Four Anniversary Events
New York, NY
For the past two decades, our work has been guided by the belief that the underappreciated records of the everyday experience of history offer invaluable perspectives on global events. Our upcoming four-part program series will bring together scholars from a variety of disciplines—from history and sociology to literature and visual culture—to share their interpretations of the ephemeral artifacts that have been important to their work and the stories of their creators, whether artists shaping worldviews or “regular” people leaving an often-unintended record.
Because our collections touch on so many topics with immediate relevance—war and propaganda, authoritarian regimes, individual experience and expression, and the role of art in times of crisis—we hope that by reflecting on the past, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own historical moment.
