On view October 1 -- December 11, 2025This exhibition draws on archival materials from the Aga Khan Documentation Center at MIT (AKDC) to explore a century of cultural heritage preservation in Aleppo, Syria. It takes as its point of departure the work of Kamil al-Ghazzi (1853–1933), the pioneering Aleppine historian whose influential three-volume chronicle, Nahr al-Dhahab fī Tārīkh Ḥalab (The River of Gold in the History of Aleppo), was published between 1924 and 1926.Ink, Stone, and Silver Light presents three modes of documentation—manuscript, built form, and photography—through which Aleppo’s urban memory has been recorded and preserved. Featuring figures such as Michel Écochard and Yasser Tabbaa alongside al-Ghazzi, the exhibition traces overlapping efforts to capture the spirit of a city shaped by commerce, craft, and coexistence. At a time when Syria again confronts upheaval and displacement, these archival fragments offer models for preserving the past while envisioning futures rooted in dignity, knowledge, and place.

What can honeybees teach us about building a healthier planet — and a sustainable business? Dr. Noah Wilson-Rich, CEO of The Biodiversity Lab and founder of Urban Bee Lab and The Best Bees Company, grew a backyard beekeeping project into a nationwide research network powering insights for NASA, MIT, Harvard, and beyond. Today, through The Biodiversity Lab’s strategic consulting and Urban Bee Lab’s nonprofit research, Noah is expanding that mission to help communities and organizations design actionable solutions at the intersection of science, sustainability, and impact. In this talk, he will share how bees serve as living sensors of biodiversity and climate change — and the lessons he’s learned about entrepreneurship at the crossroads of business, sustainability, and science.
