The Human Shelter
In 2016, MoMA opened Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter, an exhibition that examined how contemporary architecture arid design addressed ideas of shelter in light of global refugee(难民) emergencies. Danish Boris Benjamin Bertram documented the exhibition, and the result is a movie by him asking what makes a home, and, perhaps more importantly, when shelter becomes home. This online event is part of Member events.

Kristan Higgins
“Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh was a book I read over and over as a kid. I loved Harriet’s independence and drive and her ability to get where she wanted. Most of all, Harriet reminded me that everyone has a story worth reading.”
Kristan Higgins is a New York Times-bestselling author of more than 20 novels.
Nisha Sharma
“I was crazy about Pride and Prejudice from the moment I read the very first sentence. Elizabeth Bennet is a strong-willed heroine who knows her mind and her heart. At a young age, Jane Austen made me believe that strong women like Elizabeth deserve love from men who respect their intelligence. I can confidently say Jane Austen’s story shaped the direction of my writing career.”
Nisha Sharma is the author of My So-Called Bollywood Life.
Elyssa Friedland
“I absolutely adore Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. What could be better than a story about a girl forced to obey every order because of a gift from a fairy (仙女)? Tired of being taken advantage of, the girl, with a talking book as her companion, leaves her home to find the fairy to return her unwanted gift. This is a story about taking matters into one’s own hands and using wisdom and determination to overcome what seems like an insurmountable obstacle (不可逾越的障碍).”
Elyssa Friedland is the author of the novel named The Intermission.
Vesper Stamper
“It’s hard to beat the Bronte sisters for their woman power. My favorite book of all time is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, which proves that a girl or woman can have inner strength and great power by being herself, even if that is ‘poor, plain and little’. Jane refuses to give in to moral convenience, at great cost to herself. As a result, she finds true love and changes the lives of those she comes across. A lesson for me: Sometimes it’s in the small acts that a real change is made.
Vesper Stamper is the author of What the Night Sings, an incredibly moving novel.
