SUMMARY:FACC-DC: Art + History: Eugene Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People - A Virtual Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Eugene Delacroix – Liberty Leading the People \nGreat art comes from real people living real lives. In his popular Art+History series\,  Paul Glenshaw brings his audience though space and time to revisit vibrant moments in history when iconic works were created\, whether it’s Second Empire Paris\, Boston in the American Revolution\, or medieval Calais. \n  \nLiberty Leading the People\, by Eugene Delacroix \nDelacroix’s commemoration of the 1830 July Revolution has become an icon of the French Republic. He revolutionized romantic painting but was actually born into the upper French society\, and favored subjects rooted in literature\, history\, and religion. He witnessed the Les Trois Glorieuses firsthand\, at first with fear. What caused French citizens across classes to rise up against King Charles X? And how was Delacroix transformed? \nThe immersive presentations are more like live documentaries than lectures. They’re designed especially for the online experience\, with extensive use of Google Earth seamlessly integrated with archival maps\, images\, and dramatic footage to put the viewer right in the action. \n  \nJoin presenter Paul Glenshaw\, lecturer for the Smithsonian Associates and professional storyteller\, for this fascinating\, immersive experience exploring Eugene Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People. \n\n

SUMMARY:FACC-DC: Myths & Realities of the American Revolution - France's True Role in the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thu\, Apr 29 at 5:30 p.m. to learn about the myths and realities of the American Revolution and the role of France in it. \nThis is the second in a series of Webinar presentations to discuss France’s role in the American Revolution to be presented by Randolph G. Flood\, co-founder with Robert Sherretta of The Real American Revolution educational programming. \n“French Aid to the American Revolution: The Key Players Who Made It Happen” \nThis talk explores the key individuals who played a major role in providing French aid to the Americans as they attempted to break away as independent colonies of Great Britain\, long before French troops were ever committed to helping the Americans and before war was officially declared between the French and the British. \nCommonly held “myths” will be addressed\, such as Ben Franklin NOT being the first American to develop a relationship with France nor single-handedly gaining French support for the American Cause. Rather\, the “true” behind-the-scenes players who orchestrated French involvement will be revealed and discussed. \nThe above topic deals with one of the most significant misconception of the English colonies relationship with France\, as perpetuated by American history books and multiple historians\, who ignore the “real” truth of France’s role in helping the American cause.  We hope you’ll tune into this educational Zoom session sponsored in cooperation with The Real American Revolution.\nThu\, Apr 29 \n5:30pm

He believes knowledge is power\, and his mission is to change the way companies work by creating a data-driven culture that is accessible to everyone. In Spring 2017\, Jonathan moved to New York with his family to open ContentSquare’s outpost in the Americas. Nine years later\, what started off as a college assignment is now an international company with eight offices worldwide and over 700 clients. \nAdrien Nussenbaum is Co-Founder & U.S. CEO of Mirakl\, the global leader in online marketplace solutions.

I’m Heidi – Paris tour guide and creator of the Women of Paris Walks. I made the move over to Paris from London in search of a new adventure in the French capital where I began guiding. Through guiding my love for Paris blossomed; I developed a fascination for all things French and a genuine joy for what I was doing. \nI was inspired to create the Essential Women of Paris walk when I realised that this is a grossly neglected topic in Paris tourism. Typical tours of the city are dominated by great men (Napoleon\, Louis XIV\, Victor Hugo etc) and often don’t include much reference to great women. Or\, if they do mention women\, it is often in a negative light. \nAfter realising this and feeling disheartened I decided to make a change and create something relevant for our time – an evolving world in which patriarchal history is being challenged. As soon as I began researching\, I was amazed by the rich diversity of names I was coming across\, from Josephine Baker to Marie Curie. I hope that this tour will reveal a new side to Paris\, already such a beloved city\, and I hope that it will enrich Paris tourism by creating an awareness of some of the incredible women who have impacted the city. \nLet’s consider the facts: France has never had a female monarch or president. Women didn’t get the vote here until much later than many of France’s European counterparts. This is the capital city of a country that has been ruled by men and its history largely dictated by a male voice. The women we do hear about are very often wives\, mistresses or muses to great kings\, writers or artists. Throughout history\, women have very often been sexualised\, objectified\, but not all that frequently recognised for their own achievements. \nIn the past\, Paris has been likened to a female muse\, inspiring the many great male artists and writers who made their names here. But what about the women who lived here? What was Paris for them? Isn’t it time we heard their voices too? \n​For more information\, please visit: https://www.womenofparis.fr/ \n\n\nPromotional Partners:
