SUMMARY:The Spies\, Spycraft\, and Intelligence Operations of Greater New York - 250th Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Spies\, espionage\, and intelligence operations during the American Revolution have long captured the public’s imagination\, thanks in part to popular books and television series. While these dramatizations highlight a captivating aspect of the Revolutionary War\, they often blur the line between fact and fiction. Join historian Charles Dewey to uncover the real stories of the men and women—soldiers and civilians alike—who risked or sacrificed their lives for the cause.

SUMMARY:New York’s Scoundrels\, Scalawags\, and Scrappers: The City in the Last Decade of the Gilded Age
DESCRIPTION:Tireless chronicler of Manhattan’s building history\, John Tauranac finds a new angle on the city’s past in his new book New York’s Scoundrels\, Scalawags\, and Scrappers: The City in the Last Decade of the Gilded Age. Beginning each chapter with a different building of the era\, he delves into the social history on site. As he recounts\, the 1890s\, the tail end of the Gilded Age\, was both a time of great inequality and\, also\, opportunity for those who did not play by the rules. These included “the managements of some businesses and some administrations of the municipality who… gamed the system to their advantage. They are New York’s scoundrels\, scalawags\, and scrappers.” As writer Tony Hiss comments\, “As these meticulously recaptured events unfold chapter by chapter\, an uncanny resemblance between then and now emerges.”

SUMMARY:Who Is An Ex-Wife?
DESCRIPTION:How much honesty does an ‘honest’ marriage really permit a wife? And once you’re no longer a wife\, can you really start all over again? The anonymous novel of divorce and open marriage that scandalized New York when it was originally published in 1929\, Ursula Parrott’s Ex-Wife is both captivating and bleak in its portrayal of women in the Jazz Age. Iva Dixit and Joumana Khatib discuss this novel of sex\, love\, heartache and divorce\, and its relevance nearly a century later.

SUMMARY:Soka Tira Osoa: High Wire Performance
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Down to Earth International Festival of Multidisciplinary Performance in Public Spaces\, Seaport Square and Pier 16 will transform into a stage for the sky. Join the Seaport Museum and The Seaport for a breathtaking\, one-night-only performance by French acrobatic troupe Compagnie Basinga and internationally renowned tightrope artist Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga. In Soka Tira Osoa—meaning “pulling the rope”—Cie Basinga invites the audience into their reimagining of the traditional tug-of-war as a powerful act of collaboration. With the help of volunteers\, the artists and audience will work together to stabilize the high wire\, forming a unique bond of trust and shared effort. Then\, all eyes will turn skyward as Tatiana-Mosio Bongonga\, one of the world’s few women high-wire walkers\, takes center stage—alone\, on a wire\, high above the ground. Accompanied by live music and the rhythmic energy of the crowd\, Tatiana’s awe-inspiring crossing will blend delicate precision with poetic grace in a performance that celebrates the importance of collective endeavor in creating togetherness and hope.

SUMMARY:Fresh Prints
DESCRIPTION:This open house will feature a breadth of printing equipment that you will be invited to use. You’ll get to see how the designers at Bowne lock up limited edition designs that showcase some of the more eccentric parts from the Seaport Museum’s printing and graphic arts collection. Established in 1775\, the original Bowne & Co.\, Inc. was one of New York’s oldest printing firms. The Bowne & Co. that you can experience today at the Seaport Museum is an offshoot of the original and continues the age-old tradition of job (or small batch) printing.

SUMMARY:Shifting Paths Screening and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Shifting Paths examines the loss and survival of one family through the period of the early Jewish Boycott in 1933 in Frankfurt\, Germany seeing the loss of a beloved family owned pharmaceutical company and the need for the family to change paths. It traces how one chamomile product\, Kamillosan\, banned in 1933\, has survived till today with few knowing anything of its history. Arthur Abelmann had a passion for finding solutions to help people feel better. He went from being a chemist apothecary in a prisoner of war camp at the end of WWI to taking over a candy factory in Frankfurt to start making medicinal tablets. His dream of creating something for his son to take over went astray with the rise of Nazism and the banning of all Jewish Products. The film traces that history and how one product is still used today – a healing ointment\, Kamillosan – that was being produced at his factory in 1932. The screening will be followed by a talkback with Director and Producer Charles Abelmann.

SUMMARY:Passwords: Mark Wunderlich on Mary Ruefle
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the closing of Erasures: Mary Ruefle\, join us for a craft talk on Ruefle’s work from the poet Mark Wunderlich. Beginning in 1998 and continuing as part of her ongoing work\, former Vermont State Poet Laureate Mary Ruefle has produced a series of altered books from which she creates poetic texts in a process called erasure\, which Ruefle has defined as an act of “creating a new text by disappearing the old text that surrounds it.” Using correction fluid\, markers\, and gouache\, and often incorporating collaged found images\, the original texts are partially covered over to reveal new and surprising voices\, phrases\, narratives\, and fragmented poems.
