From there we get a preview of Revolutionary Spaces’ commemoration of the 251st anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. They’ll be staging with a world-class reenactment of the Meeting of the Body of the People at Old South Meeting House! Experience this pivotal moment in our nation’s history as you watch the vigorous debate that led to the destruction of tea on December 16, 1773.

Finally, Mahesh Daas, president of Boston Architectural College, joins The Culture Show for his recurring feature “AI: Actual intelligence,” where we tap into the most interesting thinkers in our region. Their insights and observations are totally original and algorithm free. This month we’re talking about Notre-Dame de Paris, and the five-year restoration that went into resurrecting it from the ashes after it was damaged by a fire in 2019. Mahesh Daas is the co-author of the graphic novella about artificial intelligence, titled “ I, Nobot.”
