Book Discussion | Scholar Shares Her New Book, Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels: A European Literary History


Attend a talk by Hilde Hoogenboom (Associate Professor in the School of International Letters and Cultures at Arizona State University) on her new book, Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels: A European Literary History. Moderated by Irina Reyfman. Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels rewrites the history of nineteenth-century Russian novels. Hilde Hoogenboom examines how Russians created a new literature against substantial odds: 90 per cent of novels published in Russia through the 1850s were foreign. Using data from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century catalogues, Hoogenboom visualizes readers' large appetite for translated sentimental and sentimental realist novels, many by such internationally renowned women as Madame de Genlis, Sophie Cottin, and George Sand.

Screening | Interdisciplinary Artist Shares His Video Works (+ Q&A)


Enjoy a screening and Q&A with interdisciplinary artist Coleman Collins to discuss his video works, Specular Fiction and The Upper Room. Primarily derived from 3D scans of objects, and with a particular focus on digital replicas of West African architectural sites, Specular Fiction (2024) is a short, speculative narrative video that traces the complex relationships between seemingly dichotomous terms: original and copy; object and image; real and virtual space. In an imagined future of indeterminate distance, the objects of the world have been destroyed, leaving only the mirror-world of their digital replicas behind. The Upper Room (2025) traces the often destructive effects of mimetic desire through a narrative video essay that weaves together fact and speculative fiction. Drawing parallels between diasporic fantasies of return, gospel music, and 19th-century projects of nation-state building, The Upper Room examines the ways in which both real and imagined spaces are collectively produced.

Discussion | Multi-Media Experience on Food, Art, & Black Agrarian Thought


Artist, chef, publisher, and author Bryant Terry explores the intersections of ancestral foodways, Black agrarian thought, community-based art practice, and food justice. Terry opens with a talk tracing the evolution of his two decades of work, illuminating how memory, land, and cultural resilience inform his creative and political commitments. He then performs Recipe for Staying Curious—a ritualized, recipe-shaped spoken-word piece that transforms kitchen practice into a framework for lifelong inquiry. Organized around intention, preparation, improvisation, iteration, and community, the performance invites participants to consider curiosity as both a discipline and a liberatory act. Following the talk, attendees will engage in a sensory exploration of spices and herbs—some sourced from regional farms—using touch, scent, and sound.

Discussion | Scholar Explores 18th-Century Literature of the Afterlife


This talk (by Kate Tunstall, Professor of French at the University of Oxford) considers the powers of literature to accord or not accord an afterlife, and at what price. It focuses on two women: one, whose (alleged) last words were “Est-ce que je vis encore?” namely Julie de Lespinasse (1732-1776), known today as a salonnière and the author of a series of tragic love-letters; the other, Charlotte Bourette, formerly Curé (1714-1784), a café owner and prolific poet who remains completely unknown today. The talk juxtaposes the two women with the aim of bringing into clear focus what literature does, and what can be done with it.

Sustained by nature's incomparable beauty, her advocacy and activism is as much a part of her art as paint, canvas and clay. Over the course of Frank’s career, she has worked in many mediums and materials, most notably with her monoprints, drawings, sculpture, painting and photography, and has been the subject of numerous solo museum and gallery exhibitions over the years. As described by art critic John Yau, Frank paints “elemental worlds largely inhabited by women (men, plants and animals) who are maenads, oracles, winged creatures and warriors –solitary and self-sustaining beings…(her) photographs of tableaus, which she assembles out of a variety of works she has made in different mediums, are all in pursuit of further defining the conditions of a mythic world.”

Discussion | Explore the History & Legacy of the Art of Photography


This conversation will examine the ways in which the market for 19th-century photographs has evolved over the past 45 years. In discussion with Darius Himes, the International Head of Photographs for Christie's, Kraus will reflect on the state of today's market, particularly for early photographs, and the opportunities available to collectors. When Hans Kraus began as a photography dealer in 1980, attention was focused on the upcoming 150th anniversary of photography in 1989. Fox Talbot's negative/positive process on paper and Daguerre's direct positive on polished silver were both revealed in 1839. Today, we face another moment of transition while looking ahead to the medium's bicentennial.

Film | Alfred Hithcock's The Trouble with Harry (1955): Technicolor Black Comedy 


Harry's dead and, while no one really minds, everyone feels responsible. After Harry's body is found in the woods, several locals must determine not only how and why he was killed but what to do with the body. Based on the 1950 book of the same name. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Shirley MacLaine Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense," he became as famous as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing of the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations.

Lecture | Discover the Politics of Environmental Conservation in the Late Soviet Arctic (In Person AND Online!)


This talk will explore how the mechanical all-terrain tracks left on the tundra surface by geological prospectors, military personnel, and industrial workers in the late Soviet Arctic initially alarmed local Indigenous communities, then raised concerns among environmental conservationists, and ultimately became a key argument in transnational efforts to establish one of the first Arctic tundra nature reserves (known as a zapovednik in Russian) on the Taymyr Peninsula in 1978. To trace how these physical imprints on the ground scaled up into a global environmental concern, the author employs a metaphor used by Indigenous Nenets herders, who describe the tundra surface as an animal skin. This corporeal and tactile metaphor resonates with the visionary works on the biosphere that were formative for the academic conceptualization of planetary-level disruptions. The resulting entanglements of the local and the global in the politics of nature protection constitute the core of this research.

Book Discussion | Book Launch: The Silver Fish by Former Security Official Connor Martin


Connor Martin (writer and former senior US national security official) launches his debut novel, The Silver Fish: A Thriller.  Book synopsis: Journalist Danielle “Dani” Moreau has spent a lifetime trying to outrun the privilege she was born into. Fresh off a personal tragedy, she lands in Ghana to uncover corruption in the local oil industry. But when she crosses paths with James Aidoo, an idealistic young Ghanaian whose father is a local populist politician, Dani remembers what drew her to journalism in the first place: you go looking for a story, but when the real story appears, it’s never the one you expected. A twisty double-cross narrative, The Silver Fish opens with a spy operation going horrifically off course and takes the reader sprinting through crowded markets, darkened bars, bustling ports, and steaming jungle on the way to a startling conclusion. It will leave the reader shocked, moved, better-informed—and eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the story.

Expressing a rich trans-cultural dialogue, paintings by Presley and Hogan elegantly bridge the ancient ontological mappings of Spinifex Tjukurpa with the formal innovations of modernist abstraction.

Lecture | Scholar Explores the World of Serbian Surrealism & Its Legacy


This event is a lecture by Branislav Jakovljević, Sara Hart Kimball Professor of the Humanities at Stanford University, on Serbian surrealism and its legacy. Moderated by Aleksandar Bošković. If the Belgrade group, rarely discussed in international scholarly circles, can be said to represent the lost tribe of surrealism, it is because of its staunch commitment to the politics of what Georges Bataille called “essential surrealism.” Their passage from surrealist works to radical social action, exemplified most clearly in the anti-fascist struggle that several Belgrade surrealists joined during World War II, represents one of the key moments in the history of international surrealism. The case in point is Koča Popović, a founding member of the Belgrade surrealist group, who had a distinguished career as a military commander, first in the Spanish Civil War, and then in the guerilla struggle against the Nazi occupying forces in Yugoslavia, from which he emerged as Commander-in-Chief of the Yugoslav partisan army. This talk presents Popović’s war diaries as a unique realization of the ideal of the surrealist novel: without precursors or followers, leaving Literature behind, and aspiring toward other, non-scriptive, forms of writing.

Play | Enchantment: Bioplay on the Life of Musician Ravi Shankar


Enjoy a special presentation of Enchantment, an intimate theatrical journey into the inner life of music giant Ravi Shankar, written and directed by Gowri Ramnarayan. After the performance, talk with Ramnarayan and the cast about the legendary sitar maestro, a global icon of Indian classical music and notable collaborator with Philip Glass, Zubin Mehta, George Harrison, and many others. This is not a standard retelling of Shankar's legendary career. Instead, this bioplay steps into the inner world of the sitar maestro — his doubts, regrets, struggles, and the fierce resolve that carried him from a boy dancer in Paris to one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Through moments of vulnerability and brilliance, the play reveals how Ravi Shankar transformed adversity into artistic triumph. Written and Directed by Dr. Gowri Ramnarayan.

Book Discussion | Expert Shares His New Book, Yardstick Nation: The Metric System in America


Hector Vera (associate professor at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) presents his new book, Yardstick Nation: The Metric System in America, in conversation with Professor John Torpey (Graduate Center, CUNY) and Gustavo Rojas Garcia (NSSR).  Using a historical-comparative approach and qualitative analysis of archival material, this work examines the trajectories of American scientists, engineers, politicians, and industrialists from 1787 to 1982, in their quest to establish a national system of weights and measures. It argues that to understand the unreachable distance between the United States and the metric system, we must consider the interaction between three structural elements: historical timing, state infrastructural power, and international economic integration.

Lecture | Psychologist Discusses "Commonsense Psychology" & AI


This talk, by Moira Dillon (Assistant Professor of Psychology, NYU), explores the foundations of "commonsense psychology" by comparing how infants, adults, and AI systems infer intentions from actions alone. By pitting human intuition against state-of-the-art neural networks, this work tackles foundational debates across psychology, philosophy, and computer science — revealing the origins of intelligence, the divide between natural and artificial minds, and what it will take to build truly human-like, trustworthy AI.

Lecture | Explore the Life of Artist/Author/Songwriter Romare Bearden


For this talk, you'll get a look into the life of Romare Bearden(1911-1988), who was an American artist, author, and songwriter. He also produced cartoons, oils, and collages. Joining the army on the European front during World War II, he returned to Paris after the war to study art history at the Sorbonne on the GI Bill. In the 60s, he pulled away from abstract art and took up figurative collage work. Bearden was a well-read man and vitally aware of social problems in the USA. His images compare Black rural life in the South, where he was born, to urban life in the North, where he lived.

Lecture | Political Theorist Discusses Capitalism & Nature


In this talk, political theorist and writer Alyssa Battistoni explores capitalism’s persistent failure to value nature, arguing that the key question is not the moral issue of why some kinds of nature shouldn’t be commodified, but the economic puzzle of why they haven’t been. Capitalism consistently fails to place value on vital aspects of the nonhuman world, whether carbon emissions or entire ecosystems.

This conversation will be followed by a book signing, where copies will be available for purchase. As the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger, strength, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. But in more than fifty years since his untimely death at age thirty-two, the legend has eclipsed the real man. During his lifetime, Bruce fought to be seen—from Hong Kong to Hollywood, Asian tenements to American ghettos, the lonely garret to the international screen.

Talk | Curator Explores the Czechoslovakian Avant-Garde (In Person AND Online!)


Writer and curator Meghan Forbes explores how Czechoslovakia’s avant-garde group Devětsil used print to spark a cultural revolution. Founded in 1920, Devětsil was an influential association of artists, architects, actors, and poets. United by Marxist politics, its members shared ideas through magazines and almanacs they edited and designed. In her new book Technologies for the Revolution, Meghan Forbes offers a close look at the collaboration between the Czechoslovak avant-garde and print technicians. By examining the interplay of typography, architecture, poetry, photography, film, and performance, Forbes presents a nuanced portrait of the group—highlighting its contributions to European avant-garde culture and its vision of a socialist utopia.

Tour | Explore Exhibition on NYC Magician History


Enjoy a guided tour of the exhibition on the golden age of magic, Mystery and Wonder: A Legacy of Golden Age Magicians in New York City. This staff-led tour highlights the major collectors and magicians linked to New York City from the 1870s to the 1930s. About the Exhibition: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a surge of magicians began to refine their art, finding larger audiences and building communities of practice, especially in New York City. This period has come to be known as the Golden Age of Magic. The history of magic and magicians has long been documented through text and image as a form of theater. Now, the exhibition Mystery and Wonder: A Legacy of Golden Age Magicians in New York City, curated by Annemarie van Roessel, will display our rich and historic archival materials related to the art of magic and the fascinating lives of magicians performing in New York City during the Golden Age.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Author of School Nurse An Eunyoung Discusses Contemporary Korean Literature (+ Signing)


Experience a special literary conversation with Serang Chung, one of the most widely read and beloved voices in contemporary Korean literature. This program will present an in-depth conversation with the author about her creative process, her genre-defying approach to storytelling, and the themes that shape her work. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Sang-Keun Yoo and will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Her genre-crossing works move fluidly between realism and the fantastic, illuminating everyday lives through vivid imagination and a keen sensitivity to the social worlds people inhabit. Blending warmth, wit, and an attentive gaze toward human relationships, her stories explore how people continue to care for one another even in uncertain and fragile times. Beyond the page, she has reached global audiences through the Netflix adaptation of The School Nurse Files and her contribution to Star Wars: Visions Season 2, “Journey to the Dark Head.” A limited number of complimentary copies will be available at the event on a first-come, first-served basis.
