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 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its doors in the spirit of the administration's motto: one city, rising together. In keeping with that theme, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art installation, titled “Windows on the City: Looking Out at Gracie’s New York.” This tour repeats every Monday.

Discussion | Racial Inequality in Cuba: Migration and Remittances
Few social transformations have attacked social inequalities more thoroughly than the 1959 Cuban revolution. Three decades of crisis and reform have however, affected many of the revolution’s social achievements. Today, Cuban society is marked by rising levels of poverty and inequality, growing unemployment, dwindling social services and continuous outward migration. Moreover, in the context of a changing economy, defined by the declining role of the state and the introduction of market mechanisms, new social stratifications are emerging – and doing so along clearly visible, racial lines. Inequality and race, both dominant themes in pre-revolutionary Cuba and ones that the Revolution fought hard to eliminate, have once again become key, overlapping issues. This panel will discuss the results of a two year long, German Research Council-funded, research project, including a unique, island-wide survey, which examined the role and impact of migration, remittances and citizenship, within the context of the island’s recent economic reforms, on Cuba’s growing racial inequalities. With: Katrin Hansing, Baruch College, CUNY Bert Hoffmann, German Institute of Global and Area Studies Odette Casamayor-Cisneros, University of Connecticut

The incredible escape from war’s atrocities and from nazi-fascism will spark the battle between tyranny and every man’s inviolable right. A one-man show that, through an individual story, paradigmatically symbolizes many Italians’ commitment to regain freedom. By and with Francesco Andolfi. Directed by Janice Orlandi.

Author Reading | Radical Doubt: The Joker System, After Boal
Mady Schutzman returns to discuss her recent book. Schutzman proposes an approach to community building based on joke logic, strange loops, trickster tactics, irony, and even chaos. The approach derives from the dynamics of the Joker System – a mode of collectively devising “plays” through the merger of journalistic rigor and performative ambiguity. Devoted to discovering non-polarizing and non-identity-driven modes of resistance, Schutzman moves far beyond the stage, finding analogous “systems” in fields of ethics, anthropology, mathematics, language studies, and speculative science.

Classical Music | From Wagner's Tristan und Isolde and more
The program of the concert explores the literary connection between tales of heartbreak and tales of the sea. In classical music, perhaps the most famous instance of this is Wagner's (1813-1883) Tristan und Isolde. Versatile soprano Ariadne Greif joins Momenta Quartet in the world premiere of Stephanie Griffin's chamber arrangement of the Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde, with additional works by Alba Potes, Carl Bettendorf, Guy Barash, and Stephanie Griffin. Momenta Quartet has premiered more than 150 works, collaborated with over 200 living composers and was praised by The New York Times for its “diligence, curiosity and excellence.” In the words of The New Yorker, “few American players assume Haydn’s idiom with such ease.”

Performance | Supposium 2018: Launching a Poethical Wager
Supposium 2014 took over (with permission) the Founders Room at MoMA for an afternoon of 1) thought experiments and 2) a procedural performance game. Published earlier this year by Litmus Press, Joan Retallack’s book The Supposium: Thought Experiments & Poethical Play in Difficult Times is part 3 of what has been a very 21st century, collaborative take on Socrates and pals–along with his surprise female mentor Diotima–considering the nature of love in Plato’s Symposium, circa 370 BCE. Those were difficult times too. Difficulty is the constant; well-deployed gravitas and humor, daringly composed interrogative essays (in any genre), paradigm-swerving wagers and, of course, the always reliable element of chance are key variables. This event is a celebratory, but also searching, sequence of poetic and other genre performances, screened images, brief musical interludes–all as wagers. Featuring an extraordinary convergence of Supposium participant-contributors, alphabetically: Adam Pendleton, Beverly Semmes, Charles Bernstein, erica kaufman, Evelyn Reilly, Fred Moten, James Sherry, Lauren Bakst, Omar Berrada, Simone White, and Tracy Grinnell.
