SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Understanding the War in Iran
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes Williams College Professor Magnús T. Bernhardsson to talk about understanding the current war in Iran in the context of the region’s complex history. What is going on in the Persian Gulf? What should be kept in mind to assess and comprehend the key developments in the Middle East? In this talk\, the key aspects of Iranian history and culture will be highlighted in order to better gain a deeper understanding of how the Islamic Republic of Iran is organized\, how its policies are justified\, and how it views it interests in the region. Given the economic and political stakes in this war and in the region\, the developments in the Persian Gulf impacts us all. Yet all too often over the last 50 years\, Iranian culture and history has been misunderstood or underappreciated\, which has led to serious miscalculations with costly consequences for us all.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Art for the People: From the Southern Vermont Artists to For the Love of Vermont
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy is excited to partner with the Southern Vermont Arts Center and the Manchester Historical Society to present this talk about the extraordinary history of art in our region. Manchester Historical Society curator\, Shawn Harrington traces the evolution of art in Southern Vermont\, from the early Dorset painters of the 1920s to the lasting influence of Bartlett Arkell and the founding of the Southern Vermont Artists.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Prismatic Utopia: Exploring the Uses of Color in Shaker Life
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes multimedia artist Brece Honeycutt whose long-term project\, Prismatic Utopia\, explores the practical\, temporal\, and spiritual uses of color in the Shaker community between 1790 and 1860. Shaker writings carefully documented where color could be used\, who applied it\, and even the paint formulas themselves. Particular attention is given to Prussian blue and chrome yellow\, colors that symbolically linked heaven and utility. This talk suggests that Shaker communities sought to create a physical utopia adorned in color—a true prismatic utopia\, where heaven and earth reflect one another. Registration is $20 per person.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - The Dutch Room Restoration Project
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes Holly Salmon\, the John L. and Susan K. Gardner Director of Conservation at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston\, to talk about the restoration of its Dutch Room gallery.

The comprehensive restoration is addressing everything from terracotta tile floor to the intricately painted 16th century coffered ceiling and many of the works in-between. It is also the room where six of thirteen irreplaceable works of art were stolen in 1990\, leaving behind empty frames and a reminder of the Museum’s unending hope for their return. Join Holly Salmon for a discussion of how she and the conservation team are carrying out this extensive restoration and the discoveries they’ve made along the way. Registration is $20 per person.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Four Rational People
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy is excited to partner with Manchester Music Festival and Southern Vermont Arts Center to present the screening of Four Rational People. Goethe once said that a string quartet is like “a conversation between FOUR RATIONAL PEOPLE\,” and for the members of the Emerson String Quartet\, that conversation is coming to a bittersweet ending as they embark on their final season of a fifty-year history that includes 9 GRAMMY Awards and thousands of concerts. \nInterweaving vivid memories of the Emerson Quartet’s past with delicate observations of life on the road in the weeks and days before disbanding\, Four Rational People explores the group’s difficult decision to walk away from the things that they cherish most in life: the music they play and the friends they hold dear. At once a frank examination of the tyranny of aging and a cri de cœur to pass the torch to a new generation of artists\, Four Rational People culminates with one final Emerson Quartet performance for the ages\, leaving all to ponder what happens to us after the final curtain. Philip Setzer is a member of the Emerson String Quartet and is also the Artistic Director of the Manchester Music Festival. A talk back with Mr. Setzer will follow the screening. \nFor more information to purchase tickets\, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents: REUNION – Ordinary Lives Viewed Up Close
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) is excited to partner with the Southern Vermont Arts Center (SVAC) to present the encore screening of REUNION: Ordinary Lives Viewed Up Close.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - The Art of Corn
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes food scholar and author\, Darra Goldstein\, to talk about The Art of Corn. This program looks at imagery that takes corn as its subject\, in the process showing how corn moves from material to metaphor.

This talk explores the sociocultural meanings of corn as represented in paintings\, photographs\, and other art forms\, including handicrafts like corncob dolls.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents – Lincoln’s Generals’ Wives: Four Women Who Influenced the Civil War – for Better and for Worse
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning welcomes author and historian\, Candice Shy Hooper\, to talk about the wives of Lincoln’s generals. You know the old adage: behind every great man\, there is a great woman\, but as with most things in life\, it’s a lot more complicated than that. Most accounts of American Civil War have largely neglected the extraordinary and influential lives of Jessie Frémont\, Nelly McClellan\, Ellen Sherman\, and Julia Grant\, the wives of Abraham Lincoln’s top generals. They were their husbands’ closest confidantes and had a profound impact on the generals’ ambitions and actions. In Lincoln’s Generals’ Wives: Four Women Who Influenced the Civil War – for Better and for Worse\, Candice Shy Hooper triangulates Lincoln\, his top generals and their wives to show how the wives’ views of Lincoln impacted their husbands\, and ultimately\, the course of the Civil War. One prominent Civil War historian wrote that the book helps us better understand how the generals’ wives “helped shape them into heroes — or failures.” Registration for this program is $20 per person. For more information or to register\, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.

SUMMARY:GMALL Presents - Democracy and Economics: Can Democracies Thrive Without Growth?
DESCRIPTION:Green Mountain Academy welcomes economist\, Peter Radford\, to talk about economics and democracy\, and how the two are inextricably linked. Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf has argued that modern democracy is\, at its core\, a product of sustained economic growth — and that when growth slows\, democracy fades. But is this truly the case? And if so\, what does it mean for the future of the post-industrial West? This discussion untangles the complex ties between economic performance and democratic resilience\, explores whether today’s democracies are at risk\, and considers how they might be reinvented for a digital age. This talk will also be available online via live stream. Registration is $20 per person. For more information or to register\, please call our office at 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.
