Book Discussion | Laughing All the Way to Freedom: The Americanization of a Russian Emigre
All immigrants of the world coming to America expect it to be like their home country—only better. What they rarely consider is that, like that of any other nation, America’s DNA differs from that of their country. It may take a lifetime to adjust to the unfamiliar country’s culture, mentality, and way of doing many things differently from the way they have known. It is especially true when immigrants come to America from a country based on different principles, in this case, collectivist Russia versus individualist America, with opposing political systems—the democratic American one and the totalitarian Soviet. Emil Draitser's book is part memoir and part cultural study about the challenges of immigration and American acculturation. With self-deprecating humor, the author, a former Soviet satirist who was punished for trespassing the boundaries of public criticism, recollects his growing pains as he overcame his indoctrinated upbringing in a totalitarian society to embrace America’s defining values.

Book Club | The Sicilian Inheritance by Jo Piazza
Sara Marsala barely knows who she is anymore after the failure of her business and marriage. On top of that, her beloved great-aunt Rosie passes away, leaving Sara bereft with grief. But Aunt Rosie’s death also opens an escape from her life and a window into the past by way of a plane ticket to Sicily, a deed to a possibly valuable plot of land, and a bombshell family secret. Rosie believes Sara’s great-grandmother Serafina, the family matriarch who was left behind while her husband worked in America, didn’t die of illness as family lore has it . . . she was murdered. Thus begins a twist-filled adventure that takes Sara all over the picturesque Italian countryside as she races to solve a mystery and learn the story of Serafina—a feisty and headstrong young woman in the early 1900s thrust into motherhood in her teens, who fought for a better life not just for herself but for all the women of her small village. Unsurprisingly the more she challenges the status quo, the more she finds herself in danger. As Sara discovers more about Serafina, she also realizes she is coming head-to-head with the same menacing forces that took down her great-grandmother.

Lecture | The Modern Concrete Skyscraper: One Shell Plaza, Houston (online)
Travel to Texas where, at the time of its completion in 1971, One Shell Plaza in Houston was the tallest reinforced concrete structure in the world. Designed by SOM's extraordinary collaborators, architect Bruce Graham and engineer Fazlur Khan, working for the developer Gerald D. Hines, the 50-story skyscraper continued the evolution of Khan's “tube-in-tube” structure they had pioneered in Chicago in the mid-1960s. Colaco, who as a young engineer worked directly with Khan on One Shell Plaza and other projects, will discuss the engineering principles and refinements that make this skyscraper so expressive as both form and structure. Speaker Joseph Colaco received his Ph.D. in structural engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1965, the same year he began to work in the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill under the firm's lead engineering partner Fazlur Khan.

Book Discussion | Brother, I'm Dying: The Latest Award-Winning Author Edwidge Danticat
From the age of four, award-winning writer Edwidge Danticat came to think of her uncle Joseph as her “second father,” when she was placed in his care after her parents left Haiti for America. And so she was both elated and saddened when, at twelve, she joined her parents and youngest brothers in New York City. As Edwidge made a life in a new country, adjusting to being far away from so many who she loved, she and her family continued to fear for the safety of those still in Haiti as the political situation deteriorated. In 2004, they entered into a terrifying tale of good people caught up in events beyond their control. Brother I'm Dying is an astonishing true-life epic, told on an intimate scale by one of our finest writers.

Screening | Political Advertisement 1952-2024: Screening and Panel
Artists Muntadas and Reese will premiere the 11th edition of their four-decade long collaboration, Political Advertisement 1952-2024, followed by a conversation with Brooke Gladstone, host of WNYC's Peabody Award-winning podcast On The Media. For 40 years, Antoni Muntadas and Marshall Reese have been compiling a video history of presidential campaign spots that follows the evolution of broadcast political advertising from its beginnings in 1952 to the present. When the artists started this project in 1984, finding broadcast political ads required exhaustive research in archives and often involved personal contact with the candidate's campaigns, a bit more complicated than today's internet click and download. The feature length film is a personal vision of how politics and politicians are shaped and presented through the moving image. This engaging critique without voiceover commentary highlights how campaign ads manipulate public perception and affect voter behavior. The experience is an historical stream of consciousness showcasing the political and technological histories of presidential candidates and the broadcast moving image.

Discussion | Antisemitism as a Pillar of Fascism
Hitler's attempt to seize control of the German state and eradicate Weimar democracy in 1923's beer hall putsch failed and landed him in jail. Hitler used his imprisonment to raise his political profile and write Mein Kampf, his antisemitic and antidemocratic screed. There has been much discussion in our times about political movements centered around personality cults and disillusionment with democracy. While no such movement has succeeded in dismantling democracy in the United States, some have have pointed out that the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 matches up historically with the failed putsch of 1923 as a premature grasping for power by a movement that might still prevail. With: -- Historian Gavriel Rosenfeld, author of The Fourth Reich: The Specter of Nazism from WWII to the Present. --John Ganz, author of When the Clock Broke: Con Men, Conspiracists, and How America Cracked Up in the Early 1990s

Despite the genuinely dire warnings about climate change, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson believes that our future is not yet written. In her new book, What If We Get It Right, Johnson guides readers through solutions and possibilities at the nexus of science, policy, culture, and justice. In addition to her original essays, she seeks wisdom from an array of visionary farmers, financiers, architects, and advocates who are able to conjure images of a flourishing future. Mixing poetry, data, and art, Johnson demonstrates a multiplicity of futures that are worth the effort they will take—and discusses how we can each play a role in helping all of us get there.

It’s a game accessible to varying physical abilities and ages, can be played on more or less any patch of dirt, and is extremely easy to learn. Despite that simplicity, it is a technically and strategically stimulating game that is easy to fall in love with.

Book Discussion | The Collaborative Constitution: How to Protect Our Democracy
Author Aileen Kavanagh offers a fresh account of how we should protect rights in a democracy. Departing from leading theoretical accounts which present the courts and legislature as rivals for constitutional supremacy, Kavanagh argues that protecting rights is a collaborative enterprise between all three branches of government - the Executive, the legislature, and the courts. On a collaborative vision of constitutionalism, protecting rights is neither the solitary task of a Herculean super-judge, nor the dignified pronouncements of an enlightened legislature. Instead, it is a complex, dynamic, and collaborative endeavour, where each branch has a distinct but complementary role to play, whilst engaging with each other in a spirit of comity and mutual respect. Connecting constitutional theory with the practice of protecting rights in a democracy, this book offers an innovative understanding of the separation of powers, grounded in the values and virtues of constitutional collaboration.

Many gameboards on view in the exhibition Playing with Design: Gameboards, Art and Culture offer a glimpse into the social and economic changes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As locally-made artifacts and educational tools, they often reflect, if not reinforce, the values and priorities of modern America. Using the Wendel Gameboard Collection as a reference, game scholar and designer Mary Flanagan will discuss her historical research about game rules, design, role-playing and community building. Followed by a conversation with Naomi Clarck, Chair of the NYU Game Center, her presentation will highlight the cultural and political significance of board games such as the Game of the Goose, Monopoly, Chess and Parcheesi while shedding a new light on play, and the game industry.

Book Discussion | The Enlightenment's Most Dangerous Woman: Emilie Du Chatelet and the Making of Modern Philosophy
Just as the Enlightenment was gaining momentum throughout Europe, philosopher Emilie Du Chatelet broke through the many barriers facing women at the time and published a major philosophical treatise in French. Within a few short years, she became famous: she was read and debated from Russia to Prussia, from Switzerland to England, from up north in Sweden to down south in Italy. This was not just remarkable because she was a woman, but because of the substance of her contributions. While the men in her milieu like Voltaire and Kant sought disciples to promote their ideas, Du Chatelet promoted intellectual autonomy. She counselled her readers to read the classics, but never to become a follower of another's ideas. Her proclamation that a true philosopher must remain an independent thinker, rather than a disciple of some supposedly "great man" like Isaac Newton or Ren? Descartes, posed a threat to an emerging consensus in the Enlightenment. And that made her dangerous. With author Andrew Janiak, Professor of Philosophy and co-leader of Project Vox at Duke University.

Discussion | The Schoenberg-Puccini Connection
A dialogue featuring music historian Harvey Sachs (Schoenberg: Why He Matters) and the musicologist Linda Fairtile (Giacomo Puccini: A Guide to Research). On April 1, 1924, Palazzo Pitti in Florence hosted a "Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music" with the goal of presenting new musical trends to Italian audiences. The highlight of the performance was the Florentine premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, an atonal melodrama for soprano and chamber ensemble composed in 1912 that was already becoming the Austrian composer's most celebrated and performed work. The composer himself led the performance from the podium. To his delight, attending in the audience - score in hand - was Italy's preeminent opera composer, Giacomo Puccini, whom Schoenberg considered one of the innovators of twentieth-century harmonic language. One hundred years later, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Schoenberg's birth, and the centennial of Puccini's death, this is an evening dedicated to the impact of these two composers, not only on each other, but on the world around them, and on the many composers who have continued to carry the torch of their musical innovation.

Book Discussion | Giant Robot: Thirty Years of Defining Asian-American Pop Culture by Eric Nakamura
Celebrate the release of Giant Robot: Thirty Years of Defining Asian-American Pop Culture with a lively discussion between Giant Robot's co-founder Eric Nakamura and journalist Claudine Ko, writer Ed Lin, and artist, illustrator and author Travis Louie. Los Angeles, 1994. Two Asian-American punk rockers staple together the zine of their dreams featuring Sumo, Hong Kong Cinema and Osamu Tezuka. From the very margins of the DIY press and alternative culture, Giant Robot burst into the mainstream with over 60,000 copies in circulation annually at its peak. Giant Robot even popped right off the page, setting up a restaurant, gallery, and storefronts in LA, as well as galleries and stores in New York and San Francisco. As their influence grew in the 90s and 00s, Giant Robot was eventually invited to the White House by Barack Obama, to speak at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, and to curate the GR Biennale at the Japanese American National Museum. Home to a host of unapologetically authentic perspectives bridging the bicultural gap between Asian and Asian-American pop culture, Giant Robot had the audacity to print such topics side-by-side, and become a touchstone for generations of artists, musicians, creators, and collectors of all kinds in a pre-social media era. Nowhere else were pieces on civil rights activists running next to articles on skateboarding and Sriracha. Toy collectors, cartoonists, and street style pioneers got as many column inches as Michelle Yeoh, Karen O, James Jean, and Haruki Murakami. Giant Robot: Thirty Years of Defining Asian-American Pop Culture features the best of the magazine's sixty-eight issue run alongside never-before-seen photographs, supplementary writing by long-term contributing journalist Claudine Ko, and tributes from now-famous fans who've been around since day one. Margaret Cho, Daniel Wu, and Randall Park celebrate Giant Robot's enduring legacy alongside pioneering pro-skateboarder Peggy Oki, contemporary art giant Takashi Murakami, culinary darling Natasha Pickowicz, and critically acclaimed essayist Jia Tolentino.

Though America is the wealthiest country in the world -- and spends more on medical care than any other nation. Yet, we have the poorest health outcomes. Racial disparities in health, from birth to the end of life, have remained stubbornly in place for decades or longer, even among educated, wealthy Black Americans. This talk by Linda Villarosa will discuss these issues, and lean into solutions informed by her perspective as a journalist.

For Arthur Rowe, the trip to the charity fete was a joyful step back into adolescence, a chance to forget the nightmare of the Blitz and the aching guilt of having mercifully murdered his sick wife. He was surviving alone, outside the war, until he happened to win a cake at the fete. From that moment, he is ruthlessly hunted by Nazi agents and finds himself the prey of malign and shadowy forces.

Opening Reception | Slice of Life: Paintings - Floating Visions
Slice of Life highlights a collection of Kim MacConnel's "bedsheet" paintings as well as a set of smaller gouaches on paper. The presentation, created between 1979 and 1981, offers fresh insight into an important figure of the Pattern and Decoration movement. The cotton-sheeting base of the bedsheet pieces, painted with diluted acrylics and pinned to the walls as if they are positioned temporarily, bestows the works with a sense that they are floating visions that could vanish at any time. The artist sees this impermanence as a reflection of our current moment, mainly the urgent issue of climate change and its predicted effects over the coming decades. MacConnel is one of the founding artists of the Pattern and Decoration movement of the 1970s. MacConnel's word has been presented at the Whitney Biennials of 1975, 1977, 1979,1981, 1985; the Museum of Ghent, Belgium; MoMA PS1, New York; Contemporary Art Museum Houston; Museum of Modern Art, New York.

In an era where democracy hinges on access to accurate information, the global media landscape faces growing threats and shrinking resources. Behind the decline are tech behemoths that divert advertising dollars from news outlets to their platforms, platforms which have long profited from hosting news stories, headlines, and summaries. This business model rewards sensationalism at a time when we are just beginning to see the effects of generative AI on an informed electorate on which democracy relies. This special panel of international experts will discuss global efforts to support quality journalism, the need to protect free expression and diverse cultures, and the critical role of platform payments in sustaining reliable information.

Discussion | The Style and Politics of Choreographer Talley Beatty’s Dance
An iconic figure in 20th-century dance, Talley Beatty developed a dance style, grounded in the blues aesthetic, that integrated ballet, vernacular, modern, jazz, and African diasporic movement. Through his monumental dance art as a choreographer Talley Beatty helped shape American life. His sense of humor resonated in his choreography, in which his approaches to using movement vocabulary of these different forms was often surprising and amusing. His work also focused on his own life of alienation, racial discrimination, and hardships, so that his exploration of these struggles shaped the Black tradition in American art. This evening event brings together dance historians, dance students and professionals, and artistic directors, who worked with Beatty's choreography on Broadway or in his concert dance theater pieces. The center of the program will include excerpts from an interview Marcea Daiter conducted with Talley Beatty on September 10, 1992. Beatty tells colorful stories of his childhood, his dance training in Chicago, performing, choreographing, and recalls anecdotes about his associates including Katherine Dunham, Alvin Ailey, Duke Ellington, Jerome Robbins, and others. As part of this event, Marcea Daiter and Dyane Harvey-Salaam co-host a panel discussion about Talley Beatty’s life and career. Registration required.

Book Discussion | A Book about Ray by Ellen Levy
A Book about Ray is the first full-career survey of the idiosyncratic life and work of Ray Johnson, a collagist, performance artist, and pioneer of mail art. Ray Johnson (1927-1995), a.k.a. “New York’s most famous unknown artist,” was notorious for the elaborate games he played with the institutions of the art world, soliciting their attention even as he rejected their invitations. In A Book about Ray, Ellen Levy offers a comprehensive study of the artist who turned the business of career-making into a tongue-in-cheek performance, tracing his artistic development from his arrival at Black Mountain College in 1945 to his death in 1995. Levy describes Johnson’s practice as one that was constantly shifting—whether in tone, in its address to potential audiences, or among three primary artistic modes: collage, performance, and correspondence art. A Book about Ray takes an elliptical path, circling around rather than trying to arrest in flight the elusive artist and his purposefully ephemeral art. By crafting the book in this way, Levy evokes Ray Johnson’s art in the moment of its making and draws readers into the artist’s world, while making them feel, from the beginning, that they somehow already know their way around that world. In exploring Johnson’s scene, readers will also encounter the artists who influenced him, like Joseph Cornell and Marcel Duchamp, and his friends and peers like Jasper Johns, Allan Kaprow, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol. The work of such figures will look forever different in light of Johnson’s subversive take on their shared aesthetic. At this event, author Ellen Levy will discuss her new book and more with Allison Nellis.

Dubbed a voice of her generation, poet and writer, Morgan Parker has spent much of her adulthood in therapy, trying to square the resonance of her writing with the alienation she feels in nearly every aspect of life, from her lifelong singleness to a battle with depression. She traces this loneliness to an inability to feel truly safe with others and a historic hyperawareness stemming from the effects of slavery.

Book Discussion | The Native Trees of Canada: Reinterpeting a Government Text
Leanne Shapton's cult art book inspired by a government textbook is back in print with a gorgeous new cover. It is a new edition of the artist's bold reinterpretation of a century-old book. While shopping in the used-book store the Monkey's Paw in Toronto, Leanne Shapton happened upon a 1956 edition of the stalwart reference book The Native Trees of Canada, originally published in 1917 by the Canadian Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources. Most people might simply view the book as a dry cataloging of a banal subject; Shapton, however, saw beauty in the technical details and was inspired to create her own interpretation of The Native Trees of Canada.

Tour | Walking the Harlem River: Lost Waterfronts and Buried Creeks
This walk will explore the history of lost waterways in Marble Hill and Kingsbridge, where the Harlem River was rerouted more than a century ago, and its tributaries filled in. Today, the shoreline is inaccessible, and the lowlands are prone to frequent flooding. We will follow the route of the proposed daylighting of Tibbetts Brook, which once flowed into Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and will consider how this buried waterway could be reconnected with the Harlem River, and become part of the proposed Harlem River Greenway. This walk is designed and led by Nathan Kensinger, a journalist, photographer, filmmaker and curator, who has been documenting New York City’s changing waterfront for 15 years.

Other | Day of the Dead Ofrenda (Offering at an Altar): A Ceremonial Celebration
Life is a Dream is an art installation inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead. The tradition is based on the belief in the connection between the living and the deceased and the everlasting link between this world and the next. On the Day of the Dead, ofrendas - offerings placed at an altar - welcome the spirits of our loved ones for one night. Attendees are encouraged to bring small photographs (copies, not originals) and cards to place on the altar to remember their loved ones (no food or candles, please). Day of the Dead is a revered celebration unrelated to Halloween.

Concert | Darkwave/R&B and Plaintive Pop
Prince Terrence first made his name touring and recording in the Midwest hardcore scene, then came up as a drummer for electronic artists like Santigold, Heartsrevolution, Steve Aoki and Major Lazer, all the while cultivating an underground nightlife movement around his DJ and music events in NYC. His embrace of the current revival of the post-punk emo genre of darkwave led to another rebirth, this time as the artist Rare Form. Musically, Rare Form offers the listener an unlikely fusion of darkwave and R&B, what Alternative Press calls "goth slow jams." Prince Terrence’s richly layered vocals drive these hallucinatory lullabies, taking the audience on a darkly evocative journey into sensual narcosis. Hallmarked by diffused synth beats, orchestral ballads, and purple party vibes, Rare Form's music is a plaintive pop daydream that nods to ’90s trip-hop but stays firmly focused on the future. For his Lincoln Center debut, Rare Form presents new work and classic songs from his Softcore EP.

Book Discussion | High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out
When we are baffled by the insanity of the “other side”—in our politics, at work, or at home—it’s because we aren’t seeing how the conflict itself has taken over. That’s what “high conflict” does. It’s the invisible hand of our time. And it’s different from the useful friction of healthy conflict. That’s good conflict, and it’s a necessary force that pushes us to be better people.

Book Discussion | Charm: How Magnetic Personalities Shape Global Politics (in-person and online)
Politics is a site of performance, and contemporary politicians often perform the role of a regular person--perhaps someone we would like to have a beer with. They win elections not because of the elevated rhetorical performances we often associate with charisma ("ask not what your country can do for you"), but because of something more ordinary and relatable. The everyday magic spell that politicians cast using mass and social media is what sociologist Julia Sonnevend calls "charm." In this engaging and enlightening book, Sonnevend explores charm (and the related "charm offensive") as a keyword of contemporary global politics. Successful political leaders deploy this form of personal magnetism--which relies on proximity to political tribes and manifests across a variety of media platforms--to appear authentic and accessible in their quest for power.

Lecture | Sickle of Syntax & Hammer of Tautology: Yugoslav Experimental Poetry
In his lecture, Sezgin Boynik will introduce the publication Sickle of Syntax & Hammer of Tautology: Concrete and Visual Poetry in Yugoslavia, 1968-1983, which he edited as a special number (# 90-91) of OEI in 2021. Boynik will discuss example Yugoslav experimental poetry through specific historical and political context of socialist Yugoslavia. Sickle of Syntax & Hammer of Tautology offers the first English-language overview of the history of the production of concrete and visual poetry in socialist Yugoslavia between 1968 and 1983. By focusing on mass-produced examples of concrete poetry, the publication presents these poetic experiments as organically linked to social movements, critical theories, and youth cultural revolutions. In his presentation, Boynik, will discuss the concrete and visual poetry in socialist Yugoslavia as an uneven and combined development, and emphasize its confrontational and organizational aspects.

Book Discussion | Infinite Dreams: The Life of Alan Vega by Laura Davis-Chanin and Liz Lamere
Best known for co-founding the early punk duo Suicide, Alan Vega lived a complex and labyrinthine life, driven by a desire to express himself uncompromisingly through art. From his first sketch in art class at Brooklyn College to the 2021 release of the album Mutator five years after his death, Vega continues to shock and inspire. This first-ever biography of Vega tells the story of the man’s life and art, beginning with his early attempts to live a “normal” life and his epiphanic encounter with Iggy Pop in 1969. Although becoming a performer on stage had been at the bottom of Vega’s list of lifetime ambitions, Iggy changed his mind: he needed music to truly express his vision. Infinite Dreams goes on to describe Vega’s many experiments across a variety of media, including the partnership with Marty Rev that became Suicide, which challenged audiences to look deep inside themselves and to not settle for distractions. A raw but engaging exploration of a man whose artwork, music, and philosophy inspired thousands, written by award-winning author Laura Davis-Chanin together with Liz Lamere, Alan Vega’s wife and long-term creative collaborator. At this event, author Liz Lamere will discuss her new book with Ashley Dalle.

Book Club | Graphic Novel Book Club: Parallel by Matthias Lehmann
Karl Kling's story is one of revelations, and these he has addressed in a letter to his daughter, Hella, who had disowned Karl many years ago. Karl's letter is a cri de coeur from a father to a daughter he never really got to know, and he comes clean to her about his failed marriages, his fractured family relations--and his love for men. Taking place between the end of World War II and the 1980s, Parallel chronicles Karl's efforts to comply with social norms in order to keep his sexuality a secret. It also paints a picture of a life torn between conformity and rebellion, and the cruel realities of twentieth-century German society, where homosexuality was proscribed and punishable until 1994. Matthias Lehmann poignantly depicts the story of a decades-long yearning to live an open and free life, and the price Karl and those he loves must pay for it. It is also a story of finding the courage to finally tell the truth no matter the obstacles...or the cost.

Book Discussion | A Better Life for Their Children: Legacy in Photographs, Constructing Schools in the Segregated South 1912-1937
A Jewish immigrant who rose to lead Sears, Julius Rosenwald, and Booker T. Washington, born into slavery and founder of Tuskegee Institute, teamed up in 1912 to create a groundbreaking initiative for building public schools for African American children in the segregated South. This partnership significantly boosted educational opportunities for Black communities and contributed to the Civil Rights Movement. Out of nearly 5,000 Rosenwald schools established between 1912 and 1937, only about 500 remain, many in disrepair. A Better Life for their Children: Julius Rosenwald, Booker T. Washington, and the 4,978 Schools that Changed America documents this legacy by photographer, author, social activist Andrew Feiler. He traveled over 25,000 miles, photographing 105 schools and interviewing former students, teachers, and community leaders across the states involved. Feiler was named "Book Photographer of the Year" by Prix de la Photographie Paris in 2022 for this documentary book.

Reading | New York Crime Stories: Reading from the Archives with Oscar Nominee (In Person AND Online!)
The citizens of New York count among their numbers a former president running for office while being convicted of 34 felonies and the first sitting mayor to be indicted for federal crimes. They are only two of the most recent examples in a long history of lawbreaking and law enforcement that stretches as far back as the city’s founding. For one night only, beloved actors and performers read stories about the words and deeds of New Yorkers who lived on either side of the letter of the law. Whether it was Stephanie St. Clair, Harlem’s “Queen of Numbers,” or Anthony Comstock, the moralizing crusader whose efforts still haunt us today, the story of illegality and vice in New York might be as old as the city, but it’s one we are still living with now. About the Speaker An Emmy, a Golden Globe, a SAG award, and Oscar and Tony Award nominations are just a few of Sam Waterston’s many achievements. Recently Sam starred in Emmy winning limited series The Dropout, where he portrayed the polarizing figure George Shultz, opposite Amanda Seyfried. Additionally, he was a lead opposite Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Martin Sheen on the Emmy-nominated Netflix Original series Grace and Frankie, which ran for seven seasons, making it the longest running Netflix Original series. Sam also co-starred alongside Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer in the Aaron Sorkin HBO series The Newsroom. Sam is perhaps best well known for his portrayal of Jack McCoy on the iconic Law and Order franchise, reprising his titular role earlier this year.

Book Discussion | Gather Me by Glory Edim (In Person AND Online!)
In 2015, Glory Edim founded Well-Read Black Girl, a literary community dedicated to Black women. Over the past decade she’s reached half a million readers and promoted diverse voices in literature and inspired conversations around societal issues, from banned books to gender equality to reproductive rights. But Glory’s own love of books stretches far back. Books were her outlet to navigate traumatic changes and losses, to escape into safe spaces, and to find community. As she grew older she discovered authors from Toni Morrison to Nikki Giovanni to Audre Lorde, whose works and ideas weren’t being taught in her classes. Her new memoir, Gather Me, is an ode to the power reading has had on her life and to books’ ability to help us understand ourselves. Glory Edim speaks with Aminatou Sow about her memoir of family, community, and resilience and how representation in literature can gather the disparate parts that make us who we are and assemble them into a portrait of discovery.

Despite that simplicity, it is a technically and strategically stimulating game that is easy to fall in love with.

Lecture | Nikolai Nadezhdin’s Return to Grace: Political Rehabilitation in the Era of Nicholas I (online)
The regime of Nicholas I (1825-1855) was not known for its kind nature. Russians accused of political transgressions faced long periods of imprisonment and even death. Nicholas Nadezhdin (1802-1856) is an exception to this rule. Condemned to exile, he had little prospect of restoring his standing as a professor and publisher. Yet, his exile proved to be brief, and by the time of his death he had risen to the high rank of Active State Councilor and become a trusted official in the Interior Ministry. How can Nadezhdin’s return to favor be explained? What did he have to do to convince the regime of his reliability, and what was the price for his rehabilitation?

Lecture | Writing When Young: Adolescent Published Authors of Children's Books
Children’s literature studies have recently witnessed a new interest in young people’s own contribution to literature, behind the scenes, as authors of fan fiction or as published authors. Certain prejudices exist around such young authors: their work is often seen as derivative and imitative and associated with spontaneous creativity rather than work. In this talk, Vanessa Joosen discusses three case studies from Dutch children’s literature to add nuance to the ideas about adolescent published authors. Based on interviews and archival material, she draws attention to their professionalism and the importance of intra- and intergenerational collaboration. Vanessa Joosen is professor of English literature and children’s literature at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and author of Adulthood in Children’s Literature.

Book Discussion | Someone Like Us by Dinaw Mengestu (In Person AND Online!)
Join WNYC's Alison Stewart and Dinaw Mengestu for a live conversation about his newest book, Someone Like Us. In Dinaw Mengestu's Someone Like Us, the son of Ethiopian immigrants seeks to understand a hidden family history and uncovers a past colored by unexpected loss, addiction, and the enduring emotional pull toward home. After abandoning his once-promising career as a journalist in search of a new life in Paris, Mamush meets Hannah—a photographer whose way of seeing the world shows him the possibility of finding not only love but family. Now, five years later, with his marriage to Hannah on the verge of collapse, he returns to the close-knit immigrant Ethiopian community of Washington, DC that defined his childhood. At its center is Mamush’s stoic, implacable mother, and Samuel, the larger-than-life father figure whose ceaseless charm and humor have always served as a cover for a harder, more troubling truth. But on the same day that Mamush arrives home in Washington, Samuel is found dead in his garage. With Hannah and their two-year-old son back in Paris, Mamush sets out on an unexpected journey across America in search of answers to questions he'd been told never to ask. As he does so, he begins to understand that perhaps the only chance he has of saving his family and making it back home is to confront not only the unresolved mystery around Samuel’s life and death, but his own troubled memories, and the years spent masking them.

Discussion | Attrition Sculptor Explains the Symbolism Behind His Artwork on Display at a City Park
Sculptor Cannupa Hanska Luger will talk about his creation - Attrition, currently on view at City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan. The sculpture is a 10-foot-long, large-scale skeletal sculpture made from steel with an ash-black patina. The form emerges from the ground beneath, visible through greenery indigenous to this region. The piece showcases the profound interdependence between animals, humans, and the land. It brings attention to the loss, trauma, and violence that may occur due to a single disturbance in an ecosystem. Situated on the pathway to City Hall, Attrition symbolically engages with NYC's heart of policy-making, bringing to light the history of the bison's survival. Luger will be joined in conversation by Paul Farber, Director of Monument Lab.

Lecture | Two Revolutionary Jews: Leon Trotsky and Chaim Zhitlowsky (in-person and online)
What role should Jews play in revolutionary movements? Should they act collectively on their own behalf or as indistinct individuals within majority populations in the interest of universalistic ideals? Or was this a false dichotomy? These questions have defined the basis of left-wing Jewish politics since the 19th century. In this lecture, Tony Michels explores two different approaches to revolutionary Jewish politics, as defined by Leon Trotsky and Chaim Zhitlowsky. Both were Russian-born Jews who played seminal roles in the Russian revolutionary movement. Both also came to be seen as embodiments of the modern Jewish experience. However, they gave radically different answers to the predicament of modern Jewry.

Lecture | Introduction to Chinese Film, Part 1
Curious about Chinese cinema but don’t know where to begin? Ever wonder why in China, experts tend to think of their directors in terms of generations? Want to better understand how China’s censorship works? Come check out this two-part in person lecture series, and explore some of the best films that have come out of Mainland China in recent decades. Free video links and other resources will be shared at the end of the lectures for those interested in exploring Chinese films on their own. Some of the films being discussing include Yellow Earth, Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine, To Live, Beijing Bicycle, and Still Life. (Please note this series will only cover films that have come out of Mainland China since the early 1980s. Due to time constraints, Hong Kong and Taiwanese films will not be included in the series.) About the Lecturer Karen Ma is a Chinese-American film scholar and movie critic specializing in Chinese cinema. Her most recent book, China’s Millennial Digital Generation: Conversations with Balinghou (Post-80s) Indie Filmmakers, was published in 2022. Ma has presented numerous events about Chinese cinema and literature both in New York and Washington DC, and holds regular Chinese cinema classes at the China Institute near Manhattan’s Wall Street. She also writes often about Chinese culture, literature, and cinema, and her articles have appeared in The New York Times, NPR, Newsday, The International Herald Tribune, South China Morning Post, and The Japan Times, among others.

Opening Reception | Shane Walsh: Shadow Arcade
Shane Walsh’s paintings are the result of an interest in collage, both in a literal sense and as a conceptual framework for understanding the legacy of abstraction. His process begins with small-scale collages constructed from photocopies of various shapes and marks - some expressive, others graphic or digital - which respond to the history of abstract painting. His interest in the technique owes as much to the punk and hip-hop ephemera of the artist’s youth as it does to modernist collage traditions. The photocopy itself also serves as an important metaphor. Just as an image repeatedly reproduced on a copy machine will become distorted over time, so our understanding of abstraction is altered as paintings are transmitted and reproduced through time and culture. For Walsh, these distortions are something to celebrate, and provide him with the opportunity to re-construct an image of abstraction that feels appropriate to his time and place.

Book Discussion | Operation Husky: The Canadian Invasion of Sicily, July 10–August 7, 1943 (online)
On July 10, 1943, twenty thousand Canadian soldiers joined two great Allied armies on the beaches of southern Sicily for Operation Husky-the first western Allied thrust to win a toehold inside Hitler's Fortress Europe. Guarding the renowned Eighth Army's left flank, Ist Canadian Infantry Division and Ist Canadian Army Tank Brigade struck out from the sand into the island's rugged interior. In searing heat, these untried troops clashed in ever-intensifying battle to wrest towering mountains and ancient hill towns away from the elite veterans of Germany's Hermann Göring and Ist Parachute divisions. When Eighth Army's main drive up Sicily's eastern coast stalled, General Montgomery ordered the Canadians to save the day by turning the German left flank. The fighting reached a fever pitch as the Canadians struggled to break through a series of German defensive lines. Celebrated military historian Mark Zuehlke vividly recreates this little-known campaign, which became the Canadian Army's first triumph of World War II.

Book Discussion | Golden Ages: Hasidic Singers and Cantorial Revival in the Digital Era
Golden Ages is an ethnographic study of young singers in the contemporary Brooklyn Hasidic community who base their aesthetic explorations of the culturally intimate space of prayer on the gramophone-era cantorial golden age. Jeremiah Lockwood proposes a view of their work as a nonconforming social practice that calls upon the sounds and structures of Jewish sacred musical heritage to disrupt the aesthetics and power hierarchies of their conservative community, defying institutional authority and pushing at normative boundaries of sacred and secular. Beyond its role as a desirable art form, golden age cantorial music offers aspiring Hasidic singers a form of Jewish cultural productivity in which artistic excellence, maverick outsider status and sacred authority are aligned. In this book event, Lockwood will discuss his new book and accompany one of the singers featured in the study, Yoel Kohn, in a concert of virtuosic and soulful cantorial performance in the early 20th century "golden age" cantorial style.

Troublemaker teen Jim Stark moves to a new town for a clean slate, but being the new kid creates its own set of problems. Jim falls for Judy, a girl in his new town, and forms a friendship with Plato, a disturbed classmate. But neighborhood bully Buzz is Judy's boyfriend, and when Buzz violently confronts Jim, challenging him to a drag race, Jim finds himself in a world of troubles. Director: Nicholas Ray Cast: Natalie Wood, James Dean, Sal Mineo, Jim Backus, Ann Doran, Corey Allen, Wiliam Hopper, Dennis Hopper James Dean was an American actor who is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as shown in his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause. The other two films that defined his stardom were East of Eden (1955) and Giant (1956). After his death in a car crash in 1955, Dean became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his role in East of Eden. Upon receiving a second nomination for his role in Giant the following year, Dean became the only actor to have had two posthumous acting nominations. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 18th best male movie star of Golden Age Hollywood in AFI's "100 Years...100 Stars" list.

Discussion | Photography from the Golden Age of Broadway
From the 1950s through the 1970s, the studio of Friedman-Abeles was among the most prolific photographers of Broadway theater. Over the last two decades, many of their photos have been digitized, including, in the past three years, almost all of their color slides. Fans familiar with cast recordings and movie versions can now see (or remember) what the original productions of the so-called golden age of Broadway musical theater looked like on stage. In this panel, long-time industry veteran Ted Chapin will interview a group of individuals with special connections to these photographs and the shows they documented. Registration required.

Book Discussion | The Punk-Rock Queen of the Jews: A Memoir
This is Rossi’s wild, queer coming-of-age story. Rossi was taught only to aspire to marry a nice Jewish boy and to be a good kosher Jewish girl.

Her freedom is cut short when her parents kidnap her and dump her with a Chasidic rabbi—a “cult buster” known for “reforming” wayward Jewish girls—in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

Concert | Northwest European Brass Band Tradition with a Twist
Taking Belgian whimsy to a logical, irresistible extreme, the Flat Eearth Society straddles the line between multi-color surrealism and savvy skill. Bandleader Peter Vermeersch and pianist Peter Vandenberghe have shaped their 15-piece orchestra into one of the unique bands of its kind. While Flat Earth Society's compositions and arrangements betray 20th century traditions--from jazz to rock, exotica and contemporary music--they embody a decidedly forward-looking 21st century spirit.

Lecture | Introduction to Chinese Film, Part 2: The Urban Generation, Three Mainland Chinese Auteurs You Should Know
Curious about Chinese cinema but don’t know where to begin? Ever wonder why in China, experts tend to think of their directors in terms of generations? Want to better understand how China’s censorship works? Come check out this two-part in person lecture series, and explore some of the best films that have come out of Mainland China in recent decades. Free video links and other resources will be shared at the end of the lectures for those interested in exploring Chinese films on their own. Some of the films being discussing include Yellow Earth, Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine, To Live, Beijing Bicycle, and Still Life. (Please note this series will only cover films that have come out of Mainland China since the early 1980s. Due to time constraints, Hong Kong and Taiwanese films will not be included in the series.)

Screening | Experience what can not be said: A Trilogy of Virtual Reality Films (online)
Gina Kim's virtual reality (VR) trilogy on US military comfort women, the Comfortless Trilogy, has garnered international acclaim ever since the director's first VR film, Bloodless, won the first Best VR story award at the 2017 Venice International Film Festival. The second project, Tearless (2021), further explored Kim's focus on bringing back the silenced voice of the comfort women through the viewer's embodied experience. The final VR film, Comfortless, which premiered at the Venice Immersive 2023, not only completed the trilogy, but also expanded the project's scope through the creation of the extended reality (XR) "American Town," the brothel town near the US Air Force base featured in the VR experience. The AR and XR versions of both Tearless and Comfortless have reached a larger audience beyond the exhibition venues, allowing their users to bring the critical sites of historical trauma into their personal spaces. This event will feature the director's talk on her journey from producing the VR trilogy to her recent experimentations with other reality media.

Book Discussion | That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America by Amanda Jones
Part memoir, part manifesto, the inspiring story of a Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity on the front lines of our vicious culture wars. One of the things small town librarian Amanda Jones values most about books is how they can affirm a young person's sense of self. So in 2022, when she caught wind of a local public hearing that would discuss “book content,” she knew what was at stake. Schools and libraries nationwide have been bombarded by demands for books with LGTBQ+ references, discussions of racism, and more to be purged from the shelves. Amanda would be damned if her community were to ban stories representing minority groups. She spoke out that night at the meeting. Days later, she woke up to a nightmare that is still ongoing. Amanda Jones has been called a groomer, a pedo, and a porn-pusher; she has faced death threats and attacks from strangers and friends alike. Her decision to support a collection of books with diverse perspectives made her a target for extremists using book banning campaigns-funded by dark money organizations and advanced by hard right politicians-in a crusade to make America more white, straight, and "Christian." But Amanda Jones wouldn't give up without a fight: she sued her harassers for defamation and urged others to join her in the resistance. Mapping the book banning crisis occurring all across the nation, That Librarian draws the battle lines in the war against equity and inclusion, calling book lovers everywhere to rise in defense of our readers. At this event, librarian Amanda Jones will discuss her new book and more with author Peter Parnell.

Concert | Opera in Concert: Vinkensport, or The Finch Opera and The Infinite Energy Of Ada Lovelace
"...an exuberant, rhythmically vibrant score by David T. Little with an infectious opening chorus." -The New York Times “[Kamala Sankaram] is one of the most exciting opera composers in the country.” -The Washington Post Mannes Opera presents an Opera in Concert double bill featuring the works of David T. Little and Kamala Sankaram, directed by Alison Pogolrec, offering an operatic lens into the strange world of human experience. Vinkensport, or The Finch Opera (2010/2018), composed by David T. Little on a libretto by Royce Vavrek, receives its New York premiere with Mannes Opera. Vinkensport is a bitter-sweet comedy in one act, which explores obsession, desire, and the need to prevail, through the frame of an obscure Flemish folk sport, “finch-sitting.” Trained finches race to sing the most “susk-e-wiets” over the course of an hour. As they compete, the joys, sorrows, delusions and all-too-stark realities of their trainers are revealed. The Infinite Energy of Ada Lovelace (2019), composed by Kamala Sankaram with a libretto by Rob Handel, follows Ada, Countess of Lovelace and Lord Byron's daughter, who has been asked to help Charles Babbage with his work on the Difference Engine. She struggles between her work in mathematics and upholding her reputation as a wife, mother, and public figure. The revolutionary concepts that she put forth in her notes about the potential ability of the Engine to carry out an algorithm led Ada to be considered the world’s first computer programmer.

Book Discussion | Modern Chinese Architecture: 180 Years (online)
Modern Chinese Architecture: 180 Years tells the story of the transformation of Chinese architecture from a traditional timber-frame, single-story building system with ceramic tile roofs of anonymous craftsmen to supertall skyscrapers designed by internationally acclaimed architects. From temple markets to megamalls, and from open-air stages to auditoriums and stadiums, the architectural changes mirror China's extraordinary evolution from an imperial dynasty to a people's republic and from a country with a largely rural and illiterate citizenry to at least 97% literacy, where 60 percent of the population is urban. In this live webinar, author Nancy S. Steinhardt will view the changes in Chinese architecture through five generations of architects: first, through foreigners who practiced in China; then in a first generation who studied modern architecture abroad; a third generation were the students who designed during the years of war with Japan, internal warfare, and the Cultural Revolution; in the 1980s, a next generation began to study abroad, who have been followed in this century by designers from every continent.

Book Discussion | The Jazzmen: How Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie Transformed America by Larry Tye
New York Times best-selling author Larry Tye discusses his latest book, The Jazzmen: How Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie Transformed America, with acclaimed jazz vocalist, New Yorker, and music royalty Catherine Russell. From the author of Satchel and Bobby Kennedy, comes a a sweeping portrait of the longtime kings of jazz--Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie--who, born within a few years of one another, overcame racist exclusion and violence to become the most popular entertainers on the planet. This is the story of three revolutionary American musicians, the maestro jazzmen who orchestrated the chords that throb at the soul of twentieth-century America: Duke Ellington, the grandson of slaves who was christened Edward Kennedy Ellington, was a man whose story is as layered and nuanced as his name suggests and whose music transcended category; Louis Daniel Armstrong was born in a New Orleans slum so tough it was called The Battlefield and, at age seven, got his first musical instrument, a ten-cent tin horn that drew buyers to his rag-peddling wagon and set him on the road to elevating jazz into a pulsating force for spontaneity and freedom; William James Basie, too, grew up in a world unfamiliar to white fans--the son of a coachman and laundress who dreamed of escaping every time the traveling carnival swept into town, and who finally engineered his getaway with help from Fats Waller. What is far less known about these groundbreakers is that they were bound not just by their music or even the discrimination that they, like nearly all Black performers of their day, routinely encountered. Each defied and ultimately overcame racial boundaries by opening America's eyes and souls to the magnificence of their music. In the process they wrote the soundtrack for the civil rights movement. Based on more than 250 interviews, this exhaustively researched book brings alive the history of Black America in the early-to-mid 1900s through the singular lens of the country's most gifted, engaging, and enduring African-American musicians.

Book Discussion | Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery by Seth Rockman
Historian and author Seth Rockman discusses his new book, Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery, with fellow writer Stephanie McCurry. The industrializing North and the agricultural South—that’s how we have been taught to think about the United States in the early nineteenth century. But in doing so, we overlook the economic ties that held the nation together before the Civil War. We miss slavery’s long reach into small New England communities, just as we fail to see the role of Northern manufacturing in shaping the terrain of human bondage in the South. Using plantation goods—the shirts, hats, hoes, shovels, shoes, axes, and whips made in the North for use in the South—historian Seth Rockman locates the biggest stories in American history in the everyday objects that stitched together the lives and livelihoods of Americans—white and Black, male and female, enslaved and free—across an expanding nation. By following the stories of material objects, such as shoes made by Massachusetts farm women that found their way to the feet of a Mississippi slave, Rockman reveals a national economy organized by slavery—a slavery that outsourced the production of its supplies to the North, and a North that outsourced its slavery to the South. Melding business and labor history, Plantation Goods brings northern industrialists, southern slaveholders, enslaved field hands, and paid factory laborers into the same picture. Examining producers and consumers linked in economic and moral relationships across great geographic and political distances, Plantation Goods brings together lines of American history that have for too long been told separately, as slavery and capitalism converge in something as deceptively ordinary as a humble pair of shoes.

Concert | WEVD and the Sounds of Jewish New York (In Person AND Online!)
It has been said that WEVD was the soundtrack of Jewish New York for much of the 20th century. Founded in 1927, the city's most popular Yiddish radio station billed itself as "the station that speaks your language." WEVD's original programming featured performances of Yiddish folk and theater music, concert and choral music, cantorials, Hassidic chant, klezmer, and more, much of it composed by its staff of composers and arrangers such as Joseph Rumshinsky, Alexander Olshanetsky, Sholom Secunda, Sam Medoff, Joe Garnett, and Abraham Ellstein. This year the station's massive music library, once nearly lost and destroyed, has been preserved. To mark the occasion, musicians will perform new arrangements from selected pieces, and artists and scholars will discuss the enduring relevance of the station's history and the creative output that it helped produce.

Book Discussion | Critique of Critique: Other Ways of Thinking
What is critique? According to the Kantian tradition, it is an investigation of the transcendental conditions for the possibility of thinking and experience. While later critics shifted the focus to material conditions, core metaphysical commitments and procedures of critique remained unchanged. Roy Ben-Shai probes critique as an orientation of thought through its historical manifestations from Plato to the Frankfurt school and present-day critical theory. He asks us to consider what critical thinking is and whether it can assume orientations other than critique.

Opening Reception | High Low Buffalo: Photography by 11 Grad Students
The collection showcases a selection of photographs by eleven artists from the University of Hartford's 2024 MFA Graduating Class. The name of the exhibition comes from a practice they implemented after each school session, which encouraged them to acknowledge and share the highs, lows, and unexpected moments - the "buffalos" - of their time together. The work reflects the space they have cultivated for one another and their dedication to the art of image-making.

Discussion | West African Dance to AfrikFusion: Intergenerational Stories
In this event, decades of tradition, creation, preservation, innovation, and transference of knowledge are on view with West African dance cultural icon Marie Basse-Wiles and her son Ballroom Legend Omari Wiles. A principal with the National Ballet of Senegal from 1973 to 1980, Wiles, after immigrating to America in 1982 founded the Maimouna Keita School of African Dance (MKSAD) in Brooklyn. For 32 years MKSAD has brought together the African diaspora in an annual conference and Basse-Wiles has trained generations of renown artists whose impact continues to resonate the world over, including tours to Senegal, Mali, Gambia, and Guinea. Her son Omari Wiles has followed in her footsteps while walking to the beat of his own drum, founding his own company Les Ballet Afrik (LBA) and creating AfrikFusion informed by Ball Culture, Vogue, and West African dance. Commissioned by Works & Process to collaborate on a new intergenerational work, Djapo, that brings together MKSAD and LBA and mother and son, is a presentation of the start of this new work that is the continuation of a rich dance history.

American schoolchildren have long learned about Squanto, the welcoming Native who made the First Thanksgiving possible, but his story goes deeper than the holiday legend. Born in the Wampanoag-speaking town of Patuxet in the late 1500s, Squanto was kidnapped in 1614 by an English captain, who took him to Spain. From there, Englishmen brought him to London and Newfoundland before sending him home in 1619, when Squanto discovered that most of Patuxet had died in an epidemic. A year later, the Mayflower colonists arrived at his home and renamed it Plymouth. With author Andrew Lipman.

Concert | Polish Composer and Traditional South American Sounds
Warsaw composer and musician Piotr Kurek’s acclaimed LP Smartwoods is a sprawling root system of tiny melodic phrases that loop around subtly evolving instrumental thickets. Kurek takes his cues from early music, baroque, and experimental jazz, entangling his influences with filigree traces of contemporary computer audio. Structured in seven distinct segments, the album blurs its acoustic and electronic elements into an illusory hedge of abstract sound. Kurek will perform his set with an ensemble of three local musicians on synths, guitar, bass, wind instruments and harp, with each player delicately intertwined into the Smartwoods. Following is Chuquimamani-Condor, a multi-disciplinary artist and musician. On their last album, 2023's DJ E, they drew on the traditional drum and ceremonial music of their Pakajaqueño family, fusing vivid, acerbic synths with Andean flutes and the cacophonous rhythms of the Aymara people.

Book Discussion | Fashion in American Life: Challenging Existing Approaches
An original contribution to fashion studies, Hazel Clark and Lauren Downing Peters's book challenges existing approaches to fashion in America by considering who 'makes' fashion-when, where, and how. Avoiding the usual emphasis on the 'history of fashion' which perpetuates the myth of fashion designers, and New York, as the originators of American fashion, this exploration of the everyday allows us to see American fashion as a form of agency, self-identification, creative engagement, and politics.

Screening | Silent Clowns Film Series: Harold Lloyd and Speedy (1928)
Remembered as the "third genius" of silent comedy, Harold Lloyd was first at the box-office in the 1920s. Speedy (1928) is not as well known as Safety Last (1923) or The Freshman (1925), but is equally funny and shows Lloyd at the peak of his cinematic skills. Set in Manhattan, the films boast some still recognizable New York City locations, as well as vanished icons like old Yankee Stadium and Babe Ruth. This was Lloyd's last silent film, and, along with the previous year's The Kid Brother (1927), was a final summing up of his mastery of the silent comedy feature. One of Lloyd's early one-reel shorts opens the program. The Silent Clowns Film Series is New York's longest-running regularly scheduled silent film showcase. The programming reaches the serious film buff by including rarely-screened titles and rare prints, yet it also introduces kids and new audiences to the classics of the silent screen. Screenings feature live piano accompaniment by MoMA's Ben Model, with an introduction and Q&A by film historians Model and Steve Massa. Registration required.

Performance | Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean
In the context of the current exhibition The Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean Venezuelan-Korean artist Suwon Lee presents the debut performance of Dictee/Exilee. In 1975, Korean American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's powerful performance Aveugle Voix embodied the challenges of expressing the migrant experience through language. By covering her eyes and mouth with bandages labeled "voice" and "blind," she enacted the fragmentation of identity, language, and memory. Cha's work, rich in multiplicity and multilingualism, is an enduring inspiration for the performance, Dictee/Exilee. In this piece, Suwon Lee pays homage to Cha's legacy while weaving a narrative that reflects her own journey as a Venezuelan woman living in self-imposed exile for the past eight years. Her performance explores the complexities of preserving identity and cultural memory amidst physical displacement. By reciting over 380 names of cities, streets, natural monuments, flora, and fauna from her homeland, she creates a "spoken portrait" that roots her in the cultural memory of Venezuela--a memory that transcends geographical and linguistic boundaries. In this performance, the dimmed lights, projected images, and spoken words intertwine to form a tunnel-like narrative, drawing the audience into a dreamlike exploration of identity, memory, and the unyielding ties to one's mother tongue. As Cha expressed in her seminal work Dictee, "Mother tongue is your refuge. It is being home." Dictee/Exilee is not just a performance--it is a reclamation of self, an affirmation that, despite the passage of time and distance, exile is not the end, but a continuation of one's cultural journey.

Book Discussion | Making Room: Three Decades of Fighting for Beds, Belonging, and a Safe Place for LGBTQ Youth by Carl Siciliano
From a pioneering advocate for LGBTQ youth, an impassioned account of how an unhoused queer youth's murder compelled him to create the nation's largest housing program for homeless LGBTQ teens. What power does a long-disenfranchised community hold to transform the treatment of its most abused members? How can we locate that power? Carl Siciliano met Ali Forney—a Black nonbinary teenager known for fierce loyalty to friends and an unshakeable faith that “my God will love me for who I am”—in 1994 while working at a daytime center for homeless youth in New York City. Nineteen years old, Forney was one of thousands Siciliano encountered who had been driven from their homes by rejecting families, forced to struggle in the streets due to homophobic and transphobic violence in the shelters. Then Forney was murdered, a moment of horror and devastation that exposed the brutality that teenagers like Forney faced in a city marked by gentrification, racist policing, and the onslaught of the AIDS epidemic. Anguished by Forney’s loss, Siciliano fought to create homes where unhoused queer teens could live safely, with their human dignity at last affirmed, while he helped lead a movement that compelled New York City to invest millions of dollars in kids who’d been ignored for decades. Siciliano writes with loving affection for Forney and many other queer teens, showing deep respect for their wisdom, courage, and spiritual integrity. Their stories illuminate the harsh realities faced by hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ youths suffering from homelessness across our nation. And, exposing the political and religious forces that continue to endanger LGBTQ youths, he makes a clarion call for their protection. At this event, Carl Siciliano will discuss his book and more with author Paul Elie.

This pivot from jobs to skills will require us to rethink everything we know about work. Author Ravin Jesuthasan returns, with coauthor Tanuj Kapilashrami, an international human resources leader, provide the framework organizations need to thrive in a world demanding perpetual reinvention.

Book Club | Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky: Modern Plant-based Recipes Using Native American Ingredients by Lois Ellen Frank
Some food historians say that 1491 to 1493 are the years the world began, in terms of food, that is. Prior to 1492, eight plants—corn, beans, squash, chile, tomato, potato, vanilla, and cacao—existed only in the Americas. Italy didn't have the tomato; Ireland didn't have the potato, nor Russia the vodka distilled from it; and there were no chiles in South Asia. When these ingredients crossed the ocean, they drastically transformed the way the Old World would eat and cook forever. Yet the average American, even those who cook with these foods regularly, doesn't know this history. Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky introduces the splendor and importance of Native culinary history and pairs it with delicious Native American-inspired dishes. Grounded in a primer on Native American cuisine and with a necessary discussion of food sovereignty and sustainability, Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky shares more than 100 nutritious, plant based recipes organized by each of the foundational ingredients. Grounded in Southwestern flavors, recipes like Blue Corn Hotcakes with Prickly Pear Syrup, Three Sisters Stew, and Green Chile Enchilada Lasagna, share the page—and plate—with essential basics like Corn Masa, Red and Green Chile Sauces, and Cacao Spice Rub for a celebration of Native foods

Screening | Silent Clowns Film Showcase: The Strong Man (1926)
After years in vaudeville, Harry Langdon made his movie debut in 1924, and his career blazed brightly until 1928. Forgotten for many years, today's he's considered one of the era's greatest and most original film clowns. The Strong Man (1926) was the second for his own production company, and is his best-known and most successful starring comedy. It's also the first feature for director Frank Capra, and is the best example of their close collaboration, featuring some of Langdon's most memorable and celebrated comedy set pieces. Although his top stardom ended in 1928, Harry continued to entertain audiences until 1945. The Silent Clowns Film Series is New York's longest-running regularly scheduled silent film showcase. The programming reaches the serious film buff by including rarely-screened titles and rare prints, yet it also introduces kids and new audiences to the classics of the silent screen. Screenings feature live piano accompaniment by MoMA's Ben Model, with an introduction and Q&A by film historians Model and Steve Massa. Registration required.

Lecture | Christmas in Little Germany in 1870s (online)
Learn the surprising history of Christmas in the NYC immigrant neighborhood -- Little Germany (Lower East Side today). As the result of new research into the German newspapers of the 1870s, and the accounts of John and Caroline Schneider, saloon owners in 97 Orchard Street, you will delve into the arguments about Christmas and its role in creating national identity for German immigrants in New York City. Should Christmas be celebrated at home or in saloons? How does one handle the American commercialism of Christmas? What does a national holiday mean in a still-new country?
