Cyprien Gaillard's video revisits the symbolic death of architectural modernism through its depiction of a controlled demolition of a tower block apartment. Gaillard--who grew up in a public housing complex in a Parisian suburb that has suffered considerable ethnically-motivated violence--has referred to such demolitions as large scale state-sponsored vandalism. Gaillard invokes the eviction that occurs to families faced with the razing of such modernist tower block public housing, and also draws attention to the concurrent violent eviction of personal and public memory.

Historian Bob Booth leads a conversation about Salem in the 1820s and why its global trade began to die. Between 1785 and 1825, Salem was America’s greatest seaport, with 200 tall ships and a worldwide trade that made its merchants fabulously wealthy and locally fostered prosperity, growth, and a distinctive culture. How did Salem rise to such global importance, what was it like to live in Salem then, and how and why did it decline so rapidly? This discussion is open to the public and is presented by the Salem History Society. All are welcome!
