SUMMARY:First to Stand: Upstanders Fighting for Justice
DESCRIPTION:The new film First to Stand follows Irwin Cotler\, former Canadian Minister of Justice and the current Canadian Ambassador to Combat Antisemitism\, along with his team of activists at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre as they take on the cases and causes of political prisoners and human rights activists against the world’s most repressive regimes. Cotler began fighting for freedom and justice in law school with the landmark case of Russian refusnik Natan Sharansky\, and continues to fight for human rights causes today. The film will be followed by a talk with Cotler and Bill Browder\, British-American financier who created and championed the Magnitsky Sanctions\, the most effective tool to hold individual human rights abusers accountable. They will be in conversation with Rick Salomon\, a co-founder of the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center.

SUMMARY:What They Wanted Us to Know: Disinformation\, Rumors\, and Ignorance in the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Antisemitic disinformation was a hallmark of the Nazi regime\, from its early rise in 1933. Access to information can make the difference between life and death\, especially for the Jews of Europe during World War II. German occupiers attempted to – and largely succeeded at – controlling the flow of information through newspapers\, radio\, and the spread of false rumors. When witnesses and fugitives returned to ghettos and told their stories about the death camps\, few believed what they heard; Nazi propaganda fueled these doubts. This lecture will explore the methods Nazis used in their attempts to control their citizens during the Holocaust\, and how this history might shed light on our current information environment.

SUMMARY:Gibney Presents: 2nd Best Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:2nd Best Dance Company brings its signature style to the Gibney stage with the world premiere of The myth of forward motion (or\, The Box Dance). Physically rigorous\, sometimes virtuosic\, almost always slapstick\, this new work walks the line between dance performance and nonlinear play\, leaning into both text and movement to examine the sensation of being stuck – in a place\, a memory\, a thought pattern\, or a life that’s headed in one particular direction.

SUMMARY:Translation Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Book reading and conversation. Damion Searls presents his translation of A Shining by Jon Fosse\, in conversation with Merve Emre. In Fosse’s first novel since his critically acclaimed Septology\, a man starts driving without knowing where he is going. He alternates between turning right and left\, and ultimately finds himself stuck at the end of a forest road. It soon grows dark and begins to snow. But instead of searching for help\, he ventures\, foolishly\, into the dark forest. Inevitably the man gets lost\, and as he grows cold and tired\, he encounters a glowing being amid the obscurity. Strange\, haunting and dreamlike\, A Shining is the latest work of fiction by National Book Award-finalist Jon Fosse\, “the Beckett of the twenty-first century” (Le Monde).

SUMMARY:From the Big Apple to the West Lake: A New Yorker’s Encounter with China’s Hidden Gem Hangzhou
DESCRIPTION:In China\, the city of Hangzhou occupies its own special place in the country’s history and culture\, which persists to be one of the nation’s most cherished cities and among its most popular tourist destinations. As the southern terminus of the Grand Canal\, it was a capital city of imperial China for 150 years. Home to a million people at a time when London and Paris each barely reached 80\,000\, it was described by Marco Polo as “the greatest city which may be found in this world.” Stephen Koss\, a gifted storyteller and New Yorker who fell in love with Chinese culture and “disappears” to China regularly\, is bringing to us his new book By the Hills Embraced: A Social and Cultural History of Hangzhou\, China
