SUMMARY:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try
DESCRIPTION:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the 20th-century artist and Holocaust survivor Boris Lurie. Centered around his earliest work\, the so-called War Series\, as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from Lurie’s personal archive\, the exhibition presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma\, haunting memories\, and an elusive\, lifelong quest for freedom. In drawing together artistic practice and historical chronicle\, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is fertile new territory for the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, offering a survivor’s searing visual testimony within a significant art historical context. The Museum is open Wednesday\, Thursday\, and Sunday from 11 AM – 7 PM ET through October 17. The Museum is closed on Jewish holidays and on Thanksgiving. As of October 18\, the Museum will be open Sunday and Wednesday: 10 AM to 5 PM; Thursday\, 10 AM to 8 PM; and Friday\, 10 AM to 3 PM.

SUMMARY:Transforming Moments: A Conversation With Diane Von Furstenberg
DESCRIPTION:Before she was an international fashion icon and a member of the TIME 100\, Diane von Furstenberg was a young girl growing up with parents who had just survived the Holocaust. Her father\, originally from Moldova\, escaped the Nazis in Switzerland. Her mother\, originally from Greece\, fought the Nazis as a member of the resistance until she was captured and sent to Auschwitz. Join the Museum for a conversation with von Furstenberg about her identity as the daughter of survivors and how it has informed her remarkable career at the helm of one of the world’s most recognizable brands. She will be in conversation with Dr. Eva Fogelman\, renowned psychologist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:Planning With Personality!
DESCRIPTION:Young city planners will learn how architects consider the personality of a neighborhood – what designers call the “sense of place.” In small groups we’ll discuss and design a street plan detailing where parks\, places to eat\, shop\, play\, and work areas belong\, as well as what features their ideal city would have. Then young planners will build their own skyscrapers to place in their model city. Ages 6+. RSVP required. This indoor program meets at the Skyscraper Museum\, 39 Battery Pl. Masks are required for indoor programs. For those who prefer the Zoom option for this in-person program\, please email programs@skyscraper.org with the date of your event and we will send you the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Translating China: Stories of the Pathbreakers
DESCRIPTION:China boasts of a 5000-year civilization\, but for much of the past few millenniums\, the country had been shrouded in mystery due in large part to its lack of communication with the rest of the world. The scarcity of translations of Chinese books\, classic or otherwise\, was a contributing factor to the impasse as well. Mysteries and misunderstandings about China and its culture with its values\, customs and institutions began to be unveiled and corrected in modern times thanks to the masterful translation of Chinese novels and other classics by a group of Westerners who were steeped in the Chinese language and culture. In a recent book on noteworthy Western translators of Chinese literature\, the author Prof. Zhu Zhenwu of Shanghai Normal University\, a renowned translator himself\, provided insights into 20 or so master translators in modern times from the U.S.\, the UK\, Australia and Canada who translated over 300 Chinese literary works\, both classic and modern and brought a side of China rarely known to the English-speaking World.
