WOODS HOLE PUBLIC LIBRARY (WHPL)

August 5 @ 12:00 am - August 12 @ 12:00 am

The library will screen a new documentary on the rapidly growing industry of fish farming on Monday, August 5, at 6:30 p.m. What was the last fish you ate? Where did it originate? If it was sea bass, sea bream, salmon, prawns, tuna or trout, how was it produced? More importantly, who was impacted? Fish farming is the fastest growing sector of food production, described as the ‘sustainable answer for food security’, but as the world population nears the 9.7 billion predicted by 2050, is it the solution? The new 60-minute film by investigative journalist and award-winning filmmaker, Francesco De Augustinis, ‘Until The End Of The World’, takes the viewer on a journey from central Italy through Europe, West Africa and South America to meet communities dealing with what many refer to as ‘a neo-colonialist threat’ rather than a solution. This film screening is free and open to the public and will be held in the library’s lower-level Community Room. B J Atwood-Fukuda will read from her fiction and other writing at the library on Monday, August 12, at 6:30 p.m. This summer, which is her 11th reading at the library, B J will share her reminiscence of ten years as a volunteer guide at the Rubin Museum of Art, which is closing this fall after just 20 years. This work will be published by the online journal Cable Street in September. An excerpt from her novel-in-progress, Beautiful, won a Novel Slices Award in 2023 and was published in both the print and online editions of NS #6. Other publication highlights include a novella entitled Nice Piano, and work in Great American Prose Poems from Poe to the Present and Free Radicals: American Poets Before Their First Books. B J lives and works in Spuyten Duyvil, NY and Woods Hole.
