Book Discussion | A Thousand Tiny Cuts: Mobility and Security Across the Bangladesh-India Borderlands (online)
Dr. Sahana Ghosh discusses her book which chronicles the slow transformation of a connected region into national borderlands and shows the foundational place of gender and sexuality in the meaning and management of threat and security in relation to mobility. This book recasts a singular focus on border fences and migrants as border-crossers and shows, instead, that postcolonial bordering materializes through multiple forms of violence and devaluation in agrarian, borderland lives.

Discussion | The Oscars Past and Present: Who Should Have Won
The annual Academy Awards are a perfect excuse to take stock of the movies. So movie mavens Sara Lukinson and Harry Chotiner are going to have a conversation about all of it over lunch. What did the Oscars get right and wrong about the nominations and the winners? Let's look at past Oscar choices to see where they seem vindicated by time....or are more embarrassing than ever. Beyond the Oscars - what were the best and most interesting movies of the last year and what were the big disappointments? What are we to make of the Barbie phenomenon? How did a serious political-intellectual film like Oppenheimer do a billion dollars at the box office? Was Scoresese's Killers of the Flower Moon, or Bradley Cooper's Maestro as good as some critics say? What about intriguing films like May December and American Fiction or foreign films Past Lives and Zone of Interest? Are movies in movie theaters really reviving or are they actually on life support?

Book Discussion | Mass Atrocities and the Police: A New History of Ethnic Cleansing in Bosnia and Herzegovina (online)
Between April 1992 and December 1995, more than 100,000 people were killed in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The terrible atrocities committed in this period have been much discussed and studied and many prosecuted as acts of genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity. But so far, the academic scholarship has focused on the role of the military in these events. This has come at the expense of considering the police's role, which author Christian Axboe Nielsen here demonstrates as crucial. Nielsen traces the origins of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the police and associated paramilitary groups. Nielsen makes this ground-breaking case by drawing on a host of confidential archival sources, academic research and practical experience as a widely cited expert witness in the most notorious of the war crimes tribunals. His innovative new history sheds light on wider issues regarding the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Balkan wars and the region today.

Lecture | Learning Curves: Machine and Human Learning
Recent advances in machine learning have revitalised the empiricist program by providing direct demonstrations of learning through experience. Vast neural networks that start out with random configurations develop impressive skills in domains like perception, strategic play, and conversation by gradually learning from experience. Despite these successes, there are reasons to think that AI systems today learn in a different, and, in some respects, slower way than humans do. In this talk, Daniel Rothschild explores this potential weakness in machine learning, bringing out different senses in which learning by AI today may be less powerful than human learning.

Opening Reception | Elizabeth Flood: Lookout
Taking place outdoors in the elements, Flood’s practice is physical and watchful. She excavates strata of emotion, history, and movement embedded in the landscape in her responsive, gestural approach. As an artist, Flood feels and processes the world around her, looking to cycles of trauma and endurance in the American Landscape through depictions of the Atlantic Ocean and dunes in Provincetown, Massachusetts; The Hudson River; Civil War Battlefields in Chancellorsville, Virginia and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; and the Mojave Desert. These works span four years—a national election cycle—recording changes of weather, light, and topography through physical endurance and expression of painting. Elizabeth Flood lives and works in Beacon, NY and is originally from Virginia. She earned her MFA in Painting from Boston University, her BA in History and Religious Studies from the University of Virginia, and studied at the Mt. Gretna School Of Art. In 2019, Flood was a participant at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and was an artist-in-residence at the Studios at MASS MoCA. She was awarded two Visual Arts Fellowships at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown in 2021 and 2022. Flood is the recipient of several grants and awards including the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant which helped fund this exhibition, the Real Art Award, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Graduate Fellowship, and the Boston University John Walker Alumni Award. Flood currently teaches painting at Purchase College.

Opening Reception | Hitoshi Fugo: Kami
Japanese photographer Hitoshi Fugo (b. 1947)'s still-life studies explore a single subject's nuanced multi-faceted expressions until the subject becomes detached from its category, meaning, or identity. He commits to an ongoing experimentation in dismantling these boundaries. This exhibition features one of his most ambitious yet long-silenced projects. In 2001, Fugo began photographing the large burnt paper roll that had been sitting in the corner of his studio for six or seven years. One day, around 1993, he walked past a printing factory destroyed by fire and saw cleaning workers leaving half-burnt paper rolls on the ground. Fugo asked them not to throw them away and later brought them to his studio. The salvaged objects, destroyed by violence (fire) and too chaotic for human control, inspired the artist, particularly after witnessing and photographing the aftermath of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995.

Opening Reception | Sam Roeck: Boyfriend
Sam Roeck painted portraits of his ex-boyfriends and paired each one with a likeness of himself. These four portrait-diptychs stand within the long practice of the artist’s self-investigation, mostly using pencil and paper, photography, and, as of late, oil on board or canvas. The fraught coupling of self and ex-lover adds a surprising charge to the traditional dynamics of portraiture. How to work with a sitter who is intimately familiar, unfastened from earlier frames, who needs to be engaged with afresh? Roeck reflects on the aftermath of these relationships, the friendships that remain, and the idea of “letting go.”

Discussion | Black Lands and the Poetics of Citizenship
The story of land in what we refer to as the United States of America, is complex. We investigate land through many frames, including theft, domination, or stewardship, and still have an incomplete understanding of what the layers of fraught meaning and history associated with it. In this event, we shine a light on one slice of that story through the portal of Black history and practice. This is a multimedia panel discussion about the contradictions and revelations of Black land ownership in rural America. The event will feature excerpts from the works of Amy Godine (The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier), Paul A. Miller (Searching for Timbuctoo), and Dr. Gail Myers (Rhythms of the Land).
