This was especially true for women in the heyday of the studio system\, a period from the 1920s to the 1950s when a small number of companies dominated the production and distribution of films in America. It was an industry controlled by male studio executives\, in which directors and producers called the shots and contract players had little say in which roles they would play. Still\, a trailblazing group of actresses forged successful careers out of sheer conviction\, perseverance\, and professional know-how. These spirited women captivated audiences\, shaped the film industry\, and remain enduring icons of classic cinema. \nThis virtual event is for the FIT community only. \n JOIN VIA THE FIT AUTHORS WEBSITE URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/fit-authors-talk-raissa-bretana-on-moxie-the-daring-women-of-classic-hollywood/ LOCATION:Virtual event CATEGORIES:Conversation,Online Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.fitnyc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/bretana-event.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Jennifer Brady%2C Gladys Marcus Library":MAILTO:jennifer_brady@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T140000 DTSTAMP:20260503T135021 CREATED:20251013T194934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251013T194949Z UID:10007797-1761051600-1761055200@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Brooklyn Navy Yard Internship Program Information Session DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Navy Yard’s program manager will provide an overview of the paid college internship opportunities—including full-time and part-time internships—offered throughout the fall\, spring\, and summer. \nThis virtual event is for the FIT community only.  \n REGISTER VIA THE CSJB\n  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/brooklyn-navy-yard-internship-program-information-session/ LOCATION:Virtual event CATEGORIES:Information Session,Online Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.fitnyc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/CIS-logo-400x220-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Career and Intership Services":MAILTO:career_internship@fitnyc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251021T134500 DTSTAMP:20260503T135021 CREATED:20251010T203829Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251010T203829Z UID:10007794-1761051600-1761054300@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Globally Connected @ FIT: Global Street Fashion: Reflections on 10 Years of Online International Learning DESCRIPTION:Join us for a showcase of a collaborative project by students who participated in the exhibition project named Take Me On: Global Street Dress 1980–2000 on view in the Fourth Floor Display Case in the Gladys Marcus Library through January 15\, 2026. \nThe exhibition composed of library collections at the Gladys Marcus Library of FIT came out of a pedagogical project by FIT History of Art Professor Kyunghee Pyun and Professor Ruiling Feng of Tianjun Normal University\, China. \nFeaturing presentations by Art History and Museum Professions students Faith Piñon\, Isabella Rasch\, and NirVana Rizvi. \nGlobally Connected @ FIT is a series of 45-minute virtual discussions led by students\, faculty\, and alumni to advance global education at FIT.

Photo by Helena Goessens. Aya (the Eye)\, Gemmayze\, Beirut\, Lebanon. 2022. Photo by Rania Matar. Juliette (Mirror)\, Achrafieh\, Beirut\, Lebanon. 2024. Photo by Rania Matar. \nIn this virtual World Affairs Lecture\, Rania Matar will be in conversation with Dr. Souzeina Mushtaq\, assistant professor of Communication and Media Studies at University of Wisconsin–River Falls\, on the topic of “From the Individual to the Collective: A Search for Identity.” \nRania Matar has dedicated her photographic practice to exploring deeply personal narratives\, drawing upon her multifaceted cultural background and cross-cultural experiences as a Lebanese-born Palestinian-American artist and mother. Her work explores issues of individual and collective identity\, often through photographs of girls and women in the United States and the Middle East. Working in collaboration with her subjects to create intimate\, often emotionally charged portraits\, her work highlights transcendent human experiences and emphasizes underlying similarities rather than apparent differences.  In doing so\, her work provides insight into the complexity of women’s inner lives and relationships. An accomplished artist\, Matar was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2018. \nThe Department of Social Sciences’ World Affairs Lecture Series fulfills FIT’s mission to foster an understanding of diverse cultures and politics within the international as well as domestic perspectives. It also embraces\, supports\, and expands upon the president’s campuswide initiative on civility. \nJoin using this webinar link: \nhttps://fitnyc.webex.com/fitnyc/j.php?MTID=ma7c936c4a07a312ddb11dd6d110e3862 \nWebinar number: 2631 488 9150\nWebinar password: fitnyc (348692 when dialing from a phone or video system) \nOr join by phone: \n+1-646-992-2010 United States Toll (New York City)\nAccess code: 263 148 89150 \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; join using the Webex link and use the password fitnyc.
