Discussion | Impact Fees: A New Direction for NYC? (online)


Impact fees are one-time charges imposed on new development as a condition of approval to offset the development’s impact on local infrastructure, services, and the environment. A revenue-raising tool, they are broadly based on the idea that new development should be responsible for paying for a share of the new or additional public infrastructure and services needed to support it, and for the costs the governments incurs in mitigating its adverse impacts on the environment. Employed widely in other major U.S. cities, New York City does not have an official impact fee policy. Some have called for the City to explore charging impact fees to help cover the costs of the public infrastructure, services, and programs necessitated by new development. Yet, there are open questions surrounding the city's legal authority to charge impact fees, as well as whether they are an appropriate or viable policy choice. At this upcoming event, a panel of experts will come together to explore these questions and share their perspectives on this issue.

Discussion | Step by Step: Recreating a Family's Lost Holocaust History (online)


Holocaust survivors can have a difficult time talking about what they experienced during World War II. However, this can leave their descendants wondering what happened to their relatives and how it impacted them. This is what happened to Jessica Shaw. She had been told that her father Henri had escaped France as a child by climbing over the Pyrenees Mountains with his mother and younger sister into Spain, where he reunited with his father. The family journeyed through Spain, Portugal, and Cuba before they ended up in the United States. During the COVID-19 lockdown, Shaw made the decision to recreate her father's journey, which she wrote about in the New York Times. Along the way, Jessica discovered that most of what she knew of her father's escape from France was wrong. Join the Museum for a program exploring Shaw's journey. Jessica will be in conversation with her sister, Dr. Laura Shaw Frank, the American Jewish Committee's Director of Contemporary Jewish Life. They will discuss the broader history of the Holocaust in France, what it means to be the children of a Holocaust survivor, and the cost of not asking difficult questions about family history.

Opening Reception | The Clamor of Ornament: Exchange, Power, and Joy from the Fifteenth Century to the Present


Bringing together more than 200 objects produced over the past five centuries, this show will explore ornament in architecture, art, and design through the lens of drawing. The exhibition will foreground ornament's potential as a mode of communication, a form of currency, and a means of exchange across geographies and cultures. The Clamor of Ornament will seek to address the multilayered complexity of the history of ornament, including the dissonance between the unequal and destructive relationships that mediate its movement between sources. Together, the objects on view will both celebrate and interrogate ornament's fluidity by making connections between motifs, methods, and intentions

Book Discussion | American Shtetl: The Story of the Uniquely American, Self-Governing Religious Community in Upstate NY (in-person and online)


In 1972 leaders of the Satmar Hasidic dynasty in Williamsburg purchased a small tract of land in upstate New York. Five years later Kiryas Joel was born, a legal jurisdiction granted to the Satmars by the state of New York. The new book American Shtetl, by Nomi M. Stolzenberg and David N. Myers, is the story of Kiryas Joel, an American town with few parallels in Jewish history--but many precedents among religious communities in the United States. Stolzenberg and Myers document how this group of pious, Yiddish-speaking Jews has grown to become a thriving insular enclave and a powerful local government in upstate New York. Stolzenberg and Myers speak with New Yorker staff writer Larissa MacFarquhar about their new book and their fifteen years of research into Kiryas Joel, an "only in America phenomenon."

Film | Dear Thomas (2021): A Man Who Overcame Boundaries


Director Andreas Kleinert's Thomas Brasch biopic shows the life and dreams of a man for whom every world was always too small, someone who overcame boundaries and caused damage in the process. 150 min. The film has been nominated for the German Film Awards in 12 categories. "Born in England to Kindertransport refugees who were active Communists - Thomas Brasch came to embody the fault lines of German history like few other artists. As his father Horst Brasch rose in the ranks of East Germany's ruling Socialist Unity Party, Thomas became an uncompromisingly radical writer whose activism led to censorship and three months in prison. After his move to West Germany, he refused to play the role of GDR-dissident and focused his critique on West German society and German history in plays, poetry, and a series of brilliant but challenging films. Although he is highly regarded as a translator of Chekhov's and Shakespeare's works into German, none of Thomas Brasch's major works have ever been published in English. His major films, jarring meditations on German history such as Der Passagier - Welcome to Germany (1988, starring Tony Curtis as a choleric Hollywood director who returns to Germany to make a film about his experience in a concentration camp), are rarely shown in the United States. This spring, LBI, the Goethe-Institut New York, The German Film Office, The German Consulate General in New York, Deutsches Haus at NYU, and the Friends of Freiburg Alumni of North America re-introduce audiences to this remarkable artist and story."

Talk | Fighting Back Against Voter Suppression in the States Right Now


Our democracy is under attack and the ability of every American to cast their vote and have it counted is in jeopardy due to recent state laws that were designed to suppress the votes of people of color, people with disabilities, and poor people. Andrea Miller, Founder of the Center for Common Ground, leads an up-to-the minute discussion of these state voter suppression laws and how we combat them while equipping voters with the information they need to surmount the barriers placed in their way. She’ll also discuss examples of good state legislation that protects the right to vote, ensures language access, ample ballot boxes and other key provisions. Questions will follow.

Discussion | Mapping Queer Surroundings, A Panel on Visibility and Space


Artist Mario Kiesenhofer’s work deals with the dispositive of photography and how it sharpens the view onto realities that are not perceived as such. He maps surfaces and addresses the constitution of social spaces and landscapes used for intimate encounters and sexual interactions by the gay community. How are these queer safe spaces formed, where do they emerge, and how do they change? With these questions in mind, Kiesenhofer focuses on in-between spaces, following Foucault’s concept of heterotopia. He explores these ephemeral spaces with his camera, creating photographic objects and video installations that blur realities. Mario Kiesenhofer lives and works in Vienna and is represented by Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art in New York.

Discussion | Gun Violence in America: Disinformation and the Battle for the Truth (online)


What should we do about gun violence in America? Why do mass shootings happen here more than anywhere else? How can we move past the deadlock in Congress? A crucial first step is to separate the truth from the misinformation and conspiracy theories that surround events like the Buffalo and Uvalde shootings. New York Times reporter Elizabeth Williamson, author of Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for the Truth, moderates a clear-eyed conversation with experts Ryan Busse, former firearms executive and author of Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America and Oren Segal, Vice President of the ADL's Center on Extremism. They explore the dangerous impacts of disinformation on mass shootings, gun-related conspiracy theories that target victims and stall progress, how we got to the state we're in, and how we can move forward.
