SUMMARY:The Business Core walking tour Battery Park City
DESCRIPTION:The second of the Skyscraper Museum’s three thematic walking tours of Battery Park City covers the middle zone of the commercial core with its 1980s skyscrapers of the original World Financial Center (now Brookfield Place) by architect Cesar Pelli\, as well as the expansive North Cove Marina and its public realm. This walk investigates how the planning concept of public-private partnership was both the principle and economic engine of the Battery Park City project. We will consider how the office and retail precinct connects to lower Manhattan and the World Trade Center and how the goal of opening the waterfront to public access and recreation was realized over three decades. Tour duration is around 60 minutes. This tour will meet in the Wintergarden at Brookfield Place. You must RSVP by the Eventbrite link to reserve a place for each person on the tour.

SUMMARY:Legacies: Judy Heumann
DESCRIPTION:As one of the most influential disability rights activists in U.S. history\, Judy Heumann has spent her career fighting to achieve respect\, acceptance\, and inclusion. The lawsuits she won\, sit-ins she led\, and legislation she championed all sparked a national movement that led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. Heumann is also the daughter of refugees who fled Nazism in the 1930s\, and the granddaughter of German Jews who were killed by the Nazis. Growing up in Brooklyn\, she was acutely aware of her family’s story—and she understood\, on multiple levels\, the dangers of bigotry and the importance of speaking out against it. Her story is featured in the Oscar-nominated 2020 film Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution and in her recently-released book Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist. Join Heumann for a conversation with Bill Abrams\, President of Trickle Up and former President of New York Times Television\, about her family background in the Holocaust\, her new memoir\, and her remarkable career fighting to forge a society in which we all belong.

SUMMARY:Navigating Crisis Through Film: Crows and Sparrows
DESCRIPTION:Shot during the last days of the Civil War in China’s transition to socialism\, Crows and Sparrows is one of the best crafted films of the 1940s. But its director\, Zheng Junli\, navigated some treacherous political waters to get it made. The original script was banned by the Nationalist government\, presumably because of its unflattering depiction of corruption\, inflation\, and social inequity. Then after the Communists invaded\, the filmmaker tacked on a politically acceptable ending. The film captures the frenzy of change through several households in a traditional shikumen Shanghai building. The tenants\, or “sparrows\,” share their dreams and uncertainties of the future while facing the threat of eviction by the “crows\,” the landlord couple preparing to flee Communist rule. One of the finest examples of critical realism spiced up with a dose of slapstick comedy\, Crows and Sparrows features some of China’s most celebrated stars. In person screening at China Institute today\, with a virtual lecture about the film tomorrow. A link to view each film online is also available for viewing at home.

SUMMARY:Asia
DESCRIPTION:Shira Haas made an indelible impression as the Emmy-nominated lead in the recent TV series Unorthodox. In Asia (2020\, 85 minutes\, Hebrew with English subtitles)\, Haas stars as a Russian émigré to Israel\, navigating her teenage years along with her single mother\, burdened by a largely undefined illness that makes all of her decisions infinitely more poignant. The film explores the inevitable chasm that divides the generations and creates barriers between the healthy and the sick – while telling a universal and timeless story of maternal love and loss.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Dorien Grunbaum
DESCRIPTION:Dorien Grunbaum was born in 1942 in Rotterdam\, Netherlands\, where her father was in the grain import/export business and her mother was a social worker. When Dorien was a year old\, her family was arrested and sent to Westerbork transit camp\, where they remained imprisoned for nine months. At Westerbork\, the Grunbaum family received papers from Dorien’s aunt and uncle in Mexico which granted them permission to emigrate to Palestine. These papers won the family better treatment for a short time in Bergen-Belsen\, where they were transferred from Westerbork in February 1944. After enduring horrors at Bergen-Belsen and then being liberated by the Soviet Army\, the Grunbaum family moved to the United States. Dorien was four years old.

SUMMARY:Two Stage Sisters: A Story of Old China\, Retold
DESCRIPTION:Xie Jin’s masterpiece was not shown in China until almost two decades after it was made. Banned for its depiction of old China\, the film is in many ways the summation of the cinematic style that began in Shanghai in the 1930s: brilliant use of space\, powerful camera movement\, and a story that follows the conflicting\, contradictory fates of its protagonists. Two Stage Sisters is also a perceptive meditation on Chinese opera itself\, chronicling changes in style and their relation to shifting notions of the role of art. Synopsis: In 1935\, a runaway bride hides out with a traveling Xiaoxing opera troupe; after allowing her to stay\, the company trains her and soon she is taking on the dan roles while her “sister” takes on the sheng male roles. Soon the two move on to Shanghai\, where they become hailed as the “queens” of the opera world. But as they learn\, such success comes with a price\, and each sister must decide how to manage her art and her life—as China navigates through WWII\, then the Civil War\, and finally the victory of the Communist Party.

SUMMARY:The Buddhist Art to the East: A Monumental Spread
DESCRIPTION:Online lecture. Buddhist art emerged from India\, spread eastwards to Central Asia\, Xinjiang\, the Hexi Corridor\, and eventually arrived at the heartland of China. This monumental movement ran along the Silk Road over the course of a thousand years\, integrating the Hellenistic culture with the Indian\, Persian\, Nomadic\, and Chinese. The Renwen Society presents a lecture on August 7 on this epic movement by Dr. Mao Ming\, a specialist in the Buddhist art. Adopting an archaeological approach\, and based on her own fieldwork experience\, Dr. Ming Mao will share with the audience the five major developments in the Buddhist art following its eastward spread: the Gandhara Art in India\, the Termez sites in Central Asia\, the Kizil caves in Xinjiang\, the Dunhuang Grottos\, and the Yungang & Longmen caves. In explaining these developments\, Dr. Mao will also examine five major different artistic depictions and representations of the Buddha.
