Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would serve as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 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.

Talk | Expert Discusses Interconnected History of Italy & Brazil


Author Giulia Ricco speaks about her book and the history of Italians in Brazil in conversation withFrancesca Parmeggiani (Fordham University) and Zita Nunes (University of Pennsylvania). The Italian Colony of Sao Paulo: Race, Class, and Cultural Capital in Brazil argues that, contrary to what one might expect, Italians first became racialized as white in Sao Paulo, Brazil at the turn of the twentieth century. This book brings to light how the overlooked experiences of Italians in Brazil complicate conventional narratives about the racial ambiguity and oppression of Italians in the Americas, on the one hand, and the conflation of Italians with cultural and economic backwardness in Europe, on the other. About the Author: Giulia Ricco is an Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her research and teaching focus on modern Italian and Brazilian literature and culture, with particular attention to nationalism and migration.

Author Reading | Hear from Legendary Actor Leonard Nimoy's Son about His Father


Discover how the son of Spock learned to navigate this tumultuous relationship, and how he was finally able to reconcile with his father, and with himself. While the tabloids and fan publications portrayed the Nimoys as a “close family,” to his son Adam, Leonard Nimoy was a total stranger. The actor was as inscrutable as the iconic half-Vulcan science officer he portrayed on Star Trek, even to those close to him. Now, Adam Nimoy’s poignant memoir explores their complicated relationship and how it informed his views on marriage, parenting, and later, sobriety. Despite their differences, both men ventured down parallel paths: marriages leading to divorce, battling addiction, and finding recovery. Most notably, both men struggled to take the ninth step in their AA journey: to make amends with each other.  RSVP does not guarantee entry. Coat check is limited.

Discussion | Three Experts Exchange Opinions on the Legacy of French Enlightenment


Enlightenment professor Antoine Lilti, in conversation with history professor Carl Wennerlind and French professor Joanna Stalnaker. The Enlightenment has come under substantial attack over the past several years, with some going so far as to recommend leaving its thinkers--and their Eurocentric prejudices--behind. On the other hand, the most orthodox defenders of the Enlightenment insist that its values are not just foundational but indispensable and that leaving them behind means opening the door to nihilism and relativism. For Antoine Lilti, one of the leading scholars of the French Enlightenment, both sides are wrong.

Talk about and analyze The Stranger in the Lifeboat with others! Synopsis: Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, nine people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him in. Thank the Lord we found you, a passenger says. I am the Lord, the man whispers. Is this strange and quiet man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to cause the explosion? Are the survivors already in heaven, or are they in hell? The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is later discovered, a year later, when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat. It falls to the island's chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened.

Over the past 10 years, Soccer Mommy's Sophie Allison has established herself as one of the most distinctive voices in indie rock. She writes tender songs with gorgeous guitar tones that ruminate on love, self-doubt, and vulnerability. Her 2020 LP Color Theory became a lodestar during the pandemic, with songs like "Circle the Drain" and "Crawling in My Skin" reflecting the turmoil of isolation through '90s grunge riffs and soaring hooks. Hurray for the Riff Raff's Alynda Segarra ran away from home as a teen to ride the rails and see the country before settling in New Orleans, where they became a promising folk musician. Their latest LP, The Past Is Still Alive, digs into their years riding the rails and sleeping under the stars. Avant-pop band Dummy will round out the evening with their heavy, transfixing sound.

Classical Music | Hindustani Classical Works for Guitar & Piano (In Person AND Online!)


This performance presents a unique conversation between two groundbreaking artists -- Alec Goldfarb (Hindustani classical guitar) and Utsav Lal (piano) -- in a powerful reimagining of Hindustani classical music. Trained in the rigor of the tradition, Goldfarb and Lal push the boundaries of form and texture, expanding the idiom with shifting rhythmic architectures, new harmonic terrains, and uncanny textures. Indian pianist/composer Utsav lal, often known as the 'Raga Pianist' is recognised as the rarest of pianists. Stunning the world with his innovative handling of Indian Classical Music on a Western instrument, The Irish Times describes Utsav Lal as "a fleet-fingered performer whose best moments can be both highly evocative and dazzling." Lal's ground-breaking work has garnered an impressive career spanning two decades, with solo performances at world famous venues like Carnegie Hall (New York), Southbank Centre (London), Kennedy Center (Washington DC), Steinway Hall (New York), Asia Society (Hong Kong), Arts Center (Melbourne). Alec Goldfarb is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, composer, and Hindustani classical musician known for blending jazz, new music, and Indian classical traditions. A DownBeat Magazine award-winning composer, his music is described as "full of ingenious juxtapositions" (The Wire), and unravels hidden meeting points between disparate sound cultures, revealing the intricate movement of traditions across time. You must register separately for each concert, and there is a strict deadline: 11am the day before each concert. You will not be allowed on campus without registering.

Discussion | Learning about Black Contributions to Broadway for Black Theatre Day


Celebrate Black Theatre Day with a discussion between members of the advisory panel of the exhibition, Syncopated Stages: Black Disruptions to the Great White Way. The panel will reflect on the exhibition and the work and legacy of its late curator, Professor Michael D. Dinwiddie. Although the common nickname for Broadway, "the Great White Way," refers, historically, to its dazzling lights, the phrase also suggests the ways in which many histories of New York theater center white artists. Black artists, though, have been important shapers of musical theater in the United States before the electric light was ever used on stage. In the early 20th century, Black composers and writers created many popular musicals in New York that helped define the genre, setting it apart from 19th-century traditions. New forms of syncopation, the disruption of the dominant rhythm, and narratives composed and written by Black artists challenged the prevailing sounds and depictions of Black people on stage.  They pushed back against exclusion and stereotype, laying the groundwork for generations of Black artists whose contributions have reshaped Broadway. Syncopated Stages spotlights their work, acknowledges the challenges they faced, and celebrates the brilliance of what they made—exploring how Black artists transformed the New York stage and how their work still reverberates today.

Book Club | Discuss the Novella Paul Celan & the Trans-Tibetan Angel by Yoko Tawada


Analyze and talk about Paul Celan & the Trans-Tibetan Angel by National Book Award winner Yoko Tawada, translated from German by Susan Bernofsky. Synopsis: Originally published in 2020, Tawada's latest is presciently set in a pandemic-emerging Berlin. Her protagonist initially refers to himself as “the patient,” struggling with leaving his “own four walls.” He reveals a name, Patrik, possibly necessary for interfacing with (select) others. He recently walked out of his job as a research assistant for a professor of German literature, a self-denying narcissist who is particularly and vocally contemptuous of poet Paul Celan’s work. That derision fueled Patrik’s interest in Celan, inspiring him to register for a Celan conference in Paris. The organizers’ query, What is your nationality?, asked in order to potentially secure funding for Patrik’s participation, sends him on a spiraling search for identity as the German-born son of immigrants. His (maybe) chance meeting with Leo-Eric Fu, a “Trans-Tibetan” (a “Celan word,” Patrik acknowledges), provides comforting friendship over language, literature, books, ancestors, and, of course, Celan.

Opening Reception | Photographs Celebrating Unspectacular Events & Small Shifts in Everyday Life, with Artist Talk


Enjoy the exhibition opening of Regula Ruegg's A Light Within: Photos and Stone, a long-term photographic project that focuses on the often overlooked and subtle shifts that define everyday life. A Light Within also highlights the photographic depiction of Ruegg's sculptural work, rendered mostly in alabaster, and examines the surprising interplay and connection of the two mediums. Ruegg is especially interested in unspectacular events, the small shifts in everyday life, the often overlooked background of the grander things. These subtle and seemingly unpresuming themes are combined with still lifes and impressions from her travels. Recently she started her sculptural work with stone again, after a long period of concentrating on photography. The direct contact with stone - mostly alabaster - made a different creative experience and process possible. It also opened up a surprising connection between the two mediums. he opening reception will include an artist talk with the photographer. The exhibition will remain on view through October 29.

Author Reading | Award-Winning Poet Discusses His New Book, Seabeast


Organized as an alphabetical bestiary, Seabeast lyrically catalogues whale species by common name and behaviors, resulting in a poetic compendium that defies pathetic fallacy even as it sings the similarities between homo sapiens and the marine mammoths that have long captured our fascination. In his fifth full-length collection, writer Rajiv Mohabir winds together the threads of cetacean evolution, natural history, animal migration, and human culture and colonization as they concern the endurance of all species. In anthropomorphizing these complex mammals, Mohabir argues, we overwrite and erase their sublime difference and selfhood, their distinct and separate experience of embodiment; yet, in refusing to recognize the familiarities of whale behavior and social patterns, we subjugate these magnificent creatures, affirming a hierarchy that establishes anything inhuman as inherently less than human and enabling cruelty toward all manner of living things.

Physics for Cats by Tom Gauld Tom Gauld returns with Physics for Cats, his second collection of science-based cartoons for the New Scientist. Find out why every scientist worth their sodium chloride has a Tom Gauld cartoon taped to their electron microscope. This new batch of hilarious gags will be as important to every self-respecting scientist as a lab coat and goggles and oversize rubber gloves. Cannon by Lee Lai A LAMBDA Award winner and breakout fiction sensation returns with a darkly funny slice of friendship strife. In Cannon, Lee Lai's much anticipated follow-up to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Stone Fruit, the full palette of a nervous breakdown is just a slice of what Lai has on offer. As Cannon's shoulders bend under the weight of an aging Gung-gung and an avoidant mother, Lai's sharp sense of humor and sensitive eye produce a story that will hit readers with a smash. Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me by Mimi Pond Born with pedigrees but without the pocketbooks to match, The Mitfords were certainly no strangers to lies, intrigue, or scandal. Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah. The sisters grew from cloistered turn-of-the-century country girls into debutantes who would marry into political influence--for better or worse. Is it any wonder that a young, working class Mimi in Southern California becomes enamored with The Mitfords' downright fanciful rich-and-famous lifestyle? This charming, inventively cartooned, and lovingly researched biography captures the dramatic, over-the-top antics of high society's strongest personalities as they rubbed elbows with some of history's most infamous fascists and communists.

Opening Reception | (We are) Looking at Reality Through a Narrow Keyhole


Canadian artist Chloe Wise's work spans multiple media: sculptures, video, installations, and oil paintings. She has explored themes such as consumer culture, branding, performance, and identity. In all her work, she's used satire, irony, and humor to drive her point home. Her newest point of inspiration is that of perception and reality. The human eye and ear only detect minuscule percentages of what the electromagnetic and sound frequency spectras offer us. Moreso, we are naive and ignorant of what is lurking in our periphery. Wise's paintings are a collection of vignettes in a keyhole, emphasising the narrowness of our realities.

Talk | Discussion on New Philosophy Book: Thinking with Our Ears (In Person AND Online!)


Enjoy a spirited conversation around the release of the English translation of Thinking with Our Ears, written by Director of La Maison Francaise, Francois Noudelmann, translated by Brian J. Reilly. Synopsis: What if we opened our ears to the sound of ideas? We often forget that thought makes noise, whether a great din or light rustling. We have even tried to silence thought. Still, in philosopher's writings, we can hear cries and murmurs. Their voices and accents are part of their thoughts. From the acoustic devices of antiquity to the use of the microphone today, Thinking with Our Ears puts a stethoscope to philosophy, proposing a sound ecology of thought to study the sound environments in which philosophy is created and which philosophy helps create. The panel discussion will include Brian J. Reilly (translator of Thinking with Our Ears), Pauline Nadrigny (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pantheon-Sorbonne), Sylvaine Guyot (Professor in the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture, NYU), Simon Leser (translator and graduate student in the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture, NYU).

Economic recession swung to prosperity, cable TV, along with commodification and consumer desire emerged, all while the Cold War and the HIV crisis came to the forefront. New York was a place at the center of all of this, being a place for discussion -- especially in the world of art. Ultimately, the 80s reflected a mass movement of youth popular culture from music into art. This exhibition celebrates all of these points, highlighting pieces from influential artists of the time, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, and many more.

Opening Reception | Solo Exhibition Exploring the Power of Holding, Releasing, and Transforming Love


What Do I Do with All This Love by Valerie Huhn is a body of work that revisits a question Huhn first asked herself more than twenty-five years ago, when a move from New York City to San Francisco -- and an unexpected breakup -- left her wondering what to do with all the love she still carried. A Rilke quote gifted to her then urged patience and trust in life's unanswered questions. Decades later, standing in her studio surrounded by fingerprinted mylar sheets casting flickering reflections, she realized she was finally living her way into an answer -- through art. This show traces her journey from escaping a psychiatric hospital in Pennsylvania to the freedom she found in New York's creative community, and the hard-earned understanding that freedom and love must be nurtured and protected. What Do I Do With All This Love is both a question and a testament to the enduring power of holding, releasing, and transforming love.

Opening Reception | The Body Experience: Surveilled and Infiltrated 


Contemporary visual and performance artist, P.Staff's newest installation finds a focal point in simulating the sensations of the human body, specifically when possessed or controlled. Staff explores the multiple connotations of the word "possessive" -- re-evaluating the ways in which we think of ownership and the body. Staff merges architecture with the body while psychically perverting our integration with the built environment. Her installation includes a central video project, which is spread across three floors, as well as a series of new sculptures.

Screening | Rendez-vous of the Docks (Le Rendez-vous des quais) (1955): Historic, Controversial French Political Drama Film


Banned in France for nearly thirty years, this film stands as a vital work of political cinema and  chronicle of working-class life in postwar Marseille.  This film is set against the backdrop of the early 1950s dockworkers’ strikes in Marseilles, when the workers—discovering they were unwittingly loading weapons by day and unloading coffins by night—go on strike in opposition to France’s war in Vietnam. The film was censored for 30 years for its anti-colonial, anti-war message and open solidarity with the labor movement, and only rediscovered decades later. Director: Paul Carpita Cast: André Abrias, Jeanine Moretti, Roger Manunta In French with English subtitles.

Director: Stanley Kubrick Cast: Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lee Ermey, Dorian Harewood, Arliss Howard Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer.

While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release—particularly the brutal A Clockwork Orange (1971)—most were nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical re-evaluations.

Author Reading | Expert Discusses His New Book on Paradigm Shift in Social Justice (In Person AND Online!)


Attend a conversation with the author of Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse--an incisive, culturally observant analysis of the evolving mores, manners and taboos of social justice ("anti-racist") orthodoxy, which has profoundly influenced how we think about diversity and freedom of expression, often with complex or paradoxical consequences. In this provocative book, Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the most revered and reviled social commentators of today, paints a clear and detailed picture of the ideas and events that have paved the way for the dramatic paradigm shift in social justice that has taken place over the past few years. Taking aim at the ideology of critical race theory, the rise of an oppressive social media, the fall from Obama to Trump, and the twinned crises of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, Williams documents the extent to which this transition has altered media, artistic creativity, education, employment, policing, and, most profoundly, the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives. Williams also decries how liberalism--the very foundation of an open and vibrant society--is in existential crisis, under assault from both the right and the left, especially in our predominantly networked, Internet-driven monoculture.

Author Reading | Launch of Book about the Politics of Documentary-Listening (In Person AND Online!)


How does listening in documentary become a proxy for justice—and what other kinds of listening might be possible? In The Documentary Audit: Listening and the Limits of Accountability, Pooja Rangan examines how documentary listening—through habits she calls neutral, entitled, and juridical—can reinforce structures of profiling, exclusion, and carceral capture, even when framed as progressive or ethical. This launch event brings together three respondents who take up the book’s invitation to think documentary and sound alongside raciolinguistics, disability access activism, and legal forensics: Lakshmi Padmanabhan (Film Scholar, Northwestern University) Jordan Lord (Artist and Writer, Colorado College) LaCharles Ward (Curator and Scholar, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture) Together, they will explore how to refuse listening habits that discipline and punish, and how to reimagine accountability across media, law, and everyday life.
