Is this fascism? And what can we do about it? A free and open community discussion on the difference between consent and obedience under tyranny. We will be discussing Hannah Arendt’s 1964 text "Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship" presented by Eric Levi Jacobson of the Vermont Center for Social Research.

Flying Pig Bookstore is proud to present two award-winning authors in conversation at the Shelburne Town Hall. This promises to be a fascinating discussion with very accomplished authors. Books will be available to purchase for signing at the event.

Filmmakers have tackled issues of displacement, discrimination, exploitation, and assimilation in movies like Mississippi Masala (about Indians in the Deep South), The Other Side of Hope (Syrians in Finland) and Dirty Pretty Things (West Africans in London). Film history expert Rick Winston shares clips from fifteen works that address one of the most pressing issues of our times.

Rick has taught film history at Burlington College, Community College of Vermont, Goddard College, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and has been a popular presenter at the Athenaeum and throughout the state.

This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.

“How the Earth Rides the Solar Wind”

Presenters: James Slinkman and Josh Kuckens

ABSTRACT: We will explore how the Earth’s magnetic field protects us from dangerous high energy particle radiation which is carried to Earth from the Sun by the “Solar Wind”. We’ll explore how this reaction manifests itself via the generation of beautiful visible Aurora (aka the “Northern Lights”) in the Earth’s atmosphere. The key quantum mechanisms which are involved are briefly described. Images and videos of many of the phenomena, including the recent Vermont Aurora will figure prominently in the presentation.

Talk by Lauren Hierl and Jon Groveman, Directors at Vermont Natural Resources Council

In 1984, Arn became the first Cambodian child soldier to speak publicly about the atrocities of the Cambodian genocide, delivering a speech to 10,000 people at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. He went on to found Children of War, an organization that brought together child survivors to share their stories of survival and hope. Since then, Arn has continued to lead talks and workshops at conferences, universities, and high schools around the world, inspiring others through his story of resilience and healing through music.

A genocide survivor, Arn escaped from a child labor camp and fled to refugee camps along the Thai border. He was among the first Cambodian child refugees adopted by an American, who brought him and eight other children to the U.S. to live and study. In 1998, Arn returned to Cambodia and founded Cambodian Living Arts (CLA), which worked to preserve and revitalize traditional performing arts during its first decade. Today, CLA is a catalyst for Cambodia’s vibrant arts sector, inspiring the next generation.

Arn is also a resident of Putney, Vermont, thanks to a deep connection with entrepreneur and philanthropist John Burt, with whom he co-founded Cambodian Living Arts. Of Arn’s return to his “hometown,” John said: “Welcoming Arn back to his New England home is such an honor and always an inspiration. He never strays from areas of conflict, exploring how music and the arts can awaken the soul to enduring peace. His music always guides him home.”

Arn has received numerous international honors, including the Reebok Human Rights Award (1988), the Amnesty International Human Rights Award (1991), the Kohl Foundation International Peace Prize (1993), and the Spirit of Anne Frank Outstanding Citizen Award (1996).

As part of Next Stage’s 15th anniversary celebration, two of its founders, John Burt and Billy Straus, will be honored at this event.

This is an annual event, always associated with the Land, Light, Water & Air exhibit, which is the only one for which the Gallery presents awards. The Roundtable artists were all recognized this year for their excellence in painting.

The Roundtable presents an opportunity to learn from the artists themselves as they discuss their individual approaches to their work, their inspirations, key techniques and even favorite materials.

The Roundtable discussion is free and open to the public. No reservation is required. All are welcome to attend.

A Q&A with the artists follows the discussion.

Join Vermont River Conservancy for the first of three 30th Anniversary Virtual River Tours as we welcome award winning author and photographer Tim Palmer to virtually present stunning photos and poignant stories alongside his new book, Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis.

With graphic photos and engaging narrative, Tim will share how the nation’s efforts to control floods through dam and levee construction have been, at best, inadequate, and how the endless cycle of floods, damage, recovery, and repeated losses can best be ended through the protection of open space on floodplains and through voluntary relocation of homes and businesses from hazard-prone areas. He’ll show how the warming climate is making flood dangers worse, and how an improved response is essential if widespread disasters are to be avoided in the future.

Talk by Tinotenda Rutanhira, Executive Director, Business Development, and Co-founder of Vermont Professionals of Color.

If you like fast-paced, edgy one-liners then get ready to be happy. Jimmy Carr is going back on tour with his brand-new show ‘Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny’.

Jimmy tells jokes, and jokes are like magnets.
Jokes attract people, but they can also repel.
Some people are repelled by Jimmy's dark brand of comedy. This show is not for them.
But if it's the kind of thing you like, then this is the kind of thing you’ll like.
