SUMMARY:Disasters in Connecticut: Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Floods and earthquakes\, wars and famines\, engineering failures and economic collapses — these frightening events seem to define modern life. We call them “disasters.” But what makes a disaster different from other periods of time? In a freewheeling conversation\, two leading scholars in the field of disaster studies will consider events in Connecticut history and beyond\, thinking out loud together about why some kinds of bad news are considered disasters while others are not\, and what difference it makes. \nLight refreshments will be served\, and River Bend Bookshop will be on hand to sell copies of the speakers’ work. \nAndy Horowitz is the Connecticut State Historian and an Associate Professor of History at UConn. He is the author of Katrina: A History\, 1915–2015 (Harvard University Press\, 2020)\, which won the Bancroft Prize in American history. Jacob A. C. Remes is a clinical associate professor of history at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study\, where he directs the Initiative for Critical Disaster Studies. He is the author of Disaster Citizenship: Survivors\, Solidarity\, and Power in the Progressive Era (University of Illinois Press\, 2016). Together\, Remes and Horowitz edited Critical Disaster Studies (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2021). \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Public Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org. \nTICKETS\n$15 General Admission\n$10 Members\nFREE for Connecticut Museum NARM members and above \nGET TICKETS\n

SUMMARY:Wide Awake: The Connecticut Youth Movement that Elected Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:In the election before the Civil War\, young anti-slavery activists in Connecticut organized one of the largest\, strangest\, and most consequential mass movements in American history. Marching in militaristic\, torchlit rallies\, these Wide Awakes launched a diverse grassroots campaign to defend democracy from slavery. Their incredible rise helped elect Lincoln\, but also sparked the Civil War\, exploring the boundaries between political speech and political violence\, democracy and war. Join us to learn more about the Wide Awakes with Jon Grinspan\, Curator of Political History at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and author of the new book\, Wide Awake: The Forgotten Force that Elected Lincoln and Spurred the Civil War. \nCome early to view our new exhibition about the Wide Awakes\, which draws on the Connecticut Museum’s trove of artifacts relating to the Hartford-area founders of the movement. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but we recommend that you register to reserve a spot. You can also purchase a copy of the book in advance when you click “GET TICKETS” below. Your copy will be available for pick up at the event. Copies of the book will also be available for purchase at the event\, courtesy of our friends at River Bend Book Shop. \nLight refreshments will be served. Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Public Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org. \nABOUT OUR SPEAKER \nJon Grinspan is Curator of Political History at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History\, and frequent contributor to the New York Times. His work explores the deep history – and fraught present – of American democracy. He is the award-winning author of three books\, most recently Wide Awake: The Forgotten Force that Elected Lincoln and Spurred the Civil War. As a Smithsonian curator\, he also collects objects from contemporary political events (primaries\, conventions\, protests\, etc)\, to help tell the story of America’s past and present to museum-goers in the future. \nTickets\nTo register\, click below. \nGET TICKETS\n

SUMMARY:Persian Calligraphy Workshop with Alibaba Awrang
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an introduction to Persian Calligraphy with master calligrapher Alibaba Awrang. Fusing Persian letters with bright\, bold colors and patterns\, Alibaba uses both traditional and modern artistic techniques. Awrang will present an overview of calligraphy\, give a demonstration and show examples of his work\, and then assist you in creating your own piece. No experience needed; all skill levels welcome. All materials will be provided. Alibaba will also share his story\, including his position as head the Department of Calligraphy and Miniature Painting at the Turquoise Mountain Institute in Afghanistan\, an NGO founded by the former Prince of Wales (now King Charles III). \nTICKETS (includes all materials)\n$30 General Admission\n$25 Members\nFree for Connecticut Museum NARM members and above \nGET TICKETS[divider line_type=”no-line” custom_height=””]\nAbout the Artist: Awrang comes from Ghazni Province in Afghanistan. He studied calligraphy in Tehran\, Iran.\, and opened his own gallery in Kabul\, where he also taught calligraphy. His work is well known in the Eastern world\, with exhibitions in Kabul\, Tehran\, Bahrain\, Dubai\, Istanbul\, Islam Abad\, Tajikistan and Melbourne\, among others. His recent commission of a large triptych was installed in the fall of 2022 in the entry gallery of the I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art in Doha\, Qatar. At the pinnacle of his career\, Awrang was evacuated from Afghanistan by the U.S. Department of State in 2021\, and is relaunching his career from his new home in Connecticut. \nSince his arrival\, Awrang’s work has been featured in three exhibitions in Connecticut: a sold-out show\, From Kabul to Connecticut\, in November\, 2022\, at the Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens in Litchfield County; in a September 2023-January 2024 show at the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury\, Between the Worlds: Stories of Artists and Migrations\, co-curated by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Munson-Williams Proctor Arts Institute\, and the Mattatuck Museum; and in a recent show at the Five Points Annex in Torrington\, CT. \n“While my work is rooted in ancient tradition\, it is a new kind of Islamic art\,” explains Awrang\, “striving to open a new horizon by connecting the past\, present and future through the prism of postmodernism. I depart from tradition by combining both script and painting. In every maze of my calligraphic work\, there is mystery; and in every turn and twist of its colors\, I reflect the human condition.” \nQuestions?

Explore Connecticut’s pivotal role in shaping reggaeton within the Puerto Rican diaspora\, and participate in an immersive exploration into the roots and evolution of one of the most influential music genres. \nConnecticut\, often overlooked in discussions about Reggaeton\, played a significant role in fostering the genre’s growth within the Puerto Rican diaspora.
