Glass in Context: Part 1
2025-08-23 18:00 - 19:30
The history of glass is a rich resource, a tool to help facilitate the realization of ideas, as valuable as a blowpipe, kiln, pencil or paper. Knowledge of the field also helps to locate work in an historical context as well as assisting in the understanding of contemporary practice and issues. What is common to all types of glass is its inherent fluidity, which has always given glass objects their unique quality. As a result of these properties, glass has had, and still has, the widest application of any material. Through a series of presentations, this class will look at some of these applications throughout history, including domestic, sculptural, and architectural.
Part 1: From Egypt to Venice
Week 1: September 23 | 6:00 – 7:30 PM
And Then There Was Glass: Egypt, Greece, Rome
Week 2: October 28 | 6:00 – 7:30 PM

Rooftop Films at Brooklyn Commons Park
2025-08-13 20:30 - 22:00
Rooftop Films free Summer Series at Brooklyn Commons Park. Seating opens at 7:00pm
Screenings:

7/30: Dark Toons | From ghost towns to fever dreams, these animated tales stretch the imagination and snap it back with a shiver. Uncanny, offbeat, and hauntingly tender, this is where dark humor and darker truths collide.
8/6: Shahid | A clever, genre-bending film mixing reality, fiction, theatre, and music. Director Narges Shahid Kalhor casts and actor as a version of herself, determined to shed the name “Shahid” (martyr).
8/13: There Was, There Was Not | The first line of every Armenian fairy tale, There Was, There Was Not tells the collective myth of a homeland lost forever – and four women’s resistance to that loss.
