dance had always been part of her Puerto Rican roots, family, and cultural traditions. It wasn't until she started simultaneously teaching at a local Boys and Girls Club in New York and became enamored with a Latin dance class being held next door. She'd never seen this dance at such a technical level. She'd drop in on occasion for the last few minutes of class and was immediately noticed for her natural ability. She was then invited at the early age of 16 years old to perform at the Apollo Theater in tribute to Miriam Makeba with Latin legend Tito Puente. Tirado's accomplishments include notable performances in the highly acclaimed Broadway production of Riverdance. As a solo flamenco dancer, she has performed and toured in World Music Institute's Gypsy Caravan I; Franco Zeferelli's Carmen with the Metropolitan Opera, and more. While always remaining connected to her Latin roots throughout her dance career, Nelida performed in an exclusive show for President Bush at the Ford Theater in Washington D.C. and has performed with numerous latin icons such as Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Tito Nieves, Tony Vega, Jose Alberto, and many more. Tirado has been featured in The New York Times for numerous performances, The New Yorker, The Star-Ledger, and selected as one of Dance Magazine's "25 To Watch." Tirado can be most recently seen in Warner Brother's film adaptation of Lin Manuel Miranda's In the Heights.

Staged Reading | Against the Order: An Adaptation of Antigone
An adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone by Gursimrat Kaur. After Ameena's brother mysteriously dies in a federal prison, she is determined to unveil the truth and bring him to justice even if it means rebelling against the establishment lead by the newly elected mayor, Karim. What is she fighting for? How far can she go? Reimagined with a South Asian cast, this adaptation of Sophocles' classic focuses on the relationship between divine and state law; asking the question of how one lives in a world that is unfair and unforgiving.

Book Discussion | Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor (online)
Author Kim Kelly tells a definitive history of the labor movement and the people who risked everything to win fair wages, better working conditions, disability protections, and an eight-hour workday. That history is a 1972 clothing company strike that saw 4,000 Chicana laborers start a boycott that swept the nation. It is Ida Mae Stull's 1934 demand for the right to work in an Ohio coal mine alongside the men, and the enslaved Black women before her who weren't given a choice. It's Dorothy Lee Bolden's 1960s rise from domestic workers' union founder to White House anti-segregationist.

Lecture | Dehumanist Nesting: Architectutral Ghosts (online)
How can built environments reveal subjugated stories of the past? How are we affected by the historical traces and ghosts that linger in our dwelling places? How are race, gender, class, and disability embedded in architecture? How might we ultimately understand ourselves as artifacts of space and place as we make and tell histories otherwise? This meditation moves across various architectural sites to weave minoritized histories across time and space, using the figure of the nest as a dwelling place that resists the colonial force of history. Speaker Julietta Singh is the author of three books: The Breaks (Coffee House Press, 2021), No Archive Will Restore You (Punctum Books, 2018), and Unthinking Mastery: Dehumanism & Decolonial Entanglements (Duke UP, 2018). She is associate professor of English and Gender Studies at the University of Richmond, where she teaches courses in decolonial studies, queer studies, and the ecological humanities.

Book Discussion | Violets: A Novel of South Korea (online)
Calling in live from Seoul, Korea, celebrated author Kyung-sook Shin and acclaimed translator Anton Hur celebrate their joint achievement in this English translation. San is twenty-two and alone when she happens upon a job at a flower shop in Seoul’s bustling city center. Haunted by childhood rejection, she stumbles through life—painfully vulnerable, stifled, and unsure. Barely registering to others as she desperately searches for both autonomy and attachment in the unforgiving reality of contemporary Korean society, she stumbles upon a curious cast of characters over the course of this haunting, atmospheric tale that explores misogyny, erasure, and repressed desire in the ruthless milieu of 1990s South Korea.
