SUMMARY:Jonathan Adler | Penny Stamps Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Finding Your Voice\nJonathan Adler’s brain is a cultural blender. His influences are vast. High\, low\, and everything in between\, from Isamu Noguchi’s organic Modern Sculptures to raunchy 1970s bumper stickers. The end result? A design brand — pottery\, furniture\, and more — which marries chic design with irreverent references. Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design\, which deftly combines humor\, impeccable style\, and skilled craftsmanship. In his talk\, Adler will shed light on how he synthesizes disparate inspirations into a varied yet distinctive voice and offer advice on how young designers and artists can develop their own signature styles in a chaotic visual landscape. \n\n\nAdler launched his namesake brand in 1993 when Barneys New York purchased his first pottery collection\, and by 1998 he had opened his flagship store in Soho. Since then\, Adler has expanded his studio into a global design company rooted in craftsmanship and playful luxury. Pottery remains at the heart of his work\, while the brand now encompasses furniture\, lighting\, décor\, and textiles — all united by his signature vision of ​“Modern American Glamour.” Through both his retail stores and collaborations worldwide\, Adler continues to champion bold design infused with wit\, optimism\, and artistry. \nAdler appeared as a judge for two seasons of Bravo’s Top Design and later served as a judge on HGTV’s Design Star: Next Gen. In 2019\, Adler received the Brand Heritage Award at The Fashion Group International’s annual Night of Stars gala in New York City and has received many accolades\, including the MAD Visionary Award from the Museum of Arts and Design in 2025. \nPresented in partnership with Design Core Detroit.  \nThis project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. \nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.

SUMMARY:Wilding by Isabella Tree | PBS Books Readers Club
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books Readers Club welcomes British author and conservationist Isabella Tree to discuss her inspirational non-fiction book Wilding: Returning Nature to Our Farm. The episode premieres on April 29th at 8PM ET as a PBS Books Facebook Live event\, on the PBS Books YouTube channel\, pbsbooks.org\, and the PBS app. \nWilding: Returning Nature to Our Farm chronicles the real-life experiences of Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell as they take on rewilding their 3\,500-acre Knepp Castle Estate in Sussex\, England. A land ravaged by centuries of farming\, it was starting to fail\, and along with it\, the family’s sense of security. Inspired by a visit from an arboriculturist looking to save their old oak trees\, Burrell and Tree decided to take a chance and change everything they were doing with the land. Through the reintroduction of native species both flora and fauna\, this striking case of land revitalization proves there is way to allow the wild to thrive again. \nAs Tree reflects\, “I think the only answer to eco anxiety is to get your hands dirty and do something. And the joy that can come from even transforming a window box… so that you’re now attracting night flying moths and hoverflies and all the forgotten pollinators\, you’re making a difference. And that feels just so fantastic.” \nPart personal memoir\, part history lesson\, and part biology lesson\, Wilding is an uplifting and rare eco-success story. Isabella Tree does a magnificent job weaving together the many aspects of what it means to rewild. From the littlest bugs in the ground to large grazing animals\, each species plays a vital role in bring balance to the environment. It is the true story of nature’s resilience when given a chance. \nPBS Watch-Alike: Wilding Wilding tells the story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing\, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition\, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences\, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

SUMMARY:Author Talk With John Garrison Marks: "Thy Will Be Done"
DESCRIPTION:This is an in-person event taking place at the Anderson Theatre at the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. This event is free to attend\, but registration is required. \nAs we reflect on 250 years of America’s history\, we invite you to join us for an impactful and important conversation with historian and author John Garrison Marks. \nMarks will discuss his newest work\, Thy Will Be Done: George Washington’s Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory (2026)\, where he tells the story of Americans’ long\, fraught struggle to come to terms with Washington’s legacy of slavery. \nThe program will lead with a question Americans have reflected on for nearly 250 years: How should we remember George Washington’s entanglement in slavery? \nUsing research foundational to Thy Will Be Done\, Marks will speak to Washington’s ties to slavery\, and how the actions seen in his life’s work have shaped and reshaped Americans’ collective memory of Washington and slavery — along with their understanding of the nation. \nThe program will include a discussion with Heather Bruegl (Oneida/Stockbridge-Munsee)\, Curator of Political and Civic Engagement at The Henry Ford\, and be followed by a brief audience Q&A and book signing\, with the opportunity to purchase a copy of Thy Will Be Done. \nThe Henry Ford is committed to being a welcoming place for curiosity\, learning and the open exchange of ideas. Programs featuring guest speakers are intended to encourage thoughtful conversation and exploration. The views shared at these events do not necessarily reflect those of The Henry Ford. \nRegister HereAbout The Book\nIn Thy Will Be Done: George Washington’s Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory\, historian John Garrison Marks tells the story of Americans’ long\, fraught struggle to come to terms with Washington’s legacy of slavery. He traces how politicians\, abolitionists\, educators\, activists\, Washington’s former slaves and their descendants\, and others have remembered\, forgotten\, and manipulated slavery’s place in Washington’s story\, and how they have wielded versions of that story in the political and cultural fights of their time. Marks shows how generational struggles over our collective memory of Washington and slavery have always been part of a bigger conversation about defining the United States and its people. As debates about the founders’ participation in the system of slavery continue to roil public discourse\, Marks shows with new clarity that Americans have never collectively reconciled Washington’s conflicted legacy. By truly grappling with Washington’s role as enslaver and emancipator\, we may come to better understand the nation and ourselves. \nRegistration Information:\nThe event is free to the public\, but registration is required. Seats are limited. \nThere is a maximum of six registrants per entry. Registrants will receive confirmation and event reminders via email. Please show these confirmations upon entry to the event. \nRegistration will close if capacity is reached. \nRegister HereAbout The Author:\nJohn Garrison Marks is a historian and writer whose work explores race\, slavery\, memory\, and public history in the United States.
