Through the lens of iron and steel, Lucien reflects on ancestral knowledge, blacksmithing traditions, and the poetic potential of materials to carry histories and emotions.

Discussion | Playwrights & Theater Experts Explore Politcial Theater


Explore the questions: What is the role of political theater today? Can art still change how we think and act in the world? Can theater instigate awareness--or even action--in an era of overlapping crises? Or has political theater lost its force in a time when politics itself is saturated with performance and spectacle? Playwrights Doug Wright and J.T. Rogers, stage director Bartlett Sher, and James Nicola, former artistic director of the New York Theater Workshop, will discuss these ideas.

Book Discussion | Award-Winning Author Rebecca Lehmann Shares Her New Novel, The Beheading Game (In Person AND Online!)


Award-winning author Rebecca Lehmann joins a conversation about her debut novel, The Beheading Game-an audacious, feminist take on British royal history that imagines what would happen if Anne Boleyn woke up after her execution and set out on a quest for vengeance-with fellow writer Anna Solomon (The Book of V.). A fantastical journey through the wilds of England and Tudor history, filled with danger and magic and steeped in Arthurian legend, The Beheading Game is a prescient reminder that "mouthy" women have always been punished. Now, thanks to debut novelist Rebecca Lehmann, nearly five hundred years after Anne Boleyn's death, one of history's most maligned women finally has the chance to tell her story.

Lecture | Learn about Historical Architecture for the Rise of Working Women


This lecture (by Emily Gee, IHBC FSA, who has worked in historic building conservation at English Heritage, Historic England, and the Church of England) will recount the history of campaigns to house a new generation of working women, the specialised design of their buildings, and the women whose lives were changed by this architectural movement. After 1900, the rapid rise of women working as clerks, secretaries, or typists, in London and other cities, created an urgent need for affordable and respectable accommodation. Building on models of elegant Victorian ladies' residential chambers and vast working men's lodging houses, a new type of single working women's hostel emerged. The handsome, if occasionally austere, facades blended into London's vibrant Edwardian streetscape. However, architectural plans, literary descriptions, and historic photographs reveal distinctive and evocative interiors.

Book Discussion | Scholar Shares the New Edition of Her Book, Fashion under Fascism


At this talk, author and scholar Eugenia Paulicelli will be in discussion with Francesca Granata, Parsons School of Design, about her book, Fashion under Fascism. In Fashion under Fascism, Paulicelli explores the subtle yet sinister changes to the seemingly innocuous practices of everyday dress and shows why they were such a concern for the state. Importantly, she also demonstrates how these developments impacted on the global dominance of Italian fashion today. Alongside interviews with major designers, such as Fernanda Gattinoni and Micol Fontana, this newly expanded revised edition of the book includes updated material on gender and masculinity, the role of uniforms in standardizing individuality, race and colonial Italy, and the reception of 1930s cinema. It sheds new light on the complicated relationship between style and politics and is an essential read for all those interested in the history of fashion, politics, national identity and the culture of fascism.

Screening | Nuclear Hallucinations (2016): Indian Documentary on Anti-Nuclear Struggle (+ Filmmaker Q&A)


Nuclear Hallucinations is a film that claims to be a documentary, centered around the anti-nuclear struggle against the Kudankulam Atomic Power Project in South India. In a context where cases of sedition and waging of war against the state are filed against anti-nuclear protesters, the film attempts to question the totalitarian nature of pro-nuclear assertions through comic modes. Satirical impersonations, performance, and ironic renderings of jingoistic rhetoric work together to form a narrative that explores the tragic absurdity of constructing nuclear power plants on a tsunami-affected coast. Director: Fathima Nizaruddin Followed by a Zoom Q&A with the director.

Talk | Abstract Artist Discusses Her Craft & Career


Enjoy a talk by abstract artist Jacqueline Humphries, who has been working through the question of what contemporary abstract painting can mean in a society mediated online. Excavating the limits of her medium, Humphries generates a density of languages, forms, and gestures native not only to the history of painting but also the codes and aesthetic registers that belong to the endless scroll of data and commerce on the flat, cold surfaces of screens. Honing in on the surface of things, she has used gridded stencils, fluorescent paint, emoticons, and black light, among other materials in order to paraphrase, parody, and rewrite the codes of post-war abstraction. She disrupts the traditional oppositions of figure/ground and flatness/depth to create anti-illusionistic, anti-representational images, making and then, as she calls it “unmaking” her works in order to toy with ideas of historicization and authenticity. As such, Humphries’ work revels in its playful profanity, the pleasure of its sheer materiality seeping from its surface. She describes her search as one for “a kind of psychological hook”, evoking suspense or a sense of something wrong.

She describes her search as one for “a kind of psychological hook”, evoking suspense or a sense of something wrong. This nameless, spectral sensation creeps across much of her oeuvre; her large-scale, commanding paintings invite close inspection, while at the same time eluding and confusing the ways in which their surfaces were worked by Humphries herself.

Workshop | Travel Photographer Teaches Fundamentals of His Craft


Learn the technical secrets behind stunning travel photography -- aperture, light, and composition lessons acquired across 100+ countries. What separates a forgettable snapshot from a photograph that stops you cold? According to seasoned travel photographer Andy Katz, it comes down to three things: content, composition, and the glue that holds it together, light--and knowing your gear well enough to get the most out of your photographs. In this exclusive presentation, Andy draws on over four decades of experience photographing across more than 100 countries -- from the fog-draped temples of Southeast Asia to the sweeping savannas of Africa and beyond -- to share the technical and creative principles that consistently produce stunning images. Andy breaks down the fundamentals of photography, no matter where your journeys take you in a way that is immediately rewarding. You'll learn how to read natural light, find compelling content, and tell a story within a single frame. This is not a lecture -- it's a visual journey through the world's most extraordinary places, with real lessons you can apply on your very next shoot. Come ready to be inspired.

Opening Reception | Attention Is a School: Party Celebrating Radical Attention (with Ballroom Performers)


Reawaken various “attentional prosthetics” traditionally found in school environments, and transform their severity into severeness with fierce ballroom performers Rinor Zymberi, Caleb Thomas, and Prince Carhuajulca. The traditional school environment can be a tool of discipline and normalization. Yet the unyielding diversity of our human attention transforms these limitations into play, humor, and collective memory—much like the joy shared by “houses” that function as alternative schools and chosen families of the ballroom world. We invite you to revel in this vision of renewed joy, enjoy our display of antique school objects, and learn more about the School of Radical Attention’s upcoming events at the residency.

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

Lecture | Scholar Explores the Relationship between Video Games & Indigenous Studies


In this lecture, Jodi A. Byrd (professor of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago) examines the differences between Settler colonial studies and Indigenous studies by bringing video game studies and Indigenous studies into conversation with Black studies, queer studies, and Indigenous feminist critique. Byrd theorizes “the image of the law of the Indigenous” as structuring dispossession in games including Assassin’s Creed, Animal Crossing, BioShock Infinite, and Demon Souls. They demonstrate how games and play might reveal histories of slavery, genocide, and theft of Indigenous lands even as their structures obscure Indigenous spatial and embodied practices that prioritize relationships with land, water, plants, and spirits. With ground and relationality defined as key concepts, Byrd centers Indigenous visions of dystopias to reveal how game spaces encode settler structures of governance even as the design of games might yet provide vital modes of resistance to Indigenous erasure.

Architects Xiaoxi Chen, Lily Chishan Wong, and André Santos showcase their work-in-progress multimedia project Ta-Chim: Weighing a City's Colonial Legacies. The project explores changing political, material, and sensory relationships between urban artifacts in Lisbon and Macao in pursuit of postcolonial futures.   "Ta-chim" means "balances" in Patuá, a critically endangered creole language developed in Macao, which was a Portuguese colony until 1999. The ongoing project combines archival images, films, performing bodies, and 3D scans to chart the flow of post-colonial and diasporic matters and bodies. First shown at the 2025 Lisbon Architecture Triennale, the work explores how a city's colonial legacies compare to the seafaring rituals of its homelands.

Discussion | Panel Talk on the Work of Italian Woman Writers Like Elsa Morante


Editors and translators discuss the work of Elsa Morante and other Italian women writers.  Italian author Elsa Morante is having today a deserved though much-deferred recognition as one of the truly outstanding writers of the 20th century writers, well beyond Italy. Morante has been a source of inspiration and a constant challenge for generations of women writers since – one has to think of Elena Ferrante, who fashioned her nickname as an homage to her favorite author. Today, prestigious new translations into English captivated a new readership able to appreciate her legacy, beginning with the 50th anniversary of her most controversial and beloved novel, La Storia (History: A Novel), which the new issue of the prestigious journal Annali d’Italianistica dedicated to Morante will celebrate.

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


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

Book Club | Discuss John Steinbeck's Cannery Row


Discuss Cannery Row by John Steinbeck with a group of like-minded readers! Book Description: "Cannery Row is a book without much of a plot. Rather, it is an attempt to capture the feeling and people of a place, the cannery district of Monterey, California, which is populated by a mix of those down on their luck and those who choose for other reasons not to live "up the hill" in the more respectable area of town. The flow of the main plot is frequently interrupted by short vignettes that introduce us to various denizens of the Row, most of whom are not directly connected with the central story. These vignettes are often characterized by direct or indirect reference to extreme violence: suicides, corpses, and the cruelty of the natural world.

Screening | A.P. Giannini: Bank to the Future (2024)--Documentary on Financial Revolutionary (+ Exhibit Opening)


This film retraces the life and legacy of Amadeo Peter Giannini (1870-1949), the son of Italian immigrants who founded the Bank of Italy--later to become Bank of America. At a time when American banks served primarily the wealthy, Giannini introduced a radically different idea: banking built on trust in ordinary people. Giannini also opened the doors of credit to immigrants, farmers, and entrepreneurs who had long been excluded from traditional banking. His institution would go on to support emerging industries--including the young Walt Disney, whose creative ambitions found backing when more cautious financiers hesitated. Directors: Valentina Signorelli, Cecilia Zoppelletto In English with Italian and English subtitles. Followed by the opening of the exhibition "You Can't Die for a Dollar": The Revolution of Amadeo Peter Giannini.

Lecture | Learn about Immigration Rights 


Learn about the movement for immigrant rights, which faces unprecedented challenges. Immigrant communities are strong and resilient, yet face a vast deportation machinery that constantly threatens the lives they have built in the United States. When the law is so often used as a tool of oppression, how can it be used as a tool for liberation? What role can lawyers play in supporting movements that seek to protect and advance immigrant rights? Professor Alina Das, Director of the Immigrant Rights Clinic at NYU Law School, will address these issues and share examples from her clinic’s advocacy on behalf of its clients and community partners. She will discuss the power and limitations of lawyering, and the importance of solidarity across movements and disciplines to achieve justice.

In pursuit of musical glory, the performers undergo a process that is both inspiring and demoralizing, as only one competitor can ultimately win. Tony H.

Based on field research in India, and in collaboration with forest-dwelling communities, Professor Kodiveri explores how Indigenous and marginalized groups engage strategically with legal systems to fight against dispossession, negotiate rights, and redefine forms of political participation in forest regions. This conversation creates a space for discussion of alternative futures beyond the colonial gaze and the Anthropocene, by analyzing environmental law, its limits, and possible uses as a tool for resistance.

Haunted by fear, resentment, and unspeakable grief, the families find hope beyond intergenerational trauma to build towards an uncertain tomorrow.

Film | Easter Parade (1948): Old Hollywood Romantic Musical with Judy Garland & Fred Astaire


In this lavish musical, Broadway star Don Hewes' dancing partner goes solo, and Don declares that he can make a hit performer out of the next dancer he sees. This turns out to be the inexperienced Hannah, who bristles as Don tries to make her into his old partner. But as he realizes that he is falling in love with Hannah, Don knows that he must let her grow into her own kind of dancer if he wants her to reach her full potential. Director: Charles Walters Cast: Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, Ann Miller Judy Garland was an American actress and singer. She attained international stardom and critical acclaim as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Renowned for her versatility, she received an Academy Juvenile Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Special Tony Award. Garland was the first woman to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, which she won for her 1961 live recording titled Judy at Carnegie Hall. As a dancer, actor, singer, musician, choreographer, and presenter for stage, film, and television, entertainer Fred Astaire was known as a "paragon" (New York Times) entertainer. Over the course of his nearly seven-decade spanning career, Astaire received an Honorary Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, three Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Grammy Award.

Lecture | Explore the World of the Human Embryo


The talk explores the historical relationships that exist between the development and the evolution of embryos. What is the link between our developmental origin as individuals (a fertilized egg), on the one hand, and our evolutionary origin as a group of individuals (an ancestral population), on the other hand? And these embryos, are they really extraordinary constructions relying on carefully accumulated, multiple sets of precisely encoded instructions or instead, could they be the mere and only obligatory result of a chaotic program haphazardly built during the past hundreds million years?

Author Reading | Austrian Writer Martin Prinz Shares His New Novel, The Last Days


Enjoy a reading by Austrian writer Martin Prinz from his novel The Last Days, followed by a conversation with Bernadette Wegenstein, Professor of Media Studies and Director for Advanced Media Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Book Synopsis: Set in April 1945 near Vienna, The Last Days reconstructs a Nazi society in its final weeks, when the war was almost over but the killings continued. Drawing on trial records and contemporary documents, Prinz examines a series of executions carried out by Nazi summary courts against individuals accused of defeatism and desertion. Written in the restrained language of court transcripts, the book confronts questions of individual responsibility, arbitrary power, and the long silence that followed these crimes in Austria. In the final 41 days of the war, more people were murdered in Austria than in the previous seven years. Among the victims were the granddaughters of Olga Waissnix, the muse of Arthur Schnitzler. Two years later, the perpetrators appeared before a people’s court, defending their actions as lawful and invoking obedience to a state that had already ceased to exist. With sober precision, Prinz revisits these events and reflects on literature as a form of remembrance.

Concert | Singer-Songwriter David Rivera Brings Caribbean Tropical Rhythms to the Stage


Hear a concert from David Rivera, a singer-songwriter, drummer, and leader of the band La Bambula. Rivera has developed a sound with universal appeal, centered on the fusion of Caribbean tropical rhythms with elements of modern music. In his own words: "I don't define my music within a single category; rather, it's a fusion that weaves together hip-hop beats, funk, R&B, and touches of electronic music with the echoes of 1970s salsa and the rich Caribbean and Puerto Rican tradition--perfect for jazz lovers, dancers, and even for the heart." Setting the stage is Discolocas, a club night established in March 2022 to provide a safe, supportive space where women selectors and DJs could feel comfortable sharing their vinyl selections. Expect to be moved by everything from vintage rumba, salsa, and cumbia to experimental sounds.

Concert | Reinventing Tradition: Ensemble Works by Castello & Berio


This program, curated by The Juilliard School professor and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient Emi Ferguson, spotlights the works of two pioneering Italian composers, Dario Castello (1602-1631) and Luciano Berio (1925-2003). Before dying at 29 to the bubonic plague, Castello was integral to the revitalization of early Baroque music, transforming the Renaissance canzona into the sonata. Berio, beginning with the groundbreaking Sequenzas (1958 to 2002), reimagined the very foundations of performance, form, and sound for the 20th century. Heard together, these trailblazers offer proof of how "new" music continually reinvents tradition. This evening's Castello and Berio showcase will feature Ferguson on flute, Matthew Aucoin (AMOC* co-founder and MacArthur Fellow) on piano and percussion, and a formidable string trio of AMOC* core ensemble members that includes violinist/violist Miranda Cuckson, violinist Keir GoGwilt, and cellist Coleman Itzkoff. 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.

Lecture | Expert Shares Her Research on "Precarious Employment"


At this talk, Dr. Wen-Jui Han will present research related to precarious employment that points to a trap impacting low-income and marginalized communities. Since the 1980s, the global labor market -- including the U.S. -- has shifted toward precarious employment, characterized by instability, volatility, and unpredictability. Although such work is often portrayed as a temporary "stepping stone," longitudinal research spanning three decades reveals a different reality: for many workers, precarious employment becomes a permanent trap with serious health consequences that emerge in midlife and persist into later adulthood.

Film | All About Eve (1950): Classic Drama Film with Bette Davis & Marylin Monroe


An aspiring actress feigns humility and naivete to connive her way under the wing of a veteran Broadway star. She manipulates those in the star's circle in hopes of cheating her way to the top. Based on the short story "The Wisdom of Eve" by Mary Orr. Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz Cast: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Thelma Ritter, Marilyn Monroe Bette Davis was an American actress of film, television, and theater. She's considered one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, often playing unsympathetic, sardonic characters, and her performances in a range of film genres, although her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas. Over the course of her career, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, was the first person to accrue ten Academy Award nominations (and one write-in) for acting, and was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. In 1999, Davis was placed second on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. Marilyn Monroe was an American actress and model, often considered the face of the face of Hollywood's Golden Age. She was often cast as comic "blonde bombshell" character roles. During her lifetime, her films grossed $200 million (~$2 billion in 2025). She won many awards, including a Golden Globe, and received even more nominations.

Book Discussion | Scholar Shares Her New Book, Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels: A European Literary History


Attend a talk by Hilde Hoogenboom (Associate Professor in the School of International Letters and Cultures at Arizona State University) on her new book, Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels: A European Literary History. Moderated by Irina Reyfman. Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels rewrites the history of nineteenth-century Russian novels. Hilde Hoogenboom examines how Russians created a new literature against substantial odds: 90 per cent of novels published in Russia through the 1850s were foreign. Using data from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century catalogues, Hoogenboom visualizes readers' large appetite for translated sentimental and sentimental realist novels, many by such internationally renowned women as Madame de Genlis, Sophie Cottin, and George Sand.

Screening | Interdisciplinary Artist Shares His Video Works (+ Q&A)


Enjoy a screening and Q&A with interdisciplinary artist Coleman Collins to discuss his video works, Specular Fiction and The Upper Room. Primarily derived from 3D scans of objects, and with a particular focus on digital replicas of West African architectural sites, Specular Fiction (2024) is a short, speculative narrative video that traces the complex relationships between seemingly dichotomous terms: original and copy; object and image; real and virtual space. In an imagined future of indeterminate distance, the objects of the world have been destroyed, leaving only the mirror-world of their digital replicas behind. The Upper Room (2025) traces the often destructive effects of mimetic desire through a narrative video essay that weaves together fact and speculative fiction. Drawing parallels between diasporic fantasies of return, gospel music, and 19th-century projects of nation-state building, The Upper Room examines the ways in which both real and imagined spaces are collectively produced.

Discussion | Multi-Media Experience on Food, Art, & Black Agrarian Thought


Artist, chef, publisher, and author Bryant Terry explores the intersections of ancestral foodways, Black agrarian thought, community-based art practice, and food justice. Terry opens with a talk tracing the evolution of his two decades of work, illuminating how memory, land, and cultural resilience inform his creative and political commitments. He then performs Recipe for Staying Curious—a ritualized, recipe-shaped spoken-word piece that transforms kitchen practice into a framework for lifelong inquiry. Organized around intention, preparation, improvisation, iteration, and community, the performance invites participants to consider curiosity as both a discipline and a liberatory act. Following the talk, attendees will engage in a sensory exploration of spices and herbs—some sourced from regional farms—using touch, scent, and sound.

Discussion | Scholar Explores 18th-Century Literature of the Afterlife


This talk (by Kate Tunstall, Professor of French at the University of Oxford) considers the powers of literature to accord or not accord an afterlife, and at what price. It focuses on two women: one, whose (alleged) last words were “Est-ce que je vis encore?” namely Julie de Lespinasse (1732-1776), known today as a salonnière and the author of a series of tragic love-letters; the other, Charlotte Bourette, formerly Curé (1714-1784), a café owner and prolific poet who remains completely unknown today. The talk juxtaposes the two women with the aim of bringing into clear focus what literature does, and what can be done with it.

Talk | Renowned Artist Mary Frank Discusses the Connection between Art & Earth


Renowned artist Mary Frank reflects on the seamless connection between the planet and its inhabitants. Through the product of her hands she explores both the majesty and tragedy of human existence. Sustained by nature's incomparable beauty, her advocacy and activism is as much a part of her art as paint, canvas and clay. Over the course of Frank’s career, she has worked in many mediums and materials, most notably with her monoprints, drawings, sculpture, painting and photography, and has been the subject of numerous solo museum and gallery exhibitions over the years. As described by art critic John Yau, Frank paints “elemental worlds largely inhabited by women (men, plants and animals) who are maenads, oracles, winged creatures and warriors –solitary and self-sustaining beings…(her) photographs of tableaus, which she assembles out of a variety of works she has made in different mediums, are all in pursuit of further defining the conditions of a mythic world.”

Discussion | Explore the History & Legacy of the Art of Photography 


This conversation will examine the ways in which the market for 19th-century photographs has evolved over the past 45 years. In discussion with Darius Himes, the International Head of Photographs for Christie’s, Kraus will reflect on the state of today’s market, particularly for early photographs, and the opportunities available to collectors. When Hans Kraus began as a photography dealer in 1980, attention was focused on the upcoming 150th anniversary of photography in 1989. Fox Talbot’s negative/positive process on paper and Daguerre’s direct positive on polished silver were both revealed in 1839. Today, we face another moment of transition while looking ahead to the medium’s bicentennial.

Film | Alfred Hithcock's The Trouble with Harry (1955): Technicolor Black Comedy 


Harry's dead and, while no one really minds, everyone feels responsible. After Harry's body is found in the woods, several locals must determine not only how and why he was killed but what to do with the body. Based on the 1950 book of the same name. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Shirley MacLaine 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 of 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.

Lecture | Discover the Politics of Environmental Conservation in the Late Soviet Arctic (In Person AND Online!)


This talk will explore how the mechanical all-terrain tracks left on the tundra surface by geological prospectors, military personnel, and industrial workers in the late Soviet Arctic initially alarmed local Indigenous communities, then raised concerns among environmental conservationists, and ultimately became a key argument in transnational efforts to establish one of the first Arctic tundra nature reserves (known as a zapovednik in Russian) on the Taymyr Peninsula in 1978. To trace how these physical imprints on the ground scaled up into a global environmental concern, the author employs a metaphor used by Indigenous Nenets herders, who describe the tundra surface as an animal skin. This corporeal and tactile metaphor resonates with the visionary works on the biosphere that were formative for the academic conceptualization of planetary-level disruptions. The resulting entanglements of the local and the global in the politics of nature protection constitute the core of this research.

Book Discussion | Book Launch: The Silver Fish by Former Security Official Connor Martin


Connor Martin (writer and former senior US national security official) launches his debut novel, The Silver Fish: A Thriller.  Book synopsis: Journalist Danielle “Dani” Moreau has spent a lifetime trying to outrun the privilege she was born into. Fresh off a personal tragedy, she lands in Ghana to uncover corruption in the local oil industry. But when she crosses paths with James Aidoo, an idealistic young Ghanaian whose father is a local populist politician, Dani remembers what drew her to journalism in the first place: you go looking for a story, but when the real story appears, it’s never the one you expected. A twisty double-cross narrative, The Silver Fish opens with a spy operation going horrifically off course and takes the reader sprinting through crowded markets, darkened bars, bustling ports, and steaming jungle on the way to a startling conclusion. It will leave the reader shocked, moved, better-informed—and eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the story.

Kaṉparkanya - The Wanampi and Paltjuliri present a rare dual opportunity to experience the spiritual depth and visual élan of contemporary Australian Indigenous art from the remote outback community of Tjuntjuntjara in Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert. Expressing a rich trans-cultural dialogue, paintings by Presley and Hogan elegantly bridge the ancient ontological mappings of Spinifex Tjukurpa with the formal innovations of modernist abstraction.

Lecture | Scholar Explores the World of Serbian Surrealism & Its Legacy


This event is a lecture by Branislav Jakovljević, Sara Hart Kimball Professor of the Humanities at Stanford University, on Serbian surrealism and its legacy. Moderated by Aleksandar Bošković. If the Belgrade group, rarely discussed in international scholarly circles, can be said to represent the lost tribe of surrealism, it is because of its staunch commitment to the politics of what Georges Bataille called “essential surrealism.” Their passage from surrealist works to radical social action, exemplified most clearly in the anti-fascist struggle that several Belgrade surrealists joined during World War II, represents one of the key moments in the history of international surrealism. The case in point is Koča Popović, a founding member of the Belgrade surrealist group, who had a distinguished career as a military commander, first in the Spanish Civil War, and then in the guerilla struggle against the Nazi occupying forces in Yugoslavia, from which he emerged as Commander-in-Chief of the Yugoslav partisan army. This talk presents Popović’s war diaries as a unique realization of the ideal of the surrealist novel: without precursors or followers, leaving Literature behind, and aspiring toward other, non-scriptive, forms of writing.

Book Discussion | Sociologist Shares His New Book, The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads: Colonialism, Gender, and Indigenous Communism


American sociologist, Marxist humanist, author, and professor Kevin B. Anderson will introduce his new book, The Late Marx's Revolutionary Roads: Colonialism, Gender, and Indigenous Communism, and will be joined by four discussants. Andreas Kalyvas (Professor of Politics at NSSR), Lisa Daily (Cultural Studies Scholar at NYU), Wilson Sherwin (Activist and educator working on social movements), and Andres Mares Muro (Chicano Marxist Labor Organizer). Anderson argues that Karl Marx's later writings (1869-1882) show a significant shift away from Eurocentric, unilinear theories of development, revealing a more global, multilinear perspective on revolution. The book analyzes Marx's extensive notes on colonialism (Ireland, Algeria, Russia, India, Latin America) and gender, demonstrating his evolving focus on indigenous communism, anti-colonialism, and the potential for revolutionary change to begin in the periphery, not just the Western core. Anderson uses these late, often unpublished, texts to show Marx's thinking expanded to include non-Western societies and communal structures as crucial to modern revolutionary theory, challenging the view of Marx as solely focused on the Western working class.

Enjoy a special presentation of Enchantment, an intimate theatrical journey into the inner life of music giant Ravi Shankar, written and directed by Gowri Ramnarayan. After the performance, talk with Ramnarayan and the cast about the legendary sitar maestro, a global icon of Indian classical music and notable collaborator with Philip Glass, Zubin Mehta, George Harrison, and many others. This is not a standard retelling of Shankar's legendary career. Instead, this bioplay steps into the inner world of the sitar maestro — his doubts, regrets, struggles, and the fierce resolve that carried him from a boy dancer in Paris to one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Through moments of vulnerability and brilliance, the play reveals how Ravi Shankar transformed adversity into artistic triumph. Written and Directed by Dr. Gowri Ramnarayan.

By pitting human intuition against state-of-the-art neural networks, this work tackles foundational debates across psychology, philosophy, and computer science — revealing the origins of intelligence, the divide between natural and artificial minds, and what it will take to build truly human-like, trustworthy AI.

For this talk, you'll get a look into the life of Romare Bearden(1911-1988), who was an American artist, author, and songwriter. He also produced cartoons, oils, and collages. Joining the army on the European front during World War II, he returned to Paris after the war to study art history at the Sorbonne on the GI Bill. In the 60s, he pulled away from abstract art and took up figurative collage work. Bearden was a well-read man and vitally aware of social problems in the USA. His images compare Black rural life in the South, where he was born, to urban life in the North, where he lived.

Lecture | Political Theorist Discusses Capitalism & Nature


In this talk, political theorist and writer Alyssa Battistoni explores capitalism’s persistent failure to value nature, arguing that the key question is not the moral issue of why some kinds of nature shouldn’t be commodified, but the economic puzzle of why they haven’t been. Capitalism consistently fails to place value on vital aspects of the nonhuman world, whether carbon emissions or entire ecosystems.

Book Discussion | Writer & Cultural Critic Discuss New Book, Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America


Author Jeff Chang and cultural critic Bakari Kitwana to discuss Chang’s new publication Water Mirror Echo: Bruce Lee and the Making of Asian America. This conversation will be followed by a book signing, where copies will be available for purchase. As the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger, strength, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. But in more than fifty years since his untimely death at age thirty-two, the legend has eclipsed the real man. During his lifetime, Bruce fought to be seen—from Hong Kong to Hollywood, Asian tenements to American ghettos, the lonely garret to the international screen.

Talk | Voices of Survival: Yom HaShoah Testimony & Remembrance (Online!) 


In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, join survivor and Speakers Bureau member Celia Kener for a special public event. This annual observance encourages people to remember those who were lost and honor the stories of those who survived. Born in 1935 in Lvov, Poland, Celia was just a young girl when the German invasion in 1941 shattered her family's world. Her father was drafted into the Russian army, and Celia, her mother, and her extended family were forced into the ghetto. When her mother was selected for a labor camp, weekend visits became their only connection. Fearing she might not survive, Celia's mother made the heartbreaking decision to place her with a childless Catholic couple who could keep her safe. Ms. Kener will share her story, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Lecture | Learn about Hsitorical Chamber Music & Instruments


This lecture and demonstration explores how the similarity of materials and sound production between historical keyboard and string instruments lead to performances in which the sounds of the instruments blend and balance more than performances on modern instruments. When combined with information about differences in the meaning of Classical-era notation, playing on historical instruments and equipment can result in chamber musicians making different interpretive decisions about tempo, affect, and phrasing, leading to performances that can be both vibrant and revelatory.

Discussion | Award-Winning Writer Discusses Public Beliefs around the Apocalypse


This talk by writer Amitov Ghosh seeks to understand the thinking behind public interest in the apocalypse and what it signifies for the future of humanity. The world is currently in the grip of several intensifying crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, geopolitical instability, and so on. Given the scale of the disruptions that are already being felt around the planet, it is hardly surprising that many people have come to be convinced that an apocalypse is inevitable and requires active planning and preparation. This trend cannot be lightly dismissed, for it is being spearheaded by the founders of companies like Facebook and Google, that is to say, figures who are uniquely well-placed to stay abreast of all the latest information and research. It is well-known now that several billionaire tech entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, and Peter Thiel are preparing for an impending apocalypse by building enormously expensive and heavily fortified retreats on remote islands or in sparsely populated stretches of the United States and Canada. Not to be left behind, a bevy of America’s most popular stars, such as Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise, have also acquired cutting-edge apocalypse shelters. Nor are the ultra-rich the only Americans who are investing in doomsday retreats: so great is the demand that a new and rapidly growing industry has emerged to cater to it.

Pulitzer Prize-Winning nonfiction author Stacy Schiff shares her recent book, A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the American Revolution. In this book, Schiff provides a dazzling narrative of Franklin’s time in France, one of the least-explored chapters of his life.  In December 1776, Benjamin Franklin undertook the greatest gamble of his career. The American colonies had declared independence but were without money, munitions, or gunpowder. Amid great secrecy, Franklin crossed the wintry Atlantic to solicit aid from the French monarchy. He was 70 years old, without any diplomatic training, and possessing only the most rudimentary French.

The past is critical to understanding current U.S. immigration. A new historical perspective shows that the stories, myths, and memories of the past color how we think of immigrants today. It also helps us understand contemporary nativism, distinguishes what is new from long-established patterns, reveals how legacies of earlier immigration shape the lives of present-day arrivals, and offers a fresh look at what lies ahead.

Discussion | Experts Discuss "Climate Migration"


This panel brings together Anna Stilz (UC Berkeley, Political Science), Sunil Amrith (Yale, History), and Leah Zamore (Zolberg Institute/The New School) to examine how each scholar and practitioner engages climate migration in their own work, and to interrogate what the concept names, what it obscures, and what it does in practice. “Climate migration” is now a central term in public debate—but also a contested one. Does it clarify urgent forms of movement in a warming world, or flatten distinct causes, responsibilities, and policy responses into one expansive category? What makes mobility intelligible as a specifically climatic phenomenon rather than as a question of development, inequality, land, or labor? And how does this language shape politics--enabling political planning and solidarity in some contexts, while in others provoking fear-driven reaction?

Discussion | Talks & Performances on Interdisciplinary Nature of Indigenous Arts


Experience a day of talks and performances to accompany the exhibition Sovereign Acts III. Conceived and hosted by Curator Wanda Nanibush.

The exhibition explores the relationship between nineteenth century performing “Indians” and contemporary performance art.

Opening Reception | On Foot: Photographic Journey Exhibition  (+ Artist Discussion)


Experience Esther Levine’s exhibition On Foot, a photographic journey along an invisible line, following memories, family history, and stories Esther Levine grew up with. The story unfolds through landscapes, roadsides, and encounters alongside the path where nothing seems to happen, yet everything does. Each photograph marks a pause in the movement (act of walking). The walk follows a line that is both geographical and internal, tracing histories buried beneath the surface of the landscape. The repetition of views mirrors the rhythm of walking, slow attentive and accumulative. What emerges is not a document of a route, but a visual record of memory made tangible through the act of walking, noticing, seeing and recording. The exhibition opening will include a conversation between Esther Levine and Sarah Girner.

Discussion | Artist/Writer Discusses NYC's Artistic Movements of the 1980s & 1990s 


Artist and writer Gregg Bordowitz will present a lecture followed by a conversation with Benoît Loiseau on the "French Theory" and New York's artists in the 80s and 90s. During the 1980s and 1990s, many New York artists felt a sense of permission granted by semiotic, structuralist, and post-structuralist theory read in English translations of works written in French by Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and many others. The wide-spread effects of these readings were both energizing and limiting. Artist Gregg Bordowitz recalls that so-called “French Theory” suggested artistic methods that did indeed result in genuine alternatives to established contemporary gallery practices. These alternatives were claimed by both artists and activists, combining a variety of different approaches—including visual arts, writing, performance, street activism, and models for institution-building—that defeated inherited distinctions among disciplines. Are those developments relevant to present circumstances? What can we learn from the past?

Lecture | Historical Researcher Explores the Life & Career of Gilded Age Artist Amalia Kussner 


Author and historical researcher Kathleen Langone presents the full arc of artist Amalia Kussner's amazing life, many images of her stunning portraits, and some new research Ms. Langone has uncovered since publishing the Kussner biography.  Throughout the latter half of the Gilded Age and up until WWI, Amalia Kussner was the sought after artist to render exquisite miniature portraits of many of the Who’s Who of that era. Her impressive list of portraits included, among many others: Edward VII, Mrs. Astor, Czar Nicholas II,Cecil Rhodes, and the Duchess of Marlborough (born Consuelo Vanderbilt). As she became more famous in the Edwardian Era, her popularity was compared with John Singer Sargent, and both their works were seen in the Royal Academy of Arts. But, paralleling her astonishing career, were scandals, such as a sudden and mysterious marriage in 1900, followed by a lawsuit whose contents were never revealed.

Lecture | Scholar Discusses German Fascist Propaganda Films


This talk (by Ian Fleishman, Chair of Cinema & Media Studies and Associate Professor in the Department of Francophone, Italian & Germanic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania) seeks to excavate the ecological erotics of propaganda films produced by the Hitler Youth and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Core. Common across these archives is pastoral imagery of homosocial bonding: strapping young men stripped to the waist while frolicking in nature or cheerfully laboring outdoors. Arguing that these images are intended in part to titillate, and tracing these tropes through the visual imaginary of contemporary nationalisms, the lecture will engage this media history to theorize the role of arousal in an eco-imperialist politics attracted to both racial and environmental homogeneity.

Screening | Ziyara (2021): Documentary on Jewish Community of Morocco (+ Discussion)


Celebrated filmmaker Simone Bitton embarks on a personal road trip across Morocco, tracing the remnants of the country’s once-thriving Jewish community. In the 1950s, Morocco was home to 300,000 Jews; today, only a small fraction remain, yet their saints’ tombs endure—cared for by Muslim guardians who preserve their memory. Through close examination of synagogues, shrines, and village records, Bitton uncovers stories of coexistence, loss, and endurance. Ziyara is both a meditation on migration and a hopeful reflection on shared heritage, revealing a delicate thread between past and present, tradition and modernity. As the camera gathers stories, smiles, and blessings, it patiently repairs connections long thought severed. Director: Simone Bitton Screening followed by a discussion with Benjamin Berman-Gladstone and Sami Everett. In Arabic, French, and English with English subtitles.

Opening Reception | Compounding Interest: Multi-Artist Exhibition on the Individual vs. the Collective


This exhibition by MFA Fine Arts students, Compounding Interest, explores how ideas, materials, and experiences accumulate through repetition and experimentation, reflecting the emotional threshold of graduating in turbulent times. The works on view are shaped by personal, societal, and geographical influences, revealing how individual perspectives are informed by broader collective conditions. Through processes of layering, revision, and sustained inquiry, small gestures evolve into complex visual statements that question authorship, responsibility, and belonging. Together, the exhibition invites reflection on the tension between the individual “I” and the collective “we,” considering how these artists negotiate identity, community, and agency at a moment of profound transition.

Screening | The Swimmer (1968): Drama Film with Burt Lancaster (+ Discussion)


The Swimmer is a haunting, surreal journey through suburban America, starring Burt Lancaster as a man determined to swim his way home through a chain of backyard pools. As his odyssey unfolds, sunlit affluence exposes the fractures beneath a carefully constructed life. Adapted from John Cheever’s celebrated short story, this 1968 classic is a bold, unsettling meditation on identity, denial, and the cost of illusion. Director: Frank Perry Cast: Burt Lancaster, Janet Landgard, Janice Rule Burt Lancaster was an American actor and film producer. Initially known for playing tough guys with a tender heart, he went on to achieve success with more complex and challenging roles over a 45-year career in films and television series. He was a four-time nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actor (winning once), and he also won two BAFTA Awards and one Golden Globe Award for Best Lead Actor. The American Film Institute ranks Lancaster as #19 of the greatest male stars of classic Hollywood cinema. Featuring a talk from Andy Bienen, Associate Professor of Professional Practice, Film.

Classical Music | World Premiere of Boundless: Contemporary Soundscape  with Acclaimed Musicians


Experience the one-night-only world premiere and album release of Min Xiao-Fen and Julian Kytasty's Boundless, a spellbinding musical creation where Eastern musical worlds converge. In Boundless, Xiao-Fen, an internationally acclaimed performer of the lute-like Chinese pipa, and Kytasty, a master of the Ukrainian zither-like bandura, join forces for an evening that defies classifications of border and era. In the spirit of the avant-garde improviser Derek Bailey, the string duo will mingle their respective instruments' venerable traditions to form a fresh and daring contemporary soundscape. Xiao-Fen’s composition “Xi Xi, Cuo Cuo (Wash and Rub)” reimagines the untold story of Chinese immigrants' relocation to the Mississippi Delta, while Kytasty’s “Travel Music” brings to life the journey of a rare bandura from Ukraine to Shanghai to Buenos Aires before finding its permanent home in New York City. Together, these two trailblazing musicians chart a luminous odyssey across personal histories, rich culture, and human connection. 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.

Book Discussion | Romantics Expert Discusses His New Book, Towards a Premodern Posthumanism (In Person AND Online!)


In this lecture, Professor Chad Cordova will be sharing insights from his recent book Towards a Premodern Posthumanism. What good is aesthetics in a time of ecological crisis? Toward a Premodern Posthumanism: Anarchic Ontologies of Earthly Life in Early Modern France shows that philosophical aesthetics contains unheeded potentialities for challenging the ontological subjection of nature to the human subject. Drawing on deconstructive, ecological, and biopolitical thought, Chad Córdova uncovers in aesthetics something irreducible to humanist metaphysics: an account of how beings emerge and are interrelated, responsive, and even response-able without reason or why.

The evening will include a post-screening discussion on Ingeborg Bachmann’s life and legacy with Asma Abbas and Nick Pinkerton.

Their letters, brought to life by actors in a recording studio, reveal a relationship shaped by longing, tension, and historical rupture. As past and present intertwine, the film captures how language, memory, and desire blur across time—placing Austrian literary history at its emotional and cultural core. Director: Ruth Beckermann

Discuss The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon with likeminded readers. Book Synopsis: A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink.

Lecture | International Affairs Scholar Discusses Ukrainian Resistance over the Decades (In Person AND Online!)


In this talk, Eugene Finkel (Kenneth H. Keller Professor of International Affairs, Johns Hopkins SAIS) explores Russia’s centuries-long quest to dominate Ukraine, showing how imperial ambitions, nationalism, and Ukraine’s growing civic unity culminated in today’s war and its remarkable resistance. His book, Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine, uncovers the roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Ukraine is a key borderland between Russia and the West, and, following the rise of Russian nationalism in the nineteenth century, dominating Ukraine became the cornerstone of Russian policy. The Russian Empire, USSR and Putin’s Russia had long used violence to successfully crush Ukrainian efforts to chart a separate path. Today’s violence is just a more extreme version of Russia’s past efforts. But unlike in the past, the people of Ukraine have overcome their deep internal divisions, and this rise of civic Ukrainian nationalism explains the successful resistance to the invasion.

This period has come to be known as the Golden Age of Magic. The history of magic and magicians has long been documented through text and image as a form of theater. Now, the exhibition Mystery and Wonder: A Legacy of Golden Age Magicians in New York City, curated by Annemarie van Roessel, will display our rich and historic archival materials related to the art of magic and the fascinating lives of magicians performing in New York City during the Golden Age.

Discussion | Experts Discuss US Reproduction Crisis


Nancy Fraser and Wolfgang Streeck will discuss the causes of declining domestic fertility; the implications for labor supplies, tax revenues, and welfare services; and the impacts of increased migration on social integration. They will situate the fertility/migration nexus historically with respect to changes in labor markets, gender relations, family forms, consumer culture, and the general shape of capitalist life in wealthy countries. While migration is central to current political struggles, its relation to fertility has largely escaped notice. In all wealthy countries, a decades-long decline in fertility has become steeper in recent years. Everywhere, right-wing ideologues are trying to exploit the prospect of population decline.

This session brings together educators and cultural leaders who have spent years thinking about what art and architecture education is becoming and how these pressures shape students, teachers, and communities. Art and architecture schools are experiencing profound strain. Tuition and student debt continue to rise. Humanities programs contract. Public institutions face political pressures. Private institutions face financial precarity. The result is a learning environment that often feels unstable, overstretched, and increasingly disconnected from the social and economic realities that students and faculty face.

Artists have always looked either to the past or forward to an unknown future, often attempting to predict what awaits all of us with the knowledge that they have in their time. This need to consider our place and agency within a larger context is one [that] artists always struggle with; but today, it is something we all struggle with, as the choices necessary to guarantee a safe future are not in our hands. We will consider art that seeks out the past, present, and future of our Earth to answer the following question: how have artists considered their futures in the past, and what can we learn from them in imagining our own future?"

Film | Singin' in the Rain (1952): Classic Musical Romantic Comedy with Gene Kelly & Debbie Reynolds


When the transition is being made from silent films to `talkies', everyone has trouble adapting. Don and Lina have been cast repeatedly as a romantic couple, but when their latest film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for the new singing part. After a lot of practise with a diction coach, Lina still sounds terrible, and Kathy, a bright young aspiring actress, is hired to record over her voice. Directors: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen Cast: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell, Cyd Charisse Gene Kelly was an American dancer, actor, singer, director, and choreographer. He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style and sought to create a new form of American dance accessible to the general public, which he called "dance for the common man". He starred in, choreographed, and, with Stanley Donen, co-directed some of the best-regarded musical films of the 1940s and 1950s. Debbie Reynolds was an American actress, singer and entrepreneur. Her acting career spanned almost 70 years. Reynolds performed on stage and television and in films into her 80s. She was nominated for several Golden Globes, and a Tony Award. She won an Academy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Jaquira Díaz, Assistant Professor of Writing at Columbia University and Lambda Literary Award Finalist, discusses her new novel, This is the Only Kingdom, with Edwidge Danticat, African American and African Diaspora Studies. Book Synopsis: When Maricarmen meets Rey el Cantante, beloved small-time Robin Hood and local musician on the rise, she begins to envision a life beyond the tight-knit community of el Caserío, Puerto Rico—beyond cleaning houses, beyond waiting tables, beyond the constant tug of war between the street hustlers and los camarones. But breaking free proves more difficult than she imagined, and she soon finds herself struggling to make a home for herself, for Rey, his young brother Tito, and eventually, their daughter Nena. Until one fateful day changes everything. Fifteen years later, Maricarmen and Nena find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation as the community that once rallied to support Rey turns against them. Now, Nena, a teenager haunted by loss and betrayal and exploring her sexual identity, must learn to fight for herself and her family in a world not always welcoming.

Book Discussion | Hear about Homesick for a World Unknown, a Book on Ape Researcher George B. Schaller (In Person AND Online!)


Hear about Homesick for a World Unknown, in which Miriam Horn draws on thousands of pages from George B. Schaller's journals and letters, globe-spanning interviews, and two journeys into the field with the legendary scientist himself to trace his emergence as the founding father of modern wildlife conservation. Schaller and his wife, Kay, established a home in the jungle and came to share apes' rhythms and rules. After more than two years of immersive research--a groundbreaking methodology he would spend his life honing--Schaller transformed how the world viewed gorillas; they were not murderous brutes but tender creatures, and more like humans than any twentieth-century scientist had recognized. His mission to revolutionize our perceptions of wild animals would propel him across four continents and inspire generations of scientists.

Discussion | Photographer, Filmmaker, & Author Discusses Craft and Career


Photographer, filmmaker, and author Bruce Weber speaks with fashion designer and author Jeffrey Banks, exploring a legendary career behind the lens. Bruce Weber rose to international prominence in the early 1980s with images that combined classical styling with the visceral underpinnings of mood and sexuality. His ability to craft a sense of romance and drama created the central public images for fashion houses like Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Versace, and Abercrombie and Fitch, and earned him an enduring presence as a contributor to magazines at the very highest levels. Jeffrey Banks has had a long-standing menswear license in Japan and recently designed Jeffrey Banks Womenswear and Jeffrey Banks Home Décor for HSN.

Performance | //shrouded\\: Multi-Genre Living Poem Exploring Memory & Transformation


In this performance, multi-spirited Nigerian American choreographer, author, performance artist, and curator jaamil olawale kosoko's award-winning work is rooted in a complex interdisciplinary practice that merges theater, video, sculpture, and the exploration of queer Black theory. Their new work, //shrouded\\, is a living poem and performative ceremony that recasts the body as an archive of memory and transformation. Performed by kosoko and their ensemble of visionary collaborators, //shrouded\\ unfolds in a shifting veil of silks that conceal and reveal states of metamorphosis. As performers slip between presence and absence, mourning and joy, figure and shadow, kosoko dares to ask what it means to choose to go unseen—in an age shaped by surveillance and spectacle. A unique mash up of poetry, sound, and movement, //shrouded\\ invites audiences into the communal act of reimagining the future. This is a work in development performance. 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.

Concert | West African-Style Percussive Art


The language of West African percussive art presents challenges to the Western musician: the music is not overtly counted, written, nor often played the same way twice. Artists draw from tradition, yet are expected to create their own style, and to improvise in that style. The featured instrument, the gyil, is played by the Lobi, Waala, Sissala, and Dagara nations of Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso.

Musical | The Elementary Spacetime Show: Surreal, Existential Musical (Ages 16+)


In the opening moments of The Elementary Spacetime Show, a young girl, Alameda, attempts to take her own life. She is drawn into a tunnel that deposits her into a liminal void somewhere between life and death. Alameda is faced with an awkward challenge: in order to die,she must play and win a game show. The girl clashes with a depressed mosquito, confronts her doppelgänger’s self-loathing, and adopts a piece of rhubarb as a confidante. Things only get stranger from there. Across the unfolding drama, a queer kinship builds between the unlikely friends she meets in limbo. The Elementary Spacetime Show is a touching and surreal new musical by Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer and lyricist César Alvarez, with a book by Alvarez and Emily Orling that offers possible answers about why we exist, even when you feel alone. Playbill says that Elementary Spacetime "bends the rules of space and time to grapple with suicide and the stigma tethered to it."  Please note: This performance contains adult themes and strong language. Audience discretion is advised; this show is intended for ages 16+. 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.

Book Discussion | Expert Breaks Down Peter Hitchcock's New Book, Seriality and Social Change


This event features a discussion with Jonathan Gray (Associate Professor of English at John Jay College-CUNY) on Peter Hitchcock's new book, Seriality and Social Change, which explores how it structures both knowledge and social change. Through a sweeping analysis that links literature and political economy, Hitchcock explores how serialized narratives frame, sustain, or even hinder movements for change. Does seriality mirror the mechanics of capitalism, or can it be a tool for subverting them? Engaging with this question across genres and forms, Seriality and Social Change invites readers to rethink how revolution is told and imagined over time.

Hollywood in the early 1930s is a town full of secrets. Everyone comes with a story. When Kate arrives in California to launch her film career, she leaves behind her East Coast marriage and icy patrician family to live and love on her own terms. Soon, she is scooped into the studio system and launched as a star—but stars must play by the rules and Kate, brilliant, bisexual, and strong-willed, refuses to conform.

Book Discussion | Scholar Shares Her New Book, The Ocean on Fire: Pacific Stories from Nuclear Survivors and Climate Activists


Anaïs Maurer, Assistant Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University, discusses her new book, The Ocean on Fire: Pacific Stories from Nuclear Survivors and Climate Activists.  In The Ocean on Fire, Maurer analyzes the Pacific literature that incriminates the environmental racism behind radioactive skies and rising seas. Maurer identifies strategies of resistance uniting the region by analyzing an extensive multilingual archive of decolonial Pacific art in French, Spanish, English, Tahitian, and Uvean, ranging from literature to songs and paintings. She shows how Pacific nuclear survivors’ stories reveal an alternative vision of the apocalypse: instead of promoting individualism and survivalism, they advocate mutual assistance, cultural resilience, South-South transnational solidarities, and Indigenous women’s leadership. Drawing upon their experience resisting both nuclear colonialism and carbon imperialism, Pacific storytellers offer compelling narratives to nurture the land and each other in times of global environmental collapse.

When Stella’s mother dies, she leaves her daughter an unusual inheritance: a one-way plane ticket and a note reading “Go to Paris”. In the City of Light, Stella is forced out of her narrow New York comfort zone and into luxurious new French adventures. As the weeks—and many decadent meals—go by, Stella finds herself living as a “tumbleweed” at famed bookstore Shakespeare & Company, uncovers a hundred-year-old mystery in a Manet painting, and discovers an overwhelming passion for French cuisine. A “feast for the senses” (Oprah Daily), Reichl’s novel is a testament to living deliciously, taking chances, and finding your true home.

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


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