Concert | Celebration of Afro-Brazilian Choro Music
Meet up with the New York-based Brazilian choro and samba ensemble Regional Samauma for a celebration of the sounds of Brazil through the potent group music-making gathering known as a Roda de Choro! Choro references a rich repertoire that dates back nearly two centuries and represents the fusion of Afro-Brazilian traditions with classical sonorities and dance forms from European culture. Initially developed in the post-slavery Rio de Janeiro in the late 1800s, choro remains a fundamental driving force for the contemporary expression of Brazilian culture. For this event, Regional Samauma presents a two-part Roda de Choro, beginning with a historical journey across 150 years of choro styles, incorporating maxixe, Brazilian polka and tango, samba, lundu, and baiao. In the second part, they invite the audience to participate in a semi-improvisational performance. Bring your own instrument and join in the fun with a few choro tunes! 5:00-6:00 pm: Presentation of choro music by Regional Samauma 6:00-6:30 pm: Participatory Roda de Choro Seating is first-come first-served.

Author Reading | Author Discusses Her New Feminist Book on Witches in Horror Films
This event is a chat with author and film critic Payton McCarty-Simas to celebrate the release of their second book, That Very Witch: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film! In the book, Payton tackles over seventy years of American film history and politics, exploring the relationship between representations of witches in horror film and American feminist movements. Touching on everything from Second Wave feminism to the Satanic Panic, from the #MeToo Movement to QAnon and beyond, Payton will discuss the political interplay between feminist activism and American genre film culture, unpacking movies big and small along the way. Payton McCarty-Simas is an author, programmer, and film critic based in New York City. They hold a Masters in film and media studies from Columbia University, where she focused her research on horror film, psychedelia, and the occult in particular. Payton’s writing has been featured in The Brooklyn Rail, Little White Lies, Rue Morgue, Film Daze, and others, and she is the author of two books, One Step Short of Crazy: National Treasure and the Landscape of American Conspiracy Culture, and All of Them Witches: Fear, Feminism, and the American Witch Film.
