George Washington struggles to define his presidency; James Madison presents the Bill of Rights; Muscogee (Creek) Chief Alexander McGillivray maneuvers to preserve his nation's land by signing the first international treaty with the United States; and Ona Judge, a woman enslaved by Martha Washington, sees through the Quaker petitions to end the slave trade.

Lecture | Between America and France: Varian Fry and the Rescue of Artists (online)
The American journalist, Varian Fry (1907-1967), rescued some 2,000 individuals - most artists and writers - from France 1940-1941. This online talk by Ori Z. Soltes focuses on the artists’ Schindler, the American journalist, Varian Fry (1907-1967). Using methods both legal and not, Fry managed to rescue some 2,000 individuals from France between 1940 and 1941. France had become largely swallowed up by Nazi Germany, the “free” parts in Southern France (Vichy France) were not necessarily unreluctant to assist with the deportation of Jews into Nazi-held territories, and the US immigration policies were far from open-handed to those seeking refuge. Who was he and who were some of those he helped—or in some cases, could not help—to escape destruction? Varian Fry and his rescue efforts are featured in Transatlantic, a new limited series now playing on Netflix.

Concert | Music and Art Under the Arch
Over the course of a three-decade career that’s taken her around the world and back again, internationally lauded “songwriter’s songwriter” Dayna Kurtz has intermittently dived into her crate digger’s curated repertoire of largely obscure soul and R&B gems, as well as penned originals designed to sound as though they’d been unearthed from the same record hound’s favorite crypt, all caressed with the rich, rough and smoky vocals The Washington Post once described as a “deep hued garnet of lifeblood and beauty.” Casey Opstad was born and raised in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He went to Kelly Elementary, Schroeder Middle School, Red River High School, and then onto the University of North Dakota. After graduating in 2000 from UND, he moved to New York City with friends that had attended school out East. Then from 2009-2011 he lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota attending graduate school at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Upon graduation he moved back to New York City and worked mainly painting and drawing murals and doing commission work for clients in the area.

Opening Reception | Jimmy Wright: Emotional Repositories
Jimmy Wright’s large scale oil paintings and pastel works of sunflowers reimagine the subject’s meaning, becoming what the artist calls “repositories of emotion.” Wright began painting still lifes in 1988, during the height of the AIDS epidemic. As he was caring for his partner, who was gravely ill with HIV/AIDS, Wright was looking for a studio practice that would allow him to work intermittently and preserve his sense of self. Never having painted still lifes before, he purchased giant sunflowers from a farmer’s market and watched the petals twist and shrink as the flowers withered. These flowers reflect a broad and fluid array of human emotions, and they became powerful memento mori and vessels for themes of grief, memorialization, selfhood, and resurrection.

Book Discussion | To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse by Howard Fishman
An in-person discussion with musician, playwright, director, and composer Howard Fishman, about his new book To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life, Music, and Mystery of Connie Converse. Converse was a pioneer of what’s become known as the singer-songwriter era, making music in the predawn of a movement that had its roots in the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960s. It was while living alone in a studio apartment at 23 Grove Street that Ms. Converse wrote almost all of her “guitar song” catalog. The book is a mysterious true story of a mid-century New York City songwriter, singer, and composer whose haunting music hasn’t found broad recognition–yet. When musician and New Yorker contributor Howard Fishman first heard Connie Converse’s voice on a recording, he was convinced she could not be real. Her recordings were too good not to know, and too out of place for the 1950s to make sense—a singer who seemed to bridge the gap between traditional Americana (country, blues, folk, jazz, and gospel), the Great American Songbook, and the singer-songwriter movement that exploded a decade later with Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Fishman weaves a narrative of her life and music and ultimately places her in the canon as a significant outsider artist, a missing link between a now old-fashioned kind of American music and the reflective, complex, arresting music that transformed the 1960s and music forever. Brittany Spanos, a senior writer at Rolling Stone, will be interviewing Howard Fishman. Since 2015, she has written numerous features, reviews, and essays on the history of popular music and current music topics. Outside of writing, she hosts two podcasts for the publication: Don’t Let This Flop and 500 Greatest Albums. Prior to taking on her role at Rolling Stone, Spanos worked as the Clubs Editor at Village Voice, handling concert listings for the paper while contributing interviews and reviews to its music blog.

Slide Lecture | A New Founding Figure
Historian Claire Bellerjeau gives a captivating illustrated presentation that delves into the discovery of a new founding figure named Elizabeth, known as "Liss." Through engaging storytelling and visuals, we will embark on a journey to explore Liss's remarkable story, shedding light on her enslavement by the Townsend family of Oyster Bay, New York, and her subsequent escape with the British forces. We will then follow her path as she faces re-enslavement in Manhattan and later Charleston. Liss's complex struggle for freedom offers us a unique perspective on the country's founding era, as seen through the eyes of an enslaved Black woman yearning for liberty in a nation grappling with its own fight for independence. Within Liss's journey, encounter a cast of notable figures who intersect with her path. Robert Townsend, also known as "Culper, Jr." of the Culper Spy Ring--George Washington's trusted spy in Manhattan during the Revolutionary War. Alongside Townsend, we will encounter influential figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Benedict Arnold, John Graves Simcoe, John Andre, and John Adams. Their presence in Liss's story highlights the intricate web of connections that characterized this transformative period in American history.

Concert | 2 Korean Rock Bands
The undeniable chart-topping popularity of K-Pop has raised Korea to the heights of global creative influence, but that's not all Korea has to offer. The country's thriving independent rock scene offers a nuanced counterpart to K-pop's glossier production. K-Indie’s diverse expression of sound - from guitar-driven, underground post-rock to mellow, lo-fi electronics - mark it as the likely next big thing in Korea's role as a cultural exporter. Seoul punk and indie rock pioneers Crying Nut and Busan surf-rock indie band Say Sue Me give an energetic taste of Korean rock n roll. Crying Nut became a household name in South Korea following their performances at the 2002 FIFA World Cup and Say Sue Me won Best Modern Rock Album and Best Modern Rock Song at the 2019 Korean Music Awards. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see both bands performing in New York City.

Play | Malvolio: An Irreverent "Sequel" to Shakespeare's Twelfth Night -- Outdoors
It's wartime. A lowborn steward, Malvolio, has risen to the rank of general. He is determined to seek vengeance on a cast of characters who tormented him twenty years earlier. Malvolio encounters Volina, the daughter of Duke Orsino and Duchess Viola. Dismayed by the apathy of her fellow nobles, Volina tries to pass as male to join the war effort. When she falls in love with him, Malvolio is sure her ardent displays of unbridled passion and awkward love letters must be a trick. How do we get past each other's defenses? Can the right kind of love heal all wounds? Malvolio explores the difference between revenge and redemption. Written by Betty Shamieh.
