    Rhapsody on Wine

    French Program (In English)




    April 2nd, 2024

    Social Time: 11:00 a.m. Program: 11:30a.m.

    Zoom will start at 11:20 a.m.


    Hybrid: Zoom and IWA Office (307 N Michigan Ave, Suite 702)


    Speaker: Peter Conroy


    This is, I hope, an amusing and informative look at the

    vocabulary we find on the labels of wine bottles. The claims made on these

    labels are sometimes quite extraordinary and are worth a look … or a taste.

    I will also talk about the different wine producing regions in France as well

    as some important distinctions between French and American wines.

    Food for thought I hope even if we cannot sip them right here.

    Between the Silence - Film Viewing and Discussion




    Date: Tuesday, April 9, 2024


    Time: 10:30 a.m.


    Location: IWA Office, 307 N Michigan Ave, Suite 702



    Speaker: Mina Patel, with her background in social justice, education, and civic engagement, brings a creative light to under-served voices in her film Between the Silence. It explores the epidemic of loneliness and yearning for belonging through the lives of two socially isolated immigrant women. She combines her Art of Belonging workshops and the film screening to spark conversation on creating meaningful gatherings to cultivate a sense of belonging and alleviate social isolation. After viewing her film, she will lead a discussion on creating community and the universal desire to belong.

    Baroque Costumes at the Court of France

    (17th and 18th Centuries)




    May 22, 2024

    Social: 2:00pm, Program 2:30pm


    IWA Office

    307 N Michigan Ave, Suite 702


    Discover the 17th and 18th-century French court performances, with Weriem,

    visual artist and costume designer specializing in baroque opera! Following the work of

    the illustrators of Kings Louis XIII, XIV, XV, and XVI, we will examine the fantasies of

    ballet and opera costumes. We will discuss the important rules and symbols used in

    costumes and their evolution over these two centuries.


    Presenter:

    WERIEM is a French and Tunisian artist praised for her « gorgeous

    and evocative», « spectacular » and « sumptuous array of period-perfect »

    costumes by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune,

    respectively. She has a decade of experience in designing costumes for live

    performances (Royal Swedish Opera, the Boston Early Music Festival, Haymarket

    Opera, Opera Lafayette, among others).


    Simultaneously, WERIEM's artistic journey has encompassed various

    commissioned illustrations. In 2022, she embarked on a new chapter in her career

    as an independent visual artist, selling her original art and prints to art enthusiasts

    both in-person throughout Chicago and worldwide. Prior to delving into the arts

    and relocating from France to her current home in Chicago, she earned a PhD in

    science from Université de Lille, France. Currently, she is working on a new

    collection of original art pieces.
