SUMMARY:American Rebels: How the Hancock\, Adams\, and Quincey Families Fanned the Flames of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Nina Sankovitch will present the intimate connections between leading families of the American Revolution—the Hancock\, Quincy\, and Adams families—and explore the role played by such figures as John Hancock\, John Adams and Abigail Smith (Adams)\, Josiah Quincy Junior and Dorothy Quincy (Hancock) in sparking the flames of dissent and rebellion that would lead to the Declaration of Independence in 1776. By focusing in on Braintree\, Massachusetts and these three prominent families of the village\, Sankovitch will demonstrate how the desire for independence cut across class lines\, binding people together as they pursued commonly held goals of opportunity\, liberty\, and stability.

SUMMARY:POP: Then until Now: Vicki Angel\, Eric Barsness\, & Carol Clements in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Then Until Now offers a look at a forty-year choreographic span\, with past and present juxtaposed in the bodies of three “mature” dancers. About the artists: Angel\, Barsness\, and Clements resurrect solos from the 1980s and make new dances\, too. A surprise comic trio is the finale. Vicki Angel\, Eric Barsness\, and Carol Clements share a background in the 1980s downtown Manhattan dance scene\, at the juncture of avant-garde\, postmodern dance and the theatrical experimentation of performance art. Their works were produced by leading venues of the day such as Dance Theater Workshop\, The Kitchen\, Danspace\, LaMama\, and PS122\, as well as by grittier hotspots such as 8BC and a host of downtown loft spaces. The three choreographers join forces 40 years later to present Then until Now at Gibney. There they will juxtapose old and new work\, the physicality and creativity of past alongside the present—and feature the performance of both\, in the now.

SUMMARY:Stories Survive: Jill Pauly
DESCRIPTION:Jill Pauly was born Gisella Berg on May 1\, 1933 in Cologne\, Germany to a close\, religious Jewish family. Due to the restrictions put in place by the Nazis shortly before she was born\, Jill was unable to play outside with other children\, and found herself in a life of displacement. Her childhood home was ransacked\, and her father and cousin were forced into an internment camp after attempting to escape the country. Eventually her family found refuge in Kenya\, where they worked on farms and navigated British East African policies. It wasn’t until 1947 that her family moved to the United States\, where Jill married fellow survivor Kurt Pauly in 1957. Join the Museum for a program exploring Jill’s experience during the Holocaust\, and her years in Kenya.

SUMMARY:St. Eustatius and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Fraunces Tavern Museum and Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society. In 1776\, the US vessel Andrew Doria sailed to the Dutch island of Sint Eustatius carrying a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Upon its arrival\, the island’s governor provided a formal cannon salute to the ship’s patriot flag\, marking the first acknowledgement of the United States’ sovereignty. In this presentation\, Sergio Villavicencio\, Vice President of the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society and Chair of the NYC Semiquincentennial Committee\, will delve into the early relationship between the United States and Sint Eustatius\, which critically supplied the patriots’ cause by smuggling the necessary goods to keep the American Revolution going\, and how the island’s fate years later decisively affected the end of the Revolutionary War. This lecture will take place via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Gibney Deeper Duet: Talvin Wilks + Melanie George
DESCRIPTION:Permission\, appropriation or trespassing – the tricky terrain of 2 Black Dramaturgs in the current “We See You” performance landscape told through personal case studies\, observations\, rants\, riffs and realizations. Melanie George and Talvin Wilks\, friends\, colleagues\, and confidantes\, will talk their way through the current cultural moment from their vantage points as Dramaturgs While Black (DWB). Utilizing\, purposefully\, a Black lens to view the American Theatre and Dance industries\, the conversation seeks to navigate the concept of appropriation vs. elucidation in the choices that many BIPOC dramaturgs have made and continue to have to make in this era of reckoning\, solidarity and wokeness. In it they question and challenge their own responsibility and accountability to Black artists and address some of the systemic traps and tropes in the process. Working from the inter- and intra-personal\, the artists plan to rant\, riff and tee hee through this tricky terrain of being Black in white spaces and living to tell the tale.

SUMMARY:The Holocaust\, Tikkun Olam\, And Three Generations Of Humanitarian Women
DESCRIPTION:Caryl Stern\, the renowned human rights activist\, is the third generation of women in her family whose lives were shaped by the Holocaust. Her grandmother\, Mignon Langnas\, was a nurse in Vienna when the Nazis invaded. Facing an agonizing decision\, she sent her two young children on a ship to the US\, opting to stay with her ailing parents and to take care of her patients in a Jewish children’s hospital\, navigating constant risk of deportation and death. Caryl’s mother\, Manuela Stern\, crossed the ocean at the age of six and once here\, lived in an orphanage on the lower East side of Manhattan. Manuela’s experience contributed to her becoming a passionate civic activist and educator. For these three women\, “tikkun olam” (Hebrew for\, “to heal the world”) is now part of their DNA. Join the Museum and The Olga Lengyel Institute for a fascinating conversation between Caryl and Manuela about the impact of the Holocaust on three generations of women. The program will be moderated by NBC’s senior legal and investigative correspondent Cynthia McFadden.

SUMMARY:A Toast to Freedom: Evacuation Day Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:On the afternoon of November 25\, 1783\, the last of the British troops serving in the Revolutionary War departed from New York City. From an outpost on the city’s edge\, General Washington led a triumphant parade of American soldiers through the city’s streets. Evacuation Day signaled the return of peace to New York and the beginning of an independent United States. Join us for this immersive walking tour led by Mrs. Q\, recounting the route taken by General Washington through the city. From Cape’s Tavern to Fraunces Tavern\, you will meet familiar revolutionary faces\, like Alexander Hamilton and Culper Spy Ring member Abraham Woodhull. The tour will conclude at Fraunces Tavern Museum\, where a large celebration was held in honor of General Washington.

SUMMARY:The American Construction Industry: Its Historical Evolution and Potential Future
DESCRIPTION:Brian Bowen retired as president of Hanscomb Inc. in 2000\, after a long career in the construction industries of England\, Canada\, and the United States. In a second career as a Professor of Practice in the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology\, Bowen developed a course that became the basis of his important new book\, The American Construction Industry: Its Historical Evolution and Potential Future (Routledge\, 2021). As Thomas Leslie notes in the back-cover testimonial\, the volume adds an important perspective to standard architectural histories: “Relying on his background in the industry and using illuminating examples of contracts\, correspondence\, and other key documents across eras\, Bowen explains the combined effects of economics\, the law\, labor\, and professional organization\, among others\, in realizing both grand monuments and everyday dwellings.” The American Construction Industry\, he opines\, “is essential as a reference and enlightening as a narrative.”

SUMMARY:Ground Zero: Master Plans
DESCRIPTION:Two design competitions determined the direction of the master plan at Ground Zero and the concept and position of the 9/11 memorial and museum. Ultimately the memorial\, museum\, and landscaped plaza encompassed eight of the sixteen acres of the World Trade Center site. The very public and political process of creating the cultural institutions on that half of the site was the subject of an enlightening discussion on September 21\, 2021\, with Craig Dykers\, Gary Hack\, Lynne Sagalyn\, and Frank Sciame\, Jr. that can be viewed on video. Meanwhile\, on the other eight acres\, five skyscrapers that would replace the 10 million sq. ft. of office space in the destroyed World Trade Center moved forward\, with the key player being the private investor-developer\, Silverstein Properties. While the replacement for the collapsed 7 WTC rose quickly\, the other towers stalled. Today\, after many revisions in design and repositions of ownership\, three of the masterplan buildings are completed\, while Tower 2 has stump foundations and an indeterminate future. The problematic site on the southern edge of the memorial plaza for a mixed-use Tower 5 has recently been announced.

SUMMARY:Children’s Tree Dedication Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:In January 1943\, a Jewish teacher imprisoned in the Terezín (Theresienstadt) concentration camp planted a silver maple tree and nurtured it along with a group of Jewish children\, who used their precious water rations to help it grow. 78 years later\, join us as we dedicate a newly-planted descendant of that tree in front of the Museum. The dedication ceremony will feature keynote remarks from Linda Thomas-Greenfield\, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. The ceremony will also include remarks from Dr. Michael Berenbaum\, world-renowned historian and Director of the Sigi Ziering Institute at American Jewish University\, and music from the student choir at PS/IS 276: The Battery Park City School. Fred Terna and Rene Slotkin\, survivors of Terezín\, will water the newly-planted tree and share their reflections on the occasion. The tree bears the name “The Children’s Tree” in memory of the Jewish children in Terezín who first planted the tree\, and in honor of the students at PS/IS 276\, located across the street from the Museum\, who will become the tree’s caretakers for generations to come.

SUMMARY:DeFi and the Future of Finance
DESCRIPTION:Webinar. During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008\, our financial infrastructure failed. Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down. This episode spurred a serious rethink of our financial system. Does it make any sense that it takes two days to settle a stock transaction? Why do retailers\, operating on razor thin margins\, have to pay 3% for every customer credit card swipe? Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage—or any other company? Why are savings rates miniscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financ­ing at traditional banks?
