The story spans three decades of Soviet history and documents Rubin's successful attempts to confront the regime with paints and brushes. Introduced by the directors Eugene Tsymbal and Aleksandr Smoljanski and followed with a discussion moderated by Mark Lipovetsky and Daria Ezerova, with Olena Martynyuk. 90 minutes

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.

Discussion | Propaganda Politics and LGBTIQ in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian Conflict
In 2013, the Russian State Duma passed a law banning the "propaganda" of "nontraditional" sexual relations to minors. This created an atmosphere of impunity, with spikes in homophobic crimes and "huntings" of LGBTIQ people all over Russia. The following year, revolution broke out in Ukraine and Russian television networks presented it as a fascist, Western-sponsored, gay conspiracy. Throughout the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia's strategy has continued to include anti-LGBTIQ messaging both at home and in Ukraine. How has Russian propaganda during the conflict influenced queer politics? Is there any chance that, with Ukraine's new government and the recent protests in Russia, LGBTIQ issues will gain traction? This is a panel discussion with Yelena Goltsman, founder/co-president, RUSA LGBT, and Bogdan Globa, founder/president, QUA - LGBTQ Ukrainians in America. Moderated by Masha Udensiva-Brenner.

Author Reading | Hate: The Rising Tide of Anti-Semitism in France (and What it Means for Us)
What is the connection between a rise in the number of random attacks against Jews on the streets of France and strategically planned terrorist acts targeting the French population at large? Before the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan night club, and others made international headlines, Marc Weitzmann had noticed a surge of seemingly random acts of violence against the Jews of France. His new book proposes that both the small-scale and large-scale acts of violence have their roots in not one, but two very specific forms of populism: an extreme and violent ethos of hate spread among the Muslim post-colonial suburban developments on the one hand, and the deeply-rooted French ultra-conservatism of the far right. Weitzmann's on-the-ground reporting is woven throughout with the history surrounding the legacies of the French Revolution, the Holocaust, and Gaullist "Arab-French policy."

Lecture | Useful Pictures
This lecture traces questions of representation in architectural drawings, arguing from a philosophical perspective that architectural drawings are pictorial mediums, rather than epistolary or diagrammatic tools. Perspective views of buildings are generally regarded as pictures, but working drawings, plans and sections are not: they are considered to be diagrammatic, “conventional” representations. I believe this is wrong and that all architectural drawings are pictures. They employ special conventions, for sure, but the key point is that they show what something looks like, and that is what pictures do. Speaker Richard Hill studied at Cambridge University.

Poetry Reading | The Revisionist and The Astropastorals: Collected Poems
Douglas Crase is best known for his invocations of the American landscape and Transcendental tradition. Out of print since 1987, The Revisionist has been enough in some opinions to establish him as one of the most important poets of his generation. Its influence persists, says The Oxford Book of American Poetry, as a “formidable underground reputation.” By combining that book with Crase’s recent chapbook, The Astropastorals, Nightboat Books brings Crase’s underground reputation to a wider audience for the first time in thirty-two years.

For this lecture, she will share and articulate some of her work in order to address the essential questions that her practice investigates: the politics of memory of anti-colonial struggles and international solidarity; forced illegal migrations in relation to imperial and colonial continuums; egalitarian forms of citizenship as opposed to the nation-state model of citizenry; and language, dialects, speech acts and agency.

Author Reading | The Hello Girls: America’s First Women Soldiers
Elizabeth Cobbs tells the story of how America’s first women soldiers helped win World War 1…and then were forced to battle the U.S. Army. In 1918, 223 AT&T switchboard operators enlisted and were sent to France, where they ran communications while risking enemy fire and enduring an uneasy truce with male soldiers. After the war they were unexpectedly denied veteran status—and thus began a sixty-year fight for recognition. Evening includes a performance of a pivotal song from The Hello Girls musical, based on the book.
