Ramirez is a Brooklyn-based artist\, comedian and writer who wrote\, produced and directed the comedy special program Pervert Everything for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. “Connections” celebrates the many ways rising dance and performance artists have been supported and influenced by other artists they respect as past or present teachers\, mentors or exemplars of the best in their field.

SUMMARY:Remembering Resistance: Sophie Scholl And The White Rose
DESCRIPTION:The White Rose was founded in 1942 by several students at the University of Munich\, including Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans. The members were united against Nazi policies and began writing and distributing leaflets calling on the German people to take action to stop injustice and genocide. In 1943\, Hans and Sophie Scholl were arrested by the Gestapo after they distributed leaflets to students at their university. Hans Scholl\, Sophie Scholl\, and Christoph Probst\, another member of the group\, were executed on February 22\, 1943. Since then\, the White Rose\, and Sophie Scholl specifically\, have become a symbol of resistance during WWII. Join the Museum for a program examining Sophie Scholl and the White Rose. The program will feature a conversation between Wolfgang Huber\, the son of White Rose member Kurt Huber and Professor Emeritus at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstad; Frank McDonough\, author of Sophie Scholl: The Real Story of the Woman Who Defied Hitler; and Nathan Stoltzfus\, the Dorothy and Jonathan Rintels Professor of Holocaust Studies at Florida State University. The conversation will be moderated by Lori Weintrob\, Professor of History at Wagner College and founding director of the Wagner College Holocaust Center. The program will be accompanied by a virtual screening of the Academy Award nominated film Sophie Scholl: The Final Days. Attendees will receive a private link to stream the film one week before the program.

SUMMARY:Why Confucius Matters: Was the Sage a Subversive?
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Tao Jiang\, a scholar of Chinese philosophy\, maps the life of China’s greatest sage and challenges conventional wisdom about Confucius as the ultimate architect of hierarchies and obedience. In a new book\, Origins of Moral-Political Philosophy in Early China: Contestation of Humaneness\, Justice\, and Personal Freedom (Oxford University Press 2021)\, Jiang portrays Confucius\, whose thinking has laid the foundations of Chinese moral-political culture for thousands of years\, as a man of his times and beyond\, creative\, daring\, and even subversive in his fight for a more humane and just world. And what does that say about Confucian values today?

SUMMARY:BUILT UP: An Historical Perspective on the Contemporary Principles and Practices of Real Estate Development
DESCRIPTION:The history of speculative real estate development is an essential aspect of the histories of most cities\, yet is a subject often ignored by academia. In her long awaited book Built Up\, Patrice Derrington uncovers the roots of the global real estate industry in early modern London and seminal projects of private urban development such as Covent Garden. Derrington synthesizes economic history and the latest planning and finance literature in a work that codifies the principles and activities of real estate development as a foundation for future academic research and practical innovation. Uniting insights from the author’s career as a developer with meticulous archival research\, this resource for scholars and professionals synthesizes economic history and the latest literature on planning and finance. Derrington’s book opens new avenues to codify the principles and activities of real estate development in a foundation for future academic research and practical innovation.

SUMMARY:The Travels of Marco Polo: A Legend of the East
DESCRIPTION:2022 marks the 530th anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas. Sponsored and dispatched by the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile\, Columbus led a fleet of three ships on August 3\, 1492 to sail west to search for a direct sea route to reach Asia as an alternative to the overland trade routes. On October 12 of that year\, the ships made landfall—not in Asia\, as Columbus assumed\, but on San Salvador in the Bahamas. Subsequently he made three more voyages to the New World in 1493\, 1498 and 1502\, reaching the Caribbeans\, and Central and South Americas. Although Columbus always maintained that he had reached the Far East\, he never set foot in Asia. One of the reasons that arose Columbus’s interest in traveling to the East is the famed Travels of Marco Polo\, an account of the author’s travels to China in the 13th century that held Columbus spellbound in his childhood. Columbus treasured the book so much that he brought along a copy on his first cross-Atlantic journey. Travels of Marco Polo fascinated not only Columbus\, not also a host of other famous European navigators in the Age of Exploration\, including Amerigo Vespucci\, from whose name the term “America” is derived\, Ferdinand Magellan\, who led the first recorded circumnavigation of the earth in 1519\, Vasco da Gama\, the first European to reach India by way of Cape of Good Hope\, and the 15th century cosmographer Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli\, who was the first to create a map showing a westward sea route to China and subsequently passed it to Columbus to carry on his first voyage. Marco Polo’s travelogue generated in the West an immense interest in and yearning for Asia in general and China in particular.  To learn about Marco Polo’s travels to China and the impact he made\, the Renwen Society presents a lecture on February 26 by Prof. Jia Hongyan\, an expert on tourism who will discuss Marco Polo’s storied journey to the East\, what he saw and experienced in China\, and how the legendary book was brought back to China.

SUMMARY:The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz: Thomas Geve
DESCRIPTION:In June 1943\, thirteen-year-old Thomas Geve and his mother were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Separated upon arrival\, he was left to fend for himself in the men’s camp of Auschwitz I. During 22 harsh months in Auschwitz\, Gross-Rosen\, and Buchenwald\, Thomas experienced the worst of Nazi cruelty—but he never gave up the will to live. Immediately after liberation\, Thomas created more than 80 drawings documenting life around him. Rendered in simple yet poignant detail\, the drawings reflect day-to-day life in the camps at the same time as they reveal the shared humanity between Thomas and other prisoners. Join the Museum for a program with Thomas\, now 92 years old\, telling his story of survival through his childhood drawings. He will be joined by his daughter Yifat Cohn-Meir and journalist Charlie Inglefield\, who helped Thomas publish his story in the book The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz: A Powerful True Story of Hope and Survival.

SUMMARY:New York: An Illustrated History
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-two years after the original New York: An Illustrated History – first published in 1999 as a companion volume to the acclaimed 17 ½-hour PBS series New York: A Documentary Film\, directed by Ric Burns and co-written with James Sanders – the dynamic duo is back. James Sanders will describe the project to revise and update their compendium of the city’s expansion from its colonial beginnings in 1624 up to the current moment. The new 2021 edition of New York: An Illustrated History\, written by Burns and Sanders\, moves on from the aftermath of 9/11 to the financial crisis of 2008\, the devastation of Superstorm Sandy\, the continual struggle with racial injustice\, and the still unfolding cataclysm of the COVID-19 pandemic. It presents a lively portrait of the city’s vibrant street life and culture: the physical transformation of the city’s streets\, skyline\, and waterfront\, the birth of hip-hop in the South Bronx\, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Gates in Central Park\, the musicals of Broadway\, the explosion in location filmmaking in every borough\, the pivotal rise of the tech industry\, in an epic story of urban rebirth and growth.
