SUMMARY:Rebuilding Notre-Dame
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”RSVP Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fhost.nxt.blackbaud.com%2Fregistration-form%2F%3FformId%3Daa561006-85c3-4670-8089-0e4d0334130b%26envId%3Dp-Dm_SN_kaVE6HLULDUnPr0g%26zone%3Deur|target:_blank”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”Zoom Link” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fus06web.zoom.us%2Fj%2F82160346890|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]This event is part of Ways of Seeing\, a special series exploring the connections between storytelling\, creativity\, and the visual world. Join the conversation and attend events featuring cultural luminaries. Learn more → \nFive years after the devastating 2019 fire\, Notre Dame has reopened to the public\, thanks to the tireless efforts of thousands of workers in a €900 million restoration. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges\, triumphs\, and artistry that brought Notre Dame back to life.  \nNew York Times journalist Aurelien Breeden\, carpenter Hank Silver\, architect Axelle Ponsonnet\, and photographer Tomas Van Houtryve will share their unique perspectives on the restoration process. Moderated by Erin Ogunkeye\, broadcast journalist with France 24.  \nAbout the speakers: \nAurelien Breeden is a Franco-American journalist who has been a reporter at the Paris bureau of The New York Times for over a decade. He covers a broad spectrum of news\, including the 2019 fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral and the efforts to rebuild it. He has a dual master’s degree in journalism and international affairs from Sciences Po university in Paris\, where he teaches an eight-week writing and reporting workshop. He lives in Paris with his wife and three daughters. \nErin Ogunkeye grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia but has spent more time living in Paris than any other city. She studied French law before realising she wanted to feel a closer connection to the rest of the world by following\, relaying and breaking down current events; perhaps not too differently from the way a lawyer connects with a jury. She is an anchor at France 24 and presents ‘Around the World’ from Thursday to Sunday.  \nAxelle Ponsonnet\, an architect graduated from the École d’Architecture de Paris Belleville\, has been involved in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral for the past four years\, overseeing the lead roofing. Passionate about imagery and drawing\, Axelle has been sketching the site since 2020\, providing an intimate and privileged perspective on the rebuilding process of the iconic structure. Her book\, “Balade dans Notre-Dame\, carnet de chantier\,” a unique and intimate exploration of the reconstruction of Notre-Dame Cathedral\, is forthcoming. \nHank Silver is an American timber frame carpenter who has spent close to two years working on the restoration of Notre Dame de Paris. Born in New York City\, Silver honed his craft in Vermont\, before opening his own workshop in western Massachusetts. Since 2018\, Silver has been a member of the France-based volunteer crew\, Charpentiers sans frontières (Carpenters Without Borders) whose mission is the restoration of world carpentry heritage and the transmission of the skills and techniques to future generations of craftspeople. Silver currently resides in Paris. \nTomas van Houtryve is a Paris based artist\, photographer and filmmaker whose major works interweave investigative journalism\, philosophy and metaphor. Van Houtryve was selected to document the Notre-Dame cathedral of Paris after it was devastated by fire in 2019. With rare access to the rebuilding of the Paris icon\, he made images using a wide range of techniques: 19th-century wet plate collodion\, traditional photo reportage\, and aerial drone videography.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:(Online) The International Library: Queer Migrations
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Register” style=”custom” custom_background=”#194573″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-child” css=”” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.londonlibrary.co.uk%2Fwhats-on%2F258-the-international-library-queer-migrations%3Fdate%3D2024-11-14-19-30|target:_blank”][vc_column_text css=””]The London Library is delighted to welcome Gaar Adams and Sulaiman Addonia\, two writers whose new works consider the complex intersections of queerness and migration. \nGaar Adams’s debut work of non-fiction\, Guest Privileges\, is a mix of memoir and reportage which explores what it means to be queer in the Gulf States and his own decade-long journey of dislocation. Asking why LGBTQ+ migrants might choose to live in a region where penalties for queer acts include torture and death\, he riskily gathered interviews and stories from across the region. But as he began his own clandestine queer relationship\, faultlines and deeper questions began to emerge\, revealing his own disquieting assumptions about the motivations and identities of others. \nSulaiman Addonia’s third novel\, The Seers\, follows the first weeks of a homeless Eritrean refugee in London. Set around a foster home in Kilburn\, in the squares of Bloomsbury where its protagonist sleeps\, and against the backdrop of the labyrinthine bureaucracy of the UK asylum system\, the novel considers intergenerational histories and colonial trauma alongside the psychological and sexual lives of refugees\, insisting that the erotic and intimate side of life is as much a part of someone’s story as land and nations are. \nIn conversation with novelist Isabelle Dupuy\, these extraordinary writers discuss migration\, dislocation and queerness\, what it takes to balance opportunity and risk\, subversion and assimilation\, how to build a life and a community and what constitutes home. \nSulaiman Addonia appears as part of Flip Through Flanders\, presented by Flanders Literature. \nAbout the Speakers \nGaar Adams is the author of Guest Privileges: Queer Lives and Finding Home in the Middle East (Harvill Secker\, 2024.) His reporting from the Middle East and South Asia has been featured in publications including The Atlantic\, Foreign Policy\, Rolling Stone\, Bloomberg\, Al Jazeera\, Slate and VICE. He was on the 2020-21 London Library Emerging Writers Programme and received his Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Glasgow. He currently teaches on the MA in Creative Writing at the University of Hull and lives in London. \nSulaiman Addonia FRSL is an Eritrean-Ethiopian-British novelist who came to London as an underage unaccompanied refugee. His other novels include The Consequences of Love and Silence is My Mother Tongue\, which have been shortlisted for awards including the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the African Literary Award from MoAD in San Francisco. His essays appear in Lit Hub\, Granta\, Freeman’s\, The New York Times\, De Standaard and Passa Porta. He lives in Brussels where he founded the Creative Writing Academy for Refugees & Asylum Seekers and the Asmara-Addis Literary Festival In Exile (AALFIE). \nIsabelle Dupuy grew up in Haiti\, has lived in America and came to the UK to work on a City trading floor before becoming an author. Her first novel Living the Dream was shortlisted for the Diverse Book Awards 2021. Her writing has been published in the New York Times\, Bad Form Review\, Black Ballad\, the Bookseller\, the RLF’s Writer’s Mosaic and more. She is a trustee of The London Library. \nAbout The International Library: \nThe International Library is a series launched in collaboration with the American Library in Paris\, the Center for the Art of Translation in San Francisco\, The Center for Fiction in Brooklyn and The London Library\, which offers conversations across time\, place\, and language. The International Library celebrates the live diffusion of in-person conversations in the hope of connecting new audiences across land and sea for a collective\, intercultural experience.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”54509″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
