SUMMARY:Pieces of China: Melinda Liu on the Imperial Kilns
DESCRIPTION:The Daolingjian Imperial Tile kilns outside of Beijing once produced the green and yellow tiles that adorn the rooftops of the Forbidden City\, the Ming Tombs and other ancient sites. Demand remains strong\, especially when imperial-era temples are renovated. But due to anti-pollution restrictions\, the wood-burning kilns are silent; today production takes place in far-off Inner Mongolia. The stresses\, strains\, and commercial opportunities of the modern world have changed the face of this village—and all of rural China. Join us as foreign correspondent Melinda Liu\, a 30-year Beijing resident\, shares stories of the kilns and the village where she spends many weekends.

SUMMARY:Remembering the 9/11 Boatlift: America's Largest Water Evacuation
DESCRIPTION:Following the September 11 attacks in New York City\, people were unable to leave Lower Manhattan due to the closure of bridges and tunnels throughout the city. Within minutes of the first plane hitting the first tower\, multiple fireboats from the New York City Fire Department rushed the scene\, and the US Coast Guard coordinated a convoy of hundreds of merchant ships\, tugboats\, ferries and other vessels to evacuate stranded and injured victims. This extraordinary rescue was memorialized in the 2011 short documentary film Boatlift documenting the mass evacuation of more than 500\,000 civilians in just nine hours—the largest maritime evacuation conducted in the history of the United States\, moving more people from the island than even the 1940 evacuation of Allied troops from France. At this virtual event\, see the short documentary film Boatlift: An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience narrated by Tom Hanks\, followed by a panel discussion on the largest water evacuation in maritime history. Panelists are National Maritime Historical Society trustee emeritus RADM Richard Larrabee\, USCG (Ret.)\, USCG Safety and Security Division Chief for Sector New York John Hillin\, president of the New Jersey Sandy Hook Pilots Association Capt. Andrew McGovern\, founder of the fireboat John J. Harvey Huntley Gill\, and USCG-licensed marine engineer and author of Saved at the Seawall: Stories from the September 11 Boat Lift Jessica DuLong.

SUMMARY:“Into The Forest” Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:From a little-known chapter of Holocaust history\, Rebecca Frankel’s Into the Forest: A Holocaust Story of Survival\, Triumph\, and Love (which will be published on September 7\, 2021) is one family’s inspiring true story of love\, escape\, and survival. In the summer of 1942\, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods―through brutal winters\, Typhus outbreaks\, and merciless Nazi raids―until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. During the first ghetto massacre\, Miriam Rabinowitz rescued a young boy named Philip by pretending he was her son. Nearly a decade later\, a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn would lead Philip to find the woman who saved him. And to discover her daughter Ruth was the love of his life. Join the Museum for a program celebrating the launch of Into the Forest with Frankel and David Rothkopf\, host of the Deep State Radio podcast and CEO of The Rothkopf Group. Their conversation will be held live in the Museum’s Edmond J. Safra Hall.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Dr. Rene David Alkalay
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Rene David Alkalay was born in March 1941 in Zagreb\, the capital of the former Yugoslavia (now Croatia). When Dr. Alkalay was just a few weeks old\, Croatia became a puppet state of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy\, and his father and paternal relatives were imprisoned in a concentration camp run by the country’s new Ustaša regime. Later that year\, Dr. Alkalay\, his mother\, and his maternal relatives were imprisoned in other Ustaša-run concentration camps\, where they remained for two years. After the camp was liberated\, Dr. Alkalay hid in the forest with partisan groups for a year and then was airlifted out of Yugoslavia to a Displaced Persons camp in Italy. He spent four years after the war at a Catholic school in Rome\, unaware of his true religious identity. In 1950\, Dr. Alkalay and his family emigrated to the United States\, where he later became a psychotherapist\, nutritionist\, and pastoral counselor. Join the Museum for a program exploring Dr. Alkalay’s story of survival in Croatia.

SUMMARY:In Search of China’s Soul: Why Confucius Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:China Institute welcomes Confucianism expert Zu-yan Chen\, who will introduce Confucius\, China’s greatest sage\, and the philosophy that has shaped Chinese governance\, values\, and ideas for thousands of years. Following the lecture\, contemporary China expert Zak Dychtwald will join Professor Chen in a conversation about Confucius’ legacy and his relevance in today’s hyper-modern China. Scholar\, philosopher\, and political sage\, Confucius is synonymous with Chinese morality and culture. But how much do most of us actually know about his thinking? How did Confucianism become the underpinning of the Chinese system of education and bureaucracy\, and how do we separate the facts from the myths surrounding his ideas? Most importantly\, why are we still talking about him after more than 2500 years? In short\, why does Confucius still matter today?

SUMMARY:Renewal At NYC Culture Club: 30 Works That Document The 20-Year Story Of Rebuilding Downtown
DESCRIPTION:RENEWAL\, a solo exhibition by New York painter Todd Stone (b. 1951)\, opens for public exhibition at the NYC Culture Club in the World Trade Center’s Oculus from September 1 through September 30\, 2021. The exhibit features over 30 works in oil\, watercolor\, and digital media that document the 20-year story of the rebuilding of downtown\, and the 12 years of Stone’s tenure as an artist in residence at the World Trade Center. The opening\, aligned with the 20th anniversary of September 11\, offers the public a moment to remember those who we lost\, while highlighting the transformation\, renewal\, and rebuilding of the World Trade Center site. \nStone’s body of work stands apart in reflecting the transformation of the Ground Zero site: produced in the span from 2001 to 2021. The show presents a journey from devastation to recovery to renewal. It is a visual diary that opens with paintings that document that tragic day\, the work tracks the two decades journey and ongoing reconstruction of the World Trade Center and the building of the 9/11 Memorial\, the Oculus\, and the WTC office towers. In watercolor and oil\, Stone paints a resilient city working through trauma and rebuilding to emerge as a renewed modern metropolis. Stone\, who has worked for 12 years from various studio spaces throughout the new World Trade Center\, presents sweeping cityscapes with 360 degree panoramic views of Manhattan\, Brooklyn\, New Jersey\, and New York harbor in addition to portraits of streetscape construction and renewal-in-action. \nThe public exhibit at the NYC Culture Club offers visitors the unique opportunity to pay tribute to – and reflect on – the rebuilding of downtown at the site itself. Visitors can both honor the past and clearly see New York’s present\, and perhaps glimpse into its future. In the spirit of renewal and looking forward\, this show also debuts Todd’s foray into digital media. Digital animations of Stone’s work will be displayed on LED screens in the Oculus throughout September\, as well as in video prints that have been developed in collaboration with creative agency Bodega Bunnies.

SUMMARY:Take a Time Machine in BPC: From Landfill to Waterfront Community
DESCRIPTION:If the Skyscraper Museum gallery was a time machine and we traveled back 50 years\, we’d be standing on sand! The neighborhood that is now Battery Park City was created as new land in the Hudson River\, beginning with some excavations from the foundations for the original World Trade Center. In this program\, we’ll time travel back forty years to see how artists turned landfill in Battery Park City into art projects\, then imagine and draw our own projects for outdoor land art or public sculptures using photography. All ages welcome.
