Dear <<First Name>>,

Two social events in October for LLI members

Wednesday, October 16, Hessel Museum Discovery Day 1:00 p.m.

Context is everything, and in this interactive visit to the Hessel show Start Making Sense, we will take a playful approach to understanding it. See art as you never have before-stand back, get close, talk to the person next to you. What do you see? Is there a common thread here?

We will use the Hessel Museum Collection Show as a backdrop for our exploration. Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artwork and the context that literally “makes sense” of the works on display. There are over 60 artists in the show, which focuses on New York City in the 1990s and early 2000s. But this is just a starting point, a road map looking for links across different media. What are the devices that connect all of the players in the room?

Come with an open mind and let’s find out!

L. Walker, LLI member, is hosting this event joined by Casey Robertson, Hessel Public Engagement Manager.

Friday, October 18, Weis Cinema, Bertelsmann Campus Center 1:00 p.m.

The documentary Borderland/The Line Within will be shown free to LLI members followed by a Q&A with the film director Pamela Yates and producer Palo de Onis. This event builds upon the two fall immigration courses.

The United States border is not just a geographic location. The border is everywhere. It lies within every undocumented immigrant family under threat of incarceration and deportation. This electrifying documentary weaves together heroines and heroes showing a way forward intent on building a movement in the shadow of the border industrial complex.

Pamela Yates and Paco de Onis are award-winning documentary filmmakers and co-founders of Skylight, a human rights media organization dedicated to advancing social justice through storytelling. LLI member Martha Honey will moderate a discussion with the filmmakers following the movie.
