SUMMARY:A Conversation with Hannah Rose Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Library for a conversation between author\, artist\, and human rights activist Hannah Rose Thomas and President and CEO of the International Peace Institute and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Prince Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein. \nThis program introduces Thomas’ new book and coincides with the temporary art exhibition\, Tears of Gold — both of which feature portraits of Yazidi\, Rohingya\, and Nigerian women who have suffered violence in areas of conflict. \n  \n“One of Hannah’s aims is to capture not only the courage and stoicism of the women who have suffered so much\, but also the nobility\, dignity\, and extraordinary compassion that many of them manage to retain\, despite their traumatic experiences. I very much hope that this beautiful book\, Tears of Gold\, will help enable the Yazidi\, Rohingya\, and Nigerian women’s voices to be heard\, as well as to highlight the issue of the persecution of religious and ethnic minorities in general. All too often\, their stories of suffering remain unseen and unheard – but Hannah Thomas is doing tremendous work in bringing their stories out into the open. May her powerful paintings spread the word and\, God willing\, have a positive impact in relieving the suffering of some of the most vulnerable and marginalised communities around the world.” \nHRH Prince Charles (prior to his accession as HM King Charles III) \n  \n“…using a different color palette for each group…she captures her subjects’ particularities\, as well as the sometimes-haunted\, sometimes-resolute gaze they share­—which often seems to stare straight through the viewer.” \nPublishers Weekly \n  \nThe exhibition can be viewed in the Library from January 11th to January 27th.

SUMMARY:Modernism Inc. | a Documentary on Eliot Noyes presented by Grace Farms and Architecture & Design Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Modernism\, Inc. (75 minutes\, Director: Jason Cohn) tells the story of one of New Canaan’s most influential architects and a transitional figure in American design\, Eliot Noyes. Educated by Walter Gropius at Harvard\, Noyes brought a not-before-seen modernist design approach to corporate America. His impact on companies like IBM and Mobil paved the way for Apple and many design-conscious brands we know today. Noyes also built many houses in New Canaan\, including one in 1954\, where he raised his family. The house is an outstanding example of 1950’s Modernist residential design and is still owned by his three children.  \nModernism\, Inc. had its US premiere in October 2023 at the Architecture & Design Film Festival (ADFF) in New York. It is currently screening at festivals around the world including Modernism Week 2024 in Palm Springs. \n\nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with ADFF Festival Director Kyle Bergman\, director Jason Cohn\, IBM Corporate Archivist Jamie Martin\, and architect and son of Eliot Noyes\, Frederick Noyes. The evening is hosted by Grace Farms Architecture Advisor Toshihiro Oki.\n\n\n  \nDoors open at 5 pm. Program will begin at 5:30 pm.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\npresented in collaboration with

SUMMARY:Conversations in Architecture | A River of Glass
DESCRIPTION:A common thread between the modernists of the past and the River building at Grace Farms is the use of glass. \nJoin us for a conversation about architectural glass between Grace Farms Architecture Advisor Toshihiro Oki and Michael Ra\, coming from Hong Kong as one of the Founding Principals at Front Inc.\, Founding Director of Via\, and Co-Chair of the Elefront initiative. \nFront Inc. was the project partner responsible for the design of the glass envelope used in the creation of the over 200 individually-sized\, curved glass panels at Grace Farms. \nTheir conversation explores the innovative and distinct glass system created to complement SANAA’s design concept; the creation of customized glass seals; and the process of sourcing of glass that meets high-quality fabrication\, energy\, and performance criteria. Ra will also speak about other projects they’ve worked on with SANAA projects over the past 20 years. \n  \nConversations in Architecture is an ongoing program series welcoming leading architects\, designers\, professors\, and practitioners to reflect on how architecture can act as a driver of humanitarian change through sustainable design\, forced labor-free buildings\, creative construction\, and more. This series is hosted by Toshihiro Oki. \n  \n\nThis event is approved for AIA CES 1.5 LU

SUMMARY:Beauty & Logic | Resonance
DESCRIPTION:“Everything Dances”\nThis April\, explore resonance\, a word layered with social and relational meaning. In physics\, it appears as a division by zero; in music\, it gives rise to phenomena including the mechanics of horns and acoustical feedback. \nBeauty and Logic is a unique math-meets-music experience exploring the sounds we love and the equations that make them possible. These educational concerts\, fusing bold musical performances with brief dives into the math behind the sounds and vibrations\, are hosted by Grace Farms Music Director\, saxophonist\, and trained mathematician\, Marcus G. Miller\, who performs with this band\, IWM. \n\nMarcus Miller began studying saxophone at age nine and developed a passion that put him on stage at 13. With gifts extending beyond music\, he graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Mathematics. After a short stint at a major hedge fund he moved to New York City to pursue music. He soon developed a reputation as a versatile and virtuosic player\, while studying music production and engineering under Grammy-Winning Engineer “Bassy” Bob Brockman (Notorious B.I.G\, Herbie Hancock\, D’Angelo). \nMarcus has performed at the Obama White House\, Madison Square Garden\, The World Economic Forum at Davos\, The Montreux Jazz Festival\, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Jon Batiste\, and Carnegie Hall. In addition\, he has worked with jazz giants ELEW and Jazzmeia Horn\, as well as major artists like The Fugees and Madonna. \nMarcus maintains his interest in mathematics and physics by giving talks and performances that combine Math and Music. He has been featured at TEDSummit 2019\, TEDxOttawa 2019\, Brown University\, University of Georgia\, and University of Michigan. He hopes to encourage people to become more aware of the potential for mathematics and music to serve as routes to personal\, spiritual\, and community development.
