Dive into the rich history of lettering, typography and print in Korea from antiquity to the present. We will begin by examining the influence of Chinese calligraphy, Buddhism and the rise of woodblock printing in early Korean print culture, followed by the invention of movable metal type and hangul (the Korean alphabet) during the Joseon dynasty. With the introduction of new print technology from the West and Japan, hangul and print media were quickly embraced by emerging political and social movements to help define notions of independence, democracy and modern identity. Finally, we will explore contemporary examples of Korean calligraphy, type and print design.
Lars Kim is a designer and letterpress printer living in San Francisco. After several years in architecture and new media, she unexpectedly stumbled upon a Heidelberg Windmill and rediscovered the tactile beauty of letterpress. Since then, she has deepened her passion for typography as well as the technical aspects of print and bookbinding, working on a wide range of commercial and private projects. She is a core instructor at the San Francisco Center for the Book and co-founder of Hanji Edition, a limited edition portfolio featuring fine art prints on hanji, Korean handmade paper. Lars also manages production at Logos Graphics and slings both pixels and ink in her freelance practice, Solsken Design.

Door 7 / Show 8 Longevity in music comes through pushing yourself and expanding the possibilities of your sound. This has never been more true for Copeland on their latest effort Blushing, a collection of 11 new tracks that advance and evolve everything the trio of musicians has done up until now. The band, which originally formed in Lakeland, Florida in 2001, has unveiled six albums, spanning from their 2003’s debut Beneath Medicine Tree to 2016’s Ixora. While they began as a rock band, Copeland’s music has explored multiple genres and pulled in various stylistic influences like electronic and symphonic. In the past the musicians have aptly melded these styles, creating a unique amalgam of sounds. This time they wanted to take each sound and style and push it to its logical extreme.

About the Book: The Cuban Missile Crisis defined the presidency of John F. Kennedy. But during the same week that the world stood transfixed by the possibility of nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union, Kennedy was also consumed by a war that has escaped history's attention, yet still significantly reverberates today: the Sino-Indian conflict. As well-armed troops from the People's Republic of China surged into Indian-held territory in October 1962, Kennedy ordered an emergency airlift of supplies to the Indian army. He engaged in diplomatic talks that kept the neighboring Pakistanis out of the fighting. The conflict came to an end with a unilateral Chinese cease-fire, relieving Kennedy of a decision to intervene militarily in support of India. Bruce Riedel, a CIA and National Security Council veteran, provides the first full narrative of this crisis, which played out during the tense negotiations with Moscow over Cuba. He also describes another, nearly forgotten episode of U.S. espionage during the war between India and China: secret U.S. support of Tibetan opposition to Chinese occupation of Tibet. He details how the United States, beginning in 1957, trained and parachuted Tibetan guerrillas into Tibet to fight Chinese military forces. The United States did not abandon this covert support until relations were normalized with China in the 1970s. Riedel tells this story of war, diplomacy, and covert action with authority and perspective. He draws on newly declassified letters between Kennedy and Indian leader Jawaharlal Nehru, along with the diaries and memoirs of key players and other sources, to make this the definitive account of JFK's forgotten crisis. This is, Riedel writes, Kennedy's finest hour as you have never read it before.
About the Author: Bruce Riedel is a senior fellow and director of the Brookings Intelligence Project, part of the Brookings Center for 21st Century Security and Intelligence. In addition, Riedel serves as a senior fellow in the Center for Middle East Policy. He retired in 2006 after 30 years of service at the Central Intelligence Agency, including postings overseas. He was a senior advisor on South Asia and the Middle East to the last four presidents of the United States in the staff of the National Security Council at the White House. He was also deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Near East and South Asia at the Pentagon and a senior advisor at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in Brussels. Riedel was a member of President Bill Clinton’s peace process team and negotiated at Camp David and other Arab-Israeli summits and he organized Clinton’s trip to India in 2000. In January 2009, President Barack Obama asked him to chair a review of American policy towards Afghanistan and Pakistan, the results of which the president announced in a speech on March 27, 2009. Riedel is a graduate of Brown (B.A.), Harvard (M.A.), and the Royal College of Defense Studies in London. He has taught at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and Johns Hopkins University’s School for Advanced International Studies, and he has been a guest lecturer at Dartmouth, Harvard, Brown, and other universities. Riedel is a recipient of the Intelligence Medal of Merit and the Distinguished Intelligence Career Medal. In 2011, Riedel served as an expert advisor to the prosecution of al Qaeda terrorist Omar Farooq Abdulmutallab in Detroit. In December 2011, Prime Minister David Cameron asked him to brief the United Kingdom’s National Security Council in London on Pakistan.

Join us for a traditional Japanese tea ceremony!
Chado, or the Way of Tea, is one of the most ancient and revered arts of Japan, and is at the very heart of Japan House. Come to a traditional Japanese tea ceremony to learn about Japan House on the campus of the University of Illinois, and the history of this 500 year old art form. Watch as the host carefully and thoughtfully prepares each piece of equipment so you can thoroughly enjoy a bowl of matcha tea and seasonal wagashi, a traditional Japanese sweet. Tea ceremonies in February and March will feature a special handmade wagashi, using recipes from our upcoming cookbook "The Art of Wagashi: Recipes for Japanese Sweets that Delight the Palate and the Eyes" written by Japan House founder Kimiko Gunji. The cookbook will be featured, and available for purchase at our Spring Open House on April 6th. Feb 6 - Kangori Feb 20 - Kintsubayaki
Experience a moment of peace. You will be asked to remove your shoes (or use shoe covers) when you enter, and to wear white socks (we have some to lend you if you forget). We also ask that legs be covered as is traditional in Japan. You will be kneeling or sitting on the tatami mats, but if that is a problem we can easily pull a chair up to the tea room for you, and you still still be at the same height as the other participants. Space is limited to 20 guests. Reservations are recommended.

This lecture seeks a common foundation for interreligious dialogue, especially in Asia. The first part reviews the six attempts at articulating a common foundation for dialogue among religions, namely, church, Christ, God, reign of God, the Holy Spirit, and indigenous religions. While all of these foundations have advantages, they also hamper real interreligious dialogue as a genuine interaction among believers of different religions productive of shared life, collaboration for the common good, advancement toward a deeper understanding, and shared spirituality. The second part elaborates an Asian “pneumatology,” or more precisely an understanding of God as Spirit who manifests Godself in many different “spirits” drawing on some documents of the Federation of The Asian Bishops’ Conferences. The concluding part seeks to relate this concept of God as Spirit to the concept of Qi. A response to Dr. Phan’s lecture will be made by Dr. Susan Abraham, Professor of Theology and Postcolonial Cultures, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean at PSR.

Reshma McClintock is an international adoptee from Calcutta, India. In 2015 she returned to the city of her birth as the Subject of the film, Calcutta is My Mother; her documentary is expected to premiere in 2019. Reshma is the founder of DearAdoption.com; a website sharing adoptees personal lived experiences. DA has proven to be an invaluable platform and resource. Reshma is an avid adoptee advocate, writer, and speaker; she has spoken at several conferences and has written multiple adoption-related articles. She enjoys life in Seattle, Washington with her husband and daughter. https://dearadoption.com Rhonda Churchill, formerly known as, Baby Girl Gafford was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Rhonda lives outside Tulsa and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She has worked with adoptees and their families for over 30 years, specializing in the treatment of adoption and attachment issues. In 1981 she began a search for her biological grandfather; a search that would span 30 years and over 4,500 miles, from Oklahoma City to London. In 2013 Rhonda penned The Fifth and Final Name: Memoir of An American Churchill, a finalist in the Oklahoma Center for The Book Awards.
Entertainment Documentary: Calcutta is My Mother By Reshma McClintock My struggle, as an adoptee, has never been in feeling displaced within my own family or in finding difficulty connecting with loved ones. My struggle has been in feeling caught between two worlds. While my nationality is Indian, I am very unfamiliar with Indian culture. I have had a growing desire to nurture that undiscovered part of me and understand it better. Within my family, I know exactly who I am; I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother but beyond that, there is a large part of myself with which I am unfamiliar. When I was approached and asked to have my first return to Calcutta documented, I knew it would be an incredible opportunity to speak on behalf of many international adoptees who also have a need to connect to their culture. I will now have the privilege to really unearth the heritage within me, so I may embrace it more fully. Calcutta is My Mother will document my first return to the place where my life began; my first real view of what my biological mother endured and what my life could have been. It will be an examination of a culture to which I have no connection. Below is a link to the trailer for Calcutta is My Mother. I hope this is something you choose to be a part of so that, together, we can open doors for other adoptees whose feelings mirror mine. https://vimeo.com/168535931

Entertainment Documentary: Calcutta is My Mother
By Reshma McClintock My struggle, as an adoptee, has never been in feeling displaced within my own family or in finding difficulty connecting with loved ones. My struggle has been in feeling caught between two worlds. While my nationality is Indian, I am very unfamiliar with Indian culture. I have had a growing desire to nurture that undiscovered part of me and understand it better. Within my family, I know exactly who I am; I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother but beyond that, there is a large part of myself with which I am unfamiliar. Calcutta is My Mother will document my first return to the place where my life began; my first real view of what my biological mother endured and what my life could have been. It will be an examination of a culture to which I have no connection. Below is a link to the trailer for Calcutta is My Mother. I hope this is something you choose to be a part of so that, together, we can open doors for other adoptees whose feelings mirror mine. https://vimeo.com/168535931

This traditional ceremony of preparing tea means pouring all of one's attention into the predefined movements. The event will include a demonstration of Japanese Tea ceremony with a tasting of matcha. A scone and a house blend tea will also be served at the end of the event.
BIO -
Tsubasa was founded to promote and to preserve Japanese culture in Los Angeles by offering traditional tea ceremony and kimono services.

Farm-to-KITCHEN Cooking Class: Flavors from the Szechuan Region of China Presented by The Trustees Looking to spice up your cooking skills this spring? Let Chef Alexis take you on a journey through the ancient region of Szechuan in China, where she recently spent a month exploring the local cuisine and discovering new recipes and techniques. Szechuan cuisine is known for intense flavor and spice, and using garlic, onion and chili peppers to kick it up a notch - prepare yourself for a flavor explosion! In this lively, hands-on cooking class you’ll learn how to utilize the produce and products of the farmers and artisans of the Boston Public Market. Guided by Chef Alexis you’ll create an exciting multi-course meal based on seasonal, local food, and increase your comfort in the kitchen through new knife skills, techniques, and flavor profiles. Come ready to roll up your sleeves and get cooking! The majority of ingredients for the day’s cooking and baking will be straight from The Boston Public Market, proving you can buy local, eat local and still achieve international flavors. In addition to learning a new cooking style, you'll enjoy tastes of three local New England wines that pair perfectly with recipes we’ll be making, courtesy of The Massachusetts Wine Shop.

Leading China environmental expert Barbara Finamore, who is the Senior Strategic Director, Asia at the Natural Resources Defense Council, explains the fundamental economic and political challenges and incentives for China to transition into a low-carbon energy future. GPS Professor David Victor will moderate this discussion. Co-sponsored by the UC San Diego Deep Decarbonization Initiative. Location: School of Global Policy and Strategy Robinson Auditorium (directions). Closest parking will be at the Pangea Parking Structure (Pangea Drive at N. Torrey Pines Rd.)

Explorers Club Public Lecture Series with Sam Mehta During the last ice age, the sea level was low enough to expose Japan, Korea and China as a part of the single landmass. The story of these East Asian countries has been interlinked ever since. China of course is the largest and had the most influence on Japan and Korea. The Chinese-influenced cultures have evolved differently based on their unique geography, history and culture. However, they are many similarities, thus appropriately the three great economies of Japan, Korea and China are often referred to as a trilogy of nations.Throughout the history of Japan, Korea and China, a cultural legacy of Confucianism was infused into each country’s respective societies and had a profound effect on all aspects of life. Buddhism spread from China to Korea and Japan that helped shape spiritual codes of the societies. Contacts with European traders and missionaries shaped developments in the later centuries leading to a dramatic period of WWII. Since then the three great nations have chosen to shed feudal or imperial systems of government and experimented with communism or capitalism. Japan, Korea and China represent three good examples of modern economic miracles that have lifted millions of people out of poverty. However, they all have unique challenges as the 21st century unfolds and are pursuing different course for continued prosperity.Sam Mehta’s presentation will take a deeper view of Japan. Japan’s influence from the Mainland China shaped foundations of the Japanese culture. However, because of Japan’s relative isolation of the archipelago gave rise a very distinct character found nowhere else in the region. Japan’s history is marked by an alternating period isolation from and connection with the neighbors with dramatic transformation of nation after WW II. Sam Mehta aims to show through his lens and narration, the character of this cultural Galapagos full of contracts between modern and traditional. Sam hopes to present diversity of Japanese landscapes, sites, architecture, arts and crafts, costumes, tea ceremony, exotic foods, pop culture, festivals and lingering legacy of Shintoism, Buddhism and Confucianism that continue to shape the Japanese way of life.Through his images and words Sam will attempt to share fascinating people and places of Japan and highlight cultural elements that bind the trilogy together and self-interests and contractions that pull them apart. Sam will paint the state of current affairs. Japan is facing an aging and a declining population over the next few decades. Sam will share his views on Japan’s other key challenges ahead as the 21st century unfolds. Japan is nation in search of a new path since its progress is at standstill for the last two decades.There are lesson to be learned from the West and West too has lessons to learn from Japan’s experiences. The story of Japan has implications of all with accelerating forces of globalization and mind-blowing technological changes and that is why this presentation is relevant for all. Sam Mehta is a retired corporate executive with a life-long passion for exploration, photography, outdoors and adventure travels. He has travelled the world to many exotic destinations.

He will highlight the elements that bind them together and the self-interest and individualities that pull them apart. In the narration, he will depict the current state of affairs in these countries and shares his views on the differing challenges ahead. Japan is a nation in search of a new path since its economic progress has been stagnant for the past two decades. South Korea is at a crossroads, having to chart a course that continues prosperity yet avoids the social and economic factors that beleaguer Japan. China continues its rapid growth, while trying to expand the consumer side of its economy and its military power. Despite slower growth, Japan, Korea, and China are experiencing a steady improvement in Human Development Index. They continue to be on the leading edge of creativity and innovation. The vibrancy observed everywhere in the region surely validates the argument that GDP may no longer be the only way to measure growth. There are lessons to be learned from the West, and the West, too, has lessons to learn from East Asia’s experiences with the accelerating forces of globalization and staggering technological change. This lecture is thus relevant for all. Suresh (Sam) Mehta is a retired corporate executive with a life-long passion for photography, history, and adventure travel.

Background Information For over 400 years, more than 15 million men, women and children were the victims of the tragic transatlantic slave trade, one of the darkest chapters in human history. Slavery and the transatlantic slave trade were appalling tragedies in the history of humanity because of their abhorrent barbarism and their magnitude, organized nature and their negation of the essence of the victims. It is almost universally acknowledged that slavery and the slave trade are crimes against humanity – and always should have been recognized as such. Slavery and the transatlantic slave trade are among the major sources and manifestations of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance that Africans and people of African descent, Asians and people of Asian descent and Indigenous/Native peoples were victims of these acts and continue to be victims of their consequences. Every year, on March 25th, the United Nations International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade offers an opportunity to honor and remember those who suffered and died at the hands of the brutal slavery system. The International Day also aims to raise awareness about the dangers of racism and prejudice today.

GRADUATE LECTURE SERIESBetti-Sue Hertz: Aesthetics and Ecological Activism in Chinese Contemporary Art Chinese conceptual artists forging new strategies at the intersection of aesthetics and ecological activism are exposing urgent dilemmas affecting the earth’s health as a foundation for humanity’s own survival. Working against the background of a rapidly changing landscape, they express environmental consciousness through engaging with contemporary theories of post-nature and historical notions of nature as a space for contemplation. How can art as a cultural endeavor provide meaningful expressions for representing humanity as being inside of nature? Betti-Sue Hertz is a curator, writer and educator. She is currently developing a public art program for Shishan Park, Suzhou, China; and was curator in residence at HOW Art Museum, Shanghai in 2018. Hertz was director of visual arts, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, (2008-2015) and curator of contemporary art, San Diego Museum of Art (2000-2008). She has been adjunct faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute since 2011; and lecturer at Stanford University and UC Berkeley.

Presented by Harold E. Sweetman, Ph.D., Executive Director, Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. Join Harold Sweetman for his final lecture before retiring after 33 years as Executive Director of Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. This colorful lecture highlights many remarkable plant discoveries. With an eye toward the botanical, you will visit some of the most remote regions in the world. Dr. Sweetman’s first expedition was to Yunnan, China on the border with Tibet in 1993, with trips over the following years to Arunachal Pradesh, India, Chile, Panama, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, and even the US. Historically, exotic travel and plant exploration was for the elite and the wealthiest plant collectors. Today, if you are intrepid and armed with your camera, you can still discover rare glimpses of the rich global diversity of plants, peoples, and local cultures that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. “This armchair adventure travel experience is much preferred to the leech infested forests of Arunachal Pradesh, India where there are 72 different species of leeches or the incessant winds of Patagonia, or breathless botanizing at 14,000 ft. elevations, or the Atacama Desert - driest place on earth, stark and lifeless.” says Dr. Sweetman. Free of charge. All are welcome. Pre-registration is encouraged.

Found In Translation is a series of three public events co-curated by Richard Newman in March-May 2019 at the Lewis Latimer House Museum (LLHM) that explores humanities topics and cultural themes of the Spanish, Chinese, and Korean communities and their diasporas. It brings published translators working in the three most common non-English languages spoken in Flushing, Queens to lead readings and discussions with the public. The translators and facilitator will use the selected books to connect to history or current affairs where those languages are spoken and engage the audience in conversations. Topics that the selected works will touch on include "home", "migration", and "gentrification".

Half Japanese with Danielson at (le) poisson rouge 6:30pm doors | 7:30pm show | 18+ $20 advance | $25 day of show
Depending on your point of view, Half Japanese is either a celebration of the pure, amateurish, do-it-yourself rock & roll spirit or a pretentious, highly irritating example of noisy, self-conscious experimental rock at its most extreme. Formed by Jad and David Fair in 1977, the group started bashing out music in their parents' basement in Maryland, recording their debut EP by themselves. By the time Half Japanese recorded their debut album, the three-record box set 1/2 Gentlemen/Not Beasts, they had acquired a full-time drummer plus a saxophonist, yet their music was no less noisy and primitive; if anything, it was more atonal and difficult than before. For the rest of their career, the band has proudly displayed nothing approaching instrumental virtuosity. David Fair left the band after their third record, rejoining briefly for 1988's Charmed Life. Throughout the years, the lineup has changed frequently - at times it has included Velvet Underground drummer Maureen Tucker and guitarist Don Fleming, as well as occasional contributions from Fred Frith and John Zorn - but Jad Fair has remained. That doesn't necessarily mean the music hasn't changed; their later records are slightly more musically varied and accessible, yet no less challenging. Fair has released a few solo albums that are stranger (believe it or not) than the typical Half Japaneserelease

UPDATE: Both the 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. tours have reached full capacity. Should additional tickets become available, they will be released on Eventbrite and an announcement will be made in our newsletter. Following the passage of the 1882 Exclusion Acts, thousands of Chinese Americans moved to New York City to escape the increase of racist violence sweeping the nation. Once here, they formed new organizations to defend their rights and assert their interests. While most of this took place in what would become Chinatown, Greenwich Village was also a center for Chinese American organizing in the late 1800s. Join A/P/A Institute at NYU Visiting Scholar Dylan Yeats for a guided tour of sites between Washington Square and Cooper Square, where Chinese American immigrant-rights activists lived and worked 130 years ago, and learn how their victories and defeats continue to resonate today. This hour-long outdoor accessible tour will begin at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU (8 Washington Mews), and will be offered at 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. “Fighting Anti-Asian Discrimination in Nineteenth Century Greenwich Village: A Guided Tour” is a program celebrating the Greenwich Village Historic District Fiftieth Anniversary with the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. Note on accessibility: The meeting point is accessible via elevator. Restrooms are single-stalled, and all gender. The hour-long outdoor tour is accessible and fully outdoors. Dylan Yeats holds a doctorate in US History from NYU. His work focuses on how the politics of “culture war” have shaped Americans’ understandings of race, gender, and religion from the colonial period to the present day. Yeats co-edited Yellow Peril! An Archive of Anti-Asian Fear (Verso Press, 2014) with John Kuo Wei Tchen, and is currently working on a book, based on his dissertation, about how religious conflict between Protestant sects in the early nineteenth century shaped the very foundations of US political culture and practice. Yeats is a committed public historian and trained archivist. He has curated and consulted on numerous exhibits and public memory projects in New York City, where he also gives occasional walking tours as a licensed sightseeing guide.

Introduction to Chinese Brush Painting Instructor: Gail Threinen TWO DAY Workshop: Saturday, April 27 & Sunday, April 28 (9 am-3 pm) This two-day workshop will introduce the student to the differences between Chinese brush painting and other watercolor forms of painting. Using the LOTUS FLOWER as a subject during the two days, Gail will teach the use of Chinese brushes, ink and Chinese colors to create beautiful effects on rice paper. Gail works in what is called the "xieyi" style, which is loose, spontaneous, whimsical, and a lot of fun. The first day will focus on handling the brush and ink using lively brushstrokes on the absorbent handmade paper. The second day will focus more on composition, adding the use of color, and stressing the beautiful simplicity, or less-is-more style of painting. Gail stresses that you cannot go out to your local art store and purchase Chinese art materials. Whenever she buys supplies for herself, she buys extra and will bring everything you need to class for you to purchase. Plan to spend around $40 on supplies, bring cash or checks. She will also bring items that you can borrow and she will supply paper. Be advised that regular watercolor brushes do not work for Chinese Brush Painting---however you can use Chinese brushes for regular watercolor painting. Do bring: Containers for water for brush-washing, a small roll of paper towels, three or four white glass or porcelain dinner plates to use as pallets (Goodwill is great for these), an apron or wear old clothes because the ink we use is permanent, a piece of white felt or wool roughly 30" x 30" to put under your paper while you paint (also think Goodwill for an old white blanket).

Tea-Time: Early Chinese Export Teapots A Chinese export teapot is not just a teapot. It is more—a vessel which holds surprises for those who know how to interpret them. Shirley M. Mueller, M.D. shares her discoveries about these teapots with us on April 29, 2019 at the UC Davis Memorial Union, Room 212 (Garrison Room) from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. She will reveal the struggle involved to transform a Chinese teapot into a teapot suitable for Western taste, one that took two centuries. Included in the presentation will be the information needed to date these teapots more accurately. About Shirley M. Mueller Shirley M. Mueller, M.D. has written a number of scholarly papers about Chinese export teapots. This led to invitations to speak about this subject to the American Ceramic Circle, the Oriental Society of London and at Nanchang University in Nanchang, China at the invitation of the Chinese government. Dr. Mueller was co-curator for an exhibit, "The Luxury of Tea and Coffee" at the Indianapolis Art Museum (now Newfields) which ran for six years (2011-2017). A brief video summarizing the exhibit can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baoaJ5TJc_k&t=2s. Mueller’s book, Inside the Head of a Collector: Neuropsychological Forces at Play, will be available in late summer, 2019.

The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China?
Nicholas Lardy from Peterson Institute for International Economics in conversation with Andy Rothman from Matthews Asia
Tuesday, April 30, 2019, 12-2 pm (11:45 am registration, 12:00 pm luncheon) at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, 101 Market St., San Francisco, CA 94105
Discussion: In his new book, The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China?, Nicholas Lardy concludes that China’s economic slowdown is largely the result of a return to state control of the economy and the burgeoning misallocation of resources by China’s financial sector. Defying conventional economic wisdom that such a slowdown is inevitable, Lardy analyzes new data to argue that China’s future growth prospects could be as bright as its extraordinary ride of the past 30 years. However, China’s leadership has consistently championed state-owned enterprises, and encouraged local political leaders and financial institutions to prop up ailing, underperforming companies. This top-down pressure constitutes a major drag on China’s economic potential while at the same time squeezing out private enterprises. According to Lardy, if China’s leadership continues to pursue greater economic and political control, China’s growth would slow further. Alternatively, a return to market-oriented reforms could help the nation achieve higher growth for the next two decades.
About the Speakers: Nicholas R. Lardy is the Anthony M. Solomon Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. He joined the Institute in March 2003 from the Brookings Institution, where he was a senior fellow from 1995 until 2003. Before Brookings, he served at the University of Washington, where he was the director of the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies from 1991 to 1995. From 1997 through the spring of 2000, he was also the Frederick Frank Adjunct Professor of International Trade and Finance at the Yale University School of Management. He is an expert on the Chinese economy. Lardy's most recent books are The State Strikes Back: The End of Economic Reform in China?(2019), Markets over Mao: The Rise of Private Business in China (2014), Sustaining China's Economic Growth after the Global Financial Crisis (2012), The Future of China's Exchange Rate Policy (2009), and China's Rise: Challenges and Opportunities (2008). He received his BA from the University of Wisconsin in 1968 and his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1975, both in economics.
Andy Rothman is an Investment Strategist at Matthews Asia. He is principally responsible for developing research focused on China’s ongoing economic and political developments while also complementing the broader investment team with in-depth analysis on Asia. In addition, Andy plays a key role in communicating to clients and the media the firm’s perspectives and latest insights into China and the greater Asia region. Prior to joining Matthews Asia in 2014, Andy spent 14 years as CLSA’s China macroeconomic strategist where he conducted analysis into China and delivered his insights to their clients. Previously, Andy spent 17 years in the U.S. Foreign Service, with a diplomatic career focused on China, including as head of the macroeconomics and domestic policy office of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. In total, Andy has lived and worked in China for more than 20 years. He earned an M.A. in public administration from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and a B.A. from Colgate University.

Exhibition Opening for Harbin, China|PAST/PRESENT

Like the Eldridge Street Synagogue, a grand synagogue stands in Harbin, China that serves as a museum and a relic of a time when it was the center of a flourishing Jewish community. And much like the Lower East Side, many of Harbin's Jews eventually left the home they had created there. In this exhibition, Harbin’s Jewish past is presented in historic photographs and personal stories. In the 1890s, emerging industries turned the small fishing village in northeastern China into a thriving city, shaped by the interaction of Jews, Russians, Chinese and Japanese. But by the early 1960s, the last Jewish families had left Harbin, leaving behind synagogues, schools, a hospital and more as they immigrated to the United States, Israel and elsewhere. Today, as a new appreciation for this history is spurring restoration and commemoration, Steven Lane, an American artist with deep roots in China, visits Harbin annually and uses these spaces as his studio to create art with materials he finds there. His photographs and artwork are presented as contemplations on Harbin’s present and its unique place in Jewish history. This evening reception will mark the opening of the exhibition, and include remarks from Steven Lane and exhibition curator.
