Professor Christopher Long presents his new book titled Jock Peters\, Architecture and Design: The Varieties of Modernism by Bauer and Dean Publishers. The book is a visually rich portrait of an architect whose most internationally lauded creations include the lavish commercial interiors for the iconic Bullock’s Wilshire store in Los Angeles and the tragically forgotten Hollander department store in New York City. \nAmong Peters’s early work in Germany are the Levantehaus and Karstadt department stores\, a magnificent glass pavilion from 1916\, and his work for Peter Behrens after the war. But\, the architect’s most accomplished and compelling work came after 1922 when he settled in Southern California. \nLong’s study on early modernism includes material from the architect’s personal archive\, still in family hands. The remarkable images in the book—more than 250 historic photographs\, etchings\, watercolors\, and drawings—alongside Long’s narrative\, demonstrate how Peters\, despite his early death\, managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging. \nChristopher Long is Martin S. Kermacy Centennial Professor of Architectural History at the University of Texas at Austin. He has published widely on modern architecture and design in Central Europe and the United States. \nTHIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED; IT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR APRIL 25.

The film uses 27 years’ worth of research by Keith Beauchamp\, whose efforts led to the reopening of Till’s case by the United States Department of Justice in 2004. Directed by Chinonye Chukwu\, the film stars Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie Till-Bradley\, with Jalyn Hall\, Frankie Faison\, Haley Bennett\, and Whoopi Goldberg in supporting roles. \nThe tale of Emmett Till and his legacy is a true story of black resistance that kickstarted the battle for civil rights in America. According to Beauchamp\, who co-wrote and produced the film\, “There is no other story that speaks more to this generation and to this political climate and racial climate of this country than the story of Emmett Louis Till.” \nProfessor Dahlia Schweitzer\, from FIT’s Film and Media program\, will moderate a conversation with writer and executive producer Keith Beauchamp following the film. \nThe screening will take place in Room D207\, FIT’s screening room\, in the Pomerantz Center\, on the campus of FIT. \nSponsored by FIT’s Social Justice Center\, FIT’s Film and Media Program\, the School of Liberal Arts\, and the Justice Film Festival. \nThis event is free and open to the public; RESERVE A FREE TICKET ON EVENTBRITE.
