SUMMARY:Metamorphosis: Chinese Imagination and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Opening day of a new exhibition that highlights works by 28 contemporary artists of Chinese descent\, who explore themes of personal\, cultural\, historical and material metamorphosis in dynamic and innovative ways. Across painting\, sculpture\, photography\, animation and installation art\, these works by established and emerging artists of different generations and backgrounds use experimentation to draw on both Eastern and Western art-making practices and materials. Many of the works will be seen in the U.S. for the first time. Important commissions include new paintings by Sun Xun and an immersive Dream Chamber by Bingyi. The exhibition is organized very loosely around four themes: “Metamorphosis of the Body and Self”\, “Metamorphosis of the Environment and Natural World”\, “Historical and Cultural Metamorphosis”\, and “Spiritual Metamorphosis”.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: “I Seek A Kind Person” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:I Seek A Kind Person is a gripping family memoir of grief\, courage\, and hope that tells the hidden stories of children who escaped the Holocaust\, building connections across generations and continents. In 1938\, Jewish families are scrambling to flee Vienna. Desperate\, they take out advertisements offering their children into the safe keeping of readers of a British newspaper\, the Manchester Guardian. The right words in the right order could mean the difference between life and death. 83 years later\, Guardian journalist Julian Borger comes across the ad that saved his father\, Robert\, from the Nazis. Robert had kept this a secret\, like almost everything else about his traumatic Viennese childhood\, until he took his own life. Drawn to the shadows of his family’s past and starting with nothing but a page of newspaper ads\, Borger traces the remarkable stories of his father\, the other advertised children\, and their families\, each thrown into the maelstrom of a world at war. From a Viennese radio shop to the Shanghai ghetto\, internment camps and family homes across Britain\, the deep forests and concentration camps of Nazi Germany\, smugglers saving Jewish lives in Holland\, an improbable French Resistance cell\, and a redemptive story of survival in New York\, Borger unearths the astonishing journeys of the children at the hands of fate\, their stories of trauma and the kindness of strangers.

SUMMARY:Walls of the Mind with Anand Pandian
DESCRIPTION:Americans have profoundly different ideas about what is real\, ideas that sometimes verge on the irreconcilable. These notions depend on walls of the mind: stubborn boundaries that work to enforce particular points of view\, as if each of us was stranded on some other island of idiosyncratic thought. Such divides may seem fleeting and intangible\, but they are just as hard as any wall made of brick or concrete. Drawing on lessons from a recently published book—Something Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life\, and How to Take Them Down—this talk will explore barriers that run through the experience of collective life in the United States\, and what it takes instead to open our minds to the lives of others.
