SUMMARY:[FULL] Evenings with an Author: Emilio Williams [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:This event is now full\, thank you for your understanding. A recording will be released in our Podcast series\, “Evenings with an Author.” \n*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement. Our events will continue to be free and open to the public\, via Zoom. We have moved the events up\, to begin at 17h00 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \n\nEmilio Williams presents\n“Empty Streets\, Busy Lives:\nA surprising historical tour of le Septième through the iconic photos of Eugène Atget (1857–1927)”\n\nA century ago\, ex-pat American photographers Man Ray and Berenice Abbott discovered a treasure trove of photos that an unknown commercial photographer\, Eugène Atget\, had taken of the empty streets of Old Paris. The surrealists became enthralled by his uncanny and eerie images\, now regarded as the foundational masterpieces of street photography. During his research on the history of 7th arrondissement\, Emilio found an album of forgotten photos of the district taken by Atget. For his lecture\, Emilio has combined those rarely seen photos with surprising discoveries of the colorful figures who lived in the neighborhood and walked the streets around the American Library in Paris.\n\nEmilio Williams divides his time between Paris and Chicago\, where he is a playwright resident and faculty member at Chicago Dramatists. This fall he will be teaching at Columbia College\, Dominican University\, and Georgia State University. He is currently working on a non-fiction book about the forgotten stories of the 7th arrondissement in the Parisian Left Bank. His award-winning theater plays have been produced and published internationally to much critical acclaim. In his previous life as a journalist\, he worked for CNN in Atlanta and Washington DC.\n\n\nPhoto: “Fontaine de Mars” Eugène Atget\, 1903.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Visiting Fellow Mark Braude [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement. Our events will continue to be free and open to the public\, via Zoom (please RSVP here to receive meeting details and password). We have moved the events up\, to begin at 17h00 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nPlease join us for a discussion with author and American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow Mark Braude about his recent book\, The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba from Exile to Escape\,  a “coup de coeur” for the 2019 American Library in Paris Book Award and a community favorite. \nAs many of us continue to follow confinement or quarantine measures in the fight against covid-19\, themes of exile\, banishment\, and separation are at the forefront of our minds. Indeed\, Mark’s interest in Napoleon stems from this very specific experience of his off the main stage of Europe in 1814-15. In finding a novel approach to a larger than life personality\, Mark gives us something unexpected and fresh–he takes us far beyond those chapters of Napoleon’s life that have received extensive treatment and analysis. In our discussion\, Mark will tell us more about his research and findings\, and provide his reflections on how exile affected one of the most famous historical figures of all time\, reminding us that despite having lived an extraordinary life\, Napoleon was\, after all\, a human being who often found himself separated from or at the mercy of others\, as was the case during his exile on Elba. \nMark was selected as an American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow for Spring 2020. Though Mark was unable to join us at the Library in May 2020 as originally planned\, we look forward to welcoming him sometime in 2020-21\, during which time he will write\, research\, and engage further with our community by offering another lecture as well as a workshop. \nMARK BRAUDE is the author of The Invisible Emperor: Napoleon on Elba From Exile to Escape and Making Monte Carlo: A History of Speculation and Spectacle. He is currently at work on a book of narrative nonfiction about the French artist and model Kiki de Montparnasse\, focusing on her professional and romantic entanglement with the American photographer Man Ray in 1920s Paris\, to be published by W.W. Norton.

SUMMARY:Teen Lit Taboo (ages 12-18) [VIRTUAL - RSVP REQUIRED]
DESCRIPTION:Show off your fabulous memory of all things related to teen literature by competing in an evening of this custom made guessing game!\n \n  \n \nYou will be placed in teams before the event\, and you’ll work in groups to compete in a Teen Lit Trivia game specially created by Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager Celeste Rhoads and Children’s and Teens’ Services Librarian Kirsty McCulloch Reid. Check out the game Taboo\, which inspired this event. \n  \nThis game will be played much like the Taboo game from Hasbro. The objective of the game is for a player to have their team members guess the word on the player’s card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card. All game cards will feature characters\, settings and themes from YA literature. This event will take place virtually via Zoom\, and participants will need to have microphones and video enabled. Cards will be sent via the chat box. We’ve tested this. It works. \n  \nThe object of the game is for a player to have their partners/team members guess the word on their card without using the word itself or any of the six additional words listed on the card. Players should be timed so that each person has 1 or 2 minutes to get their team members to guess the words on as many cards as possible. The team to reach a defined score first wins (i.e.: first player to reach 25 points). \n  \nPrizes will be available for pickup at the Library following the event for all participants. \n  \nAdvance registration is required for Teen Nights (sign-up HERE for Teen Lit Taboo). Send an email to Celeste\, our Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager\, with questions about events and collections for ages 0-18: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org. Participation in teen events is free for Library members and 10€ for non-members.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Traci Brimhall [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement. Our events will continue to be free and open to the public\, via Zoom (please RSVP here to receive meeting details and password). We have moved the events up\, to begin at 17h00 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nJoin us for an evening of reading and discussion with poet and essayist Traci Brimhall. We will hear Traci read from her new essay “The Grief Artist” about the role of creativity and grief\, as well as discuss the work she is doing now researching creativity in epidemics. She lives 20 miles from the source of the 1918 flu outbreak and is looking at both the art produced at that time\, as well as what it means to grieve long distance. An audience Q&A will follow. \nIn “The Grief Artist\,” Traci braids several narratives that explore the relationship of the creative process to the grief processes of both death and divorce. She traces lost love letters she finds in a used book and ties them to the end of her marriage; examines the year she spent making hospice blankets after her mother’s death; and interviews a woman who used flowers from her mother’s funeral to make art for 100 days. In each of these Traci asks how art can help us grieve in a culture that no longer has public bereavement rituals and how the creative process can possibly even help us with the physical aspects of grief. \nTraci Brimhall is the author of four books: Come the Slumberless from the Land of Nod (Copper Canyon); Saudade (Copper Canyon); Our Lady of the Ruins (W.W. Norton)\, winner of the Barnard Women Poets Prize; and Rookery (Southern Illinois University Press)\, winner of the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry First Book Award. Her poems have appeared in The New Yorker\, Poetry\, The Believer\, The New Republic\, Orion\, and Best American Poetry. Her essays have appeared in Georgia Review\, Southern Review\, New England Review\, Brevity\, and cited as notable in several editions of Best American Essays.  She’s received fellowships from the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing and the National Endowment for the Arts.  She’s the Director of Creative Writing at Kansas State University and lives in Manhattan\, KS. \n

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Anissa Bouziane [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:[Registration CLOSED] \n*Covid-19 Update: Although our physical space has temporarily closed\, the Library will continue with its Evening with an Author programming during the period of confinement.

Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nPlease join us for an informal conversation with author Anissa M. Bouziane. Anissa was born in Tennessee\, daughter of a Moroccan father and a French mother.  She grew up in Morocco\, but returned to the US to attend Wellesley College\, and went on to earn an MFA in fiction writing from Columbia University. Her debut novel\, Dune Song\, is rooted in her experience of witnessing the collapse of the Twin Towers. She now works and teaches in Paris. \n“I came to the Sahara to be buried.” \nAfter witnessing the collapse of the World Trade Center\, Jeehan Nathaar leaves her New York life with her sense of identity fractured and her American dream destroyed. She returns to Morocco to make her home with a family that’s not her own. Healed by their kindness but caught up in their troubles\, Jeehan struggles to move beyond the pain and confusion of September 11th. On this desiccated landscape\, thousands of miles from Ground Zero\, the Dune sings of death\, love\, and forgiveness. \n

SUMMARY:[FULL] A Virtual Movement Workshop with Hiie Saumaa [Free to members; registration required]
DESCRIPTION:*This workshop has filled and the sign up link has been removed. If you signed up\, your response has been recorded and you can expect a confirmation email by Monday 6 April. If you hoped to sign up but were not able to before the offering filled\, please stay tuned for other virtual programming possibilities. We will not open a waitlist for this workshop. Thank you!*\nWe are pleased to be offering our first virtual movement workshop for adults! This workshop will be held on Thursday 16 April from 17h-19h and will be free and open to Library members. Space is limited and advance registration is required.\nJoy of Movement\nIn this workshop\, we learn to connect to our home\, the body\, through movement. The class is based on Nia dance\, a technique developed in the US in the 1980s. This method blends movements from dance arts\, martial arts\, and healing practices. We use simple choreography and free dance. In Nia\, as in any somatic method\, the focus is always on how you feel when you move and on finding comfort\, energy\, ease\, and support through movement. No previous dance experience is necessary; all ages can participate (though this workshop is intended primarily for adults). We dance barefoot and in comfortable exercise clothes. I hope the class will give you energy\, joy\, calm\, and a sense of healing. \n  \nHiie Saumaa (Ph.D\, Columbia) is a somatic dance educator\, writer\, and scholar. She teaches classes and workshops in mind-body movement techniques (Nia dance\, BodyLogos\, JourneyDance) and writes about dance\, health\, and the creative process. She has taught movement in the US\, Estonia\, France\, and Romania. Hiie writes a regular column for the Journal of Alternative & Complementary Therapies and her articles have appeared in international peer-reviewed dance journals. She is currently finishing a book on the artistry of Jerome Robbins. In 2018-19\, she was an inaugural fellow at Columbia’s Institute for Ideas & Imagination in Paris and an artist in residence at the Cite Internationale des Arts. She has taught at Columbia University\, New York University\, the University of Tennessee\, and Paris College of Art.

We will lead you in songs such as Train is a Coming\, If I Had a Rooster\, and more during this virtual sing-along session. Plan to join in\, sing along\, and move around\, as you would do in one of our in-person events. If you join in this virtual session with your child\, it will be as important as ever to model movement and song for your children. Adults are welcome.\n\n\nVolunteer host Emily Bonn will be ready for you by 10h15. You can join at anytime after 10h15 on Tuesday 20 March via Zoom.
