SUMMARY:The Monumental Undertaking: The Capital Plan of Nanjing
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the reunification of China\, the Nationalist government initiated a comprehensive planning proposal\, referred to as “the Capital Plan”\, to reconstruct the war-torn city of Nanjing into a modern capital. With the participation of many first-generation architects returning from Europe\, the US and Japan\, this monumental project brought a brand-new landscape to Nanjing as a modern city. The architectural masterpieces emerging from the project dotted the city in their varied forms and styles\, representing the highest standards of Chinese architecture of the time. As a result\, the city itself had become a grand museum of modern architecture\, contributing to “the beauty of Nanjing that still resonates in China”\, in the words of CNN. Dr. Wang Xiaoqian\, a renowned scholar and architect\, will relate the stories of the capital plan as well as the course and characteristics of urban construction and architectural development of Nanjing from 1912 to 1949.

SUMMARY:Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:The global economy is at a crossroads. Can finance fix it? Proponents of environmental\, social and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They claim that new financial strategies that consider all stakeholders are essential tools for addressing runaway carbon emissions and stark income inequality\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Is this approach really leading to better social and environmental outcomes for all? If not\, how can it be improved? In Sustainable\, a finance-industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects and limitations of ESG investing and provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more optimal outcomes. Terrence Keeley argues that both activist and C-suite advocates have been overly optimistic about what ESG can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot achieve inclusive\, sustainable growth on their own: regulators\, public policies\, civil society and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we need.

SUMMARY:Buried Beneath the City: An Archaeological History of New York
DESCRIPTION:Book presentation. Bits and pieces of the lives led long before the age of skyscrapers are scattered throughout New York City\, found in backyards\, construction sites\, street beds\, and parks. Indigenous tools used thousands of years ago; wine jugs from a seventeenth-century tavern; a teapot from Seneca Village\, the nineteenth-century Black settlement displaced by Central Park; raspberry seeds sown in backyard Brooklyn gardens—these everyday objects are windows into the city’s forgotten history. Buried Beneath the City uses urban archaeology to retell the history of New York\, from the deeper layers of the past to the topsoil of recent events.

SUMMARY:Selected Music and Songs from Shanghai Sonatas – a new musical
DESCRIPTION:China Institute is partnering with Shanghai Sonatas to present Selected Music and Songs from Shanghai Sonatas – a new musical about the Jewish refugee musicians from Nazi Germany who brought classical music to Shanghai and their connection to the millions of classical musicians of Chinese descent today. Based on the memoirs of Jewish refugee musicians who escaped Nazi Germany and found refuge in Shanghai in the 1930s and ’40s\, Shanghai Sonatas shares how music helped them to survive the war and how they taught classical music to the local Chinese. Today\, countless classical musicians of Chinese descent become the driving force of the field worldwide.

The Juilliard School opened its only overseas campus in China in 2019 while the Philadelphia Orchestra now tours China almost annually\, as the first western orchestra to visit China in 1973.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: The Extraordinary Life of Yaffa Eliach with Smadar Rosensweig
DESCRIPTION:Yaffa Eliach (née Sonenson) was born on May 31\, 1935 in Eišiškès\, Lithuania. She was just six years old when German soldiers invaded her hometown and massacred the Jewish population. Yaffa and her family survived in hiding\, and after WWII Yaffa moved to Israel\, where she spent the rest of her childhood and met her husband\, David Eliach. The couple moved to New York City in 1954\, where Yaffa earned her Ph.D. and became a professor at Brooklyn College. Then\, in 1974\, Dr. Eliach opened the Center for Holocaust Studies\, Documentation and Research–the first organization in the United States dedicated to the study of the Holocaust. This groundbreaking project merged with the Museum on August 2\, 1990\, and thanks to the Center’s impressive community outreach\, its collection provided a robust and unique collection of materials to the Museum and the world. Join the Museum for a discussion about Yaffa Eliach’s life and work with her daughter\, Smadar Rosensweig.
