Staged Reading | Could You Patent the Sun?: Drama Inspired by the Life of Jonas Salk (Polio Vaccine Inventor)


This play explores the life and legacy of Dr. Jonas Salk, the visionary scientist who developed the polio vaccine and who famously refused to patent it, believing that life-saving knowledge should belong to everyone. With minimal staging and maximum impact, Galinsky fuses humor, grit, and heart to embody Salk as both a man and a mirror for our times. The 55-minute performance is an intimate theatrical experience that raises timely questions about science, compassion, innovation, and the human spirit: Who owns knowledge? Who profits from discovery? And what happens when compassion, not profit, drives innovation? Written by Robert Galinsky. Directed by Cory Michael Herman

Enjoy Shakespeare's songs brought to life in a beautiful quartet. An hour of music and Shakespeare filled with love, heartbreak, and hope. Shakespeare alludes to or includes the text of well over one hundred songs in his works. Music was an integral part of Elizabethan life, as it is today.

This discussion will excavate the shared frameworks of meaning that underpin the multifaceted, multidimensional and medium-fluid works that result.

Talk | Learn about Antisemitism & Video Games


Hear a fascinating discussion by Jewish Studies scholar Joshua Lambert on his research on antisemitism and violence in online games. For almost half a century, popular, commercial video games have made it the player's task to kill Nazis. Why did Jewish characters not appear as victims, Allied soldiers, or resistance fighters in such games throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, and why did they begin appearing in those roles, suddenly, in the mid-2010s? It was only after Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds (2009) that commercial game developers began to include Jews and Jewishness prominently in their Nazi-killing simulators. Examining entries in the Wolfenstein series, and touching briefly on Call of Duty: WWII, this talk demonstrates Tarantino's singular and not necessarily salutary influence on video games, and explains one unsettling way that Jewishness figures in the most popular contemporary cultural medium.

Book Discussion | Author & Journalist Svetlana Satchkova Shares Her New Novel, The Undead


Experience a book talk by Svetlana Satchkova about her new novel,  The Undead: A Novel of Modern Russia. Svetlana Satchkova is a Russian-born journalist and novelist who immigrated to the United States in 2016. She covers culture and politics, with bylines in the Rumpus, Newsweek, LARB, the Independent, and others. In this darkly funny and emotionally resonant novel of contemporary Russia, a young filmmaker unexpectedly finds herself targeted by an authoritarian regime—despite her best efforts to stay out of politics. The Undead is a layered and sharply observant portrait of an artist caught in the machinery of state power, and the choices one faces in a system where even indifference can be dangerous.  When Maya, a young Russian filmmaker, makes a low-budget horror movie, it seems like a promising start to her indie film career. But her jokey lo-fi picture soon attracts the attention of the autocratic state, and Maya is swept into a nightmarish system where logic breaks down, and no one is safe.

Workshop | Korean Lunar New Year Cooking Class (Beginners Welcome)


Celebrate Lunar New Year, Seollal, through one of Korea’s most meaningful traditions—food. Led by Korean cooking instructor Jiyoung Park, the workshop features tteokguk (rice cake soup) and kimchi mandu (dumplings), dishes traditionally enjoyed on Seollal to welcome the New Year with wishes for renewal, longevity, and good fortune. Participants will learn how to prepare these comforting dishes while discovering the cultural stories and values behind Korean New Year food traditions. Jiyoung’s teaching philosophy is inspired by Dure, a traditional Korean system of collective labor practiced in farming villages. Rooted in the idea of sharing the burden, Dure emphasizes cooperation, mutual support, and community. In this workshop, participants will cook side by side—sharing tasks, learning collaboratively, and experiencing Korean food culture through the spirit of togetherness that defines both Seollal and Korean culinary traditions.

This talk explores the entanglement of militarism, imperialism, and liberal-democratic governance in Kenya today, asking what a view from East Africa can tell us about the shifting configurations and lived realities of post 9/11 imperial warfare.  Examining the cultural politics of security, anthropology scholar Samar Al-Bulushi illustrates that the Kenyan war against the militant group Al-Shabaab has become a means to produce new imaginaries and subjectivities about Kenya's place in the world. Meanwhile, Kenya's alignment with the U.S. government provides cover for the criminalization and policing of the country's Muslim minority population.

Discussion | Art, Politics, Hip Hop, & Activism Talk with Congressman Jamaal Bowman


Jamaal Bowman shares his journey from the East River Houses to Congress in a conversation on art, politics, hip hop, and activism. Weaving together politics, hip hop, and his personal path from the East River Houses to becoming an educator, activist, and Congressman, Jamaal Bowman partakes in a conversation on the connections between the struggle against oppression and art today. In the face of fascism and oligarchy, it is more urgent than ever to understand what is happening and to fight back. Jamaal Bowman has led that fight on any number of fronts, past, present, and future. His work as an educator and his advocacy on behalf of working-class parents and students of color, led him to unseat a 16-term incumbent to become a Congressman. In office, he led on fights for education, labor rights, and climate action, and against war and genocide. Unseated after two terms in the most expensive Congressional primary in American history, Bowman will reflect on continuing the struggle, on every level, to save our democracy and create justice.

Talk | Artists Discuss Citywide On the Flip Side Exhibition


This talk explores On the Flip Side, a citywide exhibition that transforms JCDecaux bus shelters across New York City, Chicago, and Boston into sites for intimate photographic encounters. In this event, each of the artists will reflect on what it means for deeply personal images—rooted in family, heritage, gender identity, material value, and aspiration—to appear in spaces typically reserved for advertising, and how public circulation reshapes their meaning.  Moderated by Public Art Fund Assistant Curator Jenée-Daria Strand, the talk centers on the practices of Kennedi Carter, Lougè Delcy, Camila Falquez, Ruby Okoro, Dana Scruggs, and Juan Veloz—artists whose commercial work defines our contemporary moment, capturing celebrities for global platforms. Meanwhile, their fine art practices–often seen in museums and galleries–foreground tenderness and interiority, with ties to contemporary and historic cultural narratives. The discussion will examine how these photographers navigate the boundary between commercial and fine art production, and how On the Flip Side “flips” expectations by foregrounding their personal visions within the cityscape of New York, Boston and Chicago.

Discussion | Food Studies Expert Marion Nestle Shares Her New Book, What To Eat Now


Author Marion Nestle is the co-founder of NYU's pioneering food studies program, as well as the author of important nutrition bestsellers such as Food Politics and Safe Food. In What to Eat Now, she takes the reader--aisle by aisle--through the American supermarket. Using wit and common sense, she establishes the basics of good nutrition, food safety, and ethical and sustainable eating, and gives readers a close-up look at the web of interests that food has to navigate before it gets to your shopping basket. Chef Jose Andres calls Nestle "an inspiration", while Nik Sharma (The Flavor Equation) says this latest book "should be required reading for anyone who eats."

Classical Music | Piano Works by Gershwin & Radical Viennese Composers


Conductor and pianist Levi Hammer bridges Gershwin and Viennese modernism in a solo piano concert exploring American jazz roots and radical composers with the Second Viennese School: Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern, the Austrian pioneers of musical modernism. The program brings American popular idioms into dialogue with the radical innovations that emerged from early 20th-century Vienna, revealing unexpected resonances across style, geography, and tradition. More than a historical exploration, the evening also serves as a musical autobiography of Levi Hammer, uniting his American roots with his ongoing European artistic journey. At the piano, Hammer creates a bridge between worlds. Between jazz-inflected American soundscapes and the rigorous, expressive language shaped in Vienna.

Book Discussion | Media Scholars Discuss the Concept of the Double in Hindi Cinema


Media experts discuss Storytelling in Hindi Cinema, a book that seeks to understand the distinctive character of Hindi Cinema through the figure of the double. The double, in the form of the star playing identical twins or look-alikes, or assuming more than one persona, is an ubiquitous feature of post- independence Hindi cinema that continues into contemporary Bollywood. In confounding recognition, the double poses the question of identity, the difficulty of telling who’s who and who belongs to whom, which inevitably reaches beyond the personal to the political, to questions of family, class, nation, gender and sexuality, and allows for the negotiation of conflicting impulses or social identities in the manner of myth. Furthermore, the double serves to articulate performance with narratio,n though the role play, deception, and imposture that is common to melodrama and comedy alike.

Talk | Explore Gender & Art in Post-Soviet Ukraine (In Person AND Online!)


Ukrainian-born art historian and curator Alisa Lozhkina examines how the post-Soviet art world's promise of freedom conceals enduring hierarchies and gendered inequities. This talk explores the labor of art in light of gender inequalities within the Ukrainian contemporary art sphere. Born in Ukraine, Alisa Lozhkina entered the contemporary art milieu at twenty-one, drawn to the ethos of freedom and transgression embodied by a slightly older cohort. Her attraction lay not in the artistic production itself, but in the proposition of an alternative mode of existence characterized by the subversion of conventional routines.

Rather than positing a single narrative, the exhibition presents a constellation of perspectives and ideas.

Lecture | Scholar Discusses the Figure of the Imposter in Weimar Art & Literature


This lecture by Professor Nicola Gess explores literature as a laboratory of the social imaginary, taking the impostor as its central case study. Across novels, self-help manuals, daily newspapers, psychology, sociology, and criminology, the figure of the impostor emerges as a pervasive presence in the Weimar Republic, ranging from the charming rogue to the cynical power-player. Tracing the conditions that enabled this proliferation, the lecture examines the role literature played in shaping and disseminating the impostor figure and explores its broader significance for the interwar period - an emblematic figure through which a crises-ridden society came to recognize itself.

Book Discussion | Gil Z. Hochberg Shares Her New Memoir, My Father, The Messiah


Enjoy a reading and discussion with Gil Z. Hochberg (Ransford Professor of Hebrew and Visual Studies, Comparative Literature, and Middle East Studies) on her newest book, My Father, The Messiah. Mikhal Dekel (Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature at the CUNY Graduate Center and the City College of New York) will join in conversation. In her memoir My Father, the Messiah, Hochberg traces a father-daughter relationship as it transforms across decades—from intense closeness in childhood to a fraught distance as Hochberg’s father Yossi becomes increasingly convinced that he is the Messiah. After building a career as a statistician in the US, Yossi returns to Israel and becomes an avid Zionist, while having several psychotic episodes. Hochberg reconstructs her relationship with her father through an archive of letters between the two, as well as her father’s personal writings, painting a tender portrait of the non-normative family life within which Hochberg’s queer identity unfolds and a heart-rending account of her father’s mental decline. Hochberg crafts a powerful story of intimacy and loss that dovetails with sea changes in Israel’s religious and political environment since the 1990s.

Book Discussion | Biographer Discusses Life & Legacy of Holocaust Survivor Gary "Pips" Phillips (In Person AND Online!)


Follow the extraordinary life of Holocaust survivor Gary "Pips" Phillips--whose life was shaped by survival and reinvention, through a discussion with her biographer. Born to an Aryan mother and Jewish father, Gary "Pips" Phillips could have avoided much of the Holocaust's impact. Instead, at age thirteen he chose to have a bar mitzvah just as the Nuremberg Laws took effect. Drawing on Pips's recordings and years of research, Georgette Bennett--sociologist, author, and Pips's cousin-in-law--traces his journey through escapes, rescues, and life in hiding before he emerged from the war to build a new life in America, rising from waiter to co-owner of one of the world's largest photo agencies. Bennett's biography is a detailed account of a remarkable life marked by survival, determination, and the challenges of rebuilding after trauma.

Most of the park was largely untouched by wars and development. The park features a hiking trail and the Hudson River Bike Trail, and is one of the best places in NYC to spot a bald eagle. It also includes athletic fields, playgrounds, dog runs, and a barbecue area. The course is three loops on hilly trails and walkways through woods and along a salt marsh.

Discussion | Creatives Reflect on Robert Rauschenberg's Impact on the Stage & Dance History


This conversation revolves around artists' creative intersections, reflecting on Robert Rauschenberg's impact on the stage, and the vital role of archives in preserving and reimagining dance history. As part of Robert Rauschenberg's centennial celebrations, hear a conversation exploring the artist's creative relationships with Trisha Brown and Merce Cunningham and the lasting impact of their collaborations on both dance and visual art. Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) was a highly influential American artist known for breaking boundaries between painting and sculpture, famously creating "Combines" that integrated everyday objects like newspapers, photographs, and stuffed animals into artworks, bridging art and life and challenging Abstract Expressionism to pave the way for Pop Art and Postmodernism. He worked across numerous mediums, including painting, printmaking, photography, and performance, becoming a key figure in post-war American art. Moderated by Merce Cunningham Trust Scholar-in-Residence Nancy Dalva, this talk brings together leaders who now steward and shape those legacies: Carolyn Lucas, Associate Artistic Director, Trisha Brown Dance Company Andrea Weber, Director of Licensing and Operations Manager, Merce Cunningham Trust Francine Snyder, Director of Archives, Robert Rauschenberg Foundation

Concert | Improvised Music Exploring Memory, Sound, & Identity in Rwandan Culture


This event is a site-specific, improvisational performance exploring the intersections of memory, sound, and identity. Building on a partnership established in 2017, Rwandan artist 1Key and German collective Sounding Situations bridge Rwandan heritage with contemporary experimental forms to challenge colonial legacies and reclaim the power of self-definition. Rejecting traditional performance hierarchies, the project transforms space into an immersive acoustic environment. 1Key’s multilingual poetry and guitar looping merge with Milena Kipfmüller’s experimental compositions. There is no script; the performance relies on instant discourse, creating a narrative where archival recordings dating back to 1907 and live composition coexist.

Author Reading | Author & Illustrator Duo Share Their New Children's Book, Emily Saw a Door


Celebrate the launch of Emily Saw a Door with author Mel Rosenberg and illustrator Orit Magia. Knock, knock. Who’s there? It’s me, Emily. May I come in? And so begins Emily’s search for a door that will open. The first door is blue, and the voice behind the door tells Emily that she doesn’t sound very bluish. The second door says it only opens for tigers, crocodiles, and snakes. But she is a girl named Emily– and the animals are hungry–and so she moves on. The third is only for people who speak very quietly, and the door can hear Emily. Finally, Emily comes to a place without a door. She gets out her chalk and draws one, then adds a doorknob, and goes right in. And when someone knocks on her door, she says, “The door is open!” Here is a wonderful book about inclusion, acceptance, and opening doors for others.

Screening | L.A. Rebellion Film Movement Films from Ethiopian Filmmaker Haile Gerima


This program amplifies the work of Ethiopian filmmaker Haile Gerima, whose filmography dates back to the 1970’s. By the time Gerima graduated from film school at UCLA in 1976, he had made four films and alongside his peers at UCLA, would be canonized among a generation of contemporary Black filmmakers that rejected classic Hollywood Cinema in favor of Latin American, African, and European cinematic approaches. Today, Gerima’s films and those by his peers Charles Burnett, Julie Dash, among others, are now referred to as the L.A. Rebellion Film Movement. This program will feature two films from this movement, beginning with Gerima’s 1973 short, A Child of Resistance, a film that depicts the social imprisonment of a Black woman. Next, we will screen Gerima’s 1993 feature-length film, Sankofa, which follows a model (Oyafunmike Ogunlano) who after encountering a mystic, travels into the past and becomes enslaved.

Among them is Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, frustrated to find himself sidelined while recovering from a dangerous wound he recently received in Paris. When the mutilated corpse of Major Miles Sedgewick surfaces from the murky waters of the Thames, Sebastian is drawn into the investigation of a murder that threatens one of his oldest and dearest friends, Irish surgeon Paul Gibson.

Discussion | Experts Discuss Brazil's Political Future


This panel examines Brazil’s political, social, and economic challenges as the country prepares for the 2026 elections amid polarization, violence, and shifting global pressures. Brazil stands at the precipice of a critical and challenging year. In October 2026, 79-year old Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will run for president for his fourth term as president after a tumultuous period in Brazilian history that included a presidential impeachment, the right-wing populist presidency in Jair Bolsonaro, and a coup attempt. After winning the 2022 elections by a narrow margin, Da Silva’s allies were widely turned out of office in the 2024 municipal elections. International political and trade tensions with the US have further complicated matters domestically. Crime and violence continue to affect the country, most notably with the recent murder of 120 at the hands of police on the north side of Rio de Janeiro.

Concert | Experts Discuss Flamenco Music's History in the Village (In Person AND Online!)


Attend a discussion of flamenco's rich history in "the Village." Flamenco scholar K. Meira Goldberg and cultural historian Elijah Wald (author of Dylan Goes Electric!) explore how "the Village" became a hub of artistic experimentation -- the birthplace of the Beat Generation, the 1960s counterculture, and various avant-garde movements. They discuss its rich tapestry of urban bohemia, where small presses, art galleries, and theater and music venues flourished, giving rise to an alternative culture including the queer movement and a thriving flamenco scene, which developed alongside the more famous folk scene. Goldberg is a flamenco performer, choreographer, teacher, and author of Sonidos Negros: On the Blackness of Flamenco. Wald is a musician and writer whose book about Bob Dylan served as the inspiration for the film A Complete Unknown.

Lecture | Architect & Urban Conservationist Explores the Indian Architecture Landscape (In Person AND Online!)


Architect and urban conservationist Brinda Somaya draws on her decades of experience to explore the idea that architecture is not just about buildings and aesthetics but also about people, politics and social responsibility. In conversation with architects Jeanne Gang and Billie Tsien and CEO of World Monuments Fund (WMF) Benedicte de Montlaur, Somaya will explore how new buildings can arise from historic settings, honoring the past while meeting the needs of the present and future. Together, they will reflect on the architect's role, underscoring how thoughtful design can bridge heritage conservation and community engagement. Shaped by Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Islamic, colonial, and modernist traditions, India's built environment reflects centuries of cultural exchange and transformation. Today, architects in South Asia work across an extraordinary range of contexts--from informal settlements to heritage sites and from major corporate headquarters to public buildings. The region's architects navigate stark social and economic divides, with projects spanning conservation, cutting-edge design and grassroots engagement.

Book Discussion | Art Scholar Cat Dawson Shares Their New Book, Monumental


Professor and author Cat Dawson explores the shifting role of monuments in our culture, from those that have been recently toppled, to novel investigations of the form by a new generation of artists interested in how symbolic structures can be made and what stories they can tell. For centuries, monuments have telegraphed the values and origin myths of dominant culture in public space and on massive scale. They have signaled both who is part of a culture and who is not, often overlooking histories that complicate the stories they tell. Yet in the last 50 years in the United States, the role of monuments has changed significantly. Numerous historical monuments have been removed or toppled, bringing to the fore a long-repressed conversation about the relationship between the monumental landscape and national identity. In Monumental, Cat Dawson takes up the social, political, and art historical causes and ramifications of this important shift.

Book Discussion | Scholar Shares His New Nonfiction Book, Who's Allowed To Protest?


Enjoy a conversation with scholar, author, and academic Bruce Robbins to celebrate the release of his new book, Who's Allowed to Protest? Who's Allowed to Protest? is the essential guide for understanding why some political voices are amplified, others are silenced, and how the fight over “who’s too elite” to dissent will determine our democratic fates. Why do charges of “privilege” haunt every new protest wave? In this electrifying blend of short history and manifesto, Columbia University professor Bruce Robbins picks apart the insult that demonstrators are merely elite status-seekers—and shows why the same complaints surfaced against Vietnam-era marchers, Iraq War protesters, and, most recently, the Gaza encampments that shook campuses nationwide.

Beginning with Holiday's traumatic youth, the film depicts her early attempts at a singing career and her eventual rise to stardom, as well as her difficult relationship with Louis McKay, her boyfriend and manager.

They became Motown's most successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. Ross has also achieved mainstream success and recognition as an actress. Her first role was her Golden Globe Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Billie Holiday in the film Lady Sings the Blues (1972), becoming the first African-American actress to receive an Academy Award nomination for a debut film performance; she also recorded its soundtrack, which became her only solo album to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

Known for reaching a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential comedians of all time.

Discussion | Trailblazing Designer Shares His New Book, Storyteller: Tales from a Fashion Insider (+ Signing)


Meet the designer who built a $100 million sportswear empire in under five years and turned his creative vision into a multi-decade, multi-category business. This fireside chat with internationally recognized fashion designer and entrepreneur Jeffrey Banks followed by a book signing celebrating his book, Storyteller: Tales from a Fashion Insider. Moderated by Bridget Foley, former Executive Editor of WWD. Banks pioneered the concept of "spectator sportswear" and scaled it to $100 million in less than five years. Banks understood early what many designers resist: that commercial success doesn't compromise creativity, it amplifies impact. What followed was a masterclass in brand architecture: licensing deals in Japan, private label development for Bloomingdale's, the first brand extension for Johnnie Walker, and product categories spanning menswear, womenswear, and home decor for HSN. Banks is a pioneering designer who helped redefine American fashion at a time when few in the industry looked like him. Rising to prominence in the 1970s, he was among the first and few Black designers to enter fashion's upper echelons, challenging barriers with creativity and conviction. His work opened doors for generations of designers who followed, showing that what can be imagined can be made real. In this session, Banks will share candid insights on scaling creative businesses, navigating licensing and brand extensions, and the strategic decisions that turned design talent into commercial success. His career offers a blueprint for building sustainable fashion enterprises across categories and decades.

Screening | Lewerentz Divine Darkness (2024): Documentary on Iconic Architect (+ Filmmaker Discussion/Q&A) (In Person AND Online!)


Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) is internationally renowned as one of Sweden's greatest architects, but due to his aversion to being interviewed and recorded, he has long been shrouded in mystery. Recently, however, a treasure trove of film and sound recordings of the ageing Lewerentz was found in a cellar in Lund, and it's these recordings that form the basis of this captivating documentary. Lewerentz Divine Darkness is a unique portrait of this enigmatic figure of 20th century architecture, whose work still resonates and inspires today. This screening will be introduced by Stefan Hansen, the Swedish Cultural Counselor to the U.S., and Sven Blume, the director of Lewerentz Divine Darkness (2024).

ABbout the book: Eleven-year-old Birdy and her younger brother, Mouse, have always looked out for each other. They make the perfect team: Birdy is realistic and practical, while Mouse is affable and trusting.

Aunt Mitzie and Uncle Shadow’s house is full of organized chaos, and it takes Birdy time to adjust to having adults around. But the kitchen is always stocked, and both kids are allowed to play outside as often as they want. There’s only one problem: it’s all temporary. Their social worker has promised to find them a permanent home by the next school year, whether they want to leave or not. As the summer unfolds, Mouse starts to feel attached to their new life. But Birdy knows better—adults have never been reliable. When Birdy’s fears get the best of her, she makes a big mistake that could jeopardize their future.

Performance | Waiting for Pangea: Verbatim Theater Project


What happens when we live between worlds and dare to tell the truth from that place? This devised therapeutic verbatim performance explores displacement in all its forms: migration and exile; living between cultures, identities, homes, relationships, and parts of the self. Drawing from real stories and lived experience, the piece weaves together literal, remembered, and imagined journeys. Bridging verbatim theater with a therapeutic framework, the project invites the audience to witness where stories are held in the in-between, carried together, and allowed to unfold.

Performance | Waiting for Pangea: Verbatim Theater Project


What happens when we live between worlds and dare to tell the truth from that place? This devised therapeutic verbatim performance explores displacement in all its forms: migration and exile; living between cultures, identities, homes, relationships, and parts of the self. Drawing from real stories and lived experience, the piece weaves together literal, remembered, and imagined journeys. Bridging verbatim theater with a therapeutic framework, the project invites the audience to witness where stories are held in the in-between, carried together, and allowed to unfold.

Workshop | Community Park 5K Run with New York Road Runners


New york Road Runners host a 5K community-led run,open to runners and walkers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. Evidence of Inwood Hill Park’s formation exists as caves, valleys, and ridges left as the result of shifting glaciers. Evidence of its uninhabited state afterward remains as its forest and salt marsh (the last natural one in Manhattan), and evidence of its use by Native Americans continues to be discovered. Most of the park was largely untouched by wars and development. The park features a hiking trail and the Hudson River Bike Trail, and is one of the best places in NYC to spot a bald eagle. It also includes athletic fields, playgrounds, dog runs, and a barbecue area. The course is three loops on hilly trails and walkways through woods and along a salt marsh.

Dance Performance | Explore Flamenco History in NYC & See a Live Performance


To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Flamenco Festival New York, enjoy a lecture by Jose Javier Leon on La Argentinita and the intersections of flamenco, Lorca, and Spanish cultural identity. The lecture will be followed by a live performance with artists who are also participating in the 25th anniversary of Flamenco Festival New York, bringing La Argentinita's legacy to life through the very art form she helped transform. In February 1930, three friends converged in New York City: the singer and bailaora Encarnacion Lopez Julvez--known as La Argentinita, one of the most influential Spanish artists of the 20th century; her partner, the bullfighter, writer, and impresario Ignacio Sanchez Mejias; and the poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who had been living at Columbia University since June 1929. During those days, Encarna performed in several of the city's theaters, Ignacio lectured on bullfighting, and Lorca on poetry. But more importantly, in New York, they conceived ideas and collaborations that would reshape the future of flamenco, expanding its expressive possibilities and projecting it onto international stages. The city became, through them, a catalyst for new forms--bridging flamenco with ballet, Spanish song, and modern artistic experimentation.

Book Discussion | Biographer Shares Her New Book, Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life (In Person AND Online!)


A new biography of the feminist pioneer, written by Ellen Carol DuBois, explores Stanton’s legacy. DuBois, in conversation with legal scholar Julie Suk, discusses the reformer whose words still provoke—and whose struggles helped shape contemporary feminism. In Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life, historian Ellen Carol DuBois presents a definitive portrait of one of the most influential figures in the American struggles for women’s suffrage and rights. From the 1840s until her death in 1902, Stanton fought for women’s emancipation, advocating on issues that went far beyond the vote. Drawing on archival research and Stanton’s writings, DuBois traces her advocacy for reproductive rights, marriage reform, and challenges to religious hierarchies, while also examining Stanton’s conflicts with Black reformers and her support of nativist ideas—highlighting the contradictions that continue to complicate her legacy.

Book Discussion | Biographer Discusses Her New Book on Artist John Singer Sargent


Biographer Jean Strouse speaks about her book, Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers, In 1897, Asher Wertheimer, a British art dealer, began to commission John Singer Sargent's largest private project: twelve stunning portraits of his socially prominent Jewish family. The result was a significant and distinctive artistic series, as the Times' critic wrote: "more than a group of family portraits, and something besides a little set of great masterpieces of painting". In this incisive account, celebrated biographer Jean Strouse (Morgan: American Financier) portrays the intersection of two outsiders' lives -- Singer Sargent, an expatriate artist, and Wertheimer, a wealthy "Anglo-Jew"-- during England's Edwardian age, amidst "the dazzle and unease of a world in flux". Strouse, a winner of the Bancroft Prize, was the director of the famed Cullman Center at the New York Public Library from 2003 to 2017.

Book Discussion | Learn about the History of Letterforms with Alphabet in Motion Author Kelli Anderson (In Person AND Online!)


Paper engineer and graphic designer Kelli Anderson reveals the technologies and philosophies that have shaped letterforms as captured in her immersive pop-up book, Alphabet in Motion, in this interactive evening also featuring her friend and collaborator Camilo Otero. Type history is often technical and always visual. It is therefore challenging to fully explain in text or in diagrams alone. The book's interactive features provide a sensory inroad for curious general readers to grasp how typography has transformed through history (and how lettering can convey a point of view or philosophical stance). A 128-page companion essay section includes an essay further contextualizing each pop-up. Alphabet in Motion puts the reader's hands, eyes and minds in touch with the meanings behind the typography that surrounds us in our homes, on our screens and on our streets. If you look carefully, you can see the history of the world―from the Bronze Age to the Information Age―in the microcosm of type.

Book Discussion | Historian-Curators Share Their New Books Exploring American Art & Architecture


The work of historian-curators Gregory Dreicer (American Bridge) and Stephanie Sparling Williams (Toward Joy) invites people to view the history and culture of the United States in fresh ways. By focusing on the intersecting worlds of the multiracial and multiethnic America-makers who invented the iconography and infrastructure of the United States, Dreicer and Sparling Williams portray the figurative and literal construction of a nation. Dreicer explores the image of the US at home and abroad through architecture and bridge building—and the stories we’ve been told about them. Dreicer reveals who was involved in the prototyping of construction strategies that were called “American” and enabled the transformation of the designed environment on a global scale. Sparling Williams examines how historic American visual artists have shaped our perceptions of national identity and belonging through their creative practices. She also considers how institutional collections of American art are built, whose creative output has been valued historically, and how ever-diversifying contemporary audiences experience and make sense of those narratives within museum galleries today. Discussion and Q&A to follow.

Set against the simmering tensions of a Chinese American community, Rosemead is a gripping portrait of a family pushed to the edge. Director: Eric Lin Cast: Lucy Liu, Lawrence Shou, Orion Lee, Jennifer Lim, Madison Hu Lucy Liu is an actress, producer, and artist. Widely regarded as a trailblazer for Asian American representation in Hollywood, she is the recipient of numerous accolades, including two Critics' Choice Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards.

Screening | Toxi (1952): West German Drama Film


After World War II, the well-off Rose family of Munich finds a five-year-old girl, Toxi, abandoned at their doorstep. The mixed-race daughter of an American G.I. and a now deceased German mother, Toxi's arrival inspires both empathy and suspicion in the Roses. It's only once she finds her place in the family that her father returns, expecting to bring Toxi back to America with him. One of the first German films to explore the experiences of Black children born during the occupation, Toxi features a title song by Marie Nejar, the Afro-German singer and actress to whom the exhibition is dedicated. Director: Robert A. Stemmle Cast: Elfie Fiegert, Paul Bildt, Johanna Hofer, Ingeborg Korner Artist James Gregory Atkinson will be joined by Yale University Assistant Professor of History of Art and Black Studies Nana Adusei-Poku to discuss the film.

Play | Houdini Speaks to the Living: Historically-Based Drama about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle & Houdini


The year is 1924, and the Great Houdini is taking his crusade against Spiritualism straight to the public in a series of lectures filled with theatrical magic- and seance-debunking. At the same time, his close friend Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, is lecturing on behalf of Spiritualism, believing this movement to represent "a great Philosophy" that will usher in a new age for mankind. Watch these two legends battle out the true nature of magic through a historically-based, largely verbatim play using original materials from University of Texas at Austin's Harry Ransom Center archives. The result is a 75-minute performance complete with spell-binding magic and potent reflections on the afterlife in a sharp debate from these iconic figures. Writers: Beth Burns & Patrick Terry Director: Beth Burns The performance will be followed by a Q&A with the creative team.

Performance | [el] Living: Visual Poetry, Live Music, & Heavy Scenes 


[el] LIVING is a visual theater piece that plays with image, movement, objects, and live music to create a fragile story in which dark topics and heavy scenes go hand in hand with humor and visual poetry. Two twin sisters and a man died a long time ago. Now they share a living room, unaware of their own passing and unaware of each other. Their bodies have been acting out the actions they know in a loop, deconstructing them to the point where they are empty and senseless. They are not ready—but death doesn’t want to wait any longer. In the process, we have played with the concepts of life, death, the passing of time and the joy of being alive, aspiring to share with the audience moments of profound humanity, fear, rage, and tenderness. For this project, twelve artists of different generations, six nationalities, and four different schools come together, offering their bodies and their own stories to this truly collaborative theater piece.

Party | Artistic Celebration of Celine Dion's Album, Falling Into You


Playwright and raconteur Inua Ellams invites you to his Rhythm And Poetry (R.A.P.) Party, featuring ten of New York's most gifted poets and spoken word artists in celebration of Celine Dion's breakout LP Falling Into You (1996). It's a voice that the world knows and the album that put her in the spotlight forever. Celine Dion's breakout LP Falling Into You (1996) blends pop, rock, soul, and gospel into a richly cinematic sound. Featuring unforgettable songs like Diane Warren and David Foster's "Because You Loved Me" and Jim Steinman's "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", the album acted as a showcase for Dion's dramatic emotional range and razor-sharp technical acumen. Falling ultimately sold over 32 million copies worldwide, won Dion Grammys for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Album, cemented her as the definitive voice of 1990s pop, and granted her undying status as a beloved diva and queer icon. Honoring the 30th anniversary of the seminal album, the Ellams hosts this party with artists sharing new works inspired by Dion's music and impact. Enjoy a nostalgia-filled night of power ballads, lyric poems, and a celebration of the transformative power of music. There are two ways to access this event: 1.

Set in New York City in October 2023, the play follows two young women whose bond is tested as certainty gives way to confusion, memory, and fear. Through sharp, naturalistic dialogue and moments of surreal imagery, the play explores what it means to belong—to a place, to a culture, and to each other. It asks how identity is shaped not only by where we are, but by what we carry with us: memory, responsibility, and love that stretches across distance. Written by Michael Valdes.

Author Reading | Criminal Justic Experts Share Their New Book on the U.S. Prison System, Ending Isolation: The Case Against Solitary Confinement


Experience a timely and thought-provoking dive into the U.S. prison system as seen through the eyes of CUNY tenured professor of law Deborah Zalesne (appearing in person) and award-winning journalist Christopher Blackwell (appearing via Zoom). Deborah Zalesne reads passages from Ending Isolation: The Case Against Solitary Confinement and leads a Q&A about the psychological harm and real-life consequences of our current incarceration system. Author Christopher Blackwell will call in from prison to answer questions and share a perspective rarely disclosed to the general public. About the book: The injustice, cruelty, and degradation that are so enmeshed within the U.S. carceral system find their barbaric apogee in the practice of solitary confinement. Once judged by the U.S. Supreme Court to be an impermissible form of torture, the use of solitary confinement has grown to become a “solution” to the overcrowding and violence that have defined life on the inside.

Performance | [el] Living: Visual Poetry, Live Music, & Heavy Scenes


[el] LIVING is a visual theater piece that plays with image, movement, objects, and live music to create a fragile story in which dark topics and heavy scenes go hand in hand with humor and visual poetry. Two twin sisters and a man died a long time ago. Now they share a living room, unaware of their own passing and unaware of each other. Their bodies have been acting out the actions they know in a loop, deconstructing them to the point where they are empty and senseless. They are not ready—but death doesn’t want to wait any longer. In the process, we have played with the concepts of life, death, the passing of time and the joy of being alive, aspiring to share with the audience moments of profound humanity, fear, rage, and tenderness. For this project, twelve artists of different generations, six nationalities, and four different schools come together, offering their bodies and their own stories to this truly collaborative theater piece. Written by Pau Llauger.

Author Reading | Historian Shares His New Book, Karl Marx in America


Historian Andrew Hartman will speak about his recent book, Karl Marx in America. To read Karl Marx is to contemplate a world created by capitalism. People have long viewed the United States as the quintessential anti-Marxist nation, but Marx’s ideas have inspired a wide range of people to formulate a more precise sense of the stakes of the American project. Historians have highlighted the imprint made on the United States by Enlightenment thinkers such as Adam Smith, John Locke, and Thomas Paine, but Marx is rarely considered alongside these figures. Yet his ideas are the most relevant today because of capitalism’s centrality to American life.

Book Discussion | Scholar/Film Producer Disucsses the Future of Housing Policy with Researcher (In Person AND Online!)


Scholar and documentary film producer Howard Husock sits down with fellow researcher Nicholas Dagen Bloom to discuss how housing policy has failed the people it was designed to help, and how we can fix it, as explored in Husock's latest book The Projects: A New History of Public Housing. In his book, Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government’s role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques "repair and reform" efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America.

Author Reading | Fab 5 Freddy Shares His Memoir, Everybody’s Fly: A Life of Art, Music, and Changing the Culture


Fab 5 Freddy hosts an event celebrating the release of his first memoir, Everybody’s Fly: A Life of Art, Music, and Changing the Culture. It is an essential, street-level cultural history into how New York’s underground art and music scene—guided by Fab 5 Freddy’s singular vision of what could be possible—irrevocably transformed mainstream culture from the late 1970s to today. Pioneering cultural icon Fred Brathwaite, also known as Fab 5 Freddy, has reshaped the worlds of art, style, and music. He’s the graffiti artist who turned subway tags into fine art, showing his work most recently at the Saatchi Gallery in London; the visionary behind Wild Style, the first hip-hop movie, and countless music videos; the bridge between Jean-Michel Basquiat and the downtown punk scene; and the first person to take rap global on MTV.  Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Book Discussion | Journalist Shares Her New Book, Citizenship: Notes on an American Myth (In Person AND Online!)


Journalist and author Daisy Hernandez explores one of the most contested questions in contemporary American life: who belongs. In her new book, Citizenship: Notes on an American Myth, Daisy Hernandez braids memoir, history, and cultural criticism to reveal how citizenship functions less as a guarantee than as a narrative we tell about ourselves as a nation. Drawing on her own family's stories--a mother from Colombia and a father who fled Castro's Cuba--Hernandez's narrative is both national and personal, and it challenges us to reframe our understanding of what it means to be an American.

Screening | Central Station (1998): Brazilian Comedy-Drama Road Movie (+ Film Expert Q&A)


Film screening and Q&A of Central Station (1998), a moving Brazilian drama. Set in the vast, chaotic heart of Rio de Janeiro’s main train terminal, Central Station is a deeply human drama about loss, connection, and unexpected redemption. Dora, a hardened, retired schoolteacher, ekes out a living by writing letters for illiterate people at Central do Brasil station—letters she often never sends, having long lost faith in both love and honesty. Intimate, restrained, and profoundly moving, Central Station is a meditation on motherhood, displacement, and human dignity. Through understated performances and naturalistic storytelling, the film captures the quiet miracles that arise when broken lives intersect—revealing how hope can emerge from the most unlikely encounters.

Johannes Brahms's is one of the most profound choral masterworks ever composed.

Book Discussion | Historian Discusses His New Book, America's Founding Son (In Person AND Online!)


The historian and bass player for The Avett Brothers revisits the life of John Quincy Adams, arguably America's greatest ex-president. John Quincy Adams was born nine years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and he died as the United States was sliding irrevocably toward Civil War. In between he was a foreign ambassador, secretary of state, sitting president, and finally ex-president and sitting congressperson. In America's Founding Son, Bob Crawford--best known as the bassist for the Grammy-nominated band The Avett Brothers--traces Adams's unparalleled life and career. He helped formulate the Monroe Doctrine, which was evoked as recently as the day Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro was arrested. He is also the only ex-president to serve in Congress, where he confronted slaveholders and challenged the nation to live up to its founding ideals. Crawford talks to presidential historian Alexis Coe about John Quincy Adams's unlikely second act that reshaped not just his legacy but the country's.

Discussion | Experts Discuss Franz Kafka's Drawings & Diaries


This event brings together translators, art historians and authors for a moderated conversation exploring Franz Kafka's extraordinary sensitivity to his visual world. Moving through early 20th-century Prague (its cafes, theaters, galleries, cinemas, and evolving urban landscape), Kafka cultivated distinct ways of seeing that shaped both his literary work and the drawings he created throughout his life, many of which have only recently been rediscovered. Through images and discussion, the speakers will examine what drew Kafka's attention, how he observed people, places, and objects, and how these visual practices resonate across his diaries, drawings, and writings. The conversation offers new perspectives on the relationship between image and language in Kafka's work and situates his visual imagination within the cultural and artistic contexts of Central European modernism.

Opera | The Silent Serenade (Die Stumme Serenade): Erich Korngold's Romantic Farce


Mannes Opera presents the U.S. Premiere of The Silent Serenade (Die Stumme Serenade), by composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold and librettist Victor Clement. Written in the late 1940s after Korngold's celebrated Hollywood tenure, and based on a short story by Austrian writer Raoul Auernheimer, The Silent Serenade is a romantic farce brimming with mistaken identities, amorous intrigue, and glittering melodies. The operetta-revue hybrid was intended for Broadway, at a time when works like Regina, The Consul, and Trouble in Tahiti found success on theatrical stages. But after a troubled production history--including an aborted Shubert Brothers run--the piece slipped into obscurity. Now, in a long-overdue U.S. premiere presented in English, Mannes Opera brings back this sophisticated confection, illuminating a facet of Korngold's genius rarely seen by American audiences. Conductor: Cris Frisco Director: Emma Griffin Featuring Mannes Orchestra.

In the near future, the world is governed by authoritarian regimes that claim ownership over women’s bodies.

Their bodies are claimed by the nation, but their hope refuses to be erased. This is where the story begins. Written by Jing Wang.

Play | The Strange Disappearance of Cat Braun and Minnie Roy: Dark Comedy


On the night of their five-year anniversary broadcast, news anchors Cat Braun and Minnie Roy are interrupted mid-live broadcast and find themselves trapped inside their own studio. Without reason or explanation for such unusual activity, the pair slowly but surely succumb to layers and layers of fear and suspicion. Torn between what they can and can’t (or shouldn’t) say, this play is a dark comedy following two journalists that spiral out of reality while trying to make sense of it.

Book Discussion | Jounralist Eileen Stukane Shares Her Memoir, The House That Held Everything


Hear Eileen Stukane, author of The House That Held Everything, in conversation with Lani Steinberg,who wrote St. Luke's Thrift Shop: How Our Objects Tell Our Stories! The possessions of her departed relatives come alive in her hands, as author Eileen Stukane becomes a detective of the deceased in The House That Held Everything. In this first-person memoir, the author inherits the childhood home of a deceased cousin, and then opens a door to rooms filled wall to wall, floor to ceiling, with piled up items from years of secret hoarding, as well as from the disciplined collecting, of clocks, glassware, Asian porcelain, toy trains, and more. As she separates significant items from garbage, she peels apart and exposes the emotional underpinnings of hoarding, and makes sense of the difference between collecting and hoarding.

Book Discussion | Journalist Shares New Book on Democracy, Censorship, & Mass Surveillance: The Information State


Discover how the state uses censorship, mass surveillance, and algorithmic manipulation to shape your perceptions. Author Jacob Siegel in conversation with RBI's director (a) Eli Karetny. We're often told that disinformation is everywhere and that it's endangering our democracy. But what if the war on disinformation itself is really just a weapon to squash any and all legitimate dissent? The Information State is an incisive examination of how we reached the point where anything that contradicts the dominant narrative can be labeled dangerous disinformation. Tablet contributor Jacob Siegel charts how the technological infrastructure built to make society safer and more rational has steadily replaced democratic freedoms with systems of digital control. Commercial Internet applications now double as military-grade surveillance and influence tools. Government tech partnerships established after 2001 in response to the global war on terror took on a life of their own and now target Americans.

Lecture | Egyptologist Discusses the Discovery of King Tut's Tomb


Enjoy an engaging talk with Egyptologist, Dr. Bob Brier, about one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time. Tutankhamun's tomb is one of the most famous archaeological finds of all time. The story concerning its discovery and treasures has been well documented. Less known, however, are the political dramas that surrounded the actual excavation. In this lecture, presented in collaboration with the American Research Center in Egypt/New York and its National Headquarters, world-renowned Egyptologist and Senior Research Fellow at Long Island University, Dr. Bob Brier, discusses Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon, and subsequently focuses on Pierre Lacau. The French Director General of the Service of Antiquities was instrumental in preserving the opulent burial remains in Egypt, except for the artifacts that were surreptitiously removed. Recently uncovered information shed additional light on the critical role Lacau played. But was he a hero or villain?

O’Brien on the role of fantasies among trans and gender non-conforming children of belonging elsewhere as a form of what Freud called “the family romance.” Using material from trans first-person accounts with a focus on the experimental memoir of trans activist Cecilia Gentili, the essay explores the use of family romance fantasies in trans children reconciling their emergent experiences of gender with conflicting social expectations. The family romance offers a way of theorizing the subject’s encounters with the symbolic order as articulated in questions of gender difference and biological origins.

Lecture | St. Patrick's Day Talk: Distiller Shares the History of the Irish Drink poitin


Distiller Maura Clare speaks about the history of the Irish drink, poitin. Irish whiskey and stout are both renowned, but perhaps the most Irish of all the drinks is poitin, a super-strength clear Irish moonshine. Originally brewed in convents and monasteries some 1500 years ago, poitin later moved to Irish farms, where copper pots (poitin means “small pot”) were used to make the illegal liquor. The best poitin was grain-based. It’s now legal, and known as a trendy new mixer for hipster mixologists—and also as a symbol of Irish determination and defiance. The US brand Smuggling Nun was named after the founder’s cousin, Sister Mary, a Franciscan nun who smuggled poitin through customs in a bottle of holy water. Maura Clare, founder/owner of Smuggling Nun, will lead a St. Patrick’s Day lecture on the colorful history of poitin. A poitin-based cocktail will be available in the bar.

Discussion | Fashion Expert Discusses Her Book, Fashion under Fascism (In Person AND Online!)


A discussion of themes from this landmark work on the intersection of politics and fashion under a fascist regime. Eugenia Paulicelli's pioneering work Fashion Under Fascism: Beyond the Black Shirt -- now in an updated edition -- explores the complexity of the cultural, political, and economic background that saw the beginning of the institutionalization of fashion during Italian Fascism. In her conversation with Rebecca Bauman, professor of Italian at the Fashion Institute of Technology, SUNY, she examines the relationship between fashion and national identity and the subtle and sinister changes to the seemingly innocuous practices of everyday dress imposed by the regime. Newsreels of 1930s fashion shows, archival materials, and rare photographs accompany the discussion. Paulicelli is professor emerita of Italian, Comparative Literature, Film and Media Culture, and Women's Studies at Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center, where she co-directs the Fashion Futures initiative.

Book Discussion | Hear about Paolo Boccagni’s recent book Undoing Nothing: Waiting for Asylum, Struggling for Relevance


This discussion centers around Paolo Boccagni’s recently published book Undoing Nothing: Waiting for Asylum, Struggling for Relevance. Undoing Nothing unravels the concept of “nothing," through a beautifully-written ethnography situated in a temporary housing building for asylum seekers in northern Italy. While much has been written about the infrastructure of refugee camps, detention centers, shelters and temporary housing facilities for asylum seekers, Boccagni’s account centers of the lives of young men in their early twenties, mostly from West Africa, who have been housed for years in this temporary building while they wait for their asylum cases to be resolved, or for a stable enough job that will allow them to pay for their own housing while they wait for a decision about their migration status. A timely and important book that contributes to debates around temporality and spatial politics in contexts of mobility, and also raises significant questions about broader structures of exclusion within host societies.

Book Discussion | Art Historian Shares Her New Book on Artist Alice Baber (In Person AND Online!)


Art historian Gail Levin discusses her new book about artist Alice Baber with art critic and journalist Deborah Solomon. At the time of her premature death at just fifty-four, the paintings of Alice Baber (1928 - 1982) had already entered the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney. How could such an accomplished and visionary artist then fall into near obscurity? In Gail Levin's Alice Baber: An Artist's Triumph Over Tragedy, the artist's fascinating story is finally revealed despite concerted efforts to consign her to oblivion. Levin's biography is a vital corrective to the history of American art and a thrilling opportunity for the next generation to experience Baber anew.

Discussion | Discover Jane Goodall's (the legendary primatologist known as "the chimp whisperer") Legacy with Experts (In Person AND Online!)


Experts discuss what it means to study primates today, following in Goodall's path. Jane Goodall, the legendary primatologist known as "the chimp whisperer," died in 2025 at the age of 91. Looking back at her life and scientific contributions -- she studied the social lives of wild chimpanzees for over six decades and tirelessly advocated for their protection -- experts at CUNY discuss Goodall's legacy as a bioanthropologist and a conservation activist. Following in her path, what does it mean to study primates today, considering current ethical debates about great ape rights? Including researchers who knew Goodall, the panel features Kristen Andrews, professor of Philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center; David Lahti, associate professor of Biology and Psychology at Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center; and Jessica Rothman, program director in Human Biology and professor of Anthropology at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center.

An insanely jealous wife sabotages everything in her husband's life until he finally leaves her. Despondent and more crazed than ever, she devises the ultimate revenge and vows to enact it no matter what sacrifice it requires of her. Director: John M. Stahl Cast: Gene Tierney, Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain, Vincent Price Gene Tierney was an American stage and film actress. Acclaimed for her great beauty, Tierney was a prominent leading lady during the Golden Age of Hollywood. For her role in  Leave Her to Heaven (1945), she earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Classical Music | Salterio Ensemble Works by Vivaldi & More (In Person AND Online!)


Passiflora Harmonica ensemble (Marc Armitano Domingo, Baroque salterio, Dušan Balarin, Baroque guitar and theorbo, Lydia Becker, violin, Jimmy Drancsak, violin and viola, and Clara Abel, violoncello) explores the vast and varied repertoire of the salterio during its heyday. The salterio, a type of chromatic psaltery that can be played with little mallets or by plucking, became increasingly popular during the 18th century amongst high society and court musicians in Italy, Spain, and Latin America. Its repertoire, which is still being uncovered to this day, shows just how many uses the instrument had. The program will feature a sampler of salterio repertoire, from the earliest surviving piece for salterio from Vivaldi’s Il Giustino to fandangos and other popular Spanish music from the 18th century to the first decades of the 19th century.

Book Discussion | Physicist Reflects on His Travel Memoir, Before the Beginning (+ Author Q&A)


A physicist returns to his origins to rebuild a broken identity. Book talk followed by Q&A with author, Ernesto Mané. In 2010, the physicist Ernesto Mané, from the Brazilian state of Paraíba, embarked on a geographical and emotional journey to fulfill a long-held desire: to meet his paternal family in Guinea-Bissau. He emerges from those months profoundly transformed. Fifteen years later, now a career diplomat and a Guinean citizen, he gives literary form to his travel diary in Before the Beginning. In the words of Angolan writer and curator Kalaf Epalanga, who penned the book’s flap text, the work is a “rare achievement,” in which “the great African tragedy is narrated in the same register as authors such as Ta-Nehisi Coates or Mia Couto.”

Discussion | Artist/Poet Discusses Her New MoMA Exhibition: A Living Poem


Artist and poet Sasha Stiles leads a conversation about A Living Poem, her debut solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, and why poetry is re-emerging as one of the most vital creative languages of our time. A Living Poem marks a milestone in contemporary art and culture by exploring poetry as a live, generative system, and one of humanity's earliest forms of technology. In dialogue with MoMA, Stiles reflects on the project's evolution from early concept to large-scale artwork, and previews how A Living Poem will continue to live on beyond the MoMA exhibition through future shows and A Living Poem: The Codex -- a generative artist book to be published in Spring 2026.

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.
