Discussion | Practical Philosophy Meetup in the Park


The goal of the Practical Philosophy Club is to create a community that is open to discussing ideas that can be used practically in everyday life. This group isn’t aligning necessarily with the specific scope that traditional "philosophy“ and "practical philosophy“ may have in the academic world. They don't have topics that are off-limits and look to discuss all sides of a topic in order to: 1. Help you understand your point of view, 2. Give you different perspectives, and 3. Realize that we all have some common ground and just because someone isn't on your "side" doesn't mean they are your enemy. They value communication, simplicity, balance, honesty, and discernment as values to live by, and look to build a community around these values. The typical meeting is about 10-15 minutes of banter to warm up before they move to introduce the weekly discussion topics. If the group is large they will split into separate groups so as to maintain a conversational tone within the discussions. With 15 minutes left, they bring all of the groups together and take a group photo and conclude.

Lecture | Dalit History is Poster History (online)


Shrujana N. Shridhar, a Mumbai-based artist and illustrator, and Christina Dhanuja, the co-founder of Dalit History Month, lead a presentation on the literary and political movements led by the Dalit Panthers. This conversation will delve into the Dalit Panther Archive’s digitized treasures—posters, magazines, and revolutionary poetry—and their transformative impact on Marathi literature. The Dalit Panthers and the Little Magazine movement challenged the entrenched norms of Marathi literary circles in the 1970s, by bravely confronting dominant caste perspectives that had long dictated the aesthetics, linguistics, and thematic directions of prose and poetry. They explored the radical reimagining of expression by dismantling oppressive gazes and ushering in an era of authentic voices and diverse narratives. This presentation will uncover the struggles and triumphs of visionary leaders, and the communities that enabled them to navigate India’s changing political and cultural landscape, leaving an indelible mark on the trajectory of anti-caste literature and creative expression. It offers a journey through time and ideology, with insights into the power of literature that challenges, provokes, and inspires change. It presents an opportunity to celebrate the legacy of those who dared to disrupt literary fiefdoms.

Discussion | Is This Me?: Films by Maryam Tafakory


A Q+A with filmmaker Maryam Tafakory to discuss her films Mast-del, Irani Bag, Nazarbazi, and Chaste/UnChaste.  Through collages of original and found footage, Tafakory's films reflect on identity and the censorship of intimacy and sexuality in post-Revolution Iran. Mast-del explores queer identity inside and outside of post-Revolution Iran through altered visuals, new and archival. Irani Bag is a video essay, focusing on the restriction of physical intimacy and demonstrating to its viewers "how to touch without touching." Nazarbazi tells a story of desire, control, and love in Iran through a collage of found footage. Chaste/UnChaste examines the limitations of labeling women's bodies as chaste/unchaste through depiction of Iranian women in film.

Lecture | Impact of Discrimination on Integration of Emigrants from an Aggressor Country: Evidence from a Panel Survey of Russian Migrants (in-person and online)


Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, up to one million Russians fled their homeland, marking the most significant brain drain since the Soviet Union’s collapse. While some host countries view the highly educated and politically active migrants as an asset, integrating nationals of the aggressor state has presented challenges. Many migrants face institutional restrictions aimed at sanctioning Russia, alongside varied experiences of discrimination from local populations. This study delves into the effect of discrimination on the assimilation intentions of Russian migrants, focusing on language learning as a key indicator. Laitin’s model of identity building suggests that migrants’ willingness to assimilate depends on the perceived benefits, including acceptance by the host society. Following the model, Sergeeva assumes that discrimination signals to migrants that the host country’s society does not accept them, making learning the local language a less rational choice. Utilizing a cross-sectional panel survey, the study establishes a link between discrimination and integration, differentiating between the effects of discrimination experienced from local citizens and local institutions on language acquisition. Findings reveal that societal discrimination significantly dampens migrants’ willingness to learn local languages and diminishes their trust in and attachment to host societies, unlike institutional discrimination, which shows no such effect on language learning. These insights contribute to an understanding of the impact of nationality-based discrimination, highlighting the role of societal acceptance in the successful integration of political migrants. Speaker Ivetta Sergeeva is a PhD candidate at the European University Institute in Florence.

Film | Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) with Rosanna Arquette and Madonna


New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass spices up her boring life by reading personal ads, especially a series of them being placed by a mysterious denizen of New York City named Susan. When one of Susan's ads proposes a rendezvous with her suitor at Battery Park, Roberta secretly tags along. But when her voyeuristic plan ends in permanent memory loss and a new jacket, Roberta begins to gather a lot of unwanted attention from some unsavory characters. Director: Susan Seidelman Cast: Rosanna Arquette, Aidan Quinn, Madonna, Robert Joy Rosanna Arquette is an American actress who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her performance in the TV film The Executioner's Song (1982) and won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for the film Desperately Seeking Susan (1985).

Book Discussion | The Caravaggio Syndrome: A Fusion of Historical, Queer, and Speculative Fiction (in-person and online)


In Alessandro Giardino's novel, Leyla is a headstrong Brooklyn-born art historian at a prestigious upstate New York college. When she meets feckless young computer technician Pablo at a party, she quickly becomes pregnant with his child. There's only one problem: she can't stand him. And one more problem: her student Michael wants Pablo for himself. Amid this love triangle, the objects of Leyla and Michael's study take on a life of their own. Trying to learn more about Caravaggio's masterpiece "The Seven Works of Mercy," they pore over the journal and prison writings of maverick 17th-century utopian philosopher Tommaso Campanella, which, as if by enchantment, transport them back four centuries to Naples. And while the past and present miraculously converge, Leyla, Michael, and Tommaso embark on a voyage of self-discovery in search of a new life. In this fusion of historical, queer, and speculative fiction, Alessandro Giardino combines the intellectual playfulness of Umberto Eco with the psychological finesse of Michael Cunningham. Alessandro Giardino is Chair & Associate Professor of Italian and Francophone Literature at Saint Lawrence University. Born in Naples, he studied at the University of Bologna, UC Berkeley, and McGill University. He has written extensively about Caravaggio's cultural circles, as well as Italian and French literature.

Concert | Juilliard Performers Highlight Climate Change


Performers from the Juilliard Green Club are thrilled to take the stage to present a multi-genre, immersive experience. They ask the audience to consider our collective futures, including differences of background, class, and geographical location, in the face of climate change. Artists have always looked either to the past or forward to an unknown future, often attempting to predict what awaits all of us with the knowledge that they have in their times. This need to consider our place and agency within the larger context we live in is one artists always struggle with; but today, it is something we all struggle with, as the choices necessary to guarantee a safe future are not in our hands. They will consider art that seeks out the past, present, and future of our Earth and its life so we can answer: how have artists considered their futures in the past, and what can we learn from them?

Book Discussion | Pink Gold: Shrimp, Women and Work in Mexico


An ethnography of women seafood traders in Mexico with the author, María L. Cruz-Torres.  The “shrimp ladies,” locally known as changueras in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, sell seafood in open-air markets, forming an extralegal but key part of the economy built around this “pink gold.” Over time, they struggled to evolve from marginalized peddlers to local icons depicted in popular culture, even as they continue to work at an open-air street market. Pink Gold documents the shrimp traders’ resilience and resourcefulness, from their early conflicts with the city, state, and federal authorities and forming a union, to carving out a physical space for a seafood market, and even engaging in conflicts with the Mexican military. Drawing from her two decades of fieldwork, Cruz-Torres explores the inspiring narrative of this overlooked group of women involving grassroots politics, trans-border and familial networking, debt and informal economic practices, personal sacrifices, and simple courage. She argues that, amid intense economic competition, their success relies on group solidarity that creates interlocking networks of mutual trust, or confianza, that in turn enable them to cross social and political boundaries that would typically be closed to them. Ultimately, Pink Gold offers fresh insights into issues of gender and labor, urban public space, the street economy, commodities, and globalization.

Discussion | Braving a New World: Audio Theater & the Climate Crisis


Every artform can open us up to our own ability to take meaningful action on the climate crisis. The New School and the Climate Museum are delighted to co-present a program examining and presenting audio theater dedicated to this end. Storytelling holds great power across human cultures, and so does the oral tradition. The increasing variety and availability of contemporary audio culture, including podcasts and audiobooks, has generated renewed interest in audio theater--not widely heard since the radio dramas of the early twentieth century. This event will share work from artists focused on climate justice who are redefining ‘sound art’ forms. The panel will be moderated by Cecilia Rubino and Sarah Montague (The New School) and include Darian Dauchan (Poet/Musician), Chantal Bilodeau (Arts & Climate Initiative), Lanxing Fu (Superhero Club/Big Green Theater), and Ben Williams (Elevator Repair Service).

Film | Citizens (1986): Poland’s Solidarity Movement


This film portrays human dimensions of Poland’s Solidarity movement in 1980-81 that were obscured by Cold-War rhetoric: the efforts of workers, artists and intellectuals who joined together to create a thriving civil society within a totalitarian state. Solidarity activists describe how they learned that to protect their own interests they had to fight for the interests of Polish society as a whole. Their self-governing trade union won the trust and support of virtually all segments of society by providing the only available channel for the local grass-roots initiatives, open debate, and democratic action that ultimately led to non-violent systemic change in Poland and beyond. Director: Richard W. Adams Followed by a discussion with the director

Book Discussion | Committed: On Meaning and Madwomen


Suzanne Scanlon's raw and masterful memoir about becoming a woman and going mad—and doing both at once.   When Suzanne Scanlon was a student at Barnard in the 90s, grieving the loss of her mother—feeling untethered and swimming through inarticulable pain—she made a suicide attempt that landed her in the New York State Psychiatric Institute.   After nearly three years and countless experimental treatments, Suzanne left the ward on shaky legs. In the decades it took her to recover from the experience, Suzanne came to understand her suffering as part of something larger: a long tradition of women whose complicated and compromised stories of self-actualization are reduced to “crazy chick” and “madwoman” narratives. It was a thrilling discovery, and she searched for more books, more woman writers, as the journey of her life converged with her journey through the literature that shaped her.   Transporting, honest, and graceful, Committed is a story of discovery and recovery, reclaiming the idea of the madwoman as a template for insight and transcendence through the works of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, Janet Frame, Audre Lorde, Shulamith Firestone, and others.

Discussion | US Climate Leadership: Equity and Justice in the Green Transition


Communities across the U.S. are taking community-driven climate action by updating their infrastructure to reduce emissions and make urban life safer, healthier, and greener for everyone. But equity advocates want to make sure that the process of “greening” America’s infrastructure prioritizes those who are most impacted by climate change and pollution. From updating electrical systems in dense residential areas, to ensuring that communities of color are prepared for the boom in climate-related careers, advocates are working toward building cities in which everyone can thrive.  This is a discussion about equity, infrastructure, jobs, and the urban energy transition. Featuring the “father of environmental justice,” Dr. Robert Bullard (Texas Southern University, Bullard Center for Environmental & Climate Justice), Jade Begay (Indigenous Rights Advocate and Climate Researcher) and Leah Thomas (Intersectional Environmentalist), we’ll dig into the issues, opportunities, and solutions driving an equitable transformation for America.

Book Discussion | Forgotten War: The British Empire and Commonwealth’s Epic Struggle Against Imperial Japan, 1941–1945 (online)


The monumental struggle fought against Imperial Japan in the Asia/Pacific theater during World War II is primarily viewed as an American affair. While the United States did play a dominant role, the British and Commonwealth forces also made major contributions—on land, at sea and in the air, eventually involving over a million men and vast armadas of ships and aircraft. It was a difficult and often desperate conflict fought against a skilled and ruthless enemy that initially saw the British suffer the worst series of defeats ever to befall their armed forces. Still, the British persevered and slowly turned the tables on their Japanese antagonists. Fighting over an immense area that stretched from India in the west to the Solomon Islands in the east and Australia in the south to the waters off Japan in the north, British and Commonwealth forces eventually scored a string of stirring victories that avenged their earlier defeats and helped facilitate the demise of the Japanese Empire.

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.

Book Discussion | Jamie Wyeth: Unsettled


A major monograph of the American realist artist, descendant of one of America's most revered artistic families, and painter of dark and uneasy subjects. This book traces a persistent vein of intriguing, often disconcerting, imagery over the career of renowned artist Jamie Wyeth (b. 1946), famous for his hyperrealist paintings of farm animals and Maine lighthouses. The focus in this volume is on the chilling thread that runs through his work, present but not overwhelming, and ever-evolving with his style and subjects. Whether he is introducing curious characters or surveying strange landscapes, Wyeth is at home with uneasy subjects and a master of the unsettled mood.

Book Discussion | Life Underground: Encounters with People Below the Streets of New York


Beneath the surface of Manhattan’s Riverside Park run railroad tunnels, disused for decades, where over the years unhoused people have taken shelter. The sociologist Terry Williams ventured into the tunnel residents’ world, seeking to understand life on the margins and out of sight. He visited the tunnels between West Seventy- Second and West Ninety-Sixth Streets hundreds of times from 1991 to 1996, when authorities cleared them out to make way for Amtrak passenger service, and again between 2000 and 2020. Williams' lastest book charts a dispossessed space of New York City. The story he tells is not only about the specific people living in this  underground but about those living a shelterless life in the city. Every person underground is linked within a web of overlapping social worlds, above and below the ground. By delineating these social networks, Life Underground, through distinctive ethnographic eye and deep empathy, Williams provides an understanding of what life under below the surface entails.

Book Discussion | The Sociology of Literature: The World Surrounding the Words


Gisèle Sapiro, the leading theorist of the sociology of literature, will present her book on the history, methods, and potential futures of this growing field of study, which finds its origins in the French Enlightenment, and its most salient expression as a sociological pursuit in the work of Pierre Bourdieu. Sapiro refutes the common criticism that the sociology of literature does not take the text to be the central object of study. Sapiro describes methods for analyzing the roles and behaviors of agents and institutions (publishing houses, prize committees, etc.) in the circulation and reception of texts. The book emphasizes the rich interdisciplinary nature of the approach, which draws on literary history, sociology, postcolonial studies, book history, gender studies, and media studies, while also defending the sociology of literature as a discipline in its own right.

Discussion | Tall Timber: Bicoastal Beginnings and Where are We Now? (in-person and online)


The program features architects Thomas Robinson of Portland, Oregon-based LEVER Architecture and Chris Sharples of SHoP in New York City to discuss their first Mass Timber high-rise designs and to link those beginnings to their current work. In 2015, Robinson and SHoP were the co-winners of the U.S. Tall Wood Building Prize, a government-sponsored competition directed at stimulating innovation in high-rise applications in Mass Timber construction. While neither Framework – LEVER’s proposal for a 12-story, mixed-use building – nor 475 W. 18 St., SHoP’s design for a 10-story Manhattan apartment building near the High Line, were ultimately built, the projects advanced the goals of establishing fire, seismic, and other testing to apply to later projects. Over the past decade, LEVER and SHoP have continued to explore Mass Timber. On the West Coast, LEVER is completing several large-scale commissions, including the Adidas Headquarters Expansion in Portland, Oregon, and a creative office complex in L.A., 843 N Spring Street, as well as the addition to the Portland (Maine) Museum of Art. SHoP’s portfolio in wood includes two tech headquarters across continents, the new headquarters for YouTube in San Bruno, California and the award-winning Atlassian Central in Sydney, Australia. A 42-story Mass Timber, steel, and concrete tower, Atlassian Central will become the world’s tallest hybrid Mass Timber building upon completion in 2027.

Book Discussion | 2 New Books on Biology


Two brilliant writers have a conversation on scientific history and the origins of life. Janina Wellmann's Biological Motion: A History of Life is a captivating exploration of the changing definitions of life in biology, studying the foundational relationship between motion and life. To answer the question "what is life?", prize-winning historian of science Janina Wellmann engages in a transdisciplinary investigation of motion as the most profound definition of living existence. Caroline Arni's Of Human Born: Fetal Lives, 1800-1950 is a new history of the concept of fetal life in the human sciences. At a time when the becoming of a human being in a woman's body has, once again, become a fraught issue--from abortion debates and surrogacy controversies to prenatal diagnoses and assessments of fetal risk--Of Human Born presents the largely unknown history of how the human sciences came to imagine the unborn in terms of "life before birth."

Slide Lecture | Robert Nickelsberg: Residents of Greenpoint


Since the middle of the 19th century, Greenpoint has been a migration hub of New York City. Then, in the 1970's, the neighborhood saw a big influx of Polish migrants seeking a better life in America. The immigration to Greenpoint resulted in the creation of Little Poland, with Polish shops, cultural centers, and financial institutions. Despite demographic changes, until now, Greenpoint remains a symbol of Polish immigration to the United States. Currently, there are 170,000 residents of Polish heritage engaged in all spheres of New York's daily life -- they are your neighbors, policemen physicians, or your child colleagues. The residents still living in Greenpoint were photographed by Robert Nickelsberg between 2020 and 2023. Robert Nickelsberg worked as a Time Magazine contract photographer for nearly thirty years, specializing in political and cultural change in developing countries. He was named the 2013 Winner of the Overseas Press Club's Olivier Rebbot Award. His photographs have been exhibited in various cities around the USA and the world. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Harmony Holiday, Ben Ratliff, Raoul Roach, and Melanie Charles in a reimagining of the groundbreaking 1964 panel discussion in Playboy Magazine, "The Playboy Panel: Jazz--Today and Tomorrow," in its then annual "Jazz and Hi-Fi Issue." The roundtable brought together Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, George Russell, Ralph Gleason, Stan Kenton, and other significant contributors to the tradition of jazz to reflect on the future of the genre at that moment, asking questions like, "How does an expanding and ever more technically proficient musician pool grapple with unfavorable economics and insufficient exposure?" and "Does the term "jazz" even apply to the many styles that it is used to describe?"

Discussion | Six Futures of Russia--Why We Need History (In Person AND Online!)


Several weeks after Vladimir Putin turned 71, the Russian Federation president announced his intention to stand for a fifth term in elections that took place in March of this year. Putin's predetermined victory will keep him in office until 2030, when he will be 78. But "self-styled tsars," as historian Stephen Kotkin writes, face an acute succession crisis. Unable to rely on heirs through blood and compelled to simulate elections, Putin's personalistic autocracy and, more broadly, Russia, face serious questions about the future. Stephen Kotkin examines the uncertain times ahead, and the ways in which our understandings of the past can help us see potential paths forward. The program will open with a short talk by Bogdan Horbal, the curator for Slavic and East European collections.

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 | To Sir, With Love (1967) with Sidney Poitier


Engineer Mark Thackeray arrives to teach a totally undisciplined class of white high school students at an East End school. Still hoping for a good engineering job, he's hopeful that he won't be there long. He starts implementing his own brand of classroom discipline: forcing the pupils to treat each other with respect. Inevitably he begins getting involved in the students' personal lives, and must avoid the advances of an amorous student while winning over the class tough. What will he decide when the engineering job comes through? Director: James Clavell Cast: Sidney Poitier, Judy Geeson, Christian Roberts, Suzy Kendall, Faith Brook Sidney Poitier was a Bahamian and American actor, film director, and diplomat. In 1964, he was the first black actor and first Bahamian to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. He received two competitive Golden Globe Awards and a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album. Poitier was one of the last major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood cinema.

Lecture | The Smartness Mandate: Neo-liberalism, AI, & Politics


This talk interrogates the history of models of decision-making and agency in machine learning, neo-liberal economic thought, and finance in order to understand how reactionary politics , civil rights, and technology are being reformulated in our present. While the relationship between the Right, post-truth, suggestion algorithms, and social media has long been documented, rarely there has been extensive investigation of how ideas of choice and freedom become recast in a manner amenable to machine automation, financialization, and to particular brands of post-1970s alt-right discourses. An analysis of this history demonstrates a new logic within algorithmic and artificial intelligent rationalities that intersects with, but is also not merely a repetition of, earlier histories of reason, eugenics, sexism, and racism. This situation provokes serious challenges to political action, but also to our theorization of democracy, collectivity, and diversity. Speaker Orit Halpern is Full Professor and Chair of Digital Cultures at Technische Universität Dresden.

Conference | No End of History: Crooked Circle of Democracy and Authoritarianism


On April 25th 1974, after years of a brutal decolonization war, a group of left-wing officials of the Portuguese Army started a rebellion that caused the downfall of the Portuguese colonial and authoritarian regime. The Carnation revolution, as this rebellion is known today, inaugurated what has been described as the third democratization wave. This was followed by the collapse of military juntas, the end of authoritarian governments, and the fall of communist and apartheid regimes across Southern and Eastern Europe, Latin America, East Asia, and Southern Africa. This third wave, between 1974 and 2000, further cemented the idea of liberal democracies and multiculturalism as a predetermined destination for all modern societies. However, the last 25 years of resurgence of populist leaders, far right movements, ethno-nationalist parties, and anti-minority violence, challenged the wishful thinking of those that considered the democratizing effects of the wave permanent.  The conference will engage with the legacies of the third democratization wave and the new authoritarian turn across the globe.

Marilyn Banner CONNECTIONS / Lost and Found Banner's modestly scaled, delicately drawn images and small-scale objects evoke a range of possible and imagined connections. Diaristic drawings and objects hint at presence and connections, aloneness and relationships, things and people, experiences lost and found. Banner’s materials are modest: for the drawings, raw canvas, drawing pens and markers, inks, wax and conte crayons; for the objects, wood chips, bones, and teeth covered with encaustic. Their diminutive size requires close inspection. Mysterious and suggestive, Marilyn Banner’s work evokes closeness, a solitary stance, a distant memory, or a threat. Intimate in nature, her pieces invite the viewer into a quiet world. Elizabeth Myers Castonguay Tapestry of Nature III / Endangered Castonguay has spent a lifetime observing, researching, and making artwork about her passions: human diversity and the preservation of Mother Nature. Something as small as a fruit fly, a human head, or a magnificent winter landscape seen from the train as she travels between her studios in Pittsburgh and NYC can inspire a large painting. She finds joy in learning that the tiny eyelashes on some birds are modified feathers, the fruit fly has many body parts like our own, the bird’s nest in her yard holds fast in winds though porch furniture is in flight, and the shape of the human nose provides climate control and has adapted over generations.  Tania Kravath CONNECTION and LOSS The ceramic sculptures by Tania Kravath, slab built forms, are moving, full of heart and spirit and speak for the voices of women and children throughout history. Kravath’s work is tied to political and social narratives. The marks and patterns of her surfaces suggest the arbitrary events that affect and mark each being. The surface treatments evoke a feeling of ancient artifacts unearthed yet they resonate with life and are alive with feeling.

Opening Reception | individualactivist: 21 Faces


The debut solo show of NYC-based artist individualactivist, the exhibit is about finding resilience in tragedy. 21 Faces came to life in the wake of Uvalde, when individualactivist felt compelled to call attention to the heart wrenching reality the nation’s children bear a constant burden of fear. Featuring 21 original works on canvas depicting vibrant, beautiful children, the artist carefully illustrates how the epidemic of school violence does not see color, age or gender. Underlying the works is the discussion point: are Americans brave enough to make the changes necessary to cure this epidemic? While the subject matter is heavy, the faces are warm and bright as the artist calls upon the audience to focus on the children and celebrate the promise of their future.

Opening Reception | Joanne Greenbaum: Scaffold


From the artist: "My work always has an underlying structure, and the paintings in particular consist of a scaffold system.I’ve long been attracted to a fictional structure – one that doesn’t necessarily correspond with architecture. It’s a way to “hang” a painting onto something. But in addition to the scaffolding, there is also an idea that is more metaphysical and emotional. I think in this body of work I am relying less on pictorial devices and more on energy and movement. The scaffold is a kind of place to put all these ideas together in a way that allows me to indulge my love of form and color together with a physical presence."

Opening Reception | Julia Bland: Rivers on the Inside


New textile and painting-based works by Julia Bland. Employing hand weaving, dying, embroidery, oil paint, braiding, and personal fabrics, Bland builds the architecture of her compositions through an intuitive process of assembly, de-assembly, gathering, and sorting. Rivers on the Inside presents monumental, wall-based works that trace her experiences through the first years of motherhood. For example, Helper, a joyful reflection of her daughter’s small hands, includes areas woven on the loom and dyed, then rewoven by hand off the loom. Personal fabrics such as her family’s clothes and bed sheets are braided together with traditional art materials such as canvas and linen. The braids are dyed and stitched together across the surface, forming boundaries and also crossing them, conjuring an abstract fluidity between art and life.

Film | Merchant of Four Seasons (1972): German drama directed by Rainer Fassbinder


Hans is a lifelong member of the middle-class. His family, especially his wife, Irmgard, derides him for his lack of ambition and his chosen profession: running a fruit stand. Eventually, the constant ridicule drives him to alcoholism, and his bout with the bottle lands him in the hospital. While recovering, he hires extra help and watches his business boom. However, his success doesn't alleviate his pain, and his anger and drinking slowly destroy him. Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Cast: Hans Hirschmuller, Irm Hermann, Hanna Schygulla, Klaus Lowitsch Rainer Werner Fassbinder was a German filmmaker, actor, and dramatist. He is widely regarded as one of the major figures and catalysts of the New German Cinema movement. Versatile and prolific, his over 40 films span a variety of genres, most frequently blending elements of Hollywood melodrama with social criticism and avant-garde techniques. His films, according to him, explored "the exploitability of feelings." His work was deeply rooted in post-war German culture: the aftermath of Nazism, the German economic miracle, and the terror of the Red Army Faction. He worked with a company of actors and technicians who frequently appeared in his projects.

Opening Reception | Tiptoeing Through the Kitchen, Recent Photography


An exhibition of new and recent work by seven artists: William Eric Brown, Sophia Chai, Kevin Landers, Brittany Nelson, Shaun Pierson, Gonzalo Reyes Rodriguez, and Sheida Soleimani. Materialized in varying ways, kinship and cultural inheritance are frequent touchstones for many of these artists. William Eric Brown’s works — the source images for which were taken in Antarctica in the 1960s by the artist’s father while serving in the US Navy and stationed on an icebreaker — are instilled with new significance through his manipulation and reconceptualization, which address the current reality of climate change and its effects on the arctic. Sophia Chai explores her memory of learning the Korean alphabet as a child through her work. By drawing and painting the shapes and lines of the characters on the walls and floor of her studio, Chai reimagines them in space, thereby abstracting written communication into an embodiment of the sensation of each word being formed inside the mouth.

Discussion | Syncretism and Sustainability


Sites of Impermanence artists Sanford Biggers, Willie Cole, and Mel Kendrick will participate in a moderated discussion about formal innovation through the use and reuse of materials, hybridity, and the melding of different traditions of making. The discussion is presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Rail, and moderated by William Corwin. In ancient Greek, the term synkrētismos meant a “union of communities,” specifically to oppose a common enemy. Only in the seventeenth century was the word Anglicized to mean “the union of different religious beliefs.” This term now filled an emerging descriptive need for a process of cultural diffusion and hybridity that emerged through colonization. The artists will discuss how syncretism, with its fraught history, relates to their sculptural practices, and how looking back to move forward informs their work.

Discussion | Artist Talk: Shorter Than This Day


This exchange between artist Sarah Sze and writer Teju Cole will celebrate Sze’s ambitious site-specific Public Art Fund sculpture Shorter Than The Day, now permanently on view at LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B. Commissioned in 2020 with LaGuardia Gateway Partners, Sze’s work evokes the passage of time through an intricate constellation of photographs. Hundreds of images form a mirage-like sphere that appears to float in midair. Each photograph is a snapshot of the sky above New York City taken over the course of one day. In her conversation, Sze will discuss the process behind this project and, alongside Cole, explore how their artistic practices capture non-linear experiences of time and the urban environment.

Conference | Digital Platform Economies – Value from Data?


A host of studies demonstrate the perils of digital platforms and automated systems: algorithmic bias, algorithmic harm, data privacy, and deep fakes. What is less clear are the myriad ways that digital platforms structure economic/financial relations and transactions in the first place. Understanding processes of data valuation is a crucial aspect of broader inquiries into the promises and perils of digital platforms. This 2-day conference showcases programmatic research on data valuation. Each session considers the question: How do platforms produce value and monetize those value forms? The sessions are designed to stimulate discussion about value forms and valuation processes through particular lenses: digital assets, Web3 tokenization, digital twins, automated optimization, and generative AI. The discussions will consider the extent to which standard concepts (rent, commodity, property, accumulation) are relevant to these cases and examine continuities and discontinuities across different modes of digital value production.

A wide-ranging conversation between pioneering Tibetan sociologist Dr. Gyal Lo and Professor Robert Thurman, moderated by acclaimed activist Lhadon Tethong. The event will launch Dr. Gyal Lo's groundbreaking book on the life of the Sixth Gung Thang Rinpoche, and conversations will revolve around Rinpoche's monumental contributions to Tibetan culture, literature, and identity. Gung Thang Rinpoche was one of the most influential Tibetan scholars of the last century, and Dr. Gyal Lo had a front row view of how Rinpoche survived the tumultuous events of the Cultural Revolution and played a pivotal role in reviving Tibetan language and culture in the 1980s.

Book Discussion | The End of Family Court: How Abolishing the Court Brings Justice to Children and Families


At the turn of the twentieth century, American social reformers created the first juvenile court. They imagined a therapeutic court where informality, specially trained public servants, and a kindly, all-knowing judge would assist children and families. But the dream of a benevolent means of judicial problem-solving was never realized. A century later, children and families continue to be failed by this deeply flawed court. The End of Family Court rejects the foundational premise that family court can do good when intervening in family life and challenges its endless reinvention to survive. Jane M. Spinak illustrates how the procedures and policies of modern family court are deeply entwined in a heritage of racism, a profound disdain for poverty, and assimilationist norms intent on fixing children and families who are different. And the court’s interventionist goals remain steeped in an approach to equity and well-being that demands individual rather than collective responsibility for the security and welfare of families.

Gallery Talk | Francesca Woodman: Exhibition Tour


The exhibition presents key prints from approximately 1975 through 1980. Photographing in Providence, Rhode Island; Rome; Ravenna, Italy; and New York, Woodman situated herself and others within dilapidated interiors and ancient architecture to compose her tableaux. Using objects such as chairs and plinths along with architectural elements including doorways, walls, and windows, she staged contrasts with the performative presence of the figures, presenting the body itself as sculpture. In the Self-Deceit series (1978), she photographed herself nude in a room with crumbling walls, standing, crawling, or crouching with a frameless mirror. Through compositional fragmentation and blurring, Woodman throws into question the conceit that photography offers a revelation of the self.

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.

Play | Ivera: Meditations from a Coma


A love letter to Puerto Rican womanhood and a condemnation of medical racism. After Ivera falls into a coma due to doctors’ negligence during the birth of her first child, she grapples with not only the impending loss of herself, but the decay of everyone around her. From her hospital room, she relives her happiest moments, and comes face-to-face with her saddest ones. As the veil between worlds begins to lift, Ivera, caught somewhere in-between, soon realizes her perfect, vibrant, passionate life wasn’t as beautiful as she always thought it was. Written by Antonia Cruz-Kent. A student production.

Lecture | American (Slavery) Caste, not Race


Lionel McPherson argues that the permanent, stark social disadvantage of Black America is best understood as a caste phenomenon, as in a fixed, color-conscious, social status hierarchy. Caste analysis of American color consciousness calls attention to the intergenerational nature and national specificity of the Black American situation, rooted in American inherited slavery and enforced segregation. Race analysis, by contrast, traffics in flat blackness, turning Africa-identified descendants of American slavery (capital “B” Black Americans) from a distinctive national people, neither native nor immigrant, into a vague racially “black” people. What McPherson calls “race intrigue” principally functions as a distraction—from the subjugation, exploitation, and nonrepair of the historical American “Slaves”/“black” caste—by (mis)directing focus from Black (American) equality politics to some tepid antiracism, or general anti-antiblack racism, agenda.

Opening Reception | Calvin Kim: Soft Pangs


Through enigmatic paintings, Calvin Kim seeks to preserve and prolong the unfolding of dreamlike, intimate moments. Alone or in pairs, Kim’s subjects are depicted amid contemplative, emotional states. Birds huddle close together while perched on a branch, blue figures chain smoke as the silhouette of a house burns in the distance, or a cat struggles with a foe– that might be just a shadow of itself.  Absurdity, humor, and lightness reappear throughout Kim’s works, offsetting themes of melancholy and vulnerability– as in one portrait of a moth, shown with its mouth agape and eyes watering as it is about to be “raptured” by a pair of rapidly approaching headlights. Despite the impending danger, an atmosphere of magic suffuses the scene–from the warm, shimmering glow of the headlamps, to a cluster of wildflowers blooming from the darkness– indicative of nature’s continuous cycles of birth, death, and renewal.  Like peering through a window to catch a glimpse of someone else’s dream, the works transmit psychological undercurrents through form, color, light, and texture, conveying the mood of an experience rather than mere description. Ghostly traces of pentimenti heighten this effect, while scumbling lighter or brighter colors over contrasting tones adds tooth and dimensionality to the canvases, building a layered, dynamic surface that reflects the complex nature of memory itself. Light is reflected through clouds, mist, fog, and exhaled breath, ephemeral phenomena that underscore the precarity of life. Inhabiting the slippery boundary between slumber and waking, tragedy and humor, sorrow and hope, these pictures speak to the intrinsic poetry of fleeting moments.

Opening Reception | Trish Tillman: Grooming Kit


Tillman continues her interest in the intersection of the body, design, and furnishings, with her meticulously crafted modular wall sculptures. Using digital and industrial sewing and upholstery techniques, and hand-drawn patterns printed on leather, she expands her exploration of commercial materials and adds more personal references prevalent during her youth, from cartoons to toys and keychains. In Tillman’s latest series, disjointed body parts that could easily switch from breast to bum merge with iconic symbols of sweet innocence - from strawberries to unicorns - in a shorthand symbolic language akin to emoji or stickers.

Talk | Artist Talk: Poster Cult (in-person and online)


As one of Switzerland’s foremost poster designers, Dafi Kühne produces diverse work that plays with the contrast between old production tools and modern layouts. While printed on traditional presses from the 1960s, his posters do not look like typical letterpress prints. Instead, they connect to the history of letterpress production while pushing the boundaries through modern tools of what is possible. Through the use of of analog printing presses, computers, lasercutters, and freshly cast hot-metal-type, he creates wildly creative, large-format posters. From his vast letterpress studio in the Swiss Alps, Dafi Kühne simultaneously drives poster culture and upholds the cult of the poster. In this talk, Dafi will give insight into his processes and his approach to Swiss typographic poster design.

Book Discussion | Duel in the Deep: The Hunters, the Hunted, and a High Seas Fight to the Finish (online)


Author David Sears will speak on his book. Duel in the Deep recounts the story of the U.S. Navy destroyer Borie, an outmoded, thin-skinned “tin can” of World War I vintage, which set out alone to track down an elusive U-boat. The Borie had thus far toiled in the war’s backwaters, her crew of young reservists anxious to prove its mettle. When Borie trapped U-405 on the surface, that chance arrived. As Borie’s deck guns unleashed withering fire and U-405’s skipper angled his submarine to launch torpedoes, Borie’s young skipper—a salesman in civilian life--resorted to the original (and once the only) means of sinking a submarine: ramming, full speed ahead, consequences be damned. Borie’s slashing collision with U-405 ignited a swashbuckling, no-holds-barred brawl of cannons, machine guns, small arms, and even knives and spent shell casings. In the wreckage-strewn aftermath, desperate sailors on both sides fought for survival in a heaving, frigid, unforgiving sea. Duel in the Deep weaves together high-stakes strategy and lethal gamesmanship with poignant human backstories, pounding air/surface/subsurface action, epic heroism, and wrenching sacrifice.

Conference | Language: What Is It Good For?


Successful communication can result in human flourishing and cooperation, while  misunderstanding proliferates suffering. Words do not have stable, precise definitions, but “have those meanings which we have given them,” as Wittgenstein notes—new with each interpretational circumstance. Subjective and cultural forces shape the way we interpret signs, which makes our daily connection through language profound. Yet the human capacity to animate signs, by imbuing sound (and movement) with sense, remains beyond scientific understanding. Language is both one of the most fundamental elements of the human experience and one of the least understood, illustrating the need for a creative reexamination of the human language faculty.  This interdisciplinary conference will share innovative thoughts about language use and linguistic communication. This one-day conference is inspired by the twin observations that opportunities designed specifically to initiate cross-disciplinary collaborations are rare, and that graduate students are ideally poised to take advantage of such opportunities to generate influential new insights and frameworks. The conference will feature talks and poster presentations in the morning and early afternoon. In the late afternoon, speakers will participate in identifying persistent questions and themes emerging from the presentations, as well as potentials for targeted collaborations.

Conference | (Anti-)Colonialisms and its Afterlives: Renewing and Rethinking the Debate


According to some scholars, the various traditions of criticizing colonial modernity in the human sciences (rather than literary criticism)—postcolonial, decolonial, settler colonial, and anti-imperial, are now spent. Some disagree. Certain approaches and themes associated with these fields, to be sure, have been rendered anachronistic by ongoing socio-political transformations that have taken place within and across the countries of the peripheral fringe and the metropolitan core (including neoliberal globalization, mass migration, the proliferation of ethno-racial enclaves and camps for stateless peoples, the spread of populism) have blurred the boundaries between them; others have been ossified by intra-disciplinary academic debates and still others by ideologically monistic perspectives.  Without ignoring or belittling the criticisms that have been leveled against these counter-colonial traditions by critics and sympathizers alike, this conference seeks to rethink and renew them by having them engage with and transform each other’s understanding of the current and untimely aspects of the receding present.

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.

Poetry Reading | 2 Poets Read Their Work


A special reading of poems by Cecilia Vicuña and Jena Osman, on the occasion of the NY Art Book Fair and the release of the new, expanded facsimile edition of Vicuña’s Saborami from Book Works. Vicuña created Saborami in the aftermath of the September 1973 military coup in Chile. Combining poetry, journal entries and documentation of artworks, the book was published in Devon, England in a limited edition of hand-made copies by the artist-led Beau Geste Press. Though the book is highly regarded, it has also been hard to access. This new and expanded facsimile edition restates ‘Saborami’ as a central example of artistic engagement in material and revolutionary resistance. Jena Osman's latest book is A Very Large Array: Selected Poems’ published by Adam Pendleton's DABA Books this past fall. She co-edited the journal ‘Chain’ for 12 years with Juliana Spahr, after which they edited ChainLinks Books. In 2011, ChainLinks published a reproduction of Cecilia Vicuna's ‘Saborami.’ Osman lives in Philadelphia where she teaches in the MFA Creative Writing Program at Temple University.

Dance Lesson | Around the Way Gurl: The Block Party


Artist Cheri L. Stokes engages autoethnography and personal narrative to inspire movement and text. Her new work-in-progress, “Around the Way Gurl” explores the intersections of gender, intergenerational movement aesthetics, innate movement patterns, generational and community values, and Hip-Hop culture influence the artist's identity and the women from Bed-Stuy in the 1980s and 90s. “The Block Party” serves as a means of research in the development of Cheri’s work, “Around the Way Gurl.” For The Block Party, Cheri will lead audiences in a multigenerational community dance workshop. Like the block parties of the 80s and 90s, participants can expect dance, music and fellowship in a casual but upbeat atmosphere. Take a trip down memory lane, wear your best styles from the decades, and come ready to move and have a good time. ALL generations and families are welcome. No dance experience needed.

Performance | Oliver Beer: Resonance Paintings – Cat Orchestra: Performance Art


On the occasion of Resonance Paintings – Cat Orchestra, Oliver Beer's second solo show with the gallery, the artist, together with Holland Andrews, will be performing the Cat Orchestra on the last day of the exhibition. Everything sings, and in the beginning, a song was everything: the Word, the Om, a bang that echoes still today. The word you use for it may depend on your belief system. What’s certain, however, is that the universe is a symphony of cosmic vibrations, from the first murmurs of an infant’s heartbeat to the thunderous death of stars. Oliver Beer’s work shows us that if we listen carefully, we can hear them. He’s been listening for as long as he can remember, since the days he would modulate his own voice to match the harmonic pitch of his childhood bedroom. Every room – indeed, every vessel – has such a note, known as a Helmholtz resonance, and for several years the artist, who trained as a musician before studying fine art at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford, has been trying to tune them. For “Cat Orchestra,” Beer has tuned an entire band. A chorus of cat-shaped vases, ranging from the classical to the kitsch, are connected to live microphones that feed to a custom-built keyboard and synthesizer. Each key, when played, activates the microphone in the vessel whose resonance corresponds to that note, so that a fin-de-siecle French absinthe pitcher in the form of a cat playing a mandolin sings an F sharp, and a Japanese Maneki-neko sings a D. With this, Beer has achieved the dream of Athanasius Kircher, the 17th century occult philosopher who first imagined the cat organ, or “Katzenklavier.” That hypothetical instrument corralled a group of live cats inside a piano, arranged by voice pitch, so that when keys struck their tails, they would cry out in pain. Beer’s real version is far kinder to animals and far more revealing of the sounds we hold within ourselves.

Play | Ivera: Meditations from a Coma


A love letter to Puerto Rican womanhood and a condemnation of medical racism. After Ivera falls into a coma due to doctors’ negligence during the birth of her first child, she grapples with not only the impending loss of herself, but the decay of everyone around her. From her hospital room, she relives her happiest moments, and comes face-to-face with her saddest ones. As the veil between worlds begins to lift, Ivera, caught somewhere in-between, soon realizes her perfect, vibrant, passionate life wasn’t as beautiful as she always thought it was. Written by Antonia Cruz-Kent. A student production.

Opening Reception | Xingzi Gu: Pure Heart Hall


It was believed in the 17th century that emotion—love, in particular—quite literally warmed the heart, which then produced water vapor to cool itself down, which would then travel to the eyes and expel as tears. In their breathy dreamscapes and pools of silky jewel tones tinged with murky stains, Xingzi Gu’s paintings materialize a soft, psychically charged atmosphere in which emotional experience is also physical, akin to “heart vapor.” The misty sensibility that wells up in Pure Heart Hall, as it does so much of our lives as a source of grief, ultimately lends itself to what the artist describes as a self-generated belief system—one comprised of magically elusive properties of connection and the deeply felt alchemy of relationships that meet us where we are. Here, lightly summarized figures with unfinished limbs and wispy expressions slip in and out of odd moments of gathering and solitude, cuddling and masturbating, disassociating yet substantially present. Through their ethereal motifs of veiling and blurring, Gu obscures clarity of vision like eyes brimming with liquid, smearing distress into love into heartbreak into belonging into free-fall.
