Roitman has served as the head of the Shrine of the Book and the Lizbeth and George Krupp Curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Israel Museum for more than 25 years.

SUMMARY:Lequeu\, Exceptional Draftsman?
DESCRIPTION:If it were not for his drawings at the Bibliothèque nationale de France\, Jean-Jacques Lequeu would be a simple footnote in the history of late eighteenth-century French architecture.  Lequeu’s drawings reflect the way architects of his generation tended to rely more heavily on graphic communication than on textual or theoretical means of expressing their ideas.  Lequeu established a specific and original dialogue between text and image that allowed him to question and distort the graphic language set by his colleagues. Join Basile C. Baudez\, Assistant Professor at Princeton University\, for a presentation contextualizing Lequeu’s production in the history of architectural draftsmanship and to uncover the reasons why he remains one of the most fascinating artists of his time. \nThe exhibition Jean-Jacques Lequeu: Visionary Architect. Drawings from the Bibliothèque nationale de France will be open at 5:30 PM for program attendees.

SUMMARY:Unmasking Mengele
DESCRIPTION:One of the most notorious war criminals of all time\, Dr. Josef Mengele has come to symbolize both the evil of the Nazi regime and the failure of justice in the postwar world. \nDrawing on new scholarship and sources\, historian David G. Marwell examines Mengele’s life and career\, chronicling his university studies\, which led to two PhDs and a promising career as a scientist; his wartime service\, in combat and at Auschwitz\, where his “selections” determined the fate of countless innocents and his “scientific” pursuits resulted in the traumatization and death of thousands more; and his postwar refuge in Germany and South America. Mengele describes the international search in 1985\, which ended in a cemetery in São Paulo\, Brazil\, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died—but failed to convince those who\, arguably\, most wanted him dead. This is a story of science without limits\, escape without freedom\, and resolution without justice. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King and Mary Shelley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special Martin Luther King Jr. day Olio\, free and open to the public. Patricia Kim will use Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a lens to understand MLK’s reflections on our society which is often TOO well adjusted. This is a free event but participants should RSVP to reserve a seat. \nWe will discuss the ways in which King reflects upon our obligation to remain maladjusted to racism\, religious bigotry\, economic inequality\, and violence and hold space to talk about the very real consequences that exist all around us—from the mental health of our everyday lives to the mental health of our most vulnerable populations. \nPatricia Kim received her MFA from Columbia University and teaches Composition and Literature classes at Baruch College while completing a novel.

SUMMARY:Book Launch for Seven Sisters and a Brother—Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s
DESCRIPTION:Untold Truths Behind Black Student Activism in the 1960s: Marilyn Allman Maye\, Harold S. Buchanan\, Jannette O. Domingo and Marilyn Holifield with Brent Staples \n\n\n\n\nHenry Louis Gates\, Jr. has called Seven Sisters and a Brother “compelling portraits of the lives of the young people who risked their futures to make a difference.” \nFour of the eight authors will sit down with Brent Staples of the New York Times to discuss their experiences as activists in an elite liberal arts college in the 1960s. When the eight students at Swarthmore College demanded a Black Studies curriculum and protested the decreased enrollment and hiring of African Americans in 1969\, the peaceful protest was misreported through a negative lens. This long overdue choral memoir chronicles their eight-day sit-in. It is a story of great relevance at a time in which first-generation college students and millennial activists have demonstrated a desire for increased political engagement. According to Congresswoman Donna Shalala\, “Theirs is a story of the power of collective action\, the value of shared identity\, and the thrill of progress.” \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:The Politics of Preservation
DESCRIPTION:MoMA PS1 presents an afternoon of programming that examines the destruction of Iraqi heritage by the allied forces during the Gulf wars. Scholarship and mainstream attention surrounding the destruction and preservation of cultural heritage in Iraq have tended to focus largely on antiquity. This critical conversation expands this scope to not only address archeological sites and artifacts\, but to also focus on the living contemporary culture of Iraq\, posing questions about how culture is perceived\, instrumentalized\, and valued during times of war and occupation. \nMedical anthropologist Omar Dewachi\, whose research focuses on the intersection of global health\, the history of medicine\, and political anthropology\, leads the discussion. He is joined by Zahra Ali\, Zainab Bahrani\, David Harvey\, and Zainab Saleh. Following the presentations\, participants will come together in a conversation moderated by Ali. \nThe discussion is followed by a concert from renowned Iraqi maqam vocalist Hamid Al-Saadi performing with the celebrated ensemble Safaafir featuring Amir ElSaffar.
