Conference | Language: What Is It Good For?
Successful communication can result in human flourishing and cooperation, while misunderstanding proliferates suffering. Words do not have stable, precise definitions, but “have those meanings which we have given them,” as Wittgenstein notes—new with each interpretational circumstance. Subjective and cultural forces shape the way we interpret signs, which makes our daily connection through language profound. Yet the human capacity to animate signs, by imbuing sound (and movement) with sense, remains beyond scientific understanding. Language is both one of the most fundamental elements of the human experience and one of the least understood, illustrating the need for a creative reexamination of the human language faculty. This interdisciplinary conference will share innovative thoughts about language use and linguistic communication. This one-day conference is inspired by the twin observations that opportunities designed specifically to initiate cross-disciplinary collaborations are rare, and that graduate students are ideally poised to take advantage of such opportunities to generate influential new insights and frameworks. The conference will feature talks and poster presentations in the morning and early afternoon. In the late afternoon, speakers will participate in identifying persistent questions and themes emerging from the presentations, as well as potentials for targeted collaborations.

Conference | (Anti-)Colonialisms and its Afterlives: Renewing and Rethinking the Debate
According to some scholars, the various traditions of criticizing colonial modernity in the human sciences (rather than literary criticism)—postcolonial, decolonial, settler colonial, and anti-imperial, are now spent. Some disagree. Certain approaches and themes associated with these fields, to be sure, have been rendered anachronistic by ongoing socio-political transformations that have taken place within and across the countries of the peripheral fringe and the metropolitan core (including neoliberal globalization, mass migration, the proliferation of ethno-racial enclaves and camps for stateless peoples, the spread of populism) have blurred the boundaries between them; others have been ossified by intra-disciplinary academic debates and still others by ideologically monistic perspectives. Without ignoring or belittling the criticisms that have been leveled against these counter-colonial traditions by critics and sympathizers alike, this conference seeks to rethink and renew them by having them engage with and transform each other’s understanding of the current and untimely aspects of the receding present.

Fair | October 7th, 06:29AM: An Immersive Exhibition on Nova Music Festival Massacre
To celebrate the end of his two years of service as a medic in the Israel Defense Forces' paratrooper division, Tomer Meir joined 13 of his friends at the Nova Musica Festival on the weekend of October 6 in Re'im in southern Israel. It was his first ever music festival. "It was the best moments of my life. I can't explain the state we were in," the 21-year-old told the New York Jewish Week. "It was pure love -- people dancing, laughing, smiling. All the good stuff that we're living for." Until 6:29 a.m. on Saturday morning. The red alerts, the rockets and the running. "The music stopped. The rockets started. We started running for our lives," Meir said. Meir is a survivor of the Nova Music Festival Massacre, where Hamas militants killed 364 festival-goers and took at least 40 hotstages on the morning of Oct. 7. Six months after the attack, Meir is in New York sharing his story as part of an interactive exhibit about that day, which he says is helping him heal. The Nova Musical Festival exhibition, titled October 7th, 06:29AM, is an immersive step into what it was like to be at the festival when it was attacked. Screens show clips from the attack on Nova are displayed next to personal and camping items taken from the festival recreating the festival layout. The exhibit, which debuted in Tel Aviv for 10 weeks in December, was created by Israeli designers and cultural producers, many of whom were producers with the Nova Music Festival itself. It was brought to New York with the help of Scooter Braun, the Jewish-American music producer and philanthropist. The exhibit recreates the visuals and sounds of the Nova Music Festival massacre. But the New York version is in some ways "more intense," according to Yael Finkelstein, a volunteer who collected items from the Nova site and helped set up both the Tel Aviv and New York exhibit. New elements at the New York exhibit include dozens of video testimonies from survivors, Zaka volunteers and family members, as well as graphic raw footage taken on Oct. 7 from both festival-goers and Hamas militants. In addition, survivors of the massacre such as Meir and Sassi will be at the exhibit every day to share their stories and answer questions. Their goal, Meir said, is to show New Yorkers that the horror they experienced could happen to anyone.

Poetry Reading | 2 Poets Read Their Work
A special reading of poems by Cecilia Vicuña and Jena Osman, on the occasion of the NY Art Book Fair and the release of the new, expanded facsimile edition of Vicuña’s Saborami from Book Works. Vicuña created Saborami in the aftermath of the September 1973 military coup in Chile. Combining poetry, journal entries and documentation of artworks, the book was published in Devon, England in a limited edition of hand-made copies by the artist-led Beau Geste Press. Though the book is highly regarded, it has also been hard to access. This new and expanded facsimile edition restates ‘Saborami’ as a central example of artistic engagement in material and revolutionary resistance. Jena Osman's latest book is A Very Large Array: Selected Poems’ published by Adam Pendleton's DABA Books this past fall. She co-edited the journal ‘Chain’ for 12 years with Juliana Spahr, after which they edited ChainLinks Books. In 2011, ChainLinks published a reproduction of Cecilia Vicuna's ‘Saborami.’ Osman lives in Philadelphia where she teaches in the MFA Creative Writing Program at Temple University.

Like the block parties of the 80s and 90s, participants can expect dance, music and fellowship in a casual but upbeat atmosphere. Take a trip down memory lane, wear your best styles from the decades, and come ready to move and have a good time. ALL generations and families are welcome. No dance experience needed.

Performance | Oliver Beer: Resonance Paintings – Cat Orchestra: Performance Art
On the occasion of Resonance Paintings – Cat Orchestra, Oliver Beer's second solo show with the gallery, the artist, together with Holland Andrews, will be performing the Cat Orchestra on the last day of the exhibition. Everything sings, and in the beginning, a song was everything: the Word, the Om, a bang that echoes still today. The word you use for it may depend on your belief system. What’s certain, however, is that the universe is a symphony of cosmic vibrations, from the first murmurs of an infant’s heartbeat to the thunderous death of stars. Oliver Beer’s work shows us that if we listen carefully, we can hear them. He’s been listening for as long as he can remember, since the days he would modulate his own voice to match the harmonic pitch of his childhood bedroom. Every room – indeed, every vessel – has such a note, known as a Helmholtz resonance, and for several years the artist, who trained as a musician before studying fine art at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, has been trying to tune them. For “Cat Orchestra,” Beer has tuned an entire band. A chorus of cat-shaped vases, ranging from the classical to the kitsch, are connected to live microphones that feed to a custom-built keyboard and synthesizer. Each key, when played, activates the microphone in the vessel whose resonance corresponds to that note, so that a fin-de-siecle French absinthe pitcher in the form of a cat playing a mandolin sings an F sharp, and a Japanese Maneki-neko sings a D. With this, Beer has achieved the dream of Athanasius Kircher, the 17th century occult philosopher who first imagined the cat organ, or “Katzenklavier.” That hypothetical instrument corralled a group of live cats inside a piano, arranged by voice pitch, so that when keys struck their tails, they would cry out in pain. Beer’s real version is far kinder to animals and far more revealing of the sounds we hold within ourselves.

Opening Reception | Xingzi Gu: Pure Heart Hall
It was believed in the 17th century that emotion—love, in particular—quite literally warmed the heart, which then produced water vapor to cool itself down, which would then travel to the eyes and expel as tears. In their breathy dreamscapes and pools of silky jewel tones tinged with murky stains, Xingzi Gu’s paintings materialize a soft, psychically charged atmosphere in which emotional experience is also physical, akin to “heart vapor.” The misty sensibility that wells up in Pure Heart Hall, as it does so much of our lives as a source of grief, ultimately lends itself to what the artist describes as a self-generated belief system—one comprised of magically elusive properties of connection and the deeply felt alchemy of relationships that meet us where we are. Here, lightly summarized figures with unfinished limbs and wispy expressions slip in and out of odd moments of gathering and solitude, cuddling and masturbating, disassociating yet substantially present. Through their ethereal motifs of veiling and blurring, Gu obscures clarity of vision like eyes brimming with liquid, smearing distress into love into heartbreak into belonging into free-fall.

It is time to embrace a new narrative shaped by the perceptions of its people, guiding us to understand and demystify Haiti's rich heritage at this critical moment.

Play | Koi-Coy: A Surreal Los Angeles
Em returns home wearing an eyepatch to find her stepsister has joined a cult. Wylie’s been skinning wild animals in the California high desert, and a mysterious figure is on the loose again. In a surreal version of Los Angeles in late spring, a group of young people are forced to contend with their inability to tell the truth while embracing their nostalgic obsession with the LA literary arts scene of the 90s. Written by by Lillian Mottern. A student production.

Dance Performance | Mudpit: A Devised Dance-Theatre Piece
Mudpit is the peat bog from which we emerged, into which we will return. Decomposing, regenerating, molting - what happens in the space between the fluorescent buzz of our hypermodern world and the ancient wisdom of bugs, blood, fire, and seeds? Everything we make is part of nature, whether we like it or not. Directed & Choreographed by Celia Krefter Dramaturgy by Kate Purdum Production Design by Maya T. Weed, Celia Krefter & Kate Purdum Performed by: Zo? Benavidez Ava Blum Bonnie Cai Thaleia Dasberg Sydney Gerlach
