Lecture | Ukrainian-Jewish Relations on the Eve of and During the Holocaust (online)


This lecture will focus on prewar Ukrainian-Jewish relations, a matter that ultimately determined the attitude of the Ukrainian population toward the Jews during the Holocaust. With an emphasis on the lives of Jews and Ukrainians in Soviet Ukraine in the 1930s, particular attention will be paid to the Jewish kolkhozes (collective farms) established by the Agro-Joint in Soviet Ukraine and the attitude of Ukrainians to those settlements. Ukrainian-Jewish relations during the Holocaust will also be addressed and will concentrate on two aspects. First, the denunciation of Jews by Ukrainians, who delivered the victims to the German and Romanian authorities. The second is the rescue and safeguarding of Jews by Ukrainians, the circumstances and motivation for which will be examined. Research for this project has been based on a wide range of the YIVO archival collections, particularly Holocaust survival testimonies, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and its Agro-Joint branch documentation, as well as official German reports. Speaker Hanna Abakunova holds her PhD in Holocaust History from the University of Sheffield (UK).

Classical Music | Solo Piano Performance of a Composition by Schumann (In Person and Online)


A recital by the Piano Performance Forum. Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856) Kreisleriana, Op. 16. Schumann claimed to have written Kreisleriana in only four days in April 1838. The work was dedicated to Frederic Chopin, but when a copy was sent to the Polish composer, "he commented favorably only on the design of the title page". Despite that cool reception, Kreisleriana is viewed by some critics as one of Schumann's finest compositions. In 1839, soon after publishing it, Schumann called it in a letter "my favourite work."

Book Signing | Almost Something: Return to Korea


Born in South Korea, Hanna Moon became interested in fashion and moved to Seoul for two years to study textile, before flying to London at the age of 22 as part of a one-year exchange, where she studied fashion communication, discovered photography and assisted the photographer Tyronne Lebon. For her first book, she has returned to Korea, to Seoul, but also to Daejeon, her hometown, 150 km south of the capital. Back to her roots, her family, and her friends. A dive into a country which remains mysterious to the West, despite its rising influence on popular culture. In Moon’s book the overall mood is intimate – and save some cinematic shots of casted talent, refreshingly less glamorous than the generally sanitized images of Korea we are used to.  Here her country, serves as a captivating backdrop, but the photographer’s friends and family are its candid stars.

Opening Reception | Gwen Smith: The Chance Whale


This show surveys the coincidence of a pre-emancipatory history of Blackness and the sea as relating to ideas concealed in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick and Smith’s own surfer’s quest, her spiritual navigation from the womb to the ocean. These surreal, highly saturated compositions are a means of exploring and connecting Smith’s Black American lineage, the African Diaspora, and the often complex relationships of Black people to nature, particularly to the ocean.

Opening Reception | The Black Civil War Soldier: Stoic Portraits and Intimate Ephemera


An opening reception and book signing for The Black Civil War Soldier, curated by Deborah Willis. The exhibition is a stunning collection of stoic portraits and intimate ephemera from the lives of black Civil War soldiers. Portraits of black soldiers, whether taken in a photographic studio, on a battleground, or on a campground, are connected to the concept of democracy and citizenship expressed by abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass. Willis seeks to engage that sense of activism and highlight the various acts of courage by black men and women, both bonded and free, during the Civil War, as well as the rewards they received. These are experiences shared by all the soldiers, no matter their backgrounds.

Talk | Artist Talk: Dominican Iconography (online)


Nicolas Dumit Estevez Raful Espejo Ovalles's research on the Virgin of Altagracia's iconography, the spiritual protector of many in the Dominican Republic, as well as Haiti and the diaspora. Through Visioning the Brown Mother, an experiential excavation of HSM&L's collection of images of the Mother exported/imposed to the so-called new world, Visioning the Brown Mother seeks to decolonize this iconography in varied geo-political perspectives through one-on-one dialogues/reflections, and through spontaneous in-person exchanges in the streets of the City. Nicolas's one-person pilgrimage from his home in the South Bronx to Washington Heights (also home to the Hispanic Society), two enclaves of Dominican presence in New York City, takes into consideration a back and forth between these two loci informing one another culturally. Nicolas was born in the Dominican Republic. He threads an elusive path that manifests itself performatively or through experiences where the quotidian and art overlap. Many of his work is ephemeral as it is the experience of engaging with it. Nicolas's creative praxis often includes community involvement and/or religious/spiritual questioning.

Discussion | Civility in Social Media and the News Media (online)


A group of scholars and practitioners will examine the role of social media and the news media in shaping civil discourse in America. They will examine how advances in technology have driven the breakdown in civility. They will address questions including: How much is technology itself to blame versus misplaced attention by those in political media (e.g. ignoring the “workhorses” in Congress; and covering “fights” and election horse races rather than policymaking)? What is the responsibility of online platforms? What has been the impact of the decline in local and community-based news sources? And how do journalists and online commentators shape how we see ourselves, see others, and interact with each other? Speakers include: Imran Ahmed, founder and CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate US/UK; Paul Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Public Integrity' Chenjerai Kumanyika (moderator), Assistant Professor of Journalism; and Sarah Sobieraj, Department Chair and Professor of Sociology at Tufts University.

Discussion | Generation Disaster: Shaped by Trauma (in-person and online)


A particular slice of the population, which includes roughly the younger half of Millennials and the older half of Gen Z, are distinguished by the fact that while they live in the shadow of 9/11, it is an event for which they may not have a memory or complete understanding. Disaster mental health expert Karla Vermeulen refers to this group – those who were born between 1989 and 2001 - as Generation Disaster in her latest book of the same name. She is joined by Florence Buchanan, director of the documentary films Right There and Right There Part 2, which follow a group of 12 students from PS 234, an elementary school located three blocks north of the World Trade Center, as they reflect on their experiences at the milestone junctures of 10 and 20 years after the 9/11 attacks. One of the students, now a special education teacher, Jenice Lyla Walford, shares her personal reflections as a member of this generation. Together, in conversation with Noah Rauch, the Museum’s Senior Vice President, they discuss the trauma caused by numerous events that have followed since the attacks and how these events have continued to shape all of us – as kids, as adults, as parents, and as a community.

A groundbreaking publication offering insight into the critical conversations and misconceptions around this unrivaled artist’s works. Best known for her penetrating images exploring what it means to be human, Diane Arbus is a pivotal and singular figure in American postwar photography. Arbus’s black-and-white photographs demolish aesthetic conventions and upend all certainties. Both lauded and criticized for her photographs of people deemed “outsiders,” Arbus continues to be a lightning rod for a wide range of opinions surrounding her subject matter and approach. Critics and writers have described her work as “sinister” and “appalling” as well as “revelatory,” “sincere,” and “compassionate.” Through an assemblage of articles, criticism, and essays from 1967 to the present, Diane Arbus Documents charts the reception of the revolutionary photographer's work. With Jarrett Earnest and Max Rosenberg.

Talk | Artist Talk: The Life and Times of Mark Surface


Artist Stephen Powers to discuss 30 years of painting in the streets, the galleries and the museums of the world, followed by a Q&A. Powers began as a graffiti writer but quickly found ways to dialogue with communities, first locally and now internationally. He is known for large-scale mural projects like “Love Letter,” which was first painted across 50 walls in Philadelphia and has now grown to be part of 15 cities worldwide. He has also had a long gallery and museum practice, showing at Deitch Projects, The Brooklyn Museum and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. At the heart of his art is the humble hand-painted sign. He has painted signs for Coney Island amusements, record stores and taco shops throughout New York City. Powers advocates for public art as service, looking for ways to amplify voices that would otherwise go unheard, making money for small businesses and keeping the visual landscape of cities beautifully chaotic.
