Opening Reception | Unreal: Solo Painting Exhibition Incorporating Humanistic Observation & Sly Humor
New paintings by Julie Curtiss. Curtiss’s stylized figures are positioned so their faces remain obscured, while the paintings’ cropped compositions of isolated body parts construct an overarching narrative of humanistic observation and sly humor. Set in a metropolitan fever dream of intimate apartment interiors, laundromats, bodegas, and a fortune teller’s window, this body of work examines life in New York City, reflecting on identity, gender, and aging with a pervasive feeling of unreality. “Nothing feels real right now,” Curtiss observes. “It’s not even surreal, just the feeling that nothing can be trusted. We are bombarded with fake everything, AI everything, infiltrating our lives and our sense of reality.”

Book Discussion | Debut Novel Celebration: The Squatters
Saba Brelvi shares her new book. About the book: Two families collide in Saba Brelvi’s The Squatters, a gripping debut that offers a piercing exploration of female friendship, particularly the kinds of bonds forged through proximity, motherhood, and social performance. Emotionally incisive, and morally unflinching, The Squatters explores the limits of compassion, the cost of solidarity, and interrogates the hidden boundaries of empathy within even the most intimate communities, revealing how quickly generosity can collapse when stability, property, and belonging feel under threat.

Book Discussion | Ecologist Shares His New Book, Before New York (In Person AND Online!)
Eric Sanderson in conversation with Michael Kimmelman. In Before New York, Eric W. Sanderson invites readers on a breathtaking journey through the evolution of New York City—its natural features, inhabitants, and geography—from long before Henry Hudson's arrival in 1609 up to the present day. This monumental work is the culmination of more than 25 years of research, featuring 75 original maps, 200 color illustrations, and nearly 4,000 detailed descriptions of streams, wetlands, rocks, plants, animals, and Indigenous settlements. An epic expansion of Sanderson's bestselling and critically acclaimed book Mannahatta, this atlas and gazetteer brings to life the lost world of Welikia, land we now describe as the five boroughs of New York City, revealing what has vanished, what survives, and what could be restored with vision and care.

Talk | Filmmaker Roundtable Discussing Themes of Migration, Identity, & the Quest for Belonging
Three powerful documentaries recently screened at the 2025 Queens World Film Festival: Home by Johanny Mota; Soñando America by Judit Angle; and Safari by Seyeon Bang. Katha Cato, Executive Director, Queens World Film Festival, and the filmmakers will be present to discuss the films. These three films explore migration, identity, and the quest for belonging from different corners of the world. Home centers on the Dominican immigrant experience and the meaning of “home”; Soñando America follows undocumented immigrants from Mexico striving for a better life; Safari tells the story of a North Korean defector whose escape and survival lead her toward a dream of freedom. Together, these films reveal shared themes of hope, resilience, and the human cost of seeking safety and opportunity.

Screening | Trust & Safety: Selection of Censored Works
A screening and conversation addressing the challenges faced by organizations entrusted with preserving artworks that test cultural, technological, and institutional limits. Artists and independent media organizations have long developed their own channels of circulation in response to cultural and institutional barriers. Histories of queer experimental media are especially bound up with these challenges. Artists created alternative networks for engaging sexuality, identity, and desire at moments of stringent cultural suppression. Today, commercial platforms apply standardized moderation systems to material whose meaning requires crucial historic context. The program features a selection of works from the collection by Peggy Ahwesh, Alex Bag, Ellen Cantor, Barbara Hammer, and Muntadas. The works were selected in relation to Vimeo’s content moderation policies and the limitations those policies pose for an archive of challenging media. Following the screening, Rebecca Cleman and Michael Connor will discuss the formation of alternative systems for distribution and access. Trust & Safety considers how arts organizations build and maintain their own technological infrastructure, and how federated systems such as PeerTube might support new networks for the circulation of challenging work.

Classical Music | Poetry Brought to Life through Chamber Music by J.S. Bach
An hour-long performance bringing together Bach’s music and the unpublished poetry of Czech writer and Holocaust survivor Arnošt Lustig, featuring Grammy winner Paul Bogaev. Lustig’s poem, The Breaking of the Vessels, written in exile, is heard alongside Bach’s cantata Ich habe genug (BWV 82). Drawing on Jewish mystical tradition, the performance explores memory, hope, and the resilience of humanity in a shattered world. Mezzo-soprano Marie Kopecká Verhoeven performs with Czech chamber ensemble Barocco sempre molto giovane, under the artistic direction of Josef Krečmer. Grammy and Emmy winner Paul Bogaev, Nancy Petschek-Kohn, and Samuel DeMuria bring Lustig’s words to life.

Book Discussion | Sociologist & Legal Scholar Discuss Their Books on the Economic Ecosystem
Ho-fung Hung, author of Greenback Empire, and Will Bateman, author of The Fiscal Fed in conversation. Greenback Empire: A critical history of the US dollar’s dominance in the world economy—and what has kept China’s currency from overtaking it. The dollar is the primary currency of the world economy. With China now rivaling the United States on the world stage, a critical question hangs in the balance: will the Chinese renminbi challenge the status of the dollar and, in doing so, deprive America of its “exorbitant privilege”? The Fiscal Fed: A revelatory history of how the Federal Reserve finances American power. Central banks, we are told, are economic superpowers that must remain independent of modern democratic governments. The US Federal Reserve’s presumed insulation from politics affords it autonomy and credibility to control inflation and promote economic stability—or so the story goes.

Opening Reception | Deja Vu: Solo Painting Exhibition Revisiting the Act of Looking
Ellen Gronemeyer presents twelve new oil paintings and, for the first time, five small tables. Positioning the imaginary space of a painting alongside functional objects, the exhibition considers the act of looking, and the permeability of fantasy and reality.Gronemeyer’s studio practice is led by her materials, and an unconscious process. Working on many compositions simultaneously, the paint itself becomes a central protagonist. Each finished work is built up of many layers of oil paint, creating a friction between image and surface. The artist’s bold color palette is tempered with black and white, bringing depth and luminosity.

Film | Taazrit (2024): Algerian Documentary + Book Discussion
Lucy McNair and Habiba Boumlik discuss their book, An Introduction to North African Indigenous Film (2025), with a screening of Taazrit (2024). Amazigh Cinema: Introduction to North African Indigenous Film (2025), co-edited by Lucy McNair and Yahya Laayouni, is a collection of essays by an international group of experts on North African Indigenous expression and media, which offers the first English-language analysis of Amazigh cinema for North American and global readers, taking note of a growing archive of under-examined Amazigh-related films. Taazrit (2024): This film follows the daily life of Habiba, a Chaoui woman from Ghassira, a semi-desert village in the Aurès Mountains of eastern Algeria. Far from neo-orientalist stereotypes, her relationship to the land resonates as an expression of collective memory — the memory of generations of women who shaped their lives beyond official narratives and modern conceptions that reduce belonging to an act of ownership. In Arabic, Chaoui, and French, with English subtitles.

Staged Reading | The Dybbuk: Legendary Folk Drama Inspired by Jewish Folklore
A staged reading of Sh. An-ski's play of spiritual possession and predestined love. Growing out of An-ski's ethnographic expeditions to the Pale of Settlement between 1912 and 1914, The Dybbuk includes a wealth of detail pulled from Jewish folklore. During these expeditions, An-ski and a team took photographs, made recordings, and gathered hundreds of folktales, folksongs, and sacred objects to document traditional Eastern European Jewish life. The resulting play, originally written in Russian between 1913 and 1916, was translated into Yiddish by An-ski himself and is considered a canonic work of Yiddish theater, which has inspired countless film, opera, and ballet adaptations. This staged reading is directed by Mikhl Yashinsky. This reading will be in Yiddish with English supertitles.

Workshop | Guide Finding Photography Inpiration
In this talk, cinematographer David Geffen shares photographs and stories from productions both at home and abroad and shows how the same eye, the same handful of habits, and a desire to see more deeply carry across all facets of image-making. Whether you're just starting out or a serious enthusiast, you'll leave with practical ways to stay inspired and to find something worth photographing wherever you happen to be. After fifteen years creating images, David Geffin has come to believe almost the opposite: the best images come from how you look and what you see, simple habits anyone can develop. What you'll take away: - How to train your eye to notice light, texture, and the overlooked - Why your own backyard is one of the richest subjects you have - Simple habits that keep you creatively charged instead of waiting for inspiration to strike - Lessons in seeing that work with any camera you already own - How traveling for work or for pleasure can sharpen the way you make images at home

Opening Reception | Fogo-Fátuo: Solo Exhibition Approaching Nature through Obscurity & Transformation
New works by São Paulo‑based artist Alexandre Wagner. Fogo-Fátuo, the Brazilian Portuguese term for will-o’-the-wisp, describes a fleeting phenomenon in which bluish or greenish flames appear above the ground, produced by gases released through the decomposition of organic matter. Most commonly associated with swamps and waterlogged terrain, these elusive lights emerge from the darkness, illuminating their surroundings without fully revealing them. In these paintings, Wagner approaches nature through an environment of obscurity and transformation, allowing forms to flow seamlessly into one another rather than organizing them into discrete categories. His working process relies on fluid paint layers and a stiff-bristled brush that removes material as it is applied. Through these repetitive, excavatory gestures, the act of erasure becomes a primary tool of construction. Light appears to rise from deep within the canvas rather than an external source, illuminating fragments while leaving others suspended beyond reach. The resulting compositions sustain a negotiation between visibility and mystery, offering brief illuminations of a world governed by transformation, interdependence, and poetic depth.

The exhibition brings together photographs by Laurie Simmons from three series spanning nearly two decades: Walking Objects (1987–91), Legs & Shoes (1996), and The Vogue Pictures (2005), the latter two on view for the first time. By the early 1980s, Laurie Simmons had established herself at the forefront of a generation of artists whose approach to photography fundamentally changed the terms of contemporary art. Working with staged sets, domestic props, and the loaded imagery of postwar American culture, Simmons exposed how photographs shape the way society understands femininity, the domestic sphere, and the expectations encoded in both. She did all of this with considerable wit.

Gallery Talk | Art History Talk: Discover the Life & legacy of Joan Miro
Explore the life and work of an iconic modern artist. Miro's works are hard to classify but do express his pride in his Catalan heritage (references to Barcelona and the countryside) and his contempt for conventional art. The unconscious and subconscious interact with a child-like wonder and dreamlike imagery so he might be dubbed a surrealist. After 1920, he spent winters in Paris and summers on the family farm near Barcelona. He directly influenced Pollock, Calder, and Rothko. His themes are sex, humor, nature, excrement, and playfulness along with fear and anger. He worked in oil, gouache, bronze, and ceramics.

Film | The Lovers on the Bridge (1991): French Romantic Drama
Centered on the Pont Neuf during its restorative closure, this film weaves a visceral romance between two drifters, Alex and Michèle. Alex, a performer grappling with addiction, finds an unlikely companion in Michèle, an artist whose world is fading due to a progressive visual impairment and a fractured past. Alongside an elder companion, Hans, they carve out an existence on Paris’s oldest bridge. As Michèle’s sight fails, her reliance on Alex intensifies, creating a fragile bond. When a medical cure surfaces and her family launches a public search, Alex, consumed by the terror of abandonment, desperately obscures the truth. The cinematic tapestry uses the 1989 Bicentennial festivities as a grand, atmospheric stage for their desperate connection amidst the city’s waterways and skies.

The Cauldron, by Simon Sebag Montefiore, takes the reader on a spectacular journey from the Ottoman sultanate to the Trump presidency, from Morocco to Iran -- a panorama brought to life by an extraordinary cast of kings, warriors, poets, terrorists, and peacemakers. A master storyteller, Montefiore reveals the origins of the world we live in.

Talk | Interdisciplinary Artist Shares His Techniques of "Hallucinatory" Drawing (In Person AND Online!)
This presentation by Mark West will describe a practice that adopts methods of Finding rather than methods of Control. These include techniques of "hallucinatory" drawing utilizing the very human capacity for pareidolia, structural form-finding utilizing yielding and flexible materials, and somehow parallel sculptural findings as well. These are examples of how a longstanding fixation on Control may be softened and dissolved by surprisingly simple methods. The presentation will be followed by a Q & A.

Talk | National Book Award Finalist Discusses How Literature Can Shape Radical Political Moments
Over the past decade, Camonghne Felix has been at the center of American politics, working in strategy, communications, and as a speechwriter. Throughout it all, she has maintained her unwavering belief in language's foundational revolutionary potential, outside of its deployment for legislative and political ends. In Let the Poets Govern, she argues that Black radical poetic traditions model an ethical code and overcome entrenched structures of patriarchy and paternalism, inventing a new form that examines the historical and legislative, and the personal and poetic.

Author Reading | Psychoanalysts Discuss Their Book on Freud
Jamieson Webster and Patricia Gherovici share their new book, Case by Case. Freud’s ‘talking cure’ and its offshoots are more widespread today than ever. But as the divisive issues of our time grow more urgent, a contentious question persists: must psychoanalysis remove itself from politics altogether in order to be effective? Or is it inherently political? Specific disagreements about how clinicians should or shouldn’t engage with imperialism, violence, race, and gender identity point to the broader question of where politics is situated in our psychic life. Is it on the periphery – a symptom or displacement – or right at the heart of the matter?

Musical | The Precipice: Coming-of-Age, Feminist Fairytale Musical (Premiere)
As with her previous show, Spiral Bound, composer, lyricist, and performer Miranda Ferriss Jones brings together a majority-women collective spanning generations and disciplines, including Jones herself alongside Tony Award winner Laura Benanti. With The Precipice, Jones asks the question, "What will you do when they come for your wild?" This original, feminist fairy tale follows Iris and Polly, daughters of Lady Midnight, Goddess of Dreams. Each embodies half of their mother: Polly, the dark, and Iris, the light. Separated on Earth and raised in vastly different worlds, they reunite as teenagers and must fight to preserve their identities. This mythic coming-of-age tale affirms the greatest threat to an oppressive society is a sisterhood bound together by unbridled freedom and radical love. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Play | Witch: Darkly Comic Contemporary Retelling of a Jacobean Drama
A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a "witch" and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her - and then returns again - unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by. Written by Jen Silverman. Directed by Daniella Caggiano.

Dance Performance | Characters, Voice, & Dance Emerging from the Sacred Circle
An evening of sharing dance and theater works by Omri Drumlevich. A group of collaborating artists lead an evening where characters, voices, and dance emerge from and return to one of humanity’s most ancient forms of sharing stories, prayers, and movement: the sacred circle. Drumlevich’s work explores the complexities of human nature through theological, philosophical, and ethical questions. Drawing inspiration from mythology, cosmology, life on stage, and the enchanting power of movement, patterns, and ritual, his work brings together the cosmic and the earthly, the human and the fantastic, the personal and the universal, the private and the public, the abstract and the contextual. Throughout the evening, audiences will be invited into a shared space of curiosity and reflection, including an open conversation with the performing artists — an opportunity to ask questions, exchange thoughts, and explore the work together.

Author Reading | Translators Read from Book by Nobel Prize-Nominated German Writer
Readings from the new book, Ingeborg Bachmann: The Complete Stories, and a conversation between the book's translators, Philip Boehm and Tess Lewis, that will be moderated by Dorothee Elmiger. This book spans three decades of work from one of the most important German-language writers of the last century. Each of these short stories, beautifully translated by Philip Boehm and Tess Lewis, depicts people at a crossroads, facing decisions about life, truth, love, and death. In addition to the collections "Three Paths to the Lake" and "The Thirtieth Year," this volume includes many stories that have never appeared in English before. In this collection, Ingeborg Bachmann explores the limits of language and experience, grappling with the maladies of modern civilization, with love and sex, with patriarchy and its brutalities.

Screening | Blue Skies Over Chinatown: Selected Digitized CCTV Broadcasts
From 1976 to 1983, a group of filmmakers and activists in Manhattan's Chinatown built something radical with a utopian vision: a community-run television station broadcasting in Cantonese, by and for the neighborhood. For seven years, Chinese Cable Television (CCTV) covered labor strikes, battles against gentrification, neighborhood services, and Hong Kong soap dramas--all from a loft on East Broadway. This screening presents selected digitized CCTV . Footage includes coverage of the 1980 Silver Palace Restaurant strike, boycott campaign against the launch of the film Charlie Chan: The Curse of Dragon Queen, and the historic 1982 garment workers' rally that mobilized over 20,000 Chinese immigrant women. The screening will be followed by a conversation with documentary filmmaker and former CCTV producer Nancy Tong.

Tour | Guided Exhibition Tour Exploring Ancient Magic Practices
A walk through the current exhibition, Cursed! The Power of Magic in the Ancient World. From its integration into religious traditions in Mesopotamia and Egypt, to its marginal, often illicit status in Greece and Rome, magic played a central role in ancient societies. Cursed! examines the visualization and practice of magic between 2000 BCE and 300 CE in these communities, featuring rare objects in a variety of media-including sculpture in stone and bronze; decorated ceramics; amulets in semiprecious stones, gold, and silver; and papyrus scrolls. Taken together, these artifacts reveal a shared human desire: to influence the unseen forces shaping life and death.

Dance Performance | Toad Mountain: Work-in-Progress Contemporary Dance Performance Inspired by Folklore
Jie-Hung Connie Shiau’s performance draws on Taiwanese folklore to explore the hidden interior spaces where we store memory, silence, instinct, and grief, the pieces of ourselves we preserve, protect, or abandon in the name of self-preservation, some by conscious choice and others slowly, invisibly, over time. Folklore has long served as a vessel for what a society cannot always speak aloud, and Shiau’s process returns to those mythic landscapes not as nostalgia but as mirrors, an attempt to uncover where we hide, what we bury, and what we might finally be ready to release and reconcile.

Film | Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940): Classic Romantic Psychological Thriller with Laurence Olivier & Joan Fontaine
A story of a marriage haunted by the aura of the husband's dead first wife. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, Judith Anderson, George Sanders, Reginald Denny, Gladys Cooper Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense," he became as famous as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations. Laurence Olivier was an English actor and director who dominated the British stage of the mid-20th century. He also worked in films throughout his career, playing more than fifty cinema roles. For his on-screen work, he received two Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, five Emmy Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards. The National Theatre's largest auditorium is named in his honor, and he is commemorated in the Laurence Olivier Awards, given annually by the Society of London Theatre. Joan Fontaine was an English-American actress best known for her roles in Hollywood films during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Fontaine appeared in more than 45 films in a career that spanned five decades. Her Academy Award for Suspicion makes Fontaine the only actress to have won an Oscar for acting in a Hitchcock film. She and her sister Olivia remain the only siblings to have won lead-acting Academy Awards.

Workshop | Archeologists Discuss Archeological Preservation in the Big Apple
Celebrating 60 years of historic preservation that has helped archaeologists uncover these hidden histories and bring the stories of generations of New Yorkers to light. This event presents a fascinating look into archaeological preservation and the landmark legislation that has helped protect New York City's past. PANYC President Kelly Britt speaks with a panel of urban archaeology experts who share discoveries made possible by the NHPA. The conversation digs deep into Section 106, which requires federal agencies to consider how projects may affect historic properties and archaeological resources, both above and below ground, as well as additional city and state policies. From burial grounds and military sites to working-class neighborhoods and the remains of everyday life, see how these finds show stories that written records alone cannot tell.

Decades after her death, Mexican artist Frida Kahlo has become a feminist icon, queer touchstone, political symbol, and ubiquitous commodity. The perspectives of scholars, artists, artisans, collectors, and devoted fans explore how Kahlo's image has been claimed, reproduced, marketed, and reimagined while her paintings continue to inspire deeply.

Opening Reception | 3AM Eternal: Solo Exhibition of "Hyperstimuli"
A solo show by artist Isaac Escoto. 3AM is the graffiti writer’s hour—the hour when Escoto, working for years under the tag SICKID, first learned to move through Los Angeles unsupervised. It’s the hour we’re told is when bad things happen, and it’s also, as Escoto points out, when some of the city’s labor is just clocking in: dishwashers, security guards, delivery drivers, the people keeping the lights on while everyone else sleeps. A hard-won innocence sits folded into that hour right alongside its danger. Eternal carries a similar doubleness; is something eternal because it lasts forever, or because it never resolves, the way a loop or an addiction never resolves? Is eternal about life, or about the flattening sameness of a death that keeps recurring? The show doesn’t answer these questions so much as hold them open, the way Escoto holds open nearly every binary he paints: good and bad, pleasure and shame, exploitation and survival. A word Escoto keeps returning to for this body of work is “hyperstimuli.” Growing up steeped in those video-game interfaces, commercial imagery, and graffiti, he used to think of hyperstimuli as pure pleasure, as “eye candy.” Now, he says, “it almost feels like we hyper-stimulize ourselves in order to drown out the things of the real world because the real world is so hard to deal with.”

Opening Reception | Bound and Unbound: Solo Artist Exhibition Redefining the Japanese Tradition of Paper Cutting
An exhibition by the Kyoto-born, Jacksonville-based artist, Hiromi Mizugai Moneyhun. Rooted in kirie, the Japanese tradition of paper cutting, Moneyhun’s practice redefines the act of cutting as a generative process, transforming negative space into an integral element of sculptural form. Bound and Unbound explores the paradox of cutting, where each incision simultaneously removes and creates. By transforming negative space into a dynamic sculptural presence, Moneyhun extends an ordinary medium—paper—beyond its material limits.

Opening Reception | I See You: Solo Painting Exhibition Providing Visual Records of Potent Memories
Michael Alvarez’s paintings have the resonance of lived experience processed through hazy recollection. The artist describes his paintings as an effort to acknowledge moments of beauty and humor, alongside the complexity and struggle of daily life. As he paints the people, creatures, and places he spends time with, these memories become shared stories. The paintings in the exhibition serve as visual records of potent memories from the past several years. Several of the works take the form of a daily journal. The images largely feature his family, friends, and the cityscape of the east side of Los Angeles.

Opening Reception | Terrain: Multi-Artist Exhibition on the Universality of Humanity's Connection to the Earth
A group exhibition bringing together a diverse range of artistic perspectives spanning nearly two centuries. Rather than following a strictly chronological framework, the exhibition establishes an open dialogue across generations and geographies, exploring the universality of humanity's connection to the earth. The exhibition highlights the varied ways in which artists engage with their environments, beginning with the unique charm of the Danish countryside. Danish artists Svavar Guonason, Else Alfelt, and Else Fischer Hansen bring the natural world into their work through abstract depictions of mountainscapes and seasides, driven by a passion for environmental activism. While these abstract painters capture the emotional essence of the land, the medium of photography offers a different lens on reality. Master photographers Paul Strand and Edward Weston understood that they could use their cameras to capture and isolate the subtle, intricate details found in the natural world, elevating them into profound visual statements.

Play | Witch: Darkly Comic Contemporary Retelling of a Jacobean Drama
A charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target, having been labeled a "witch" and cast out by the town, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her - and then returns again - unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama, this sharp, subversive fable debates how much our souls are wroth when hope is hard to come by. Written by Jen Silverman. Directed by Daniella Caggiano.

Workshop | Large-Scale Graffiti Mural-Making with Established Street Artist
Learn the basics of mural making with DAZE, an NYC graffiti legend. Brooklyn-born and Bronx-raised Chris "Daze" Ellis has been in the graffiti scene since the mid-1970s, painting alongside local legends like DONDI, SKEME and ZEPHR. DAZE was one of the few artists of his generation to break into the world of fine art while still maintaining a presence in the streets. Over a 50-year artistic career, DAZE's work has been shown in Paris, Hong Kong, Florence, Beijing, and Monte Carlo. Led by DAZE, participants will draft their own tags and designs onto a canvas, working together to form a representation of self and family that will stand the test of time. Afterward, DAZE will oversee the integration of all participants' artworks into one large-scale mural, showing how artists can collaborate to fill a space without giving up what makes their work special. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Jazz | Coltrane at 100: Music, Words, and Legacy
This event celebrates the life and music of John Coltrane in honor of his centennial. First performed in 2019 in North Carolina, Coltrane's home state, the show now makes its New York premiere. The program features arrangements of Coltrane's music alongside original compositions inspired by his life, written for a 17-piece jazz band by Joseph Herbst. Spoken word is interwoven throughout the show, bringing to life Coltrane in his own words as the script is all pulled from interviews and writings by Coltrane, allowing those less familiar with Coltrane's work to be fully immersed as well. While drawing some inspiration from his music directly, the show explores the beliefs, philosophy, and morality of Coltrane as seen in his interviews, resulting in a new experience of Coltrane as a person as well as a musician.

Book Discussion | Living a Meaningful Jewish Life Today (Online!)
Join a discussion of Rabbi Rachel Ain’s new book, Watch How You Go: Jewish Wisdom for Your Journey Ahead. Drawing on Jewish tradition, more than two decades in the rabbinate, and her experiences as a mother, wife, daughter, and communal leader, Ain reflects on what it means to live a meaningful Jewish life today.
Originally written for her sons as they set out into the world, the book opens with questions many of us face: how to balance family, work, faith, and responsibility. She asks how to sustain belief through hardship, find belonging among the Jewish people, and respond to uncertainty, disagreement, antisemitism, and change. Rooted in tradition, Ain makes room for questions, growth, and the realities of modern life.

Book Club | Novella Discussion: Recent Novel by Award-Winning Author
At this book club session, the group will discuss Olga Ravn's 2025 book, The Wax Child, translated from Danish by Martin Aitken. In seventeenth-century Denmark, Christenze Kruckow, an unmarried noblewoman, is accused of witchcraft. She and several other women are rumored to be possessed by the Devil, who has come to them in the form of a tall headless man and gives them dark powers: they can steal people's happiness, they have performed unchristian acts, and they can cause pestilence or even death. They are all in danger of the stake. The Wax Child, narrated by a wax doll created by Christenze Kruckow, is an unsettling horror story about brutality and power, nature and witchcraft, set in the fragile communities of premodern Europe. Deeply researched and steeped in visceral, atmospheric detail, The Wax Child is based on a series of real witchcraft trials that took place in Northern Jutland in the seventeenth century. Full of lush storytelling and alarmingly rich imagination, Olga Ravn weaves in quotes from original sources such as letters, magical spells and manuals, court documents, and Scandinavian grimoires.

Classical Music | "Expressive & Stylish" (Financial Times) Historic Chamber Ensemble Performs Works by Couperin & More
Sonnambula opens its season with the premiere of previously lost work by Baroque composer Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. Four "airs" written for the court at Versailles, discovered to be printed at the back of a 1712 educational treatise in the collection of The Morgan Library & Museum, have remained unresearched, unrecorded, and unperformed. These airs shed light on how women composers navigated the porous boundaries between elite entertainment, teaching, and public musical life in early eighteenth-century France and are testimony to how Jacquet de La Guerre worked within this complex environment. Sonnambula is joined by mezzo-soprano Chloe Holgate in a program that also features works by Jacquet de La Guerre's contemporaries Marin Marais, Francois Couperin, and Michel Richard Delalande, as well as a world premiere by Stephen Anthony Weinfield.

Rather than seeking accommodation within established religious frameworks, the work presents queer community and ritual as sacred traditions in their own right.

Opening Reception | one wing: Solo Painting Exhibition Capturing the Essence of a Feeling
An exhibition of new paintings realized over the last year by Ellen Siebers. Based in Hudson, New York, Siebers paints to capture the essence of a feeling, with compositions that combine elements of still life, landscape, and figure painting in a unique visual language. Working through multiple compositions at once, Siebers approaches painting as an act of discovery. Her atmospheric works reveal themselves over the course of several months, often finding inspiration in a variety of sources from life or media—a photograph, a film still, a figure in the clouds—but never ending there. Each work begins with an act of observation, but Siebers embraces the act of departure that follows. United by a considered attention to surrounding conditions of light, color, form, and texture, her works bear witness to the state of presence.

Book Discussion | A Postwar German Literary Masterpiece Rediscovered: Translator & Novelest Discuss
Illusions' translator Rob Madole joins writer Megan Nolan for a conversation about this book. Upon publication, critics were baffled by author Ruth Rehmann's frank treatment of sexuality—mistaking it for frivolousness—and faulted her style for “an excess of contemporaneity.” Read today, its focus on the poverty of human connection within an abundant and stubbornly traditional society feels shockingly prescient. Illusions follows four employees of the Wellis Corporation over one unsatisfactory weekend: grey-haired secretary Frau Schramm, frustrated translator Paul Westermann, fadingly glamorous Carmen Viol, and restless young assistant Therese Pfeiffer. Narrated in a prismatic, stream-of-consciousness style that jumps fluidly among characters, the book offers a portrait of the claustrophobic tension beneath postwar capitalism. Originally published by Suhrkamp in 1959 during West Germany's "economic miracle," Illusions incisively examines a regime attempting to slough off its Nazi past through a zealous drive to modernize and a rhetoric of material abundance.

Concert | Percussive Music Experience
A powerful performance that celebrates the enduring legacy of one of America’s most influential composers and the artists carrying his legacy forward. Drumming moves fluidly between different families of instruments — from bongos, marimbas, and glockenspiels to whistling and the human voice — and requires an almost telepathic communication between players. This concert honors the mentors, educators, and musical visionaries who are shaping the next generation.

Book Discussion | Historical Geographer Discusses What Has Influenced NYC's Culture & Identity
Rashad Shabazz traces how New York City evolved from its Dutch origins to the rise of hip-hop in the South Bronx. As part of his ongoing research for a book in progress, Shabazz, associate professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University, examines how figures such as Peter Stuyvesant, John Randel Jr., and Robert Moses transformed New York City through major urban planning projects. Shabazz considers the lasting impact of these choices, including how the Cross Bronx Expressway disrupted poor Black and Puerto Rican neighborhoods in the South Bronx while unintentionally creating the conditions from which hip-hop emerged.

Book Club | Reading & Discussing Dealing With the Dead by Alain Mabanckou
This book club will be reading and discussing a fiction book set in a new country every month, with a high priority on reading books in translation that are written by authors from the countries the group is visiting. This month: Congo. Dealing With the Dead by Alain Mabanckou, translated from French by Helen Stevenson! About the book: Abruptly deceased at the age of twenty-four and trapped forever in flared purple trousers, Liwa Ekimakingaï encounters the other residents of Frère Lachaise cemetery, all of whom have their own complex stories of life and death. Unwilling to relinquish their tender bond, Liwa makes his way back home to Pointe-Noire to see his devoted grandmother one last time, against all spectral advice. But disturbing rumours swirl together with Liwa's jumbled memories of his last night on earth, leading him to pursue the riddle of his own untimely demise. A phantasmagorical tale of ambition, community and forces beyond human control, Dealing with the Dead is a scathing satire on corruption and political violence by one of the foremost chroniclers of modern Central Africa.

From its integration into religious traditions in Mesopotamia and Egypt, to its marginal, often illicit status in Greece and Rome, magic played a central role in ancient societies. Cursed! examines the visualization and practice of magic between 2000 BCE and 300 CE in these communities, featuring rare objects in a variety of media-including sculpture in stone and bronze; decorated ceramics; amulets in semiprecious stones, gold, and silver; and papyrus scrolls. Taken together, these artifacts reveal a shared human desire: to influence the unseen forces shaping life and death.

Workshop | Accessible, Grounding, & Restorative Yoga in the Park

Tour | Guided Exhibition Tour Exploring Ancient Magic Practices
A walk through the current exhibition, Cursed! The Power of Magic in the Ancient World. From its integration into religious traditions in Mesopotamia and Egypt, to its marginal, often illicit status in Greece and Rome, magic played a central role in ancient societies. Cursed! examines the visualization and practice of magic between 2000 BCE and 300 CE in these communities, featuring rare objects in a variety of media-including sculpture in stone and bronze; decorated ceramics; amulets in semiprecious stones, gold, and silver; and papyrus scrolls. Taken together, these artifacts reveal a shared human desire: to influence the unseen forces shaping life and death.

Raven Jiang's commercial and personal work. Jiang’s artistic exploration is akin to a symphony gradually taking shape. She transforms the complexities of human emotions into a series of visual forms, akin to musical notes. These forms not only capture the subtle shifts in human emotions but also create a dynamic rhythm full of musicality through the precise use of points, lines, and planes, and the bold contrast of color blocks, constructing a multilayered geometric visual narrative. Her artistic vision breaks free from singular visual expression.

Tour | Guided Exhibition Tour Exploring Ancient Magic Practices
A walk through the current exhibition, Cursed! The Power of Magic in the Ancient World. From its integration into religious traditions in Mesopotamia and Egypt, to its marginal, often illicit status in Greece and Rome, magic played a central role in ancient societies. Cursed! examines the visualization and practice of magic between 2000 BCE and 300 CE in these communities, featuring rare objects in a variety of media-including sculpture in stone and bronze; decorated ceramics; amulets in semiprecious stones, gold, and silver; and papyrus scrolls. Taken together, these artifacts reveal a shared human desire: to influence the unseen forces shaping life and death.

Musical | El y Ella: Rom-Com Musical Blending Mariachi, Cumbia, Ranchera, Corrido, & Nortena Traditions
At the intersection of a love story and an immigrant journey, this show is inspired by the true story of two Mexican artists who fall in love and move to New York on a whim.

Film | How I See It: Rocco (2026) -- Short Music Documentary + Live Performances & FIlmmaker Discussion
When Rocco Fiorentino was born four months premature, doctors gave him a less than 5% chance of survival. His unyielding spirit shone through from the beginning, and while his retinopathy of prematurity left him completely blind, he overcame the odds and began an incredible life journey. His music-filled story explores the nature of inner vision and deep human connection, and reveals that sometimes our eyes get in the way of true seeing. As guests arrive, the evening will kick off with a performance* by the FMDG Music School Latin Jazz Ensemble, then by the short documentary film How I See It: Rocco. This will be followed by a post-film talkback with legally blind director and filmmaker Daria Zawadzki, co-director and filmmaker Karen Shapiro, Emmy-winning producer and filmmaker Shaun Kadlec, and Rocco Fiorentino. The evening will conclude with a performance by The Mama Foundation’s Sing Harlem choir, followed by a chance to mingle. Directors: Daria Zawadzki, Karen Shapiro

Tour | Guided Exhibition Tour Exploring Ancient Magic Practices
A walk through the current exhibition, Cursed! The Power of Magic in the Ancient World. From its integration into religious traditions in Mesopotamia and Egypt, to its marginal, often illicit status in Greece and Rome, magic played a central role in ancient societies. Cursed! examines the visualization and practice of magic between 2000 BCE and 300 CE in these communities, featuring rare objects in a variety of media-including sculpture in stone and bronze; decorated ceramics; amulets in semiprecious stones, gold, and silver; and papyrus scrolls. Taken together, these artifacts reveal a shared human desire: to influence the unseen forces shaping life and death.

Film | Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946): Classic Holiday Fantasy Drama with James Stewart
A holiday favorite for generations… George Bailey has spent his entire life giving to the people of Bedford Falls. All that prevents rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town is George’s modest building and loan company. But on Christmas Eve the business’s $8,000 is lost, and George’s troubles begin. Director: Frank Capra Cast: James Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Mitchell, Henry Travers Frank Capra was an Italian-American film director, producer, and screenwriter who was the creative force behind several major award-winning films of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles from the age of five, his rags-to-riches story has led film historians such as Ian Freer to consider him the "American Dream personified". Capra became one of America's most influential directors during the 1930s, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director from six nominations. James Stewart was an American actor known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona. Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality, which he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors. He received numerous honors, including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985.

Classical Music | Chamber Works by Telemann, Handel, & More (In Person AND Online!)
Jimmy Drancsak, violin, Nuria Canales Rubio, flute, Allen Maracle, cello, and Nathan Mondry, harpsichord. Telemann becomes the narrator of this tale of affects, weaving together the larger works. With his guidance, we embark on a journey through musical gesture, from the rhetoric of Hotteterre's refined joyfulness to the Galant style. At the heart of this tale, Handel's "wordless opera" transforms tragic motifs from Tamerlano into an instrumental dialogue. From this dramatic center, the journey unfolds into the gestural world of C.P.E. Bach's Empfindsamkeit.
