Lecture | What is the Ukrainian Diaspora? The Formation of a Transnational Identity Throughout the 20th Century
This talk will present a history of the formation of a common Ukrainian diasporic community in the West, taking into the analysis three main cases: Canada, the US, and Australia. The existence of a single Ukrainian diaspora has been questioned in the past, as the Ukrainian communities in different countries have developed different ways of preserving their Ukrainian cultural patrimony. Despite these differences, Ukrainian communities strove for building and preserving a wider community, especially after the Bolshevik revolution. Speaker Simone Bellezza will provide a story of these attempts: showing that the condition of migrants fostered the development of elastic and transnational national identities, which allowed the individual to be at the same time a full citizen of his/her new country and also a member of a wider international community. This entails a reformulation of the definition of diaspora. Recounting the history of Ukrainian communities abroad, Bellezza will show that the formation of a diasporic community was not a necessary outcome, but the result of particular conditions, political movement, and even individual contributions.

Classical Music | Bach at Noon
The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term 'baroque' has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was 'maestro di capella' at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today's music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi's advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 10, 2019 to May 20, 2020.

Author Reading | Can Neoliberal Capitalism Affect Human Evolution?: How the US Business Class Controls the World
Professor Robert Chernomas, from Manitoba University will present his latest book. The book argues that what appears today as fragmented social, economic, environmental, and political problems are all manifestations of Neoliberalism- a 40-year-old class-based political-economic project to more favorably position capital in its struggle to preserve the conditions of profitability. It examines how the US business class has successfully increased control over, privatized, or modified labor markets, the determinants of health, the health care system, welfare, education, democracy and the natural world with significant effects on our individual and collective life chances.

Author Reading | Boss of the Grips: The Life of James H. Williams and the Red Caps of Grand Central Terminal
A long-overdue biography of the head of Grand Central Terminal’s Red Caps, who flourished in the cultural nexus of Harlem and American railroads. Author Eric K. Washington uncovers the nearly forgotten life of James H. Williams (1878–1948), the chief porter of Grand Central Terminal’s Red Caps―a multitude of Harlem-based black men whom he organized into the essential labor force of America’s most august railroad station. Washington reveals that despite the highly racialized and often exploitative nature of the work, the Red Cap was a highly coveted job for college-bound black men determined to join New York’s burgeoning middle class.

Author Reading | Gordon Bunshaft and SOM: Building Corporate Modernism
Gordon Bunshaft’s landmark 1952 design for Lever House reshaped the Manhattan skyline and elevated the reputation of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the firm where he would spend more than 40 years as a partner. His legacy endures in the corporate headquarters, museums, and libraries that were built in his distinctive modernist style. Although this enigmatic architect left behind few records and famously claimed “the building speaks for itself,” architecture historian Nicholas Adams discerns in his work as a tension between his ambition for acclaim as a singular artistic genius and the collaborative structure of SOM’s architectural partnership. Join us for a talk that examines Bunshaft’s work in a critical context at a time when the future of his some of his iconic works is very much in question.

The Kitchen L.A.B.

This year, the series considers the term “regeneration” as it pertains to creating something new; as it relates to recycling or re-purposing historic issues or material; and, within the broader cultural and political landscape, as it intersects with the historical question of whether to bring about change through revolution or reform. The event features Sara Magenheimer, James Allister Sprang, Greg Tate and Avram Fefer.

Screening | 2 Short Films: Abroad / Like Salt
Abroad - Jad and Rania, a Lebanese immigrant couple living in New York, struggle to achieve their shared dream of breaking into the entertainment industry due, in part, to the typecasting of Middle-Eastern actors. The combined pressures of juggling multiple day jobs and living so far from home begin to eat away at Jad, while Rania relishes the struggle. These differences are brought to light on the day that Jad proposes to Rania, and their relationship is put to a test as it becomes clear that their time abroad has left them yearning for different things. Like Salt - When living in diaspora turns into a boxing match, one learns to fight with bare knuckles. Hala, an Arab American female boxer in New York City, and Kendrick, an African American jazz musician, improvise their way through a passive-aggressive America.

Author Reading | Dictionary of the Undoing: In Defense of Words and Their Meaning
For John Freeman—literary critic, essayist, editor, poet, “one of the preeminent book people of our time” (Dave Eggers)—it is the rare moment when words are not enough. But in the wake of the election of 2016, words felt useless, even indulgent. Action was the only reasonable response. He took to the streets in protest, and the sense of community and collective conviction felt right. But the assaults continued—on citizens’ rights and long-held compacts, on the core principles of our culture and civilization, and on our language itself. Words seemed to be losing the meanings they once had and Freeman was compelled to return to their defense. The result is his Dictionary of the Undoing.

A skillful hybrid of true crime and social history that examines the relationship between newspapers and popular culture in the portrayal of crimes against gay men in the decades before Stonewall.

In Indecent Advances, James Polchin recounts the lurid and euphemistic queer stories from the crime pages that reveal the history of violence against queer men.
