SUMMARY:Wu Ying and the Palace Museum He Helped Found
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1420\, the Forbidden City in Beijing had served as the center of Chinese royal power for five centuries. Following the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911\, the imperial complex had been turned into the Palace Museum in 1925.

SUMMARY:Turkey at a Crossroads: The 2023 Earthquake\, Election\, and Centennial
DESCRIPTION:On February 6\, 2023\, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck northern Syria and southern Turkey\, killing over 49\,000 and displacing millions. The government’s response exposed pitfalls in Turkey’s political system and the state of the country in the lead-up to the May 2023 election. As Turkey is gearing up to celebrate the centennial of the modern Republic\, Museum Director Clifford Chanin is joined by Soli Özel\, Professor of International Relations at Kadir Has University\, for a discussion about the rapidly unfolding events in Turkey. Özel reflects on how the events of 9/11 and the Arab Spring affected Turkey’s standing in the Middle East and relations with the West and what the future might hold for Turkey’s evolving political and national identity.

SUMMARY:Saving a National Treasure - the Story of Odell House Rochambeau Headquarters
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 1781\, after spying on the British troops in Manhattan for six weeks\, General Washington and General Rochambeau made a critical decision. They would not attack the British in New York but instead would take their troops across the Hudson River and march to Yorktown\, Virginia to confront General Cornwallis’ army in the South. That decision changed the war and it happened at Odell House Rochambeau Headquarters. In the spring of 2020\, The Town of Greenburgh\, NY\, at the urging and leadership of Susan Seal took possession of Odell House to save it from collapse. Amazingly\, this house\, listed on the National Register\, retains most of its original details and it is now in the process of restoration. By 2026\, in time for the 250th commemoration of the Declaration of Independence\, it will be open to the public as a museum. In person and via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Dr. Kaboom & The Wheel of Science
DESCRIPTION:So much science\, so little time. . . Doktor Kaboom is having trouble picking his favorite science demonstrations\, so he’s bringing them all! Unfortunately\, there are way too many to do them all in one show. The solution: The Wheel of Science! Doktor Kaboom has built a great big spinning wheel and labeled it with everything from optical illusions to chemical reactions to a homemade hovercraft\, and more! At least a dozen fantastic demonstrations ready to go. Wherever the wheel stops\, that’s what’s next! Will we turn a water bottle into a rocket or catapult bananas across the stage? Electrocute a pickle or create artificial gravity? Who knows? No two shows will be the same. So\, step right up\, and let’s spin that wheel.  Ages 8+. Various times. See website.

SUMMARY:The Peking Express –The Bandits Who Stole a Train\, Stunned the West\, and Broke the Republic of China
DESCRIPTION:In May 1923\, when Shanghai publisher and Chicago Tribune reporter John Benjamin Powell bought a first-class ticket for the Peking Express\, he pictured an idyllic overnight journey on a brand-new train of unprecedented luxury—exactly what the advertisements promised. Seeing his fellow passengers\, including the mysterious Italian lawyer Giuseppe Musso (a confidante of Mussolini and lawyer for the opium trade); American heiress Lucy Aldrich\, sister-in-law of John D. Rockefeller\, Jr.; and other prominent travelers\, he was certain it would be the trip of a lifetime. He was right\, but for reasons he could not have guessed. The Peking Express\, brilliantly recreated with new and original research\, tells the unforgettable true story of a clash that shocked the world—becoming so celebrated that it inspired several Hollywood movies—and set the course for China’s two-decade civil war.

SUMMARY:Spring Theater with The Braid: Remembrance of Things Present
DESCRIPTION:In person and livestreamed. The story of the Holocaust continues far past liberation. Those born in the generations that followed especially feel the deep and resounding imprint in all aspects of their lives. In these surprisingly inspiring and heart-opening stories\, we learn how the daughter of a French resistance fighter must choose between a life of activism and her own survival. We see how the son and grandson of Tuvia Bielsky\, leader of the partisans\, contend with the legacy of a hero. We’ll see the unexpected fear one grandson feels as he visits his family’s home in Germany\, 65 years after his family fled the Nazis. As one daughter wonders if the price of encouraging her father to give testimony is greater than the benefit. Victims of the Holocaust are mourned\, and those who survived have imprinted the next generations in innumerable ways.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Lu Wei on Chinese Cinema: Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:Screenwriter Lu Wei\, often referred to as “China’s top screenwriter\,” is the mastermind behind the initial drafts and storylines of some of the most iconic films in Chinese cinema\, including “Farewell My Concubine\,” “To Live\,” “Qin Song\,” “Shuangqi Zhen Daoke\,” and “Red Cherry.” Despite his instrumental contributions to these films\, Lu Wei has remained relatively unknown to the general public. However\, with the recent publication of his memoir\, “The Secrets of Film Screenwriting\,” Lu Wei sheds light on his creative process and the behind-the-scenes work that went into the making of some of China’s most beloved films. In this memoir\, Lu Wei specifically delves into the adaptation process of “Farewell My Concubine” and “To Live\,” offering a unique insight into the creative process of two of the most significant films in Chinese cinema. The Renwen Society will present an interview on April 22 with Mr. Lu by Mr. Woody Mu to talk about his views\, aspirations\, and wishes regarding Chinese cinema\, and discuss the current issues of Chinese cinema.

SUMMARY:“Maus Now”: Spiegelman’s Graphic Novel and the Present Tense
DESCRIPTION:Art Spiegelman’s Maus remains as poignantly relevant today as it was when it was first published serially beginning in 1980\, and then in two book volumes in 1986 and 1991. Among many other reasons for Maus’ present cultural impact\, Hillary Chute argues that Spiegelman’s comics narrative reveals the capacity of the medium as a form to register the persistence of history and to function as a mode of resistance to today’s rising fascism. Chute’s talk is in part drawn from her 2022 edited collection from Pantheon\, Maus Now: Selected Writing.
