Book Discussion | James Beard Award-Winning Founder of Nobu, Drew Nieporent, Shares His New Book
I'm Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches with Drew Nieporent. Drew Nieporent is a legend in New York's food world-known as "the restaurateur's restaurateur" (Danny Meyer) and "one of the people who changed American restaurants" (Ruth Reichl). The James Beard Award-winning founder of Nobu, Montrachet, and Tribeca Grill has long been celebrated for what Meyer calls "his insatiable appetites for food, hospitality, showmanship, and winning." He's also known as a spellbinding raconteur. In his new book, I'm Not Trying To Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches, Nieporent tells the dramatic story of his own rise to power--from waiting tables to leading a culinary empire--and his eventual partnerships with movie men like Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, and Francis Ford Coppola. This "startlingly honest" book is not just a memoir, but the portrait of an evolving industry, as Nieporent "takes you behind the kitchen door to show you how the business really works" (Reichl).

Explore a dramatic but little-known moment in New York's past in this online book talk about the 1906 boycott of public school Christmas pageants. Sparked when a Brooklyn principal urged Jewish students to be "more like Jesus Christ," the protest grew into a citywide movement that challenged religious practices in public schools and ignited intense antisemitic backlash. The conversation delves into the activists who led the response, the debates over identity and citizenship it unleashed, and how this episode helped shape the relationship between Jewish communities and American public education.

Lecture | Learn More about Claude Monet
This talk by Eleanor Sypher will dive into the life of Claude Monet (1840-1926), one of the foremost landscape painters in Western Art. He intuitively understood how the eye perceives light and color, as expressed in his plein air paintings. Monet hoped to document the French countryside with his series of Haystacks, Rouen Cathedral, and waterlilies which he portrayed in his garden at Giverny. In 1908, he made a quick trip to Venice and some of those images are now on display at The Brooklyn Museum.

Zurkow’s work has consistently engaged with the complexity of ecological and social systems and the effects of their temporal and cyclical structure. The artist will discuss how she has addressed planetarity, our interdependence with Earth as a planet, geological time, and fossil fuel formation across various media in different presentation formats. Zurkow’s work process and the technicalities of creating her art — from animation and software to card games and food-based pieces — will also be a focus of the dialogue. The conversation will investigate environmental change due to human intervention, natural evolution, and the role of art in probing possibilities of renewal.

Book Club | Discuss I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
At this book club meeting, participants will discuss I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, a searing and quick read that packs a punch, perfect for starting off the new year strong. Synopsis:Deep underground, thirty-nine women and one girl live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only a vague recollection of their lives before. One day an alarm sounds, the guards flee, and their cage is left open. When they escape, they'll discover the world they left behind and what, if anything, awaits them above. Harpman's post-apocalyptic modern classic is embedded with themes of feminism and intimacy to critique how far people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation.

The monologue is an amalgam of the written word and performance, and the form has become an increasingly popular literary/theatrical phenomenon. Expect to hear true stories that are funny, engaging, poignant, memorable, and relatable. When spoken aloud, a writer’s first-person story becomes something else—a monologue that is enacted for an audience. The emphasis for this event is on the quality of the written piece—but told to the audience in a compelling way.

This exhibition showcases new and older works primarily as installation, video, sound, and photography developed by the artist over the last five years. In his research-based exhibition projects, artist James Gregory Atkinson combines social and political history with autobiographical perspectives to examine the absence of Afro-German experiences within established narratives of race, identity, and nationality in Germany. By integrating documents, objects, oral histories, bodies, places, and performative practices into a living, shared archive, he reimagines memory, experience, and knowledge as relational and dynamic, with each element functioning as a historical carrier.

From her modern take on iconic furnishings to her understanding of how shared spaces come alive in restaurants and hotels to her penchant for imparting a sense of history into ground-up homes, Roberts has built a practice of specificity by dissolving the boundaries between architecture, objects, and interior design. Roberts will discuss her book, Elizabeth Roberts Architects: Collected Stories (Monacelli Press), an intentionally unconventional monograph that weaves project documentation with fiction, historical ephemera with hand-drawn sketches. She'll share how she approaches her projects at stories, how listening shapes her solutions, and why perfection is never the goal. Signed copies of Collected Stories will be available for purchase.

Talk | Learn about Capturing Action through a Camera Lens with Sports Photographer
Hear from Sony Artisan of Imagery Jean Fruth, for whom the story of sports extends far beyond the field of play, where passion meets purpose. The technical side of capturing the action only scratches the surface, as it’s the stories behind the athletes, the cultures they embrace and the worldly issues bubbling under the surface that create the foundation of the body of work Jean has produced. And at the heart of it all is the longterm project. It is the crowning achievement for many artists—a tribute to dedication, preparation and a burning passion to uncover every corner of an untold story. For Jean, her longterm projects focused on women’s sports have cemented her legacy as not just one of the most highly regarded sports photographers, but also a filmmaker, author and storyteller for the ages. Join her as she guides you through her process to completing longterm projects and gives us an inside look at her latest work.

Opening Reception | Next Up: Ripples: Multi-Artist Show Exploring Personal Histories and Collective Memories
The 14 artists in the exhibition Next Up: Ripples explore the porous boundaries between personal histories and collective memories by way of drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography. Distilling the patterns from nature, home, and childhood, the works on view find comfort in the past while evaluating the structures that aim to organize or contain these moments. While such arbitrary edges may provide emotions and histories with a sense of scale and shape, they cannot fully contain the expansiveness of nature and human life. At its best, generalization offers helpful labels for identification and community, but it can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes by those seeking to justify harsh judgment or ignorance. These artists evaluate the role of boundaries in their own lives, questioning the human inclination to delineate thresholds rather than build bridges to cross them. Through acts of imagination, thoughtful study, and playful depictions, the works on view represent shared pursuits of a more empathetic world.

Opening Reception | Multimedia, Multi-Artist Exhibition on Sensory Overload: Only a God Can Save Us
BFA Visual and Critical Studies presents Only A God Can Save Us, an exhibition of multi-media work curated by BFA Visual and Critical Studies student Dylan Smith and featuring the work of faculty member Joey Gonnella, Nicholas Sanchez, Chloe Lesser, and Sam Stewart. What role does appropriated imagery play in a world of sensory overload? In response to this question, four artists from Generation Z currently working with reappropriated imagery will exhibit works critically engaging with the contemporary image and its role, expounding upon the longstanding tradition of appropriation within contemporary art through the utilization of a distinctly poetic approach to tonality. Rather than seeking reflexive distance or an ironic gaze, the works showcased demonstrate a uniquely vulnerable and, at times, spiritual approach to the art of the found image.

Opening Reception | New Works Exploring Science, Systems, and Humor
This solo exhibition features new works by Mark Dion, whose practice explores and challenges the structures of science, education, and cultural institutions. Using found objects, sculpture, and works on paper, Dion employs the visual language of museums, field guides, and instructional diagrams, only to undermine their authority with humor and ambiguity. The exhibition includes drawings of animals that mimic educational illustrations, blending familiar images with elusive or unstable meanings. Striking a balance between wit and critique, Dion’s work questions how systems of knowledge are built and whether their promised logic and truth still apply today.

Look Out is an exploration of long-distance mapping, aerial photography, and top-down and far-ranging perspectives—from pre–Civil War America to our vexed modern times of drone warfare, hyper-surveillance at home and abroad, and quarantine and protest. Blending history, reporting, personal experience, and accounts of activists, programmers, spies, astronauts, artists, inventors, and dreamers, Edward McPherson reveals that to see is to control—and the stakes are high for everyone.

Dance Performance | Live Electroacoustic Music & Contemporary Dance
Enjoy live performances from two artists: Bézier and Yeonju Ha. Electronic sound artist band Bézier will perform Access, an electroacoustic music–based sound performance that explores the technical and ontological meanings of the act of “access.” Through tactile–auditory transference using conductive objects, the detection of invisible signals via radio and noise, and spatial experiences created with multichannel speakers and lights, its five parts sensorially reconstruct moments in which reality and the virtual intersect. Access uses sound not as a mere background but as a medium for shaping a nonlinear terrain of time and sensation, inviting the audience to experience “reconnecting with the world” through listening. Contemporary dancer and choreographer Yeonju Ha will perform Vertebra, a work that focuses not on a perfected shape but on the fragile and persistent process of holding, collapsing, and rebuilding the body. Through these continual shifts, the piece reveals how instability itself can be a place of truth and resilience. The objects that appear onstage are closely connected to the dancer’s own body. They evoke fragments of structure, weight, and balance, functioning as extensions of the physical self. These objects create an additional layer of sensation, guiding viewers toward a deeper awareness of how the body remembers, adapts, and reassembles itself.

Performance | Multidisciplinary (Music & Theater) Performance by Vocalist Ohelen
Enjoy a Greta Oto performance by vocalist and performance artist Ohelen. Greta Oto is both a singular character and a form of narrative itself, explored through solo performance. The performer moves continuously through fragments of memory, repeated phrases, and uncertain narrative structures, inviting audience projection rather than delivering a fixed message. Unresolved words, interrupted emotions, and moments that oscillate between stillness and movement appear vividly on stage. Audiences may experience the character as a "vanishing person" or see reflections of their own memories within her presence. Each performance introduces new episodes, allowing the work to expand continuously. The open structure encourages multiple interpretations, emphasizing the layered and ephemeral nature of the piece. Ohelen is a vocalist and performance artist whose work moves fluidly across music, theatre, and visual composition. Her practice is rooted in improvisation and mobility, expanding performance into an event that unfolds uniquely in each encounter. By engaging audiences as active participants, her works transform music into a ritualistic and communal experience.

Opening Reception | Multi-Artist Exhibition on Bodies & Souls in the Digital Age
This exhibition. Liquid Crystal Respawn, investigates the porous spaces between life and artifice. The artworks operate within a long lineage of performance as a method of testing the body’s thresholds: what can be outsourced, coded, automated, ritualized, or rebuilt. In these practices, inanimate forms become sites of emotional and spiritual projection, echoing ancient stories of golems—automata brought to life from clay through ritual intention. Only here, golems are not the soulless automata of Jewish folklore, but humans reconfigured. These tender, uncanny bodies emerge from tradition, memory, labor, and intimacy, and the bodies and souls of their artist makers. This continual cycle becomes a survival mechanism of collapse and reconstitution, as autonomic as the impulse to deactivate and then later reactivate a social media account. Together, these artists and their works resist narratives of human obsolescence by staging the posthuman as something sensorial and affective. Their work defends emotional life from within the liquid crystal display, inviting viewers to slow down and smell the digital flowers. Artists include Sadrie Alves, Dahlia Bloomstone, Clare Gatto, Kara Güt, Maya Man, Krysta Sa, and Asia Stewart.

Dance Performance | Contemporary Movement Dance & Artistic Performance
Experience two performances by artists Shin's People and NOLPLUS. The Shin's People dance performance Boisterous Bodies reinterprets the vibrant atmosphere and sensory character of Korean traditional markets through a contemporary movement language. From ajummas squatting beside large basins, to hands swiftly sorting goods on narrow stands, to the rhythmic call of “Golla-golla!” and the lively motions of the yeot seller, familiar market actions are transformed into new choreographic textures. The performers shape the market’s bustling warmth and collective energy into movement, exploring how the everyday bodies of today might become the embodied traditions of tomorrow. Through this process, familiar gestures become dance, and the breath of daily life is reborn onstage. NOLPLUS performance group's Yeonhee Gyeong piece visualizes the very process of imagination and creation, exploring the point where the temporality of tradition meets contemporary artistic vision. Drawing on the cyclical sense of time within traditional yeonhee (Korean folk performance) and its structure of ritual and play, the piece expresses the flow of time through rhythm and movement. The stage is built upon the archetypal structure of traditional performance, presenting a yeonhee world that traverses the four seasons and culminates in a transcendent fifth season.”

Enjoy Seon-ah Jo's La Plante Dansante de Désastres, a performative practice in which the performer perceives the instrument as the body—or the body as an instrument. The performer projects herself, an East Asian female body, onto the gayageum, a traditional Korean string instrument. The connectivity between instrument and body expands both inward and outward, resisting or reenacting the duties imposed upon the female body while attending to the unnamed strata of sound that reside beneath the surface. Seon-ah Jo is an interdisciplinary artist and performer whose work moves fluidly across music, movement, and sound art. She treats the gestures and sounds generated by her Gayageum-playing body as equal artistic languages.

Enjoy a Greta Oto performance by vocalist and performance artist Ohelen. Greta Oto is both a singular character and a form of narrative itself, explored through solo performance. The performer moves continuously through fragments of memory, repeated phrases, and uncertain narrative structures, inviting audience projection rather than delivering a fixed message. Unresolved words, interrupted emotions, and moments that oscillate between stillness and movement appear vividly on stage. Audiences may experience the character as a "vanishing person" or see reflections of their own memories within her presence. Each performance introduces new episodes, allowing the work to expand continuously. The open structure encourages multiple interpretations, emphasizing the layered and ephemeral nature of the piece. Ohelen is a vocalist and performance artist whose work moves fluidly across music, theatre, and visual composition. Her practice is rooted in improvisation and mobility, expanding performance into an event that unfolds uniquely in each encounter. By engaging audiences as active participants, her works transform music into a ritualistic and communal experience.

Dance Performance | Contemporary Movement Dance & Artistic Performance
Experience two performances by artists Shin's People and NOLPLUS. The Shin's People dance performance Boisterous Bodies reinterprets the vibrant atmosphere and sensory character of Korean traditional markets through a contemporary movement language. From ajummas squatting beside large basins, to hands swiftly sorting goods on narrow stands, to the rhythmic call of “Golla-golla!” and the lively motions of the yeot seller, familiar market actions are transformed into new choreographic textures. The performers shape the market’s bustling warmth and collective energy into movement, exploring how the everyday bodies of today might become the embodied traditions of tomorrow. Through this process, familiar gestures become dance, and the breath of daily life is reborn onstage. NOLPLUS performance group's Yeonhee Gyeong piece visualizes the very process of imagination and creation, exploring the point where the temporality of tradition meets contemporary artistic vision. Drawing on the cyclical sense of time within traditional yeonhee (Korean folk performance) and its structure of ritual and play, the piece expresses the flow of time through rhythm and movement. The stage is built upon the archetypal structure of traditional performance, presenting a yeonhee world that traverses the four seasons and culminates in a transcendent fifth season.”

Performance | The Body as an Instrument, La Plante Dansante de Désastres Performance
Enjoy Seon-ah Jo's La Plante Dansante de Désastres, a performative practice in which the performer perceives the instrument as the body—or the body as an instrument. The performer projects herself, an East Asian female body, onto the gayageum, a traditional Korean string instrument. The connectivity between instrument and body expands both inward and outward, resisting or reenacting the duties imposed upon the female body while attending to the unnamed strata of sound that reside beneath the surface. Seon-ah Jo is an interdisciplinary artist and performer whose work moves fluidly across music, movement, and sound art. She treats the gestures and sounds generated by her Gayageum-playing body as equal artistic languages.

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent.

But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

Reading | Publishers Weekly Writer Shares Her New Nonfiction Book, Nothing Random
Publishers Weekly writer/editor Gayle Feldman reads from her new book Nothing Random. Synopsis: At midcentury, everyone knew Bennett Cerf: witty, beloved, middle-aged panelist on What’s My Line? whom TV brought into America’s homes each week. But they didn’t know that the handsome, driven, paradoxical young man of the 1920s had vowed to become a great publisher and, a decade later, was. By then, he’d signed Eugene O’Neill, Gertrude Stein, and William Faulkner, and had fought the landmark censorship case that gave Americans the freedom to read James Joyce’s Ulysses. With his best friend and lifelong business partner Donald Klopfer, and other young Jewish entrepreneurs like the Knopfs and Simon & Schuster, Cerf remade the book business: what was published, and how. Using interviews with more than two hundred individuals, deeply researched archival material, and letters from private collections not previously available, this book brings Bennett Cerf to vibrant life.

Film | Charlie Chaplin's A Countess from Hong Kong (1967): Romantic Comedy with All-Star Cast
Tale of a shipboard romance between a diplomat and a Russian stowaway. Charlie Chaplin's last film. Director: Charlie Chaplin Cast: Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Sydney Chaplin, Tippi Hedren, Patrick Cargill Charlie Chaplin was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film. He became a worldwide icon through his screen persona, the Tramp, and is considered one of the film industry's most important figures. His career spanned more than 75 years, from his childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977. His films are characterised by slapstick combined with pathos, typified in the Tramp's struggles against adversity. Many contain social and political themes, as well as autobiographical elements. He received an Honorary Academy Award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century" in 1972, as part of a renewed appreciation for his work.

Opening Reception | Mixed Media Exhibition of Works by Konstantin Bokov Exploring the New York Cityscape
Enjoy the exhibit Konstantin Bokov’s Journey Through the New York Cityscape, which features a selection of works on paper and objects from the Kolodzei Art Foundation’s collection by the prominent mixed media artist, Konstantin Bokov, which offers a glimpse into his creative process and celebrates his artistic journey. Konstantin Bokov was born in Shostka, Ukraine, to the Soviet poet and songwriter, Victor Bokov, in 1940. Pursuing a career as an artist was encouraged by his family, and at a young age, he attended the Art Academy of Leningrad in St. Petersburg. After his studies, Bokov moved to Moscow, where he discovered the works of Vincent Van Gogh and knew he had found his calling. Feeling the urge for freedom and artistic expression, Bokov immigrated to New York City in 1974, where the atmosphere of the art world was on the brink of change. A talented draftsman, he is always drawing, capturing the energy and mood of a scene with his impressions and observations of the surroundings. With his vivid imagination, Bokov also utilizes paint, fabric, plastic, and everyday found objects to explore his creative ideas.

Film | Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat (2024): Documentary about the Cold War & Jazz Activism
United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup. Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo's leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today's geopolitical climate.

Book Discussion | Journalist Discusses Her New Book, Looted: Rescuing Italy’s Stolen Treasures
Italian American journalist Frances Vieta is in conversation with Roundtable member Linda Selman as she offers a rare glimpse into the complexities of the art world’s dark underbelly. Vieta will discuss her new book, Looted: Rescuing Italy’s Stolen Treasures. You will learn of the shadowy network of tomb robbers and the corrupt smugglers and dealers exploiting Italy’s ancient archaeological sites and New York City’s prestigious art galleries and museums. In 1973, the $1 million purchase of the Euphronios Krater by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art persuaded Vieta, a young journalist fresh from college, to join forces with Rodolfo Siviero, Italy’s renowned art recovery expert, and the Carabinieri Art Squad. Their decades-long mission to identify and rescue priceless artifacts involved history, drama, danger, and legal battles. Vieta will sign copies of the book after the presentation.

Lecture | Historian Discusses Libertinism in 18th-Century Russia & Europe (In Person AND Online!)
This talk, based on a forthcoming book about three generations of the Beloselskii family, is a reflection on whether these aristocrats’ sexual licentiousness could be seen as a form of libertinism. References to illicit liaisons practiced by the Russian elite, to sexual licentiousness and sexual abuse abound on the pages of eighteenth-century letters and diplomatic dispatches, diaries, and police reports. There was much that was cruel and absurd about these episodes – and occasionally comic, too. The stories of eighteenth-century debauchery were often used for othering Russia vis-à-vis Western Europe, but this was the Libertine Age across all of Europe. Igor Fedyukin is the Associate Professor of History at ShanghaiTech University in Shanghai, China. A historian of early modern Russia and a historian of education, he is the former founding Director of the Center for History of Modern Russia at HSE University (Moscow) and the author of The Enterprisers: The Politics of School in Early Modern Russia, in addition to numerous edited volumes.

Tale of a shipboard romance between a diplomat and a Russian stowaway. Charlie Chaplin's last film. Director: Charlie Chaplin Cast: Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Sydney Chaplin, Tippi Hedren, Patrick Cargill Charlie Chaplin was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film.

He received an Honorary Academy Award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century" in 1972, as part of a renewed appreciation for his work.

Concert | Indie-Folk Music with River Whyless
Halli Anderson, Daniel Shearin, Ryan O'Keefe, and Alex McWalters are River Whyless, a band from Asheville, North Carolina whose music sits between folk, indie, and something harder to define. The group's recent NPR Tiny Desk and their showcase appearances at The Newport Folk Festival and Bonnaroo have earned them an avid audience drawn to their reputation for thoughtful songwriting, surprising arrangements, and lush harmonies. The band's most recent album, Monoflora, is a conversation between River Whyless's four distinct voices, charting a winding collective pathway between tradition and experimentation, between the familiar and the unexpected. River Whyless will play music from their forthcoming new LP and from throughout their career. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Tuesday before the event at noon.

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors
In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent.

Reading | NYT Journalist Shares His New Book, Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants
In this conversation about Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants, author Erik Piepenburg takes us on a culinary tour of spaces filled with joy, sex, sorrow, activism, and nostalgia, joined by colleagues from the food world Florent Morellet, Telly Justice, and Camille Lindsley. Dining Out explores how gay people came of age, came out, and fought for their rights not just in gay bars or the streets, but in restaurants. From cruisy urban cafeterias of the 1920s to mom-and-pop diners that fed the Stonewall generation to the intersectional hotspots of the early 21st century. Using archival material, original reporting and interviews, and first-person accounts, Erik Piepenburg explores how LGBTQ restaurants shaped and continue to shape generations of gay Americans.

Lecture | Expert Discusses Sokrates & the Athens Agora
In collaboration with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, lecturer John K. Papadopoulos, Director of Excavations at the Athenian Agora, discusses Sokrates while providing an update on some of the great philosopher's favorite and less favored haunts in the Agora, a commercial and political centre in Athens during the Classical period dating back approximately five thousands years. There are very few ancient individuals with the name recognition of Sokrates. Not bad for a person who never wrote anything! Papadopoulos reviews the life and death of this complex, avuncular character, visiting some of his favorite haunts in the Agora — the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios, the House of Simon the Cobbler, amongst others — as well as some of his less favored including the putative “state prison.” In so doing, new evidence will be presented and older perspectives reviewed, providing a greater understanding of this fascinating, seminal figure in Western thought.

Together, they will reflect on the idea of a “New Enlightenment” for the Anthropocene era. As we confront the decline of biodiversity, the discussion will explore emerging forms of interdependence among human, animal, and plant life. Organizers will ask: How might the ways earlier societies and ecosystems co-adapted to climate pressures inform us today? Can we imagine a new social contract that would bring forth a more equitable coexistence between human and nonhuman worlds? How might an expanded sense of “the other” and a heightened awareness of contemporary vulnerabilities be translated into public policy? How can public engagement be designed to turn these concepts from ideals to actions?

Book Discussion | Russian Journalist Shares His new Book, The Dark Side of Earth
Enjoy a book talk by Mikhail Zygar about his new book, The Dark Side of the Earth: Russia’s Short-Lived Victory over Totalitarianism. Victoria Nuland will serve as the discussant of this session, which will be moderated by Elise Giuliano. From “one of Russia’s smartest and best-sourced” (The New York Times) reporters comes a gripping and urgent exploration of why the Soviet Union’s collapse was incomplete and the Cold War was never over—revealing the resurgence of imperialism in Russia and its current implications for the war in Ukraine. Russian-born journalist Mikhail Zygar offers a timely and compelling new approach on Russian history—one that rewrites everything we thought we knew about the fall of the Soviet Union—and argues that its ending is yet to come. Starting with the historic launch of the first human into space in April 1961, Zygar unravels a dramatic story of resistance, resilience, and resurgence that led to the Soviet Union’s dissolution—and the echoes of its legacy today. A must-read for anyone looking to understand the origins of modern Russian fascism, The Dark Side of the Eart” explores how imperial and nationalist ideas developed during the Soviet era and eventually gave rise to the current Putinist ideology. Zygar’s work is uniquely powerful—fueled by his personal ties to the Soviet era, access to historical archives, and interviews that crack open hidden truths, including several with individuals who had never before spoken on the record.

Book Discussion | Molly Jong-Fast Shares Her New Book, How To Lose Your Mother
Hear Molly Jong-Fast speak about her new book, How To Lose Your Mother: A Daughter’s Memoir, in conversation with Susan Shapiro. Mother-daughter relationships are complicated enough without being the daughter of Erica Jong, who famously invented the term “Zipless F*&%$” in her groundbreaking feminist novel Fear of Flying. With incredible honesty, Molly Jong-Fast, an accomplished writer in her own right, bravely navigates the confusion and grief of losing her mother to dementia in the same year she must deal with her husband’s cancer diagnosis. Anne Lamott writes, “Molly Jong-Fast’s memoir is mesmerizing, intimate, wise, unputdownable, crazily honest, heartbreaking, funny, illuminating—beautiful and painful at the same time, just like real life.” Jong-Fast will appear in conversation with Susan Shapiro, author and co-author of eighteen books, including the memoir Five Men Who Broke My Heart, recently optioned for a movie.

Opening Reception | Next Up: Tightrope: Multi-Artist Exhibition Exploring Connectednes
In Next Up: Tightrope, 13 artists aim to inform and inspire across bold, material-forward works in design, painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Spanning myriad topics, including the pace of contemporary life, historical texts, psychology, resistance, and self-definition, the exhibition prompts viewers to consider lessons taught by the past, emphasizing the interconnectedness of pattern (in both conceptual and visual respects), play, and introspection. In a world where physicality is increasingly disconnected from the mind, as evidenced by the rapid adoption of large language models and AI-generated images, the comprehension of humanity is being reconfigured with imagined and real perils all around. Through studies of cycles and stories across history, the work asserts that resilience comes from social connectedness, not isolated individualism. Approaching “what comes next” with a sense of hopeful optimism, these artists take on the challenges of creating work with clear-eyed determination in changing times.

Book Club | Discuss Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Participate in a group book discussion of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Heathcliff comes to the brooding mansion of Wuthering Heights as an orphan child. Cathy is the daughter of the wealthy family that takes him in. They are drawn together from the moment they meet, their love consuming, destructive, and full of desire. They cannot be together, and yet they cannot stay apart. The consequences will haunt generations. From the moment of his adoption by the Earnshaws, the foundling boy Heathcliff devotes himself to their young daughter Catherine. Growing up together, the two share a love that blossoms into romance, until Catherine's hurtful betrayal. But Heathcliff's emotions know no bounds and acknowledge no limits—not even death. Determined to secure the family estate of Wuthering Heights as his own, the tyrannical Heathcliff vents his bitterness on his and Catherine's heirs, manipulating lives and shaping destinies under the influence of a passion that has curdled into obsession.

Staged Reading | Mother Animal (Muttertier): Drama about Family Issues
The Goethe-Institut New York and Voyage Theater Company present the North American premiere of Leo Lorena Wyss' Mother Animal (Muttertier) within the Parts Unknown play reading series. Three siblings, one hospital room, and a lifetime of fish sticks and make-believe.

In this haunting exploration of role-reversal, the children who raised themselves must finally confront the legacy of a mother who struggled to stay afloat. Written by Leo Lorena Wyss.
