Fela Market At Isla Verde

Afternoon at Club Ven Acca

Screening of Arno Peters at Naresh's

This fascinating 30-minute documentary explores the history of how the Peters Equal Area World Map came into being. The project, a collaborative effort between Ruth Abrams and her map-publisher son, Bob Abramms, took six years for them to complete. It was filmed on-location at Dr. Peters home in Bremen, Germany, as well as in Oxford, England, and a variety of locations in the USA. The film includes scenes from the WEST WING TV show that featured the map and cartographic critiques that show the tension and conflict that the Peters map generated amongst the cartographic establishment. The film contains the only English-language interviews ever conducted with Arno Peters. Dr. Peters died in 2002, fifteen months after these interviews were filmed. The Peters World Map was a radical map, and as this film shows, Arno Peters was truly a remarkable man. His impact will be felt for generations to come.

WHEN: Friday, December 14 2007 07:00 PM
TICKET PRICE: FREE, RSVP required below

Possible pot luck at 6PM, screening of the movie at 7PM, and dancing after. For details contact Naresh after December 7th.
