Festival | Procession Celebrating the Festival of San Juan: Dancing & Singing
Attend a unique celebration of the Afro-Venezuelan tradition of honoring San Juan. Participate in a "walking procession": the collaborative ritual of dancing and singing to the beat of drums. The Festival of San Juan was originally a communal practice by enslaved people in the cocoa and coffee plantations in the Caribbean coasts of Venezuela. Though it has been celebrated in Venezuela for hundreds of years and celebrates the summer solstice and the birth of Saint John the Baptist, modern participation in San Juan often acts as a statement of self and pride. This recentering of San Juan in New York City is led by Willie Quintana, director of the Brooklyn musical collective Tambor y Cana. By bringing together historical touchstones, national affiliation, and personal identity, Tambor y Cana acts as a catalyst for a meaningful appreciation of and fresh engagement with Afro-Venezuelan culture.

Galleries | Artist Talk with MoMA Curator on the Visual Codes of Nationality
Enjoy a talk on the exhibition Anna Barlik: Flags of Non-Existent Countries, with artist Anna Barlik and Paula Vilaplana de Miguel, Curatorial Associate at MoMA. The artist’s new series lending title to the exhibition is a series of formal compositions that engage the visual codes of nationality while critically reinterpreting them. The starting point is the flag, as one of the most recognizable symbols of unity, identity and political belonging. In Barlik’s work, such order becomes destabilized — colors that are assigned to certain countries or places become re-ordered, deconstructured, and reconfigured, creating visual marks, or speculative emblems, for countries that have never existed. In these works, these colors are changed into softer and different - less obvious tones. By moving away from their usual forms, the works ask how symbols gain meaning and power, and encourage viewers to look again at ideas often seen as fixed or natural.

Performance | If I Had a Gun I’d Take Them All Down: Multi-Media, Multi-Sensory Theater Experience Delving into Ukrainian Memory, Resistance, & Survival
If I Had a Gun I’d Take Them All Down confronts the long history of Russian oppression in Ukraine through a calculated collision of personal testimony, political history, and live performance. The piece unfolds as an intimate, unflinching walk through contemporary wartime Kyiv—examining both the physical architecture of a city under siege and a psychological landscape of memory, resistance, and survival. The narrative mirrors two distinct timelines: the history of Dmitry Bogrov, the anarchist who assassinated Russian Prime Minister Piotr Stolypin at the Kyiv Opera House in 1911, and the modern narration of Armianovski himself. On stage, the narrator retraces Armianovski’s and Bogrov’s steps through the capital, moving physically across a space transformed by Armianovski’s documentary video projections, which function as a living, cinematic archive.Enveloped in an immersive soundscape and original composition by Natan Kryszk, the production establishes a multi-sensory environment where acoustic and visual textures evoke collective memory. Through its seamless fusion of live staging, documentary cinema, and atmospheric sound and music, the stage becomes a volatile meeting point between two distinct realities: the relative safety of an American theater and a city living. Written and with video by Piotr Armianovski. Director/co-creator Paul Bargetto. Performer/co-creator Michael Rubenfeld.

Film | D.W. Griffith's Orphans of the Storm (1921): Silent Melodrama
Lillian and Dorothy Gish star as the resourceful Henriette and the blind Louise, who leave their countryside home for Paris in the hopes of having Louise's sight restored. Spied by the lecherous Marquis de Praille, Henriette is abducted, and the women are tragically separated in a city on the brink of anarchy. With the help of a kind-hearted nobleman, Henriette endeavors to find the helpless Louise, but cruel fate repeatedly thwarts her efforts. Griffith exploits their heart-wrenching dilemma with masterful skill, crowning the drama with political intrigue, spectacle, and his usual degree of social moralizing (staunchly disclaiming any parallels between the French Revolution and recent waves of "bolshevism"), drawing the multi-layered epic to its white-knuckled climax outside the old city gates of Paris, beneath the gleam of the guillotine's scarlet blade. Director: D. W. Griffith Cast: Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish D.W. Griffith was an American film director who was one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of the motion picture. He pioneered many aspects of film editing and expanded the art of the narrative film. Today, he is primarily remembered for directing the controversial 1915 film Birth of a Nation.

Play | Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet: Broadway & Film Actors in a Timeless Tale of Starcrossed Lovers
Never was there a story of more woe, or more romance, than the Bard’s timeless tale of two young lovers from warring families.
