SUMMARY:From Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age
DESCRIPTION:FROM MEDIEVAL WARM PERIOD TO THE LITTLE ICE AGE: Join the Danbury Library for a compelling Zoom program as Dr. Mitch Wagener from the Department of Biology and Environmental Sciences at Western Connecticut State University delves into the intricate and interconnected stories behind some of history’s most significant developments. \nThis session will explore how early contact between Europeans\, Africans\, and Native Americans led to the spread of diseases to which New World peoples had no resistance. This caused millions of deaths\, resulting in abandoned agricultural lands reverting to forests\, which removed CO2 from the atmosphere and intensified the cooling of the Little Ice Age. The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora further cooled the climate\, leading to the “Year Without Summer” in 1816. During this time\, the poet Byron inspired Mary Shelley to write “Frankenstein\,” considered the first science fiction novel. \nFrom 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. This is a virtual event via Zoom. \nFREE. Registration is Required.\nFor more information\, visit https://danburylibrary.events.mylibrary.digital/event?id=114094 or contact Aurelio Muraca amuraca@danburylibrary.org

SUMMARY:The Future of Sustainable Land Use and Forestry
DESCRIPTION:THE FUTURE OF SUSTAINABLE LAND USE AND FORESTRY:  \nSpeaker: Dr. Mitch Wagener \nProfessor of Biology\, Western CT State University \nMonday\, October 14\, 2024 \n6:45 p.m. check-in; 7 p.m. program \nRegister at: bit.ly/SustainableLandandForests \nHybrid meeting (in person and virtual) \nAt the October 14\, 2024\, program of Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County (HFFC) Dr. Mitch Wagener\, Climate Change educator and Professor of Biology at Western Connecticut State University\, will return to discuss sustainable land use and forestry. \nOur fate is strongly influenced by the ecological changes in our environment. As the world warms and the local climate and soil characteristics change\, trees and other large plants are affected. Alive\, those plants take in significant quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere\, but when they senesce and decompose\, that carbon is released\, which contributes to further climate change. Dr. Wagener will discuss how we can promote sustainable land use and protect the healthy\, growing forests that are vital to our future and to the future of the world’s grandchildren. \nDr. Wagener has been teaching ecology\, climate change and related courses at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury since 1996. In 2019\, he received the Aquarion Environmental Champion Award\, Individual Communication category. That same year Dr. Wagener received an official citation from the Connecticut General Assembly for his efforts in climate change education and community service. \nThis meeting is free and open to all. Join us at the Wilton (Connecticut) Quaker Meetinghouse for the presentation and come to the social hour beforehand. Gourmet pizza and refreshments will be served from 6:15-7 p.m. The presentation will start at 7 p.m. We will also be recording and broadcasting this meeting virtually via Zoom for anyone who is unable to join us in person. \nRegister at bit.ly/SustainableLandandForests to attend in person or to receive a link to participate online. \nThe Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County\, Connecticut (HFFC)\, espouses reason and compassion\, and seeks to promote humanism and free thought in our community. It holds general meetings\, film events\, book discussions\, solstice celebrations\, charitable activities\, and science roundtables. Learn more at h

For over three years he followed scientists from a wide range of disciplines at work in the Arctic\, Antarctic\, Southern Ocean\, New Zealand\, Europe and the United States. They talk about their work\, their hopes and fears with a rare candor and directness\, resulting in an intimate portrait of the global community of researchers racing to understand our planet’s changing climate and provide a compelling case for rising CO2 as the main cause.” Visit thiniceclimate.org to learn more about the film and the efforts to fund its creation. Location: Berkshire Dining Hall\, Midtown campus. Registration is required at https://wcsutickets.regfox.com/celebrate-earth-day-with-the-wcsu-libraries. \n5 to 7 p.m. – Climate Discussion – “Tesla won’t fix climate change” with Associate Professor of Social Sciences Dr. Manoj Misra.

SUMMARY:Gallery Talk - Landscape in Art: From Delight to Alert by Marcy Freedman
DESCRIPTION:GALLERY TALK – LANDSCAPE IN ART: FROM DELIGHT TO ALERT BY MARCY FREEDMAN: As part of the exhibition\, Address: Earth in the Gallery at the Visual & Performing Arts Center\, artist and art historian Marcy B Freedman will present a gallery talk\, “Landscape in Art: From Delight to Alert\,” from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This event will take place in Choir Room 108 at the Visual & Performing Arts Center\, WCSU’s Westside Campus. \nFreedman will examine the role of the natural world in works of art dating from the Renaissance to the present. She will discuss the ways in which the landscape was subordinate to the holy figures in religious paintings of the 15th and 16th centuries in Italy\, where the Catholic Church was a dominant force in the world of art. Moving on to the 17th-century\, Freedman will highlight those artists in the Protestant areas of northern Europe who were pioneers in the development of a tradition of landscape painting that impacted the art of the 19th-century Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. She will then discuss the Cubist and Expressionist artists of the early 20th-century\, who found radical new ways of engaging with the natural world as they explored alternatives to naturalistic representation. Finally\, Freedman will consider those Earth artists whose monumental outdoor projects brought attention to the environmental movement of the late 20th century. She will conclude with an homage to a number of contemporary artists – such as Olafur Eliasson and Maya Lin – who are using their art to alert us to the devastating effects of climate change upon our earth. \nThe Address: Earth Exhibition will be on view through December 4\, 2022. The gallery will be open before and after the gallery talk and during regular gallery hours: Tues-Fri\, noon to 4 p.m.\, and Sat-Sun\, 1 to 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:"Pond Reflections"
DESCRIPTION:FILM SCREENING & ARTIST TALK WITH ADDRESS: EARTH ARTIST\, ROSALIND SCHNEIDER: As part of the exhibition\, Address: Earth in the Gallery at the Visual & Performing Arts Center\, artist\, and filmmaker Rosalind Schneider will present a screening of her film\, “Pond Reflections\,” and discuss her work from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This event will take place in Choir Room 108 at the Visual & Performing Arts Center. \n“Pond Reflections” is footage collected over three years of seasonal reflections on water as the primal source of creation. Surrounding trees\, rocks\, and landscape trace the cycle of life. Peter Rubin\, a recent graduate of the Berklee School of Music composed the film score and may also participate in the discussion. \nRosalind Schneider creates works that transcend their source to form a new reference to a visionary landscape. She creates layered landscape images with multiple realities that progress from the real into abstraction and a fusion of the two. Her Digital Fusion paintings result from the capture of a video frame as a starting point and are realized through hands-on manipulation. The surfaces are transformed by drawing\, acrylic\, and glass particle collage resulting in a luminous translation that speaks to its moving image origin. Multiple realities are birthed from video. Schneider was the first artist to show the film as an art at the Hirshhorn Museum\, following a solo show of her films at the Whitney Museum. Exhibitions of film\, video\, digital prints\, and paintings include the Bronx Museum of the Arts\, Islip Museum\, Chelsea Museum\, Hudson River Museum\, SculptureCenter\, and MOMA (Carte Blanche: Women Writing the Language of Cinema). Her 16mm films are currently being restored by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and will be part of the film archive at the Academy Museum. \nMore of Schneider’s work is on view in the exhibition\, Address: Earth\, from October 13 through December 4\, 2022. The gallery will be open before and after the film screening and during regular gallery hours: Tues-Fri\, noon to 4 p.m.\, and Sat-Sun\, 1 to 4 p.m.
