SUMMARY:Lincoln Center Presents- San Juan Hill: Manhattan's Lost Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood is an hour-long documentary directed by Emmy Award winner Stanley Nelson\, preeminent documentarian of the African American experience. In the first half of the twentieth century\, the area where Lincoln Center now stands was known as San Juan Hill. Predating the golden age of the Harlem Renaissance\, musical phenomena like Bebop and the Charleston bloomed in this cultural mecca. Home to a largely working-class community\, San Juan Hill was redlined in the 1930s and targeted by “urban renewal” in the 1940s and 1950s\, displacing thousands of residents. Their stories of home\, belonging\, and resilience have gone untold until now. Through never-before-accessed historical footage\, expert commentary\, first-person storytelling with former residents\, and narration by Academy Award-winning actress Ariana DeBose (West Side Story)\, San Juan Hill: Manhattan’s Lost Neighborhood celebrates the people\, arts\, and culture whose enduring legacy resonates today. \nThis film was commissioned by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and presented in association with Film at Lincoln Center. This film is made possible by support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. \nPanel Participants \nModerator\nLoren Schoenberg\, Founding Director and Senior Scholar\, National Jazz Museum in Harlem \nPanelists\nAaron Flagg\, Chair and Associate Director of Juilliard Jazz Studies\, The Juilliard School\nFredara Hadley\, Professor of Ethnomusicology\, The Juilliard School\nDr. Vanessa K. Valdés\, Writer and Independent Scholar\, African Diasporic Studies

SUMMARY:Book club with Joan: Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
DESCRIPTION:Book: Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker \nChava is a golem\, a creature made of clay\, brought to life by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic\, created to be the wife of a man who dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899. Ahmad is a jinni\, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert\, trapped in an old copper flask\, and released in New York City\, though still not entirely free. \nAhmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection. Marvelous and compulsively readable\, Helene Wecker’s debut novel The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature\, historical fiction and magical fable\, into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale. \nThis book is available from NLS as DB76801 for audio. Download it through BARD at nlsbard.loc.gov\, the BARD Mobile app\, or request them from your local NLS library. This book is also available in digital braille if you are a Bookshare member\, and we can emboss it for you if you would like it in hard copy braille.    \nTo register\, or if you have any access needs or require ASL interpretation\, contact us at register@jbilibrary.org or 646-616-3929.

SUMMARY:Guggenheim Mind's Eye: Deep Thinkers
DESCRIPTION:The Guggenheim New York celebrates the ideas\, people\, and art at the core of its mission by offering virtual and in-person Mind’s Eye programming for participants who are blind or have low vision.
