Book Discussion | Rutgers University Historian Shares Her New Book, American Metropolis: The Making of Mexico City
Tatiana Seijas reveals how the everyday labor of vendors, artisans, transporters, and other essential workers transformed Mexico City into a great metropolis.

Talk | Artists Discuss AI-Generated Images & War Photography (In Person AND Online!)
This roundtable takes a limited edition artist book, Seeing Against Seeing, as its central case study, bringing author/artist Alexey Yurenev into conversation with Bogna Konior and Fred Ritchin. They will examine how AI-generated images transform the conditions of war photography. Yurenev's book combines a bespoke GAN trained on WWII-era imagery with archival research and interviews, producing synthetic photographs that echo historical visual language while attempting to render what was never recorded: trauma, absence, and the psychological residue of war. Within this framework, Konior's essay, "War in the Age of Infinite Evidence," provides a critical lens on the shift from evidentiary scarcity to saturation.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Novelists Discuss Their Books Commenting on Italian Identity (In Person AND Online!)
Jennifer Anton, author of Under the Light of the Italian Moon, and Laura Morelli, author of The Keeper of Lost Art, discuss their novels and celebrate Italian Heritage in conversation with Lisa Ackerman. Under the Light of the Italian Moon tells the story of Nina Argenta, the daughter of a village midwife in a small mountain town in northern Italy, whose dreams of joining the man she loves in America are shattered by family duty and the rise of Mussolini. As fascism tightens its grip and World War II brings Nazi occupation to her village, Nina must summon extraordinary courage to protect those she loves. Inspired by the true experiences of the author's own family, the novel explores the enduring bonds of family, the resilience of ordinary women, and the choices that shape identity across generations. The Keeper of Lost Art by Laura Morelli tells the story of twelve-year-old Stella, coming of age in Tuscany 1943, in a world at war. When her mother sends her to safety with distant relatives at a villa in Tuscany, she finds them tasked with a great responsibility: hiding over 300 priceless masterpieces from the Uffizi Galleries. Inspired by the true story of the heroic efforts to safeguard Italy's cultural treasures during World War II, The Keeper of Lost Art is a sweeping and emotionally powerful tale of love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Participants will then work in quiet, with space for individual reflection before a short closing conversation. Ba Nhung has been weaving for fifty-five years. Each day adds something small, one pattern, one hour, one mood, until years of ordinary labor become inseparable from the life they accompanied. This workshop takes that logic as its starting point.

Museums | Sunday at a Unique Art Museum
