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.

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 11 mayors, beginning with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Each tour is one hour, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with an assigned docent.

Symposium | Curatorial Conference Exploring Cultural Questions behind National Exhibition Formats (In Person AND Online!)
LAAAAAND: Curating Another Nation is a symposium gathering a diverse assembly of curators and artists. It is a panel discussion that will explore how art and curatorship can respond to this new and hazardous cultural context. Introduced by Peter N. Miller, President of the American Academy in Rome, a panel of curators and artists is invited to respond to a series of interconnected questions. The discussion is moderated by art critic and curator Nikki Columbus. In the first session of the panel, Jenny Lin and Dare Turner will draw from their research to explore how artists and curators can engage with the symbols of national identity. In the second session, Francesco Urbano Ragazzi will examine how to curate a national exhibition without falling into nationalist rhetoric. In the third and final section of LAAAAAND, Anton Vidokle and Claire Tancons will reflect on the role of the national dimension, positioned between the global ambition of art and its need to take root within specific territorial contexts. Ultimately, is it possible to conceive of national exhibition formats as instruments of resistance, or does their original mission compromise them from the start? In an era when nationalist worldviews are dangerously on the rise, LAAAAAND: Curating Another Nation is an effort to reclaim a conversation about the possible forms of human coexistence.

Author Reading | Historian Shares His New Book, The Spirit of Socialism: Culture and Belief at the Soviet Collapse (In Person AND Online!)
Joseph Kellner, historian of Russia and the Soviet Union at the University of Georgia, presents his recently-published book, The Spirit of Socialism: Culture and Belief at the Soviet Collapse. It is a new—and perhaps the first--cultural history of the Soviet collapse and transition, which examines the highly visible flourishing of new worldviews that attended the period’s cascading crises. Amidst profound disorientation, millions of former-Soviet people, mostly of the educated urban middle class, sought new direction in their horoscopes, or behind gurus in saffron robes or apocalyptic preachers, or by turning from the most basic premises of official science and history to orient themselves anew. From this spirited search for meaning, the book appraises both the nature of late Soviet culture and ideology, and its legacy in the newborn Russian Federation.

Screening | The Infinite Race: Short Documentary on Mexico's Indigenous Rarámuri Community (+ Director Q&A)
The Infinite Race is a short documetnary that follows an annual marathon in Mexico's Copper Canyon, where the indigenous Rarámuri—renowned for their endurance—compete in a grueling long-distance race. Founded in 2004, the event honors Rarámuri traditions and supports the community, including essential corn vouchers. With stunning cinematography and intimate access to the runners, the film explores tensions beneath the race: cultural appropriation, economic pressures, and the threat of drug cartels. When violence threatens the next race, the complexities of the organizers and the global spotlight come into focus. Amid these challenges, the film offers a vivid portrait of a resilient people whose connection to land and tradition endures—race or no race, the Rarámuri continue to run. Director: Bernardo Ruiz Screening followed by Q&A with the movie director.

This lecture by philosopher expert Christia Mercer asks (and answers) the question, "If Descartes is not the father of modern philosophy, then what is he?" For generations, students have been told that Descartes invented the modern subjective individual and that his pivot to subjectivity was made possible by his innovative use of an evil deceiver whose powers can make false beliefs seem true. Descartes' doubter despairs until he grasps an indubitable truth: he is “a thinking thing.” The modern subjective individual seems miraculously born with a deceiving demon as its midwife. Professor Mercer argues in her lecture that this thrilling story is false, an invention of so-called enlightenment figures, who turned Descartes into a harbinger of their insights. She discusses the late medieval women who were the source of Descartes’ demon strategy, before asking “well, then, what is the significance of Descartes?” Christia Mercer is the Gustave M. Berne Professor of Philosophy, Director of Just Ideas, editor of Oxford Philosophical Concepts, co-editor of Oxford New Histories of Philosophy, and former chair of Lit Hum.

Book Discussion | Authors & Translators Discuss Works of Prominent Jewish Writers, Philip Roth & Hayim Nahman Bialik (In Person AND Online!)
Philip Roth and Hayim Nahman Bialik are some of the most celebrated writers in contemporary Jewish literature. Enjoy a conversation with Steven J. Zipperstein and Peter Cole about the enduring legacies of Roth and Bialik, led by Edward Hirsch. In his newly published biography of Roth (1933-2018), Philip Roth: Stung by Life, Zipperstein explores the complex life and astonishing work of one of America's most celebrated novelists. Roth wrote with relentless ambition, producing a wide-ranging body of work--from Goodbye, Columbus to American Pastoral--that grappled with sex, identity, and American Jewishness. In On the Slaughter, translated and introduced by MacArthur-winning poet Peter Cole, the poetry of Hayim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934) emerges with renewed force. Bialik transformed Hebrew literature, bridging traditional Jewish thought with modern humanism. This compact collection reveals a poet far more politically and psychologically unsettling than his image as a national icon suggests.

Book Discussion | Political Scientist Shares Her New Book, Post-Soviet Graffiti
Enjoy a talk by Assistant Professor of Political Science at the United States Naval Academy Alexis Lerner about his new book, Post-Soviet Graffiti. Moderated by Timothy Frye. Post-Soviet Graffiti is an empirically grounded ethnographic study of how graffiti and street art can be used as a political tool to circumvent censorship, express grievances, and control public discourse, particularly in authoritarian states. For more than a decade, Lerner combed the alleyways, underpasses, and public squares of cities once under communist rule, from Berlin in the west to Vladivostok in the east, recording thousands of cases of critical and satirical political street art and cataloging these artworks linguistically and thematically across space and time. Complemented by first-hand interviews with leading artists, activists, and politicians from across the region, Post-Soviet Graffiti provides theoretical reflection on public space as a site for political action, a semiotic reading of signs and symbols, and street art as a form of text.

Book Discussion | Discuss Gwendolyn Brooks' Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poem, "The Anniad"
For this poetry discussion meeting, the group will discuss Gwendolyn Brooks’ Pulitzer Prize winning 1949 poem, "The Anniad." This long form poem was originally published within Brooks’ second poetry collection, Annie Allen. “The Anniad” plays with the form of the ancient epic, transposing it to working-class Black Chicago. By subverting the traits of the heroes of ancient epic, Brooks stakes a claim that the form can apply to Black women’s lives. Brooks was the first African American to win the Pulitzer prize, and she also held the title of U.S. Poet Laureate. You can also find a PDF copy at the link provided. Please bring a printed copy to the discussion; the group will be doing close readings and analysis of the poem.

Screening | 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025): Ukrainian War Documentary (+ Filmmaker Discussion)
From the Oscar-winning team behind 20 Days in Mariupol, 2000 Meters to Andriivka documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a personal and devastating vantage point. Following his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens towards Ukrainian soldiers — who they are, where they came from, and the impossible decisions they face in the trenches as they fight for every inch of their land. Amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023, Chernov and his AP colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian brigade battling through approximately one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. Weaving together original footage, intensive Ukrainian Army bodycam video and powerful moments of reflection, 2000 Meters to Andriivka reveals with haunting intimacy, the farther the soldiers advance through their destroyed homeland, the more they realize that, for them, this war may never end. Director: Mstyslav Chernov The screening will be followed by a conversation with Director/Writer/Producer Mstyslav Chernov, Executive Producer Raney Aronson-Rath, and Producer/Editor Michelle Mizner, moderated by Azmat Khan, Director, Simon and June Li Center for Global Journalism.

Galindo lives and works in Guatemala, using its own context as a starting point to explore and assess the ethical implication of social violence and injustices related to gender and racial discrimination, as well as human right abuse arising from the endemic inequalities in power relations of contemporary societies. Galindo is, in Loris Romano words, “an artist who pushes herself beyond her own limits, through performances which are radical, unsettling and ethically discomfiting."

Lecture | Understanding Fictional Encyclopedism in Modern & Postmodern Literature
Enjoy an explanation of fictional encyclopedism by researcher, professor, and author Pierpaolo Antonello. Critics have observed that an "encyclopedic complex" or "encyclopedic impulse," frequently marked by irony and satire, has informed both modernist and postmodernist literature, from Joyce to Pynchon. While usually linked to the vast architecture of maximalist novels or opere-mondo, this lineage also runs through short, fragmentary, and eccentric texts that resist clear generic classification. In such works, the encyclopedic is refracted through epigrammatic form, with flashes of taxonomic excess, where the discursive frameworks of the sciences are repurposed for arbitrary, imaginary, and parodic schemes of classifications. This lecture examines this genealogy through intermedial instances of fictional encyclopedism, concentrating on Leo Lionni's Parallel Botany (1976) and Luigi Serafini's Codex Seraphinianus (1981). Both works conjoin scientific discourse, visual art, and imaginary taxonomy, and interrogate the fantastic through parodic and satirical registers. They exemplify not only the ekphrastic tendencies of contemporary encyclopedism but also a form of "rational fantastic" that exceeds Tzvetan Todorov's genre definition, reconfiguring encyclopedism as an open, generative aesthetic: a combinatory mechanism for the invention of possible worlds.

Lecture | Understanding Humanity during the Rise of AI
Drawing on preliminary fieldwork in AI ethics spaces in Europe and the U.S., alongside speculative AI designs that challenge dominant norms, this talk explores the potential of redescribing the human as a foundation for confronting the exclusion of marginalized worldviews from modernity. The question of what it means to be human is at the center of public discourse surrounding our interactions with so-called artificial intelligence, presenting a critical opportunity for feminist and anti-racist anthropology. This talk engages with the current moment of meaning-making in the face of emerging technologies to revisit postcolonial, decolonial, and Black studies critiques of the human and of post-Enlightenment reason. These fields have long worked to recover submerged, silenced, or otherwise erased histories of the colonized, offering alternative accounts of who counts as a subject and what forms of life are possible.

Scholar Ilan Stavans and writer Jordan Salama discuss the recently retold songs and poems of Aztec king, poet, and warrior Nezahualcóyotl and his illustrious 15th century court, based on the new book Aztec king Nezahualcóyotl was a revolutionary far ahead of his time. Born in 1402, the ruler—whose name means “hungry coyote” in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl—led the city-state of Texcoco through its age of enlightenment. His four-decade reign was among the most transformative and prosperous eras of the Aztec Empire. Today he is a hero in Mexico, seen as a mysterious, powerful, anti-colonial figure. Brimming with anguish and longing, this epic collection of songs and poems was composed by Nezahualcóyotl with members of his illustrious court.

Levi (1919-1987) observed his life--his Italian Jewish community, his time as a chemist and as a partisan, and then his imprisonment in Auschwitz--with wry humor, compassion, and the lucidity of a scientist doing a lab report.

Panelists will discuss how regimes of India, China, the United States, and the UK have tried to restrict if not control what journalists and writers produce, as well as coping strategies that deployed in response.

Classical Music | Acclaimed Composer & Musician Ljova's Original Works a New Instrument: The Fadolín (In Person AND Online!)
Ljova's (Lev Zhurbin) solo project, “Enter the Fadolín” introduces a new instrument into the classical cannon -- the fadolín — that combines the range of the violin, viola and most of the cello, in one unique sonority. Since 2020, Ljova has been building a repertoire for the unaccompanied fadolín, adapting music by J.S. Bach (originally written for the keyboard), Bach's Irish contemporary Turlough O’Carolan (originally performed on the folk harp), a popular theme by Dvořák originally written for the orchestra, and many pieces written especially for this unique, haunting new instrument, by Ljova himself. Ljova divides his time between composing for the concert stage, contemporary dance & film, leading his own ensemble LJOVA AND THE KONTRABAND, performing with and composing for TRIO FADOLÍN, as well as a busy career as a fadolínist, violist, and musical arranger. Among recent projects is a film score for the National Geographic, commissions from the City of London Sinfonia, The Louisville Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma and the Silkroad Ensemble, Brooklyn Rider, The Knights, Sybarite5 and A Far Cry, as well arrangements for the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, conductors Gustavo Dudamel and Alondra de la Parra, songwriters Ricky Martin, Natalia Lafourcade and Carlos Vives.

Talk | Artist & Theorist Discusses Her "Dark Play" Creative Process
In this talk, artist and theorist Aliza Shvarts will discuss the broader arc of her practice, and explore how "dark play" can offer an aesthetic and political strategy to navigate increasing forms of censorship. Performance theorist Richard Schechner describes “dark play” as the condition when the performer knows they are performing, but the audience does not. The term also invokes the “dark arts” or clandestine powers attributed to witches as reproductive criminals: women who, as described by Marxist feminist Silvia Federici, not only often helped others manage their reproductive health, but whose speech—insofar as they possessed the power to cast spells or curses—possessed the power to act. The talk with be followed by a Q&A led by NYU Performance Studies Department Chair and Professor Ann Pellegrini and a reception.

Opening Reception | Exploring Life in East Germany through Harald Hauswald's Photography
Experience the opening of Harald Hauswald: Life in East Germany, an exhibition of Harald Hauswald’s photographic work, curated by photographer Martin Schoeller. The exhibition opening will include an artist talk between Harald Hauswald and Martin Schoeller. Harald Hauswald is one of the most important East German photographers who captured the everyday reality of life in the German Democratic Republic in the late 1970s and 80s with empathy, humor, and precision. The exhibition provides an unembellished look at what life in East Germany looked like before the fall of the Berlin Wall, juxtaposing an often ironic view of the public sphere with intimate glimpses at the private and inner worlds of the GDR’s citizens. A self-proclaimed “chronicler of the East,” Hauswald was constantly observing the system, which in turn was surveilling him. From 1978 until the fall of the Berlin Wall, Hauswald was under constant surveillance by the Stasi, and the contents of his Stasi file are included in this exhibition, highlighting the powerful ways in which Hauswald’s images created an unofficial counter archive to dominant state-propagated ideology and narratives. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16, 2026.

Talk | Learn about Recent German Right-Wing Fiction with Experts
As a genre, the novel seems ill-suited to the whims of the 21st century. What once made writers praise the novel as quintessentially modern—its discursive capaciousness, its ability to incorporate other genres within itself—appears less impressive in the digital age, where new forms are constantly being produced and character-limits reign king. As many a cultural critic has lamented, no one has the attention span to finish a novel anymore. Even if we set aside our current obsession with AI and social media, the novel still seems constitutionally ill-suited to political messaging. The very act of reading a novel stagnates political action: reading takes time, of course, but also demands isolation and a retreat from collective life. And yet, even today, writers are still turning to the novel as a tool for political persuasion. What do these novels understand themselves to be doing? How do they work? By investigating recent political novels in German, especially from the far right, this talk argues that the contemporary political novel is preoccupied with the question of its own efficacy.

Discussion | Prize-Winning Author Discusses Enlightenment Philosophy & Death
This lecture explores the question: What would the Enlightenment look like if we viewed it through the eyes of the philosophers as they were facing death? In The Rest Is Silence: Enlightenment Philosophers Facing Death, Professor of French and prize-winning author Joanna Stalnaker discusses works written at the end of the Old Regime and at the end of their authors’ lives. These works, all written before the French Revolution, cast a retrospective glance over the intellectual movement their authors participated in, and over the authors’ own lives and works. Stalnaker shows that the beauty of these works stem from their authors’ efforts to give literary form to the fragility of their dying bodies. As they reflected on writing as a means of reaching posterity, Enlightenment philosophers embraced the possibility that neither their names nor their writings would survive long beyond the decomposition of their bodies. They inscribed the silence and nothingness of death into their last works, capturing their sense of an ending rather than the confidence in a glowing future so often attributed to them.

Reflecting on the history of Shub's unfinished film, Cynthia Madansky puts it in conversation with the stories of four women in present-day Russia. The result is a beautifully crafted experimental documentary that examines the current status of feminism in the country.

Author Reading | Columbia Writing Professor Celebrates His New Book, Vera or Faith
Columbia Writing Professor Gary Shteyngart reads from his latest book, Vera or Faith: A Novel. Followed by a conversation with Professor Bruce Robbins, English and Comparative Literature. Synopsis: The Bradford-Shmulkin family is falling apart. A very modern blend of Russian, Jewish, Korean, and New England WASP, they love one another deeply but the pressures of life in an unstable America are fraying their bonds. There’s Daddy, a struggling, cash-thirsty editor whose Russian heritage gives him a surprising new currency in the upside-down world of twenty-first-century geopolitics; his wife, Anne Mom, a progressive, underfunded blue blood from Boston who’s barely holding the household together; their son, Dylan, whose blond hair and Mayflower lineage provide him pride of place in the newly forming American political order; and, above all, the young Vera, half-Jewish, half-Korean, and wholly original. Observant, sensitive, and always writing down new vocabulary words, Vera wants only three things in life: to make a friend at school; Daddy and Anne Mom to stay together; and to meet her birth mother, Mom Mom, who will at last tell Vera the secret of who she really is and how to ensure love’s survival in this great, mad, imploding world.

Play | The Seven Ravens: Family-Friendly Fairytale Adaptation (In Person AND Online!)
When a young girl makes a shocking discovery about the history of her family, she embarks on a challenging quest to reunite with loved ones she's never met. Weaving a little-known Brothers Grimm tale with the experiences of child migrants, refugees, unaccompanied minors, and displaced youth across the globe, The Seven Ravens explores the meaning of home, the love of family, and the lengths to which a child may go to build bridges to her own lost past. A playful, imaginative, and visually arresting work, The Seven Ravens celebrates the resilience, imagination, resourcefulness, and tenacity of children living through displacement, separation, and dreams of reunion in the face of great odds, shedding light on one of today's most pressing sociopolitical issues through the lenses of allegory, fantasy, and play.

Concert | Jamon Maple: An African American Balladeer's Journey into Korean Song
Before I Knew the Words is a solo concert experience tracing Jamon Maple's real-life transformation from curious listener to viral sensation, becoming one of the most unexpected yet beloved interpreters of Korean song. With breathtaking vocals, intimate storytelling, and a voice that lives between worlds, Jamon invites the audience into a musical pilgrimage--one that led a Black American artist to find his soul's home in a language he didn't speak, but somehow always knew. Through timeless Korean ballads, personal reflection, and original music, this evening is more than a performance -- it's a spiritual homecoming, a celebration of cultural connection, and a reminder that sometimes, the music finds us. When Jamon Maple first heard a Korean ballad echoing from a friend's apartment in New York City, he didn't understand a single word -- but something in the sound shattered him open. What began as a moment of unexpected resonance would ignite a journey across languages, cultures, and continents. He is an American tenor, educator, and cultural ambassador whose artistry transcends borders. From Carnegie Hall to Korean national television, he has earned international recognition for performances that unite classical, contemporary, and world music traditions through powerful storytelling and cross-cultural connection.

The New Yorker calls Lattimore's solo work "complex and expansive, songs that evoke seismic emotional shifts... not so much music to zone out to as music to self-actualize by." Collaboration remained at the heart of her work, showing up in the form of joint creations with Superchunk's Mac McCaughan, as well as in contributions from members of Slowdive and The Cure on her 2023 album Goodbye, Hotel Arkada. She will play music from that album and from across her already impressive career. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2.
