In honor of the 150th anniversary of when construction began on the Brooklyn Bridge, join us for a book talk with photographer and author Barbara G. Mensch. Mensch will discuss her new book “In the Shadow of Genius,” a photographer’s quest to understand the brilliant minds and remarkable lives of those who built the Brooklyn Bridge. She combines striking photographs with a powerful first-person narrative to cast a unique light on the concept of genius, tracing her own curious path to understanding the genius of John, Washington, and Emily Roebling. A Q&A and book signing will follow the presentation.
