SUMMARY:Alchemy\, AI and Snow’s Two Cultures in Historical Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Farzad Mahootian will explore the imaginal space between four themes: alchemy\, Jung\, the history of science\, and AI. He will consider chemists and historians of chemistry. Chemists have benefited greatly by integrating computational tools to exponentially expand chemical space. By contrast\, historians of chemistry and alchemy have been somewhat less enthusiastic about applying computational methods to their domain. Prof. Mahootian’s research focuses on interactions between philosophy\, science and society within the mythological imagination. His interests include process philosophy\, coupled systems\, artificial intelligence\, and premodern sciences.

SUMMARY:Israel and the Holocaust – A Close Reading and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Professional development program centered around the legacy of the Holocaust in the creation of the State of Israel. The first part is an hour-long virtual lecture given by NYU Professor Avinoam Patt\, building on key themes that are explored in his book Israel and the Holocaust. In this in-depth lecture\, Professor Patt will focus on how Holocaust memory has shaped Israel’s identity\, politics\, and culture from the pre-state period to today. Shortly following the talk\, participants will receive a free physical copy of Professor Patt’s new book\, Israel and the Holocaust. Participants will have until April 29th to finish the book\, at which time they will come to the Museum and attend an hour-long tour led by museum staff of highlighted artifacts related to the themes explored throughout the book\, followed by an hour-long discussion facilitated by Professor Patt. Participants will be able to ask questions and occupy a space for discussion and sharing experiences with teaching the Holocaust in relation to the creation of Israel.

SUMMARY:Field Guide to Falling Ill
DESCRIPTION:From the inaugural winner of the Yale Nonfiction Book Prize\, a riveting exploration of illness and medicine that imagines a more humane form of care. “What was wrong with them? That’s what we wanted to know.” So begins Jonathan Gleason’s prizewinning collection of essays on the human lives behind the corporate\, legal\, and cultural practices that shape disease. Drawing on his experiences as a medical interpreter and patient\, Gleason illuminates a stunning range of topics\, including the racial dimensions of organ donation\, the past and present of the AIDS crisis\, and the troubled relationship between state violence and mental illness. With sharp analysis and boundless empathy\, Gleason shows how medicine is shaped by cultural narratives\, historical contexts\, and the complicated people who practice it.

SUMMARY:Scatman John
DESCRIPTION:John Larkin – a fast-living\, hard-playing\, stuttering jazz pianist – overcame abuse\, addiction\, ageism\, and obscurity to stage one of the most improbable debuts in pop music history by turning his greatest pain into his purpose. Based on rare archives and interviews with those who knew him best\, this authorized biography is a redemptive\, deeply human story of struggle\, heartbreak\, and triumph. For anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider\, this book inspires with a powerful message: your deepest fear can become your greatest strength\, and your pain can become your purpose.

SUMMARY:Films at the Museum: “Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire” Screening and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald\, we seek to understand the man behind Elie Wiesel’s searing and widely read memoir Night. Told largely through his own words and eloquent voice\, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to penetrate to the heart of the known and unknown Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) – his passions\, his conflicts and his legacy as one of the most public survivors of the trauma of the Holocaust. With unique access to personal archives\, original interviews and employing hand painted animation\, the film illuminates Wiesel’s biography as a survivor\, writer\, teacher\, and public figure.

SUMMARY:Frog: And Other Essays
DESCRIPTION:A new collection of evocative personal essays from one of America’s most beloved nonfiction writers\, Anne Fadiman. In Frog\, Anne Fadiman returns to her favorite genre\, the essay\, of which she is one of our most celebrated practitioners. Ranging in subject matter from her deceased frog\, to archaic printer technology\, to the fraught relationship between Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his son Hartley\, these essays unlock a whole world—one overflowing with mundanity and oddity—through sly observation and brilliant wit.

SUMMARY:“I Am André” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Diana Mara Henry’s I Am André is an amazing real-life story of espionage\, of courage and resistance\, and of friendship and love. It pulls back the veil on the hidden history of the struggle for the identity of the Resistance in France. The life of ‘André’ Joseph Scheinmann is more intriguing and compelling than any work of fiction.

SUMMARY:Cloaked Crusader: Lecture and Wine Tasting - Liberty 250® Program
DESCRIPTION:Come in and warm up from the cold with a Colonial style mulled wine as we discuss and celebrate the sequential art (comic book) of George Washington. Join author Renee Witterstaetter* as she presents on her book\, Cloaked Crusader: George Washington in Comics and Pop Culture\, looking at the visage of Washington in everything from tavern signs to comic books to movies\, over the past 250 years. This lively presentation will be preceded by a wine tasting with offerings from Brotherhood Winery out of Washingtonville\, New York\, fittingly enough. To round out the evening\, we will also have caricature artist Edward Murr on hand to make you an art creation yourself.

SUMMARY:Road to Nowhere: How a Highway Map Wrecked Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, Road to Nowhere: How a Highway Map Wrecked Baltimore\, historian Emily Lieb describes the Baltimore suburb of Rosemont\, which in the 1950s was a vibrant Black middle-class neighborhood of rowhouses and small businesses. By the end of the decade\, Rosemont was effectively destroyed by plans for an expressway that was planned\, but never completed. Lieb’s detailed research and analysis clarifies the practices of blockbusting\, redlining\, and prejudicial lending\, and highlights these patterns at work in a single neighborhood. Her absorbing story of the interwoven tragedies caused by urban renewal and transportation policy and their lasting effects on racial inequalities in housing\, education\, jobs\, and health clearly describes both a local history and a national problem.
