Fair | October 7th, 06:29AM: An Immersive Exhibition on Nova Music Festival Massacre
To celebrate the end of his two years of service as a medic in the Israel Defense Forces' paratrooper division, Tomer Meir joined 13 of his friends at the Nova Musica Festival on the weekend of October 6 in Re'im in southern Israel. It was his first ever music festival. "It was the best moments of my life. I can't explain the state we were in," the 21-year-old told the New York Jewish Week. "It was pure love -- people dancing, laughing, smiling. All the good stuff that we're living for." Until 6:29 a.m. on Saturday morning. The red alerts, the rockets and the running. "The music stopped. The rockets started. We started running for our lives," Meir said. Meir is a survivor of the Nova Music Festival Massacre, where Hamas militants killed 364 festival-goers and took at least 40 hotstages on the morning of Oct. 7. Six months after the attack, Meir is in New York sharing his story as part of an interactive exhibit about that day, which he says is helping him heal. The Nova Musical Festival exhibition, titled October 7th, 06:29AM, is an immersive step into what it was like to be at the festival when it was attacked. Screens show clips from the attack on Nova are displayed next to personal and camping items taken from the festival recreating the festival layout. The exhibit, which debuted in Tel Aviv for 10 weeks in December, was created by Israeli designers and cultural producers, many of whom were producers with the Nova Music Festival itself. It was brought to New York with the help of Scooter Braun, the Jewish-American music producer and philanthropist. The exhibit recreates the visuals and sounds of the Nova Music Festival massacre. But the New York version is in some ways "more intense," according to Yael Finkelstein, a volunteer who collected items from the Nova site and helped set up both the Tel Aviv and New York exhibit. New elements at the New York exhibit include dozens of video testimonies from survivors, Zaka volunteers and family members, as well as graphic raw footage taken on Oct. 7 from both festival-goers and Hamas militants. In addition, survivors of the massacre such as Meir and Sassi will be at the exhibit every day to share their stories and answer questions. Their goal, Meir said, is to show New Yorkers that the horror they experienced could happen to anyone.

Film | The Taming of the Shrew (1967) with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
In this film adaptation of the classic Shakespeare play, Grumio and Hortensio both long to wed the same beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, her wealthy father will not let his daughter marry unless her hot-tempered sister, Katherina, also has a suitor. Luckily, the slovenly Petruchio is looking for an affluent woman to marry, so Grumio and Hortensio pay him to try to woo the extremely volatile Katherina. Director: Franco Zeffirelli Cast: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Cyril Cusack, Michael Hordern, Alfred Lynch, Alan Webb, Victor Spinetti, Michael York, Natasha Pyne Elizabeth Taylor began her career as a child actress in the early 1940s and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She then became the world's highest paid movie star in the 1960s, remaining a well-known public figure for the rest of her life. In 1999, the American Film Institute named her the seventh-greatest female screen legend of Classic Hollywood cinema. Richard Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, and gave a memorable performance as Hamlet in 1964. He is widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation. Burton was nominated for an Academy Award seven times, but never won. He received BAFTAs, Golden Globes, and Tony Awards for Best Actor. In the mid-1960s, Burton became a top box office star, and by the late 1960s, he was one of the highest-paid actors in the world.

Opening Reception | Lola Flash and Alice O'Malley: Gay 90s in Photographs
Photographers Lola Flash and Alice O’Malley are both veterans of women’s clubs and AIDS activism in 1990s New York. This show presents their individually curated slide shows, primarily featuring images from that indelible decade, displayed on opposite walls of the gallery. By 1990, photo slide shows had become a nearly instant, affordable way to celebrate queer beauty and militant eroticism within our clubhouses. Group empowerment and reflecting our unity were crucial during those heady years. We railed against censorship and queer phobia, while AIDS ravaged friends, family, and lovers, because we had no effective medicines to suppress it and a government that vilified us. These photographs gave us visibility and strength. Come see. In addition, the exhibition will feature a constellation of prints from Alice O’Malley’s slide show, along with Lola Flash’s vibrant metal portraits of downtown New York LEGENDS and a trio of images from her surmise series.

Book Discussion | The World Got Away by Mikel Rouse
This evening's event celebrates Mikel Rouse with a discussion about his new memoir, The World Got Away, and a listening party of his new album Language Barrier. The memoir channels Rouse’s high energy personality into an exuberant account of the precarity and pleasures of artistic creation. Raconteur and starving artist, Rouse emerged from the legendary art world of 1980s New York to build a forty-year career defined by stage and musical successes, inexhaustible creativity, and a support network of famous faces, loyal allies, and high art hustlers. The World Got Away guides readers through a working artists’ hardscrabble life while illuminating the unromantic truth that a project’s reception may depend on a talented cast and crew but can depend on reliable air conditioning. Brent Reidy, Andrew W. Mellon Director of the Research Libraries at NYPL, will moderate a conversation with Rouse about the book, and his life and work. They will be joined by Andrew Rose Gregory and Evan Gregory of The Gregory Brothers. Following the event, there will be a book signing. Registration required.

Concert | Kim Gordon, Founding Member of Sonic Youth
Kim Gordon has been making outsider art in and out of the mainstream since she first arrived in New York City in the 1970s. Her work with the iconic 90s rock band Sonic Youth formed the vanguard of experimental guitar music in the downtown scene and was soon exported around the world, shaping modern rock music in the process. With Sonic Youth in her rearview, the 70-year-old rock matriarch is still kicking ass and taking names, exhibiting visual art and wielding distortion and dissonance to make some of the most exciting sounds at the bleeding edge of rock. She brings her latest LP The Collective to the park. She’s joined by the Sun Ra Arkestra, a group which, after nearly 70 years of cosmic jazz innovation, is as much an institution as it is a band. 99-year-old saxophonist Marshall Allen (who has been with the group since 1958, and bandleader since Sun Ra’s death in 1993) leads more than a dozen musicians through transportive sets that reveal a spirit that has influenced jazz music—and beyond—for multiple generations. They’re joined by Slauson Malone 1, a performance piece created by the artist and musician Jasper Marsalis that explores the possible intersections of popular music and performance art. His latest LP Excelsior explores masculinity with a newfound clarity, interrogating his own lived experiences through songs and movements. Slauson Malone 1 is accompanied by cellist Nicky Wetherell.

Book Discussion | The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan
In this novel, an ordinary housewife becomes an unlikely spy—and her dark secrets will test even the most unbreakable ties. Malaya, 1945. Cecily Alcantara’s family is in terrible danger: her fifteen-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day. Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth. A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be more than a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fujiwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an “Asia for Asians.” Instead, Cecily helped usher in an even more brutal occupation by the Japanese. Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction—and she will do anything to save them. Spanning years of pain and triumph, told from the perspectives of four unforgettable characters, The Storm We Made is a dazzling saga about the horrors of war; the fraught relationships between the colonized and their oppressors, and the ambiguity of right and wrong when survival is at stake. At this event, Vanessa Chan will discuss her book and more with fellow writer Qian Julie Wang.

Concert | Sonic Futures
Sonic Futures is the culmination of a semester-long dialogue between the Berklee College of Music’s Department of Electronic Production and Design students and Nona Hendryx’s Dream Machine project. Primarily focused on Afrofuturism and spatial audio, throughout the semester, the students have been crafting a soundscape for Bina48’s Garden that reflects each of their interpretations of, and hopes for, what the future may sound like. The resulting soundscape threads a narrative of care, inclusivity, possibility, and cultural diversity while also articulating a critique of the abuse of power done in the name of technological growth and violence produced by sociocultural biases. Inspired by The Dream Machine’s invitation to be a limitless dreamer, the works created by the group animate the future they want to see, now. The event will feature the 10 pieces that compose the Garden’s soundscape and provide space for conversation between the artists and the audience.
