SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Dana Thomas\, Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion and the Future of Clothes
DESCRIPTION:An investigation into the damage wrought by the colossal clothing industry – and the grassroots\, high-tech\, international movement fighting to reform it by New York Times bestselling author and journalist Dana Thomas. \nIn Fashionopolis\, journalist Dana Thomas surveys the environmental and human cost of a globalized\, profit-hungry supply chain: sweatshop labour\, ecological degradation\, overconsumption\, waste and creative exhaustion. As awareness of the damage inflicted on the planet by globalisation and consumerism increases\, “Fashionopolis” investigates the way that the clothing industry has become environmentally and ethically unsustainable. \nBut Fashionopolis also documents renewal\, and how technology and purpose are changing how we buy and produce clothes: from 3D printing to clean denim processing\, from smart manufacturing to hyperlocalism\, from the creation of truly circular fabrics to lab-grown leather. We have all been casual about how we get dressed. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to change. \nDana is the author of Gods and Kings and the New York Times bestseller Deluxe. She began her career writing for the Style section of The Washington Post\, and she has served as a cultural and fashion correspondent for Newsweek in Paris. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times Style section and has written for The New York Times Magazine\, The New Yorker\, The Wall Street Journal\, the Financial Times\, Vogue\, Harper’s Bazaar\, T: The New York Times Style Magazine\, and Architectural Digest. In 2016\, the French Minister of Culture named Dana a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters. She lives in Paris. \nA book sale will follow the event\, with books provided by The Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: David Chaffetz in conversation with Celestine Bohlen
DESCRIPTION:David Chaffetz read Persian\, Turkish and Arabic at Harvard University with Wheeler Thackston\, Richard Frye\, Anne-Marie Schimmel and Stuart Cary Welch. He worked for the Encyclopedia Iranica under Ehsan Yarshater. He wrote A Journey through Afghanistan (Chicago\, 2006). Over a period of 45 years he has travelled extensively in India\, Central Asia and China. \nHis latest book is Three Asian Divas: Women\, Art and Culture in Shiraz\, Dehli and Yangzhou. The diva is a nearly universal phenomenon. Wherever poetry\, music and mime have been practiced with virtuosity\, great women performers always take centre stage. Traditional Asian divas are however less well known and understood among English language readers than the great divas of Mozart and Puccini. Whether from Shiraz at the court of the Injuids\, from Delhi during the twilight of the Moghuls\, or from Yangzhou under the last Ming emperors\, these Asian divas constitute the first identifiably modern women. Though practicing classical and tradition-bound arts\, they were economically independent\, and were free to give or withhold love. Indeed\, in many ways\, they paved the way for the emergence of the modern woman in Asian societies. \n  \nFor his evening at the Library\, David will be in conversation with Celestine Bohlen\, a former foreign correspondent for The New York Times\, Washington Post and Bloomberg\, who did tours in Moscow\, Rome\, Budapest and Paris.  She now lives in Paris\, where she writes occasionally for The New York Times and teaches at SciencesPo. \n  \n“In Three Asian Divas\, David Chaffetz zeroes in on erasures in the history of these traditions: the brilliant women performers\, virtuoso singers\, and dancers who graced and cut a swath through the opulent courts of Iran\, India\, and China. These were dazzling enough to be able to make their fortunes\, and their own choices\, in cultures where women were subordinate and invisible” (Liz Gray). Celestine will explore with David the themes of tradition and virtuosity\, exploitation and empowerment\, as evidenced in the lives of the divas.
