Our panel will explore why the United States has chosen to act now\, what strategic objectives are shaping current policy\, and how these decisions are being interpreted across Latin America and beyond.

SUMMARY:Weeknights at the Wagner: Art\, Science\, and the "Super/Natural"
DESCRIPTION:Artist Judith Schaechter discusses her monumental exhibit Super/Natural and how she combines science and art in her work to conjure wonder.\n\n\nWEEKNIGHTS AT THE WAGNER\nIn Conversation with Judith Schaechter: Art\, Science\, and the “Super/Natural”\n \nAcclaimed stained glass artist Judith Schaechter will discuss her immersive installation “Super/Natural”—a luminous\, three-tiered cosmos rendered in glass. The work draws on her residency at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics\, incorporating insights from biophilic design and the rich history of women’s contributions to botanical art. “Super/Natural” reimagines nature as a space of awe and contemplation\, inviting viewers into a renewed sense of wonder and connection with the living world. \nThe daughter of renowned microbiologist Elio Schaechter\, Judith will also explore the interplay between art and science. Through the lens of her own work\, she will consider where these disciplines intersect\, where they diverge\, and whether true objectivity is even possible in a world observed from within one’s own mind. \nAn evening lecture series\, Weeknights at the Wagner\, invites experts into our Victorian lecture hall to speak on a range of science and history of science related subjects. Each talk includes a Q&A with the speaker. \n“Super/Natural” is on view at the Michener Art Museum through September 14th\, and will then be on view at the Museum of Craft and Design in San Francisco\, California. \n \nAbout the Speaker\nJudith Schaechter lives and works in Philadelphia. Her work is collected internationally and is represented in the collections of the Smithsonian\, the Metropolitan Museum in New York\, the Victoria and Albert in London and the Hermitage\, among others. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005 and her work was in the 2002 Whitney Biennial. In 2013\, Judith was inducted to the College of Fellows of the American Craft Council. She received a lifetime achievement award from the Glass Art Society in 2022 and in 2023\, she was named a Smithsonian Visionary Artist. \nIn 2020-21\, Judith’s work was the subject of a retrospective exhibition organized by the Memorial Art Gallery of Rochester\, NY\, which traveled to the Toledo Museum and the Des Moines Art Center. \n \n\n\n\n \nA dream that keeps growing… \nIn 1855\, William Wagner had a dream of providing free science education to anyone who wanted to learn\, regardless of background or ability to pay. Today\, the Wagner offers more programs to more people than ever before! Your support helps us provide free education\, not only through the museum\, but through a wide range of courses\, lectures\, field trips\, and children’s science programs. Donations also assist us in caring for the museum and library collections and in preserving our wonderful building\, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1990. To learn more about what we do please visit our website. \n\nRegistration Information\nIn keeping with its original charter\, admission to the lecture is free—donations are suggested to ensure the future and quality of Wagner’s free education programs and to preserve its National Landmark building and collections. \nSuggested Donations \n$10/adult \n$5/student \nFor any questions\, please email communications@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x17. \nIf you would like to check your membership status or become a member\, please email KellyT@wagnerfreeinstitute.org or call 215-763-6529 x11. \n \nImages: \nDetail shots of “Super/Natural\,” stained glass dome structure.

SUMMARY:Dinner with King Tut
DESCRIPTION:Join author Sam Kean for an archaeological experience like no other. \nWhat does history taste like? How about the smell? Sound and touch? \nExperimental archeologists have gone rogue and immersed themselves fully into the material landscape of a time long ago. Sam Kean’s latest book\, “Dinner with King Tut\,” tells about his time learning with this team of innovative researchers across the globe to uncover what life was really like for our ancient ancestors. From firing medieval catapults\, trying his hand at ancient surgery and tattooing\, to building Roman-style roads\, this is sure to be an exciting tale of history’s often neglected tastes\, textures\, sounds\, and smells that were an intimate part of our ancestors’ lives.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Love Sick in the West Bank & Coyotes
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, December 11 at 7 PM for a screening of Love Sick in the West Bank & Coyotes\, the acclaimed 20-minute short film recently awarded Best Short at the BFI Film Festival. \nAbout Love Sick in the West Bank \nA Palestinian family hosts a young American tourist after a simple misunderstanding. But as chaos unfolds in their village\, it doesn’t take too long for them to become part of the absurd mayhem that immediately ensues. \nAbout Coyotes \nSet on a desolate night in the occupied West Bank\, Coyotes follows young surgeon Lubna as an unexpected breakdown on a remote road leads to an unsettling encounter with a stranger. Blending thriller elements with sharp political insight\, director Said Zagha offers a gripping look at autonomy\, vulnerability\, and the pressures facing Palestinians simply trying to live their lives. Inspired by real accounts\, Coyotes reframes familiar narratives with complex characters and a tense\, atmospheric unfolding that highlights the emotional and political landscape of the region. \nThe screening will be followed by a pre-recorded interview with the director of both films\, Said Zagha and film critic\, Joseph Fahim. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish\, with a suggested donation of $10.
