Book Discussion | An Ugly Word: Rethinking Race in Italy and the United States (in-person and online)
Scholars and politicians often assume a significant gap between the ways that Americans and Europeans think about race. According to this template, in the U.S. race is associated with physical characteristics, while in Western Europe race has disappeared, and discrimination is based on insurmountable cultural differences. However, little research has addressed how average Americans and Europeans actually think and talk about race. In her book, sociologist Ann Morning examines American and Italian understandings of group difference in order to determine if and how they may differ.

A conversation and signing with editors Cathryn Dwyre, Chris Perry, David Salomon, and Kathy Velikov, moderated by Peder Anker. The writers and designers in this collection are among the most thoughtful architects, artists, landscape architects, and theorists working today.

Opening Reception | Nenad Samuilo Amodaj: Hoop and Ball
A series of photographs from June 2010 with dancer and author Shawnrey Notto. The photographs were based on an earlier series of drawings Nenad made of Notto wearing parts of the deconstructed wedding dress during his figure drawing study in Michael Markowitz’s 23rd Street studio in San Francisco. The hoop skirt serves as an augmentation device, a skeletal extension meant to alter the visual perception of the human form. To realize the full associative power of the hoop, Amodaj created a counter-shape to the hoop, a white sphere (the Ball) made from plaster strips, to match the cloth texture and placed it in a dynamic relationship with his model. Notto improvised the poses from Nenad’s drawings in constant slow motion. The whole project was done in two 3-hour sessions with no rehearsals and no replays. The minimalistic setting, uniform lighting, and central vantage point shift perception from a trivial reality to a metaphysical one. The intent was to induce the spectator to spontaneously alternate between the three aspects: the human form, the symbolic function of the skirt, and the geometry of the cone and sphere. The spontaneity of dynamic poses and the imperfections of a handheld camera balance this sparse imagery. The exhibition presents a selection of 15 photographs from a project collection of over a hundred. Most of the series are gelatin-silver prints from a 35 mm film, with a few exceptions for large-scale digital color prints.

Ethical culture is a humanist community that esteems ethics as its core precept, human worth and dignity as its central value, and community, sustainability and freedom as its principal goals.

This is the first of a five part program to discover ethical culture including its philosophy, its history, and its meaning for personal growth and fulfillment. Facilitated by Dr. Joseph Chuman and Dr. Richard Koral.

Concert | Something about the Weather: A Concert of Traditional Instruments, Digital Processing and Everyday Objects
A new and original work by New York-based composer, producer, and performer Hahn Rowe. Rowe describes Something about the Weather as "an inquiry into what we do when we are left to make something from nothing. While old structures are stubbornly refusing to die, many have lost the ability to dream of another reality. Music and sound can ignite our ability to ride along the edges of our imagination, where transformation is possible." In this concert, Rowe will use digital processing alongside traditional instruments and crude, everyday objects to build a fluid, shapeshifting soundscape for the Lantern -- the flexible, top-floor space of the venue. "An expedition in the wilderness? A cooking show gone awry? A negotiation of inclement conditions?," Rowe asks. Something about the Weather is "a ritual romp through a playground of all things sonorous."
