Performance | Fabric Softener: Performance Art Inspired by Toni Morrison
Asia Stewart's Fabric Softener is a theatrical response to Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, offering an imagined ritual with the power to revive young Black women and insist on their survival. Stewart draws on three characters from the many who populate Morrison's 1977 novel: Pilate, her daughter Reba, and granddaughter Hagar. In the original text, Hagar dies of a broken heart after deeming herself unworthy of love, beauty, and acceptance. In her performance, punctuated by musical outbursts of spirituals and passages from the novel, Stewart presents three new characters who are not recreations of these women but are instead archetypes: The Laundress, The Celebrant, and The Witness. The performance begins as The Celebrant and The Witness prepare The Laundress for an intervention: a baptism, a becoming, and a funeral for what used to be and can no longer exist.

Concert | Fefita La Grande, One of the Most Important Dominican Musicians - Outdoors
Over 70 years of creating and performing, Manuela Josefa Cabrera Taveras, better known as Fefita La Grande, has established herself as one of the most important figures in Dominican music. As a pioneer of the art of merengue t?pico, the rustic variation of merengue unique to the Dominican Republic, she is a rare female champion of the accordion, paving the way for countless other women in an otherwise male-dominated profession. Fefita has also earned considerable renown as a celebrated vocalist and phenomenally popular composer and lyricist, whose rendition of the traditional folk song "La Chiflera" is considered emblematic of t?pico's appeal. Her ability to reinvent her sound has kept Fefita's work freshly appreciated across generations, as proven by recent collaborations with stars like Milly Quezada and Krisspy. Fefita's Lincoln Center premiere on the big stage offers audiences an opportunity to witness the Queen of Merengue T?pico at her creative height.

Opening Reception | 2 Exhibitions: Tropical Frequencies / Hope is a discipline
Hope is a discipline inhabits the words of Mariame Kaba, who proposes that hope is neither just a feeling nor horizon but something we do together, using the resources we already have. The exhibition features an ensemble of artists foregrounding memory and political inheritance, who work with collectively held archives—physical and intangible—from documentary record to oral history, ancestral memory to intergenerational learning. Transmitted through textile, installation, video, theater props, artist books and ephemera, Hope is a discipline relays the question: how do we find, remember, and share in the struggles of ancestors? Tropical Frequencies is an exhibition featuring painting, sculpture and installations by artists from the Caribbean who channel and engage with alternate realms in their practices. These spiritual and intangible realms are heavily influenced by diasporic Caribbean culture, the tropics, ancestral stories, and the artists’ African and/or Indigenous roots. The repurposed organic and manmade materials used throughout the exhibition such as wood, sand, seashells, and recycled clothing, act as a medium to channel the artist's ancestral homes and the nuanced histories of the Caribbean.

Performance | Fabric Softener: Performance Art Inspired by Toni Morrison
Asia Stewart's Fabric Softener is a theatrical response to Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, offering an imagined ritual with the power to revive young Black women and insist on their survival. Stewart draws on three characters from the many who populate Morrison's 1977 novel: Pilate, her daughter Reba, and granddaughter Hagar. In the original text, Hagar dies of a broken heart after deeming herself unworthy of love, beauty, and acceptance. In her performance, punctuated by musical outbursts of spirituals and passages from the novel, Stewart presents three new characters who are not recreations of these women but are instead archetypes: The Laundress, The Celebrant, and The Witness. The performance begins as The Celebrant and The Witness prepare The Laundress for an intervention: a baptism, a becoming, and a funeral for what used to be and can no longer exist.

Book Discussion | Sailing Without Ahab: Melville Reimagined
Claim your space to attend this unique poetry reading and book talk with author Steve Mentz who has reimagined Herman Melville’s great American classic Moby-Dick, without the monomaniacal quest of Captain Ahab. In this event, Mentz as he charts a new course through a familiar epic aboard Pequod, the fictional 19th-century Nantucket whaling ship that, in this retelling, sails without its captain. Together you will journey through uncharted literary waters and explore Melville’s masterpiece in bold new light through a reading of selections from this cycle of 138 poems––one for each chapter of the original novel. These poems dive into oceanic chaos without the stabilizing focus of the Nantucket captain on the white whale, guided instead by waywardness and curiosity. We will hear how, directionless, these poems reach out to touch the oceanic expanse and depth in a meaningful way. This event will relinquish the original goals and obsessions captured in Moby-Dick and enjoy this poetic rethinking of a literary triumph. A Q&A and book signing with the author will follow the reading.

Concert | Catalan Sounds on Tour - - Outdoors
A vibrant showcase of the music of Catalonia. Sidonie, a Barcelona-based psych-pop trio, is known for songs that seamlessly blend Hindu music, surrealism, and rock. After more than 25 years together, their latest LP, Marc, Axel and Jes, strips their sound to its roots, packed with bracing two-and-a-half-minute jams that capture the healing power of a great rock record. The Balkan Paradise Orchestra, an all-female ensemble comprising wind and percussion players, takes the spirit of the Balkans and infuses it with various rhythms and worldwide traditions. Their new album, Nectar, explores the world of bees, riffing on themes of travel, teamwork, and personal and collective effort. The self-taught composer and multi-instrumentalist Lau Noah has been breaking hearts and turning heads with her voice and guitar in New York City since 2014, but broke out in 2019 with her debut on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series--the first Catalan artist to do so. The event is a unique opportunity to experience the rich and diverse Catalan music scene in New York.
