12:00pm – 1:00pm
Few moments in history have seen as many seismic transformations as 1979. That year marked the emergence of revolutionary Islam as a political force, the beginning of market revolutions that would radically alter the international economy, and the first stirrings of the resistance movements that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Christian Caryl shows how the world we live in today began to take shape in this pivotal year. A book signing will follow the program.

Nelson Gutierrez’s current work The Death of Fear is comprised of about 90 ink and pencil drawings on paper following recent worldwide social uprisings. Nelson is intrigued with the manifestations and, in some cases, the revolutions that we have witnessed in recent years. He has selected images from 15 different countries, from the Arab Uprising to the streets of Athens, where the social malaise is palpable. Read more.
