SUMMARY:MOTHER OF SNOW CRANES
DESCRIPTION:On March 18\, see Mother of Snow Cranes\, Finnish director Iiris Härmä’s stirring documentary following a strong\, adventurous ornithologist whose journey from love to tragedy to revolution earned her the title “The Mother of Snow Cranes.” Director and producer Iiris Härmä and cinematographer Visa Koiso-Kanttila will be present for a film talk following the screening. \n“Ellen\, why are you staying here?” Iiris Härmä’s film begins with this question before following the remarkable life of Ellen Vuosalo (1931–2025)\, who was born in Toronto to Finnish immigrants\, studied zoology in the United States\, and married an Iranian man. Ellen’s situation changed drastically after she decided to travel to Iran to seek custody of her children following her divorce. What started as a personal journey brought her to the wetlands of northern Iran where she stayed for five decades\, dedicating her life to studying and protecting the last flocks of the critically endangered Siberian crane. \nThis heartfelt and inspiring documentary captures a lifetime of conservation\, blending scientific research with community involvement and challenging cultural and gender norms along the way. It’s a gentle portrait of one woman’s unwavering commitment to wildlife and a reflection on resilience\, belonging\, and connections across nature\, humanity\, and cultural borders. \nPhotos: Visa Koiso-Kanttila  \nPurchase Tickets \n

SUMMARY:WOMEN IN NORDIC DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE: CRAFT MEETS INDUSTRY
DESCRIPTION:Nordic American Connections: Conversations on Architecture and Design is a four-part series that presents prominent architects\, critics and scholars to reflect on Scandinavian and Nordic design’s enduring impact in shaping modern American design since the 19th century. \nWith renewed interest in the Nordic tradition and its resilient building strategies for climate action and wellbeing\, this four-part architecture series engages contemporary Nordic and American architects and designers highlighting their design approaches with an emphasis on ‘complete design’ and award-winning projects that shape the American landscape and reflect Nordic design’s pivotal role in Modernism in America. This series is offered in collaboration with AIA New York and AIA Continental Europe. The third panel of the series\, marking Scandinavia House’s 25th Anniversary\, will focus on women in Nordic design—from Aino and Elissa Aalto\, Loja Saarinen\, and Greta Magnusson Grossman to contemporary women architects. Historically\, women have made significant contributions to modern architecture and design\, shaping both public buildings and residential spaces\, as well as furniture and textile design. Their innovative approaches and distinctive styles have combined nature\, craftsmanship\, and human-centered principles with modern aesthetics\, helping to define and transform the industry. \nParticipants include Eva Christine Jensen of Eva Jensen Design; Jennifer Yoos\, design partner and President at VJAA; and Suchi Reddy\, founder of Reddymade. The program will be moderated by Susan Chin of DesignConnects. \nTickets are now available HERE. \nThe series continues this spring with a final discussion on May 14\, 2026. Purchase a series pass here.  \nAIANY Continuing Education Credits are approved for this session; attendees receive 1.5 Learning Units | 1.5 HSW credits.
