Performance | Fabric Softener: Performance Art Inspired by Toni Morrison
Asia Stewart's Fabric Softener is a theatrical response to Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, offering an imagined ritual with the power to revive young Black women and insist on their survival. Stewart draws on three characters from the many who populate Morrison's 1977 novel: Pilate, her daughter Reba, and granddaughter Hagar. In the original text, Hagar dies of a broken heart after deeming herself unworthy of love, beauty, and acceptance. In her performance, punctuated by musical outbursts of spirituals and passages from the novel, Stewart presents three new characters who are not recreations of these women but are instead archetypes: The Laundress, The Celebrant, and The Witness. The performance begins as The Celebrant and The Witness prepare The Laundress for an intervention: a baptism, a becoming, and a funeral for what used to be and can no longer exist.

Concert | Fefita La Grande, One of the Most Important Dominican Musicians - Outdoors
Over 70 years of creating and performing, Manuela Josefa Cabrera Taveras, better known as Fefita La Grande, has established herself as one of the most important figures in Dominican music. As a pioneer of the art of merengue t?pico, the rustic variation of merengue unique to the Dominican Republic, she is a rare female champion of the accordion, paving the way for countless other women in an otherwise male-dominated profession. Fefita has also earned considerable renown as a celebrated vocalist and phenomenally popular composer and lyricist, whose rendition of the traditional folk song "La Chiflera" is considered emblematic of t?pico's appeal. Her ability to reinvent her sound has kept Fefita's work freshly appreciated across generations, as proven by recent collaborations with stars like Milly Quezada and Krisspy. Fefita's Lincoln Center premiere on the big stage offers audiences an opportunity to witness the Queen of Merengue T?pico at her creative height.

Opening Reception | 2 Exhibitions: Tropical Frequencies / Hope is a discipline
Hope is a discipline inhabits the words of Mariame Kaba, who proposes that hope is neither just a feeling nor horizon but something we do together, using the resources we already have. The exhibition features an ensemble of artists foregrounding memory and political inheritance, who work with collectively held archives—physical and intangible—from documentary record to oral history, ancestral memory to intergenerational learning. Transmitted through textile, installation, video, theater props, artist books and ephemera, Hope is a discipline relays the question: how do we find, remember, and share in the struggles of ancestors? Tropical Frequencies is an exhibition featuring painting, sculpture and installations by artists from the Caribbean who channel and engage with alternate realms in their practices. These spiritual and intangible realms are heavily influenced by diasporic Caribbean culture, the tropics, ancestral stories, and the artists’ African and/or Indigenous roots. The repurposed organic and manmade materials used throughout the exhibition such as wood, sand, seashells, and recycled clothing, act as a medium to channel the artist's ancestral homes and the nuanced histories of the Caribbean.

Performance | Fabric Softener: Performance Art Inspired by Toni Morrison
Asia Stewart's Fabric Softener is a theatrical response to Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, offering an imagined ritual with the power to revive young Black women and insist on their survival. Stewart draws on three characters from the many who populate Morrison's 1977 novel: Pilate, her daughter Reba, and granddaughter Hagar. In the original text, Hagar dies of a broken heart after deeming herself unworthy of love, beauty, and acceptance. In her performance, punctuated by musical outbursts of spirituals and passages from the novel, Stewart presents three new characters who are not recreations of these women but are instead archetypes: The Laundress, The Celebrant, and The Witness. The performance begins as The Celebrant and The Witness prepare The Laundress for an intervention: a baptism, a becoming, and a funeral for what used to be and can no longer exist.

Book Discussion | Sailing Without Ahab: Melville Reimagined
Claim your space to attend this unique poetry reading and book talk with author Steve Mentz who has reimagined Herman Melville’s great American classic Moby-Dick, without the monomaniacal quest of Captain Ahab. In this event, Mentz as he charts a new course through a familiar epic aboard Pequod, the fictional 19th-century Nantucket whaling ship that, in this retelling, sails without its captain. Together you will journey through uncharted literary waters and explore Melville’s masterpiece in bold new light through a reading of selections from this cycle of 138 poems––one for each chapter of the original novel. These poems dive into oceanic chaos without the stabilizing focus of the Nantucket captain on the white whale, guided instead by waywardness and curiosity. We will hear how, directionless, these poems reach out to touch the oceanic expanse and depth in a meaningful way. This event will relinquish the original goals and obsessions captured in Moby-Dick and enjoy this poetic rethinking of a literary triumph. A Q&A and book signing with the author will follow the reading.

The Balkan Paradise Orchestra, an all-female ensemble comprising wind and percussion players, takes the spirit of the Balkans and infuses it with various rhythms and worldwide traditions. Their new album, Nectar, explores the world of bees, riffing on themes of travel, teamwork, and personal and collective effort.

Book Discussion | Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Jewish Iconography (online)
Author Sara Lipton offers a fascinating examination of the emergence of antisemitic iconography in the Middle Ages. The straggly beard, the hooked nose, the bag of coins, the gaudy apparel – the religious artists of medieval Christendom had no shortage of virulent symbols for identifying Jews. Yet, hateful as these depictions were, the story they tell is not as simple as it first appears. Lipton argues that these visual stereotypes were neither an inevitable outgrowth of Christian theology nor a simple reflection of medieval prejudices. Instead, she maps out the complex relationship between medieval Christians’ religious ideas, social experience, and developing artistic practices that drove their depiction of Jews from benign, if exoticized, figures connoting ancient wisdom to increasingly vicious portrayals inspired by (and designed to provoke) fear and hostility.

Since the October 7th Hamas terrorist attack on southern Israel, the Israel-Hamas War and humanitarian crisis in Gaza have dominated headlines around the world.

In this discussion, journalists Hanno Hauenstein, Ben Mauk, and Alena Jabarine will examine similarities and differences in American and German reporting, including the dominance of corporate media, ideological bias within the newsroom, and the roles of social media and misinformation.

Book Discussion | The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City
Baseball is “the New York game” because New York is where the diamond was first laid out, where the bunt and the curveball were invented, and where the home run was hit. It’s where the game’s first stars were born, and where everyone came to play or watch the game. With nuance and depth, historian Kevin Baker brings this all vividly back to life: the still-controversial, indelible moments—Did the Babe call his shot? Was Merkle out? Did they fix the 1919 World Series? Here are all the legendary players, managers, and owners, in all their vivid, complicated humanity, on and off the field.

Screening | Der Wald: Films about the German Forest (online thru Aug 31)
Stepping from the scorching sun into the delicious shade of a tree canopy is a universal pleasure. But few landscapes are as loaded with meaning as the German forest: the setting for national myths and fairy tales, a motif in Sturm und Drang and romanticism. Intertwined with the concept of Heimat and the country’s Nazi past, the German forest is an ambivalent place, offering beauty and refuge while hiding its traps. This monthlong event presents seven recent films that evoke different aspects of the forest. In some, the forest creates a barrier, a comfort zone that separates its residents from the upheavals of modernity (Wood and Water), societal norms (The Trouble with Being Born), or personal grief (Alaska). But in times of climate change, the forest looms as both a friend and an enemy to city dwellers (Afire). Other films lean into the childish joy of discovering the forest’s secrets (Lene and the Forest Spirits) or the horror of stepping into Germany’s violent past (Sleep, The Silent Forest). Lonely Oaks interrogates the disconnect between the forest as both a sanctuary and a natural resource that can be exploited for profit. Films are in German with English subtitles.

Discussion | Reflections on War, Civilization, and Israel's Fight for Survival (online)
We live in unstable times. In Europe, Vladimir Putin's Russia is more than two years into a war of aggression against Ukraine; in the Pacific, China continues to threaten Taiwan; and in the Middle East, Israel is battling Iran's terror proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and elsewhere. There are few people who can help us make sense of all that is going on around the globe—and set it in the appropriate historical context—as well as the eminent military historian and classicist, Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and the author of 12 books on military history, culture, and politics. His latest book, The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation (2024), analyzes the fragility of weak and naïve societies that think themselves stronger than they are. He documents how polities—ancient and modern—came to misjudge their own capabilities and the designs and powers of their adversaries. Hanson and Silver will discuss the major themes of his book, and he'll provide his own analysis of the war in Israel.

Lesson | An Artistic Celebration of James Baldwin
Richard Avedon and James Baldwin first met in 1945 when they were both working on a production of the play The Duchess of Malfi at DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx, New York. They formed a friendship that lasted throughout their lives. This encounter marked the beginning of a deep connection between the two artists, leading to Avedon capturing some of the most iconic portraits of Baldwin over the years. Their collaboration extended beyond photography, as they engaged in conversations about art, identity, and social justice, influencing each other's work and leaving a lasting impact on American culture. Participants will be provided with a black and white photocopy of an iconic portrait of James Baldwin taken by Richard Avedon and colorful construction paper, glue, scissors, and other art supplies. Everyone will be encouraged to reflect on their personal interpretations of James Baldwin's persona and legacy. They will be invited to modify James Baldwin's portrait using the provided materials. Participants will be encouraged to imagine Baldwin's image in their own unique way. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of artistic expression as a means of engaging with and reinterpreting historical figures and their narratives. The activity will conclude by encouraging participants to reflect on how their modified portraits of James Baldwin reflect their own perspectives and interpretations of his significance.

Film | James Baldwin's I Am Not Your Negro (2016), Documentary Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson
In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, Remember This House. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. At the time of Baldwin's death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of this manuscript. Filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished. Director: Raoul Peck Narrated by: Samuel L. Jackson James Baldwin was an American writer and civil rights activist who garnered acclaim for his essays, novels, plays, and poems. His 1953 novel Go Tell It on the Mountain has been ranked among the best English-language novels. His 1955 essay collection Notes of a Native Son helped establish his reputation as a voice for human equality. Baldwin was a well-known public figure and orator, especially during the civil rights movement in the United States. Samuel L. Jackson is an American actor. One of the most widely recognized actors of his generation, the films in which he has appeared have collectively grossed over $27 billion worldwide, making him the highest-grossing actor of all time. In 2022, he received the Academy Honorary Award as "a cultural icon whose dynamic work has resonated across genres and generations and audiences worldwide."

Opening Reception | 2 Exhibitions: Squonk, Squonky, Squonkalicious / Dust and Sweat and Feigning Grace
Susan Kim Alvarez: Squonk, Squonky, Squonkalicious Alvarez draws closely upon her own life as the medium to achieve personal meaning and affinity in her works. Her process is carefully uncalculated, highlighting in quick motion her remarkable detail, color, and imagination. Stimulated by her life, family, and community, Alvarez works from imagination to translate humor and chaos towards exploring themes of identity, heritage, community. Spontaneous and unapologetic washes of acrylic weave through Alvarez’ bold characters and fantastical scenes, yielding a candor that reaches still an essence of personality and intimacy. Jen DeLuna: Dust and Sweat and Feigning Grace DeLuna’s figurative works are inspired by her collection of family photographs and found photographs, which provide a spectral snapshot of the past. On account of their inspiration and impressions, DeLuna’s oil-painted subjects are wrapped in blurry hazes with moments that pierce the surface in shining and captivating highlights. Deluna crafts uncanny and notionally invasive moments that both extend to the viewer through the figures’ sharp gazes, while at the same time are shielded by private airs. With mystifying and alluring qualities, the works begin to call into question their own viewership and broach the conditions of femininity.

Concert | Electronic Sounds in the Park: Music for Freedom
Caroline Davis formed Alula in order to feature electronic elements in her performances and compositions. “Alula” is the word for a structure on bird wings that appears during moments of take off, flight, and landing. Alula’s second album, Captivity, situates her compositions alongside the lives of eight heroes who kept hope alive through incarceration. The creative music community has majorly contributed to movements in civil rights through the years. From metaphorical lyrics by Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, to Nina Simone’s impactful lyrics in Mississippi Goddam and Young, Gifted, and Black; jazz and creative musicians have always been present, creating artistic works to protest injustices and speak truth to power. Davis’ album stands on the shoulders of these influences, providing creative insight on the injustices present in the system of mass incarceration in America, and highlights the undeniable strength of those who have been, and some who are still, incarcerated.

Film | The Tarnished Angels (1957) with Rock Hudson
Heroic World War I pilot Roger Shumann is all but forgotten by the 1930s, but flying is all he knows, so he takes work as an air show stuntman. Roger's job is demeaning, low-paying and dangerous.

Journalist Burke Devlin chances upon the once-great pilot at one of his shows and becomes fascinated by Roger's undying devotion to flight — and by the alluring LaVerne. Director: Douglas Sirk Cast: Rock Hudson, Robert Stack, Dorothy Malone, Jack Carson Rock Hudson was an American actor.

Book Club | Under the Neomoon by Wolfgang Hilbig (in-person and online)
Discuss Wolfgang Hilbig's neon-bright reminder of humanity's folly and the importance of storytelling from down below, where the workers toil. An abandoned construction site. Glowering pits and furnaces. A lone man in a bungalow. Widely considered to be one of the great German writers of the twentieth century, Wolfgang Hilbig's dark visions have long held readers aloft with their musical language and uncompromising vision of the modern world. In Under the Neomoon, his debut short story collection originally published in East Germany in 1982, Hilbig's persistent fixations--factory pits, rampant nature, and split identities--are at their most visceral and brilliant. Rendered into English by Hilbig's longtime translator Isabel Fargo Cole, these short tales apply fluorescent language ("garlands of cast-iron flowers," "tall dark-green water grasses") to lives and spaces of foreclosed dreams.

Book Discussion | James Baldwin: Living in Fire (online)
Mark the centennial of James Baldwin’s birth by joining us for a presentation by Baldwin scholar Bill Mullen as he discusses Baldwin’s time in Greenwich Village. James Baldwin is an icon of liberation who created some of his time's most important literary works, including the novels Go Tell It on the Mountain and If Beale Street Could Talk. Bill Mullen celebrates the life of this great African-American writer and activist in his book James Baldwin: Living in Fire. As a lifelong anti-imperialist, black queer advocate, and feminist, James Baldwin was a passionate chronicler of the rise of the Civil Rights Movement, the US war against Vietnam, the Palestinian liberation struggle, and the rise of LGBTQ+ rights. Mullen pays homage to Baldwin's radical approach to life, writing, and activism. Constantly struggling for an anti-racist, emancipated world, Baldwin's philosophy and politics were ahead of their time, predicting many of today's movements such as Black Lives Matter. Author Bill Mullen is a Professor of American Studies at Purdue University.

Lecture | The History of Antisemitism: Expulsion of Jews from England (online)
In 1290, Jews were expelled from England and subsequently largely expunged from English historical memory. Yet for two centuries they occupied important roles in medieval English society. Protected by the Crown and granted the exclusive right to loan money with interest, Jews financed building projects, provided loans to students, and bought and rented out housing. Historical texts showed that they shared meals and beer, celebrated at weddings, and sometimes even had romantic relationships with Christians. However, Church authorities feared the consequences of Jewish contact with Christians and tried to limit it. Royal protection also proved to be a double-edged sword: when revolts broke out against the unpopular king Henry III, some of the rebels, in debt to Jewish creditors, killed Jews and destroyed loan records. Vicious rumors circulated that Jews secretly plotted against Christians and crucified Christian children. All of these factors led Edward I to expel the Jews from England. John Tolan’s book England’s Jews revisits this neglected chapter of English history and shows that thirteenth-century England was both the theater of fruitful interreligious exchange and a crucible of European antisemitism. Speaker John Tolan is a historian interested in the entangled lives of Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Middle Ages and beyond. He has taught in universities in North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East; he is currently emeritus professor of History at the University of Nantes (France) and member of the Academia Europa.

Film | The Lady Vanishes (1938) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
On a train headed for England a group of travelers is delayed by an avalanche. Holed up in a hotel in a fictional European country, young Iris befriends elderly Miss Froy. When the train resumes, Iris suffers a bout of unconsciousness and wakes to find the old woman has disappeared. The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with another traveler and, as the pair sleuth, romantic sparks fly. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, Dame May Whitty Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker. He 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 well known 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.

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit. Winner of the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Book Discussion | When Women Ran Fifth Avenue: Glamour and Power at the Dawn of American Fashion (online)
Julie Satow discusses her new book. Satow draws on her expert knowledge of New York City history and culture to whisk readers back to a bygone era of innovation and glitz. She chronicles the rise of the department store through dazzling portraits of three female powerhouses who broke barriers and created new and evolving possibilities for working women. In the golden age of the American department store, every wish could be met under a single roof: one could take afternoon tea, browse the latest fashions, and even plan a wedding or funeral. From bustling big cities to Main Street, USA, women—shopper and shopgirl alike—found newfound opportunities for independence. Men may have owned the buildings, but inside, women ruled. Though the names of these iconic stores, from Bendel’s to Lord & Taylor, are infamous, the stories of the women who ran them have been largely lost to history—until now.

Film | Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) Directed by Sergio Leone, Starring Henry Fonda
There's a single piece of land around Flagstone with water on it, and rail baron Morton aims to have it, knowing the new railroad will have to stop there.

Book Discussion | Circle of Hope: A Reckoning with Love, Power, and Justice in an American Church
Pulitzer Prize winner Eliza Griswold’s intimate portrait of a church, its radical mission, and its riveting crisis. Americans have been leaving their churches. Some drift away. Some stay home. Many search for more authentic ways to find and follow Jesus. Circle of Hope tells of one such “radical outpost of Jesus followers” in Philadelphia, dedicated to service, the Sermon on the Mount, and working toward justice for all in this life, not just salvation for some in the next. Part of a little-known yet influential movement at the edge of American evangelicalism, Circle grows for forty years, plants four congregations, and then finds itself in crisis. Immersive, explosive, and tender-hearted, Griswold offers an American allegory full of urgent questions: How do we commit to one another and our better selves in a fracturing world? Where does power live? Can it be shared? How do we make “the least of these” welcome?

Historically shaped by photographers of European descent, this exhibition foregrounds the voices and vision of a multiplicity of afro-descendent identities as the photographers examine self-representation, highlight the presence of African cultural traditions, meditate on the (dis)connection to place, and critique the ongoing effects of slavery and systemic racism. All four photographers will be in conversation with opening remarks by Dr. Dalila Scruggs, exhibition curator, and a special presentation by artist and performer Baltazar Castellano Melo.

Film | The Lady Vanishes (1938) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
On a train headed for England a group of travelers is delayed by an avalanche. Holed up in a hotel in a fictional European country, young Iris befriends elderly Miss Froy. When the train resumes, Iris suffers a bout of unconsciousness and wakes to find the old woman has disappeared. The other passengers ominously deny Miss Froy ever existed, so Iris begins to investigate with another traveler and, as the pair sleuth, romantic sparks fly. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Margaret Lockwood, Michael Redgrave, Paul Lukas, Dame May Whitty Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker. He 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.

This year, Ruidosa is a one-day takeover event--featuring artists from across the Latin diaspora, including iLE, Buscabulla, Francisca Valenzuela, Salt Cathedral, Renee Goust, Khylie Rylo, Riobamba, Mireya Ramos, Ali Stone, Nella, and Bebel Gilberto--conjoining both organizations' visions of vital collaborative space. Join us for a full day of live music, music industry panels, and a late-night silent disco as we enact social and cultural transformation and embrace the empowerment of women in creative industries, all through a Latine lens.

Book Discussion | The Jail is Everywhere: Fighting the New Geography of Mass Incarceration by Jack Norton
Nearly every county and major city in the United States has a jail, the short-term detention center controlled by local sheriffs that funnels people into prisons and long-term incarceration. Jails are now the fastest-growing sector of the US carceral state. As jails grow, they transform the region around them. Whole towns and small cities see health care provision and employment opportunities become subordinate to carceral concerns. If jails are everywhere, resistance is too. Campaigns against new or expanded jails have emerged in large and mid-sized cities and in dozens of small towns and rural counties across the US. While there is some coordination and communication between those involved in these struggles, they tend to be isolated from each other and from broader movements. The Jail Is Everywhere brings together an incredible range of knowledge and experience from jail fights across the country. It maps this new terrain, foregrounding the hard-forged analyses of anti-jail organizers themselves as they take us through campaigns that, while appearing local, are at the new center of the carceral state. At this event, Jack Norton will discuss his book and more with the book's forward writer Ruth Wilson Gilmore.

Book Club | Poetry discussion: John Keats
For this discussion, the group will be reading John Keats's abandoned epic poem Hyperion: A Fragment. Hyperion, a Fragment is an abandoned epic poem by 19th-century English Romantic poet John Keats. It was published in Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St. Agnes, and Other Poems. It is based on the Titanomachia (aka War of the Titans, Battle of the Titans, Battle of the Gods) and tells of the despair of the Titans after their fall to the Olympians. Keats wrote the poem from late 1818 until the spring of 1819. The poem stops abruptly in the middle of the third book, with close to 900 lines having been completed. He gave it up as having "too many Miltonic inversions." He was also nursing his younger brother Tom, who died in December 1818 of tuberculosis. Keats picked up the ideas again in his unfinished poem The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream published after his death. He attempted to recast the epic by framing it with a personal quest to find truth and understanding. These poems were Keats' final attempt to reconcile his perceived conflict between mortal decay and absolute value. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. His poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25. They were indifferently received in his lifetime, but his fame grew rapidly after his death. By the end of the century, he was placed in the canon of English literature. Keats had a style "heavily loaded with sensualities," notably in the series of odes. Typical of the Romantics, he accentuated extreme emotion through natural imagery

This ode rather than an elegy to the transforming Arctic based on eyewitness accounts of natural events—iceberg torrents, calving glaciers, whale song and converging subterranean rivers—is sonically recreated as a score with intention of “decentralizing the centered and un-othering the others.”

Film | Rear Window (1954) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly
The story of a recuperating news photographer who believes he has witnessed a murder. Confined to a wheelchair after an accident, he spends his time watching the occupants of neighbouring apartments through a telephoto lens and binoculars and becomes convinced that a murder has taken place. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter, Raymond Burr Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker. He 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 well known 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. 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. Grace Kelly, also known as Grace of Monaco, was an American actress and Princess of Monaco as the wife of Prince Rainier III from their marriage on April 18, 1956, until her death in 1982. Prior to her marriage, she starred in several significant films in the early to mid-1950s. She received an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and was ranked 13th on the American Film Institute's 25 Greatest Female Stars list.

Teenage rebel Mick Travis returns to his upper-crust English public school, caught between the sadistic older boys known as the Whips and the first-year students, known as Scum, who are forced to do their bidding.

Director: Lindsay Anderson Cast: Malcolm McDowell, Richard Warwick, Christine Noonan, David Wood, Robert Swann Malcolm McDowell is an English actor. He first became known for portraying Mick Travis in Lindsay Anderson's if.... (1968), a role he later reprised in O Lucky Man! (1973) and Britannia Hospital (1982).

Book Discussion | Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World
From, Anupreeta Das, the finance editor of The New York Times, comes an examination of Bill Gates--one of the most powerful, fascinating, and contradictory figures of the past four decades--and an eye-opening exploration of our national fixation on billionaires. Few billionaires have been in the public eye for as long, and in as many guises, as Bill Gates. At first heralded as a tech visionary, the Microsoft cofounder next morphed into a ruthless capitalist, only to change yet again when he fashioned himself into a global do-gooder. Along the way, Gates forever influenced how we think about tech founders, as the products they make and the ideas they sell continue to dominate our lives. Through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, he also set a new standard for high-profile, billionaire philanthropy. But there is more to Gates's story, and here, Das's revelatory reporting shows us that billionaires have secrets and philanthropy can have a dark side.

Concert | Ghanaian Music Legend in NYC Debut - in the Park
For the first time in America, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and an eight-piece band will perform his 1975 debut album, Simigwa, in its entirety! Gyedu-Blay Ambolley is a musical luminary hailing from Ghana, West Africa, with a staggering 29 albums under his belt. Known affectionately as the "Simigwa Do Man,” Ambolley’s musical journey began in the vibrant port city of Sekondi-Takoradi, in the Western Region of Ghana. His early fascination with music blossomed into a lifelong passion. From mastering his father’s flute at the tender age of eight to honing his guitar skills under the mentorship of “Uncle Bonku,” Sammy Lartey, and Ebo Taylor, Ambolley’s musical odyssey has been nothing short of extraordinary. This all led to Ambolley becoming a musical life force and exploding on the scene in 1973 with a jazzy highlife sound called “Simigwa-Do.” His name has become synonymous with Simigwa music and dance. Gyedu-Blay Ambolley’s groundbreaking debut solo album, Simigwa, stands as a cornerstone of Ghanaian music history (and one of its most iconic album covers). Simigwa stands as Ambolley’s magnum opus, a masterpiece fusing together the rich tapestry of highlife, afrobeat, folk and funk. Also, Natu Camara is a powerhouse hailing from the vibrant heart of West Africa. As a dynamic singer, songwriter, and humanitarian, she blends Guinean traditional sounds with pop, soul, and rock, creating an Afro-rock experience that knows no borders. Natu's mesmerizing performances tackle global issues, from love to child marriage, loneliness, unity, and pressing concerns, touching hearts worldwide. Beyond her musical talent, she embodies, resilience, and hope, connecting spirits in a way that feels almost spiritual. Her unwavering commitment to social justice adds an inspiring dimension to her artistry, making her a true luminary in the world of music.

Film | The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone (1961) with Vivien Leigh and Warren Beatty
Disheartened by suggestions that she is too old to for her role in a play, 50-year-old actress Karen Stone travels to Rome. After her husband dies on the plane, Karen rents an apartment and meets a conniving countess who introduces her to Paolo, a young Italian gigolo. Karen and Paolo begin a steamy affair, but the countess insists on paying for Paolo's services and ensures that the romance will not last long. Director: Jose Quintero Cast: Vivien Leigh, Warren Beatty, Lotte Lenya, Jill St. John, Coral Browne Vivien Leigh was a British actress who won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, for her definitive performances as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind (1939) and Blanche DuBois in the film version of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a role she had also played on stage in London's West End in 1949. She also won a Tony Award for her work in the Broadway musical version of Tovarich (1963). Although her career had periods of inactivity, in 1999 the American Film Institute ranked Leigh as the 16th-greatest female movie star of classic Hollywood cinema. Warren Beatty is an American actor and filmmaker. Credited with ushering in New Hollywood in the late 1960s, Beatty's career has spanned over six decades, and he has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards, including four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture, two for Best Director, three for Original Screenplay, and one for Adapted Screenplay - winning Best Director for Reds (1981). Beatty is the only person to have been nominated for acting, directing, writing, and producing in the same film, and he did so twice: first for Heaven Can Wait (with Buck Henry as co-director), and again for Reds.

Jazz | Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in the Park
The Grammy-winning Christian McBride Big Band brings the celebrated bassist and bandleader’s take on the sprawling ensembles that dominated jazz in the early 1940s at the height of swing. McBride explores several extensions of his creative inspiration through various ensembles; this 17-piece iteration helped define a new big band sound that fuses traditional long-form compositions with more modern post-bop sound. Their latest, 2020’s For Jimmy, Wes, and Oliver, saw McBride and organist Joey DeFrancesco explore their shared love for the Jimmy Smith/Wes Montgomery collaborations of the late ’60s. This concert will feature pieces from that album as well as others from the Christian McBride Big Band. They’re joined by Wallace Roney Jr, a trumpeter who’s shared the stage with the likes of Chick Corea, Ornette Coleman, and Jimmy Heath, and carries the pedigree of his Grammy-winning father Wallace Roney (a mentee of Miles Davis).

Jazz | Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in the Park
Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist, composer, lyricist, arranger, and pianist Carmen Lundy has been turning heads with her voice for the better part of four decades; Her latest album Fade to Black features 11 original songs reflecting on loss, sorrow, healing, and her hope for a brighter future despite the invasive culture of modern technology. Helen Sung got her start studying classical piano, but a solo performance by Harry Connick, Jr. in her twenties moved her to shift into jazz. A skilled improviser with post-bop leanings, Sung studied under Ron Carter, Clark Terry, Jackie McLean, Sir Roland Hanna, Jimmy Heath, Wynton Marsalis, Barry Harris, and Jon Faddis, among others, and toured India and Thailand with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. She released her 8th LP Quartet+ in 2021. A force in the Chicago jazz scene, the young virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Isaiah Collier experiments and explores new sounds on stage with his band The Chosen Few, making music that sounds destined for celestial realms, unhindered by terrestrial bounds. Rounding out the bill is vocal phenom Tyreek McDole, whose velvet-toned voice has continued to bring him accolades, most recently first prize at the Sarah Vaughn International Jazz Vocal Competition. Multi-talented DJ and host of WBGO’s podcast Milestones DJ KulturedChild aka Angelika Beener is on the ones and twos.

Concert | 3 Pop Rockers in Park - Outdoors
Snail Mail's Lindsey Jordan is a songwriter mature beyond her 24 years, pairing a bleeding heart with a penchant for pop hooks. She has a knack for turning bedroom confessionals into singalong screamers, from her earliest hits like "Thinning" to her breakout LP Lush. Her latest LP Valentine displays what she's capable of when backed by big-budget production values and a bevy of new experiences touring the world as the heir apparent to irreverent rock goddess Liz Phair. Co-headliner of the event is multi-hyphenate Tim Heidecker (of Tim & Eric fame), who, in addition to his comedy, acting, writing, directing, and hosting gigs, has put out six albums of tender and expertly crafted guitar music, balancing gentle melodies with his signature caustic wit. HIs latest LP High School is a concept album that explores truths about adulthood through the lens of his adolescence. In 2023, Brooklyn-based artist Fenne Lily released the gentle and gorgeous LP Big Picture, an achingly introspective exercise in seeking clarity in the uncertain; comfort in the uncomfortable.

Book Club | Pulitzer Prize Winner This Other Eden by Paul Harding
In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeys’ descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland. During the tumultuous summer of 1912, Matthew Diamond, a retired, idealistic but prejudiced schoolteacher-turned-missionary, disrupts the community’s fragile balance through his efforts to educate its children. His presence attracts the attention of authorities on the mainland who, under the influence of the eugenics-thinking popular among progressives of the day, decide to forcibly evacuate the island, institutionalize its residents, and develop the island as a vacation destination.

Book Discussion | The United States Governed by Six Hundred Thousand Despots: A True Story of Slavery
For one hundred and sixty-nine years, a first-person slave narrative written by John Swanson Jacobs—brother of Harriet Jacobs—was buried in a pile of newspapers in Australia. Jacobs’s long-lost narrative, The United States Governed by Six Hundred Thousand Despots, is a startling and revolutionary discovery. A document like this—written by an ex-slave and ex-American, in language charged with all that can be said about America outside America, untampered with and unedited by white abolitionists—has never been seen before. A radical abolitionist, sailor, and miner, John Jacobs has a life story that is as global as it is American. Born into slavery, by 1855, he had fled both the South and the United States altogether, becoming a stateless citizen of the world and its waters. That year, he published his life story in an Australian newspaper, far from American power and its threats. Unsentimental and unapologetic, Jacobs radically denounced slavery and the state, calling out politicians and slaveowners by their names, critiquing America’s founding documents, and indicting all citizens who maintained the racist and intolerable status quo.

City Walk | Floating Palaces of the Waterfront Walking Tour
What would the Titanic’s passengers have seen if the great ship had completed its maiden voyage to New York? Today it’s reborn as a beautiful site for recreation after decades of decay, but over a hundred years ago the Hudson River waterfront was the place where New York cemented its place as one of the world’s greatest cities. Cargo, commuters, and international passengers jostled with dock workers, freighters, ferries, railroads, and giant ocean liners. Join us for a walking tour along the waterfront to explore how this dynamic waterfront worked in the age of Titanic and her fellow floating palaces that once docked there. Explore sites connected to the sinking of the Titanic and discover remnants of when the Hudson was the lifeblood of New York's economy.

Dance Performance | Contemporary Dance in the Park with Mark Morris Dance Group and Others
Internationally acclaimed Mark Morris Dance Group headlines an extraordinary lineup of ballet and modern dance companies. Founded in New York City in 1980 by artistic director and choreographer Mark Morris, the Mark Morris Dance Group (MMDG) has been called “the preeminent modern dance organization of our time” (Yo-Yo Ma), its members receiving “highest praise for their technical aplomb, their musicality, and their sheer human authenticity.” (Bloomberg News). Live music and community engagement are vital components of the Dance Group, which has toured with its own musicians, the Music Ensemble, since 1996. The Dance Group provides educational opportunities in dance and music to people of all ages and abilities while on tour internationally and at home at the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn, NY. Blacks in Ballet (BIB) was created from the initiative of Brazilian dancers Ingrid Silva, Ruan Galdino and Fábio Mariano. With the purpose of discovering, disseminating and valuing beautiful black bodies in dance, they created the platform on social media to reaffirm that black classical dancers exist. BIB elevates examples of black dance professionals who were references in the history of dance, highlighting those important names, as well as current dancers and future talents. There are many black dancers from different nationalities with beautiful stories that can inspire many other people. The aim of the founding trio is to make more people aware of the success stories and normalize diversity in the dance world. Reed Luplau was born in Perth, Australia, and started dancing at 18 months at his mother's studio, Jody Marshall Dance Company. Before graduating from The Australian Ballet School, Luplau was invited by then Artistic Directors Graeme Murphy & Janet Vernon to join the Sydney Dance Company (SDC), where he performed and choreographed for five years. Since relocating to New York City, Luplau has performed for Stephen Petronio Company, Aszure Barton & Artists, and Lar Lubovitch Dance Company. Luplau’s theater credits include the original Broadway casts of both Moulin Rouge! The Musical and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, among others. Luplau’s film and television work include the role of Theo in Alan Brown's Five Dances, HALSTON, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Fosse/Verdon, and more.

Book Discussion | Devil's Contract by Ed Simon
A fascinating and accessible narrative of the Faustian bargain throughout the ages, Devil’s Contract juxtaposes humanity’s choices with the history of the Devil and suggests how we arrived where we are today. From ancient times to the modern world, the idea of the Faustian bargain -- the exchange of one's soul in return for untold riches and power -- has exerted a magnetic pull upon our collective imaginations. Scholar Ed Simon takes us on a historical tour of the Faustian bargain, from biblical themes to bluesman Robert Johnson, and illustrates how the instinct for sacrificing our principles in exchange for power models all kinds of social ills, from colonialism to nuclear warfare, and even social media, climate change, and AI. In doing so, Simon conveys just how much the Faustian bargain shows us about power and evil ... and about ourselves.

Book Discussion | Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues in New York by Ross Perlin
Half of all 7,000-plus human languages may disappear over the next century and—because many have never been recorded—when they’re gone, it will be forever. Ross Perlin, a linguist and co-director of the Manhattan-based non-profit Endangered Language Alliance, is racing against time to map little-known languages across the most linguistically diverse city in history: contemporary New York. In Language City, Perlin recounts the unique history of immigration that shaped the city, and follows six remarkable yet ordinary speakers of endangered languages deep into their communities to learn how they are maintaining and reviving their languages against overwhelming odds. Perlin also dives deep into their languages, taking us on a fascinating tour of unusual grammars, rare sounds, and powerful cultural histories from all around the world. Seke is spoken by 700 people from five ancestral villages in Nepal, a hundred of whom have lived in a single Brooklyn apartment building. N’ko is a radical new West African writing system now going global in Harlem and the Bronx. After centuries of colonization and displacement, Lenape, the city’s original Indigenous language and the source of the name Manhattan (“the place where we get bows”), has just one fluent native speaker, bolstered by a small band of revivalists. Also profiled in the book are speakers of the Indigenous Mexican language Nahuatl, the Central Asian minority language Wakhi, and the former lingua franca of the Lower East Side, Yiddish. A century after the anti-immigration Johnson-Reed Act closed America’s doors for decades and on the 400th anniversary of New York’s colonial founding, Perlin raises the alarm about growing political threats and the onslaught of “killer languages” like English and Spanish. Both remarkable social history and testament to the importance of linguistic diversity, Language City is a joyful and illuminating exploration of a city and the world that made it. At this event, Ross Perlin will discuss his new book with fellow writer Jason Diamond.

Everywhere We Are is the Farthest Place, an iterative soundscape composition, combines an electroacoustic performance with field recordings of glacial geologic activity and oceanographic data Mary Edwards gathered while on an art and science sailing expedition on a research vessel above the 78th parallel in Svalbard. This ode rather than an elegy to the transforming Arctic based on eyewitness accounts of natural events—iceberg torrents, calving glaciers, whale song and converging subterranean rivers—is sonically recreated as a score with intention of “decentralizing the centered and un-othering the others.”

Book Discussion | Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey Among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See by Bianca Bosker
An award-winning journalist obsessed with obsession, Bianca Bosker’s existence was upended when she wandered into the art world—and couldn’t look away. Intrigued by artists who hyperventilate around their favorite colors and art fiends who max out credit cards to show hunks of metal they think can change the world, Bosker grew fixated on understanding why art matters and how she—or any of us—could engage with it more deeply. In Get the Picture, Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and, of course, artists themselves—the kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. As she stretches canvases until her fingers blister, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors, has her face sat on by a nearly-naked performance artist, and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on end while working as a museum security guard, she discovers not only the inner workings of the art-canonization machine but also a more expansive way of living.

Film | Frida (2002) with Salma Hayek
Biopic of the bold and controversial life of artist Frida Kahlo. Set in Mexico City, this visually evocative film traces her lifelong, tempestuous relationship with her mentor, along with her illicit affairs with Trotsky and various women. Her forward-thinking artistic, political and sexual attitudes are explored as we witness a hard-drinking, passionate woman of the early 1900s, which earned an Oscar nomination for Salma Hayek. Director: Julie Taymor Cast: Salma Hayek, Alfred Molina, Geoffrey Rush, Valeria Golino, Mia Maestro, Roger Rees Salma Hayek is a Mexican, American and French actress and film producer. Hayek's portrayal of painter Frida Kahlo in the biopic Frida (2002), which she also produced, made her the first Mexican actress to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
