SUMMARY:Image Par Image Collage Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Natasha Guy for a workshop that will use collage as a way to explore historical images. \n2026 marks not just the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, but also the 200th anniversary of photography. In honor of these celebrations\, participants will use historical images from the Print and Picture Collection to compose a collage and discuss what they’ve made as a group\, exploring topics like how a city pictures itself\, how photographs build collective memory\, and the ways that history can be reopened through collage. The workshop will be held in the Art Department at Parkway Central Library and will run from 5 pm to 7:30 pm. No experience is needed and all materials will be provided. \nParticipants should pre-register at the link below: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0qz0VdHI0qEIrDA6DdnU6FrpSI4ekhsFkv1HFxDQvXqHCPg/viewform?usp=publish-editor

SUMMARY:Private Finance\, Public Power: A Free Talk on the History of Bank Supervision in America
DESCRIPTION:Banks may be private\, profit-driven institutions—but the public has always shaped the risks they take and paid the price when they fail.\nPrivate Finance\, Public Power explores this uneasy partnership over two centuries of American history\, from the wildcat banks of the early republic to the rise of federal deposit insurance and modern financial regulation. \nWharton professor Peter Conti-Brown and historian Sean Vanatta bring this story to life with colorful characters and surprising moments: rogues looting failed banks\, con artists posing as government examiners\, bribes paid in oyster dinners\, and reformers struggling to build order out of chaos. Through repeated crises and improvisation\, today’s complex banking oversight system emerged—flawed\, strained\, but largely functional. \nIn this talk\, Wharton professor Peter Conti-Brown explores why this history matters for understanding the challenges facing U.S. banking today. \nThis event will be held in room 131/132 on the first floor of the Heim Center.
