Conference | Design, Justice & Zero Waste: Exploring Pathways to the Circular Economy
As the world’s population increasingly urbanizes and the climate crisis worsens, the global economy risks breaching planetary boundaries with potentially catastrophic consequences if we continue to produce and consume at levels set by western standards. Frontline communities and workers in waste, manufacturing and distribution face disproportionate impacts from environmental degradation and extractive and exploitative industry practices. The conference will focus on how issues of production, consumption and waste impact environmental justice communities, workers and vulnerable populations. By advancing a circular economy, we can reduce often-overlooked sources of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as those from the supply chain of the manufacturing sector. Reducing consumer and industrial waste will be instrumental in lowering national GHG emissions and could help state and local governments meet emission targets set by the Paris Climate Accords.

Experiments will call for the “scientists” to hypothesize about what they predict will happen, teach “investigators” how to be capable of finding solutions to big problems, will involve communicating with their fellow “scientists,” and will be completed independently by the “scientists.” Program is for adults.

Tour | High Line Tour
The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.

Opening Reception | Larry Burrows Revisited: 20th Century Photography Great
This show features over forty photographs that exemplify the Burrows's career as both one of the great humanist photographers of the Twentieth Century, as well as a pioneer in the use of color. Burrows was born in London in 1926. At age 16, he began working in the lab of Life magazine's London bureau. Poor eyesight kept him from a hoped-for position as an Army or Navy photographer in WW II. Instead he had to content himself with printing thousands of photos taken by LIFE'S great photographers of that war. Burrows's best known series is "One Ride with Yankee Papa 13", which Life published in 1965. From the opening spread, where a young and confident James Farley is introduced before a mission to airlift an infantry battalion, to its bloody sequence on the ensuing firefight and a failed rescue, to Farley's emotional return to base, the essay captures the universal humanity of man embroiled in the inhumanity of war. Burrows covered the war until 1971 when the helicopter in which he was riding to photograph the invasion of Laos was shot down, killing all aboard.

Lecture | Film Narratives Crossing Time and Space in the Americas
Although travel to and travel narratives about the Americas are not new phenomena --they go back to colonial encounters between Europeans and the native population, recording the strangeness the Europeans found, and the adaptations they had to make to understand it and survive in it, it is in our present moment that individuals and cultures have more fluidly travelled from one place to another. Certain landscapes, places, routes and themes within the Americas are more frequently rendered in films recently produced in the context of the Americas. Not only have specific destinations been more visited than others, but also certain narratives have travelled more widely being more frequently adapted to different media. Dislocation, displacement and deterritorialization can thus be analyzed from the perspective of the traveler, who moves from one place to another, as well as by the travelling narratives that are readapted and relocated in space and time across cultures and history, in what has been termed by Linda Hutcheon as transcultural adaptations. Frequent migratory currents of certain narratives and ideas within the Americas have formed clusters of knowledge and provided audiences’ imagination about specific cultures or nations. This talk will analyze the process of narrative continuity and displacement in recent films about immigration and travel within the Americas, as they can be read in relation to earlier films on the same theme. Speaker Anelise Reich Corseuil is Professor of Literatures in English and Film Studies at Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Brazil.

Discussion | How Neuroscience is Redefining Athletic Genius?

Why can't robots be as dexterous as the average five-year-old? Journalist, sports writer, and fan Zach Schonbrun talked to experts on motor control, from two neuroscientists in Major League Baseball who are upending the ways scouts traditionally evaluate players, to musical virtuosos, dancers, rock climbers, race-car drivers, and more. Turns out it's not about the million-dollar arm—it's the million-dollar brain.

Lecture | Jewish Publishing in Italy
It is well known that Italy is the homeland of the printed Hebrew book. Shortly after the invention of the printing press the first two volumes in Hebrew were printed in Rome and Reggio Calabria approximately between 1472 and 1487. The printed book had profound effects on the Jewish world, on one side opening networks of communication and exchange, on the other introducing new forms of internal normativity and authority. Family-run publishers flourished up to the first decades of the 20th century participating in the shaping of public life, education as well as the debate and aspirations of the new country. Early fascist purges, censorship and, eventually, the race laws of 1938 put an end to this story. Jewish-run publishing houses were either closed or confiscated and passed into the hands of non-Jewish owners. After the end of World War II, Jewish publishing resumed in various forms, Jewish newsprints and zines, the national Jewish journal La Rassegna Mensile di Israel, community bulletins to Yiddish and Hebrew press produced in DP camps. Shulim Vogelman, a representative of a new generation of Italian publishers committed to nourish Jewish life and make it known to the larger society, will discuss history and current perspectives.

Play | Henry V: Shakespeare from the Mobile Unit
Insulted by the regent of France, Britain’s King Henry V decides to wage war and claim the throne across the Channel. But Henry’s charm only distracts the soldiers for so long before the dire stakes of their task calls into question the King’s true motives and direction. Resonating from across the centuries—wherever there may be a kingdom for a stage, and royalty to act—Shakespeare’s drama about invasion, ego and leadership delves into history’s thorniest questions: What makes a person worthy of wearing the crown, and what do they owe the people they lead? Obie Award-winning director Robert O’Hara (Bootycandy, The Brother/Sister Plays (Part 2)) brings a warring King and his band of brothers to communities all across New York with Mobile Unit’s spring production of Henry V.

Screening | VICE's The Parkland Effect: in the aftermath of the school shooting
As the young survivors of the Florida school shooting keep up their marches and walkouts for gun control, the NRA is pushing back with its own go-to narrative: “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” In the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, lots of schools seemed to agree with that approach and moved to put more "good guys" in the classroom. This week, Gianna Toboni sees firsthand how some teachers are taking up arms and explores the deep divisions in America that make stopping these mass shootings seem nearly impossible. Please arrive early. First come, first seated.
