Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Book Discussion | The Connections World: The Future of Asian Capitalism


Simon Commander and Saul Estrin discuss their book. Asia’s development model has depended on industrial policy to support new sectors along with a common reliance on large and powerful business groups. These groups use close and highly transactional connections with politicians to acquire assets, secure financing and other preferential treatment. Not only does the resulting economic firepower of these business groups allow them to dominate the various markets in which they operate, but it also allows them to achieve significant scale relative to the economy as a whole. This has been matched by a parallel and rapid accumulation and concentration of wealth. In their recent book, Commander and Estrin call this the Connections World. Although it has, for the most part, supported Asia’s extraordinary growth, problems with this model, and the configuration of economic and political power that it has enabled, are mounting. Demographics challenge reliance on extensive growth while the attenuation of competition holds back productivity growth, limits the number of high-quality jobs and, most significantly, stands in the way of Asia shifting to greater reliance on innovation. New policies for corporate governance, taxation and the design of competition policy will be needed. Failure to come to grips with the Connections World will impair the brightness of Asia's future.

Lecture | Russia’s Muslims at War (in-person and online)


Since February 2022, the Russian state has attempted to mobilize its Muslim citizens—and Islam—as pivotal elements in support of the invasion of Ukraine. In turn, the war has confronted Muslim communities in Russia with a host of challenges. This talk explores the spectrum of responses that key Muslim elites have offered in adapting to the Kremlin’s agenda in Ukraine and assesses the role of Islam in shaping the course of the war and the politics of the region. Speaker Robert Crews is professor of history at Stanford University, where he writes and teaches about global history and politics, focusing on Russia, Afghanistan, Central Asia, South Asia, and Islam.

Discussion | A Lenapehoking Anthology: The Myth of the Purchase of Manhattan (In Person AND Online)


Contributors to A Lenapehoking Anthology explore the personal journeys of people seeking welcome in their ancestral homeland while pushing back against their erasure. Before New York City, there was Lenapehoking, the ancestral land of the Lenape people. Forcibly displaced by European settlers, their land was stolen to create settler states. Now, in an act of reclamation, A Lenapehoking Anthology, recently published by the Lenape Center and the Brooklyn Public Library, contends with subjects ranging from the myth of the purchase of Manhattan to the self-curation of indigenous art and culture. Lenape Center co-founders and co-directors Joe Baker, Curtis Zunigha, and Hadrien Coumans will join each other in conversation. About the Speakers Joe Baker is an artist, educator, curator and activist who has been working in the field of Native Arts for the past 30 years. He is an enrolled member of the Delaware Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma and co-founder executive director of Lenape Center in Manhattan. He serves as a board member for The Endangered Language Fund, Yale University and on the Advisory Committee for the National Public Art Consortium, New York and cultural advisor for the new CBS series Ghosts. Baker has guided in his capacity as executive director for Lenape Center partnerships with the Metropolitan Museum of Art (his work is currently on exhibit there), Brooklyn Museum of Art, American Ballet Theater, Moulin Rouge on Broadway, The Whitney Museum of Art, and others.

Curtis Zunigha is co-founder and co-director of The Lenape Center, based in New York City, which promotes the history and culture of the Lenape people (also known as Delaware Indians) through the arts, humanities, social identity, and environmental activism.

Opening Reception | Hedy Lamarr: Actress. Inventor. Viennese.


The installation pays homage to the famous Austro-American actress Hedy Lamarr by specifically stressing her groundbreaking achievements as an inventor. It was only years after her famous screen career had ended that Lamarr achieved recognition for pioneering the technology that would become the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems. The exhibition will feature professional and private photographs of Hedy Lamarr, which were taken throughout her life. In addition, personal letters and documents, drawings, ephemera and even a dirndl from her personal collection will be on display. To highlight Lamarr’s achievements as an inventor, her legendary torpedo defense drawings, which are considered the precursors of today’s Bluetooth technology, as well as various awards will be integrated into the elaborate installation.

Book Club | Television by Jean-Philippe Toussaint (in-person and online)


The amusingly odd protagonist and narrator of Jean-Philippe Toussaint's novel is an academic on sabbatical in Berlin to work on his book about Titian. With his research completed, all he has left to do is sit down and write. Unfortunately, he can't decide how to refer to his subject: Titian, le Titien, Vecellio, Titian Vecellio so instead he starts watching TV continuously, until one day he decides to renounce the most addictive of twentieth-century inventions. As he spends his summer still not writing his book, he is haunted by television, from the video surveillance screens in a museum to a moment when it seems everyone in Berlin is tuned in to Baywatch. One of Toussaint's funniest antiheroes, the protagonist of Television turns daily occurrences into an entertaining reflection on society and the influence of television on our lives.

Book Discussion | The Flowers of Buffoonery: Aftermath of a Failed Suicide


For the first time in English, Osamu Dazai’s hilariously comic and deeply moving prequel to No Longer Human. The Flowers of Buffoonery opens in a seaside sanitarium where Yozo Oba—the narrator of No Longer Human at a younger age—is being kept after a failed suicide attempt. While he is convalescing, his friends and family visit him, and other patients and nurses drift in and out of his room. Against this dispiriting backdrop, everyone tries to maintain a lighthearted, even clownish atmosphere: playing cards, smoking cigarettes, vying for attention, cracking jokes, and trying to make each other laugh.

Staged Reading | Just Tell No One: The Human Consequences of War (featuring material from Ukrainian playwrights)


A site-specific, multi-media staged reading featuring material from Ukrainian playwrights Natal'ya Vorozhbit and Oksana Savchenko as translated by Sasha Dugsdale and John Freedman with Natalia Bratus. Just Tell No One reveals the human consequences of war. The piece illuminates a part of the world where an incomprehensible set of rules is at play, and people struggle to make sense of the complexity of one another with life and death consequences. This reading immerses the audience in these human stories using dark humor, intimate moments, and images of conflict so exquisitely painful they can no longer be perceived as real.
