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

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

Classical Music | The Schoenberg-Puccini Connection: The Concert
Program: Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) Pierrot Lunaire Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) Terra e Mare Sole e Amore Avanti, Urania! On April 1, 1924, Palazzo Pitti in Florence hosted a "Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music" aimed at presenting new musical trends to Italian audiences. The highlight of the performance was the Florentine premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's 'Pierrot Lunaire'. To the composer's delight, attending in the audience - score in hand - was Italy's preeminent opera composer, Giacomo Puccini. On April 1, 1924, Palazzo Pitti in Florence hosted a "Festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music" with the goal of presenting new musical trends to Italian audiences. The highlight of the performance was the Florentine premiere of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire, an atonal melodrama for soprano and chamber ensemble composed in 1912 that was already becoming the Austrian composer's most celebrated and performed work. The composer himself led the performance from the podium. To his delight, attending in the audience - score in hand - was Italy's preeminent opera composer, Giacomo Puccini, whom Schoenberg considered one of the innovators of twentieth-century harmonic language. One hundred years later, as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Schoenberg's birth, and the centennial of Puccini's death, this is an evening dedicated to the impact of these two composers, not only on each other, but on the world around them, and on the many composers who have continued to carry the torch of their musical innovation.    New York City, NY; NYC

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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