Opening Reception | Illustrative Play Exhibition: Immersive Stortelling Art


This reception celebrates the exhibition Act 1: Geraldine Scott III by Lillian Ansell. The work in this exhibition comprises the first act in an illustrated play, building the world and inviting the audience into its landscape of edible clouds, powerful trees, open fields, castles, and sinking swamps fit for a fairytale. Pointed loafers, puffy sleeves, glowing red eyes, tents, and long-limbed birds and insects begin to populate the world, constructing a social narrative. Starting with Overture to the Great Hatch, animated birds lay red spotted eggs. The story continues in a series of drawings where, protected by insects, the eggs hold a prophecy that becomes the object of desire for an evil king. The play explores good, evil, and the betwixt and between.

Talk | Experts Discuss International Relations 10 Years after the Charlie Hebdo Shooting (In Person AND Online!)


At a time when the West is grappling with Islamism and the Middle East is undergoing a major transformation, two prominent Middle East experts, Prof. Bernard Haykel of Princeton and Dr. Hugo Micheron from Sciences Po Paris will share their expertise on important geopolitical issues and security questions. Ten years ago, the terrorists who killed twelve members of the satirical newspaper Charle Hebdo and four customers at a kosher supermarket declared their allegiance to Al-Qaeda. The attackers were part of a global jihadist movement consisting of a network of extremist organizations advocating violent attacks against the West and Jews. How has this movement evolved since 2015? What is its relationship to more mainstream Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood? Has the strategy of Islamists shifted towards infiltrating Western countries through religious schools, mosques, activist imams, growing participation in elective positions and effective internet propaganda?
