Last weekend, on November 2, I gave a talk to a select audience for the Art Deco Weekend organized by Patrick Cranley. Below is the schedule for the event. Afterwards I accompanied many of the audience members on a walking tour with Spencer Dodington, who led us on a tour of the old buildings of the Jing'an District, starting at the Paramount Ballroom.
I recorded my talk and made a video by adding the slides I showed as well as some footage I shot in 2012 of a dance party at the Paramount Ballroom.
