Talk | Voices of Survival: Yom HaShoah Testimony & Remembrance (Online!) 


In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, join survivor and Speakers Bureau member Celia Kener for a special public event. This annual observance encourages people to remember those who were lost and honor the stories of those who survived. Born in 1935 in Lvov, Poland, Celia was just a young girl when the German invasion in 1941 shattered her family's world. Her father was drafted into the Russian army, and Celia, her mother, and her extended family were forced into the ghetto. When her mother was selected for a labor camp, weekend visits became their only connection. Fearing she might not survive, Celia's mother made the heartbreaking decision to place her with a childless Catholic couple who could keep her safe. Ms. Kener will share her story, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Lecture | Learn about Hsitorical Chamber Music & Instruments

When combined with information about differences in the meaning of Classical-era notation, playing on historical instruments and equipment can result in chamber musicians making different interpretive decisions about tempo, affect, and phrasing, leading to performances that can be both vibrant and revelatory.

Discussion | Award-Winning Writer Discusses Public Beliefs around the Apocalypse


This talk by writer Amitov Ghosh seeks to understand the thinking behind public interest in the apocalypse and what it signifies for the future of humanity. The world is currently in the grip of several intensifying crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, geopolitical instability, and so on. Given the scale of the disruptions that are already being felt around the planet, it is hardly surprising that many people have come to be convinced that an apocalypse is inevitable and requires active planning and preparation. This trend cannot be lightly dismissed, for it is being spearheaded by the founders of companies like Facebook and Google, that is to say, figures who are uniquely well-placed to stay abreast of all the latest information and research. It is well-known now that several billionaire tech entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, and Peter Thiel are preparing for an impending apocalypse by building enormously expensive and heavily fortified retreats on remote islands or in sparsely populated stretches of the United States and Canada. Not to be left behind, a bevy of America’s most popular stars, such as Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise, have also acquired cutting-edge apocalypse shelters. Nor are the ultra-rich the only Americans who are investing in doomsday retreats: so great is the demand that a new and rapidly growing industry has emerged to cater to it.

Book Discussion | Pulitzer Prize-Winner Shares Her New Book, A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the American Revolution


Pulitzer Prize-Winning nonfiction author Stacy Schiff shares her recent book, A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the American Revolution. In this book, Schiff provides a dazzling narrative of Franklin's time in France, one of the least-explored chapters of his life. In December 1776, Benjamin Franklin undertook the greatest gamble of his career. The American colonies had declared independence but were without money, munitions, or gunpowder. Amid great secrecy, Franklin crossed the wintry Atlantic to solicit aid from the French monarchy. He was 70 years old, without any diplomatic training, and possessing only the most rudimentary French.

Screening | Belly (1998): Crime Drama Starring Nas & DMX (+ Discussion)

A landmark of Hip Hop cinema, its visual language, music, and style remain unmatched—an enduring portrait of ambition, loyalty, and excess. The film moves between Harlem, Queens, and the Caribbean. Cast in Williams's signature blue, it maps the aspirations and contradictions of an era shaped by Hip-Hop’s global reach. Director: Hype Williams Cast: Nas, DMX, Taral Hicks, T-Boz, Method Man Nas is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and record producer. Rooted in East Coast hip-hop, he is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. In 2012, Nas was second ranked by The Source on their "Top 50 Lyricists of All Time" list, fourth on MTV's Annual Hottest MCs in the Game list in 2013, and was named the "Greatest MC of All Time" by About.com in 2014. In 2015, Nas was featured on the "10 Best Rappers of All Time" list by Billboard. Outside of recording, he serves as associate publisher of Mass Appeal magazine, and co-founded its spin-off division Mass Appeal Records, a record label that has signed artists including Dave East, N.O.R.E., Run the Jewels, and Swizz Beatz, among others. Nas has released seventeen studio albums since 1994, ten of which are certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum in the U.S. Earl Simmons, known professionally as DMX, was an American rapper, songwriter, and actor. His accolades included an American Music Award, a Billboard Music Award, and six Grammy Award nominations. Regarded as an influential figure in the late 1990s and early 2000s and one of the greats of hip-hop, his music is characterized by his "aggressive" rapping style, with lyrical content varying from hardcore themes to prayers. His violent lyricism helped popularize the horrorcore genre. The screening will be followed by a talkback moderated by Alfreda's Cinema's founder, Melissa Lyde, and Jessica Greene.

Workshop | Origami Group Meet-Up


This event is for people to come together and share in the beautiful art of Origami--an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper). Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws.This group meets to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips. This meeting is free and open to all level of folders from beginner to advanced. There will be free paper available to share. You may choose to bring your own paper and books and just show up and fold! If you have models you would like to learn, or teach, let the organizers know, and they will try our best to accommodate.

Talk | Scholar Provides Critical Understanding of Current Immigration Landscape (In Person AND Online!)


Nancy Foner, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Sociology at Hunter College and Graduate Center, shares ideas from her book, Immigration: How the Past Shapes the Present. The past is critical to understanding current U.S. immigration. A new historical perspective shows that the stories, myths, and memories of the past color how we think of immigrants today. It also helps us understand contemporary nativism, distinguishes what is new from long-established patterns, reveals how legacies of earlier immigration shape the lives of present-day arrivals, and offers a fresh look at what lies ahead.
