Performance | Work-in-Progress Showing: A Ritual of Memory, Absence, and Unfinished Stories
This work-in-progress by Arturo Luíz Soria explores grief, memory, and what remains unspoken. After his brother’s death, a writer searches through a fragmented archive, creating a ritual from absence and erasure. The piece confronts cultural silence around suicide, prioritizing pursuit over closure. Audiences will experience a 45-minute excerpt, followed by a feedback session, with responses guiding the work’s next phase.

Screening | Seen Unseen: An Anthology of (Auto) Censorship (2024) -- Film Project Exploring Turkish Political Climate (+ Filmmaker Q&A)
Experience a screening and Q&A with Firat Yücel and belit sağ to discuss their filmmaker-group project Seen Unseen: An Anthology of (Auto) Censorship. A group of filmmakers and artists from Turkey collaborated to create videos on “(auto)censorship” in response to the increasingly repressive climate in Turkey. The result is Seen Unseen: An Anthology of (Auto)censorship, a collective reflection on the limits of freedom of expression. Six videos intertwined with each other, reframing the history of censorship from the perspective of those who experienced it. Through diverse forms—desktop documentaries, video essays, photography, letters, chats, reenactments and CCTV footage—Seen Unseen: An Anthology of (Auto)Censorship revisits recent histories of censorship from the perspective of those who have lived them. From prison writings and unsent letters to unfinished documentaries and a painting barred from print, the anthology explores a central question of filmmaking: to show, or not to show. Director: Serra Akcan, Hakan Bozyurt, Sibil Cekmen, Can Memis, Erhan Örs, Belit Sag, Nadir Sonmez, Firat Yücel Following the screening, filmmakers will join remotely via Zoom for the Q&A.

Lecture | Activist & Educator Kwanza Musi Dos Santos Explores the Legacy of Italian Colonialism
This lecture, by activist and educator Kwanza Musi Dos Santos, will explore the enduring legacies of Italian colonialism as they manifest in the urban landscape of Rome, a city whose monuments and architecture often silently perpetuate a history of empire and racial erasure. Through an anti-colonial lens, we will examine how the city’s public spaces, statuary, and street names function as a contested terrain, reflecting the nation’s unaddressed colonial past and its impact on contemporary Italian society. Drawing on research and grassroots initiatives, the discussion will shift focus to the dynamic strategies of activism and resistance employed by academics and Afro-diasporic communities.

Boston. If Carrie is horror's version of a girl becoming a woman, and Rosemary's Baby is the horrific version of a woman becoming a mother, this series is horror's take on a woman becoming a wife. Rachel (Camila Morrone) is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky (Adam DiMarco), she embarks on a road trip to his family's vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest. Prone to superstition and paranoia, Rachel can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. The screening will be followed by a post-screening conversation with creator Haley Z.

Book Discussion | Historian Shares Her New Book, People without History are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust
Dr. Anna Hájková, author of People without History are Dust: Queer Desire in the Holocaust (2025), explains why the history of same-sex desire in the Shoah, that is, queerness among Jews persecuted by the Nazis for their race, has been excluded and marginalized, and how its return to our understanding of the Holocaust can offer an inclusive and feminist history of this genocide. Based on original and extensive archival research, Dr. Hájková's book offers groundbreaking insight into the queer history of the Holocaust. Dr. Hájková, Reader of Modern European Continental History at the University of Warwick, United Kingdom, will introduce her book – winner of a National Jewish Book Award – in conversation with Benjamin Carter Hett, Professor of History, Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Content Advisory: This book talk includes sensitive material related to sexual violence, which may be distressing. Attendee discretion is advised.

Book Discussion | Hear about Paolo Boccagni’s recent book Undoing Nothing: Waiting for Asylum, Struggling for Relevance
This discussion centers around Paolo Boccagni’s recently published book Undoing Nothing: Waiting for Asylum, Struggling for Relevance. Undoing Nothing unravels the concept of “nothing," through a beautifully-written ethnography situated in a temporary housing building for asylum seekers in northern Italy. While much has been written about the infrastructure of refugee camps, detention centers, shelters and temporary housing facilities for asylum seekers, Boccagni’s account centers of the lives of young men in their early twenties, mostly from West Africa, who have been housed for years in this temporary building while they wait for their asylum cases to be resolved, or for a stable enough job that will allow them to pay for their own housing while they wait for a decision about their migration status. A timely and important book that contributes to debates around temporality and spatial politics in contexts of mobility, and also raises significant questions about broader structures of exclusion within host societies.

Opening Reception | Sovereign Acts III: Multi-Artist Exhibition on Performance, Identity, & Indigenous Art
Enjoy the opening of the exhibition Sovereign Acts III, curated by Wanda Nanibush. Curated by Wanda Nanibush, Sovereign Acts III is the latest iteration of ongoing research into the relationship between performance, identity, and contemporary Indigenous art. Contemporary artists take up this relationship by creating self-representations in theatre, music, powwow, ceremony, and visual arts. In Sovereign Acts III, the artists—Rebecca Belmore, Lori Blondeau, Demian DinéYahzi, Martine Gutierrez, Robert Houle, James Luna, Alan Michelson, Kent Monkman, Shelley Niro, Cara Romero, Jeff Thomas, and Hulleah Tsinhahjinnie—create performances, photographs, and installations to challenge ideas of normative and static identity. They use a variety of aesthetic strategies, including reenactment, remixing, memorialization, mimicry, parody, masquerade, and portraiture, underscoring the interdisciplinary nature of Indigenous art. At the heart of Sovereign Acts is a recuperation of captive and stage performers’ agency from the 1500s to the 1960s and their place within art history.

Book Discussion | Art Historian Shares Her New Book on Artist Alice Baber (In Person AND Online!)
Art historian Gail Levin discusses her new book about artist Alice Baber with art critic and journalist Deborah Solomon. At the time of her premature death at just fifty-four, the paintings of Alice Baber (1928 - 1982) had already entered the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney. How could such an accomplished and visionary artist then fall into near obscurity? In Gail Levin's Alice Baber: An Artist's Triumph Over Tragedy, the artist's fascinating story is finally revealed despite concerted efforts to consign her to oblivion. Levin's biography is a vital corrective to the history of American art and a thrilling opportunity for the next generation to experience Baber anew.

In this talk, Ben Trott (Director of Gender Studies and speaker of the Center for Critical Studies at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany) addresses the material context of what has come to be known as “cancel culture”, paying particular attention to the political contestation of speech around gender and sexuality in the years that have followed the 2007 global economic crisis. He provides an alternative to the dominant account of the current culture wars around speech, gender and sexuality as conservative or reactionary “backlash” to liberal or left identity politics. And he explores the role of speech as a vehicle for political organisation in contemporary social and political conflicts.

In recent years, their paths have converged, and a new realm has emerged — a place where image whispers to word, and word answers with light. They call it Light and Whispers.

Lecture | Expert Discusses 19th-Century Dreyfus Affair & Antisemitism
Dr. Andrew Kotick's lecture examines the Dreyfus Affair from a new perspective by exploring the laughter it provoked. The Dreyfus Affair was arguably the most famous political and judicial scandal of 19th-century France. It erupted in 1894 when the French officer Alfred Dreyfus (1859-1935) was accused and convicted of being a German spy. Just two years after Dreyfus's conviction and exile, however, the accusations against him were revealed to be an antisemitic conspiracy. In the years that followed, his case went through several appeals, and in the summer of 1906, the verdict against him was overturned. Using satirical caricatures and drawings, Dr. Kotick investigates how visual humor shaped the emotional climate of the affair and contributed to making antisemitism a mass phenomenon. Based on examples taken from illustrated press, especially the popular weekly newspaper, Le Rire, Kotick shows how ridicule was used as a political weapon to influence public opinion, define belonging and exclusion, and reshape modern mass politics. By analyzing the visual culture of the affair, Kotick illustrates how laughter became one of the most effective forms of expression in political life.

Conference | Learn about the Materialism of Italian Colonialism
Experts discuss the nature of colonial objects in Italian museums and in circulation. Italian museums and private homes hold a substantial number of objects intertwined with the history of colonialism. Their conservation raises questions about their cultural and political significance, alongside debates regarding their provenance and the practices surrounding their restitution. Furthermore, these objects still circulate widely — through auctions, marketplaces, and passed down through family inheritances. Despite this pervasive presence, the growing scholarship on Italian colonialism has not placed material culture at the center of analysis.

Classical Music | Salterio Ensemble Perfoms Works by Vivaldi & More (In Person AND Online!)
Passiflora Harmonica ensemble (Marc Armitano Domingo, Baroque salterio, Dusan Balarin, Baroque guitar and theorbo, Lydia Becker, violin, Jimmy Drancsak, violin and viola, and Clara Abel, violoncello) explores the vast and varied repertoire of the salterio during its heyday. The salterio, a type of chromatic psaltery that can be played with little mallets or by plucking, became increasingly popular during the 18th century amongst high society and court musicians in Italy, Spain, and Latin America. Its repertoire, which is still being uncovered to this day, shows just how many uses the instrument had. The program will feature a sampler of salterio repertoire, from the earliest surviving piece for salterio from Vivaldi's Il Giustino to fandangos and other popular Spanish music from the 18th century to the first decades of the 19th century.

Discussion | Art Experts Discuss the Concept & Framework of Trans Ecologies
Ohan Breiding (artist and filmmaker) and Jill Casid (art theorist and historian) are in conversation to discuss trans ecologies across visual, theoretical, and historical practices. Here, trans does not merely describe a subject position, but offers tactics for navigating Anthropocene violence and loss. Critical trans perspectives on ecologies understand sex and gender as constructed by settler colonialism and racial capitalism that depend on models of hetero-reproductive kinship, bounded singular subjects, sharp divisions between nature and culture, and exploitative labor practices. Working from within the devastated sites scaped by these imbricated forces, trans ecologies materialize new embodied knowledges, more-than-human relational networks, and practices of care and justice at the ends of the world.

Across Global Easts, East Asia and Eastern Europe, victimhood nationalism has been a memory template to amplify nationalist conflicts, creating a vicious cycle of victimhood competition. Deeply thought-provoking, Lim’s book asks what happens when past trauma becomes a political instrument. Victimhood nationalism victimizes innocent victims differently again.

Classical Music | Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories: Piano Works on Perception, Memory, & Imagination (+ Pre-Concert Remarks)
Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories is a 90-minute elegy to what the composer saw as music's departing landscape, where the sound exists in our hearing -- leaving us rather than coming towards us. Part ritual, part meditation, Triadic Memories offers the opportunity to explore issues of perception, memory, and imagination. "Any pianist wanting to play Feldman needs the most exquisite touch, and also great stamina," writes the London Times, "and Marilyn Nonken clearly has both in abundance." Pre-concert remarks will be made by Ben Levy (University of California at Santa Barbara), editor of In Search of Morton Feldman: The Composer at 100.

This book talk will examine forms of racial care both as performance and in performance in order to shed light on how Asian Americans have endured contemporary life in the United States. James McMaster is an interdisciplinary scholar who analyzes twenty-first century American cultural production and social movements for what each can teach us about how minoritarian subjects have experienced moments of prolonged crisis in the United States

Discussion | Group Conversation on Zadie Smith's Concept of Joy
This community conversation begins with a short excerpt from Zadie Smith’s essay “Joy.” In it, Smith reflects on the strange difference between pleasure and joy. Pleasure fits easily into daily life. Joy is harder to manage. It can be surprising, excessive, even disruptive. That small distinction opens a larger question about the kinds of experiences modern life seems to reward—and the ones it quietly pushes aside. From there, participants will explore how ideas associated with market thinking—efficiency, productivity, “making good use of time”—shape the way choices are judged. Along the way, the conversation turns toward the common good and the shared conditions that make certain forms of freedom possible.

Synopsis: On a beautiful spring day, a falcon named Pellegrino flies happily over the Strait of Messina at dawn and sees a colorful bridge connecting the two shores.

The falcon first meets Scylla, the six-headed monster who terrorizes sailors crossing the two shores of the strait, then Charybdis, who causes the whirlpools and currents of this beautiful stretch of sea, and finally Colapesce, a boy who has become half man and half fish and supports on his shoulder the column that holds up the city of Messina. Music by Roberto Scarcella Perino. Libretto by Eugenio Refini. Performed in Italian by Suchan Kim, Emma Marhefka, Anna Maria Vacca, Bernard Holcomb.

Playwrights Doug Wright and J.T. Rogers, stage director Bartlett Sher, and James Nicola, former artistic director of the New York Theater Workshop, will discuss these ideas.

Award-winning author Rebecca Lehmann joins a conversation about her debut novel, The Beheading Game–an audacious, feminist take on British royal history that imagines what would happen if Anne Boleyn woke up after her execution and set out on a quest for vengeance–with fellow writer Anna Solomon (The Book of V.). A fantastical journey through the wilds of England and Tudor history, filled with danger and magic and steeped in Arthurian legend, The Beheading Game is a prescient reminder that “mouthy” women have always been punished. Now, thanks to debut novelist Rebecca Lehmann, nearly five hundred years after Anne Boleyn’s death, one of history’s most maligned women finally has the chance to tell her story.

Book Discussion | Scholar Shares the New Edition of Her Book, Fashion under Fascism
At this talk, author and scholar Eugenia Paulicelli will be in discussion with Francesca Granata, Parsons School of Design, about her book, Fashion under Fascism. In Fashion under Fascism, Paulicelli explores the subtle yet sinister changes to the seemingly innocuous practices of everyday dress and shows why they were such a concern for the state. Importantly, she also demonstrates how these developments impacted on the global dominance of Italian fashion today. Alongside interviews with major designers, such as Fernanda Gattinoni and Micol Fontana, this newly expanded revised edition of the book includes updated material on gender and masculinity, the role of uniforms in standardizing individuality, race and colonial Italy, and the reception of 1930s cinema. It sheds new light on the complicated relationship between style and politics and is an essential read for all those interested in the history of fashion, politics, national identity and the culture of fascism.

Nuclear Hallucinations is a film that claims to be a documentary, centered around the anti-nuclear struggle against the Kudankulam Atomic Power Project in South India. In a context where cases of sedition and waging of war against the state are filed against anti-nuclear protesters, the film attempts to question the totalitarian nature of pro-nuclear assertions through comic modes. Satirical impersonations, performance, and ironic renderings of jingoistic rhetoric work together to form a narrative that explores the tragic absurdity of constructing nuclear power plants on a tsunami-affected coast. Director: Fathima Nizaruddin Followed by a Zoom Q&A with the director.

Excavating the limits of her medium, Humphries generates a density of languages, forms, and gestures native not only to the history of painting but also the codes and aesthetic registers that belong to the endless scroll of data and commerce on the flat, cold surfaces of screens. Honing in on the surface of things, she has used gridded stencils, fluorescent paint, emoticons, and black light, among other materials in order to paraphrase, parody, and rewrite the codes of post-war abstraction. She disrupts the traditional oppositions of figure/ground and flatness/depth to create anti-illusionistic, anti-representational images, making and then, as she calls it “unmaking” her works in order to toy with ideas of historicization and authenticity. As such, Humphries’ work revels in its playful profanity, the pleasure of its sheer materiality seeping from its surface. She describes her search as one for “a kind of psychological hook”, evoking suspense or a sense of something wrong.

Talk | Multi-Disciplinary Artist Shares Her Craft & Career
Hear from artist Jacqueline Humphries, who has been working through the question of what contemporary abstract painting can mean in a society mediated online. Excavating the limits of her medium, Humphries generates a density of languages, forms ,and gestures native not only to the history of painting but also the codes and aesthetic registers that belong to the endless scroll of data and commerce on the flat cold surfaces of screens. Honing in on the surface of things, she has used gridded stencils, fluorescent paint, emoticons, and black light, among other materials in order to paraphrase, parody, and rewrite the codes of post-war abstraction. She disrupts the traditional oppositions of figure/ground and flatness/depth to create anti-illusionistic, anti-representational images, making and then, as she calls it “unmaking” her works in order to toy with ideas of historicization and authenticity. As such, Humphries’ work revels in its playful profanity, the pleasure of its sheer materiality seeping from its surface. She describes her search as one for “a kind of psychological hook”, evoking suspense or a sense of something wrong. This nameless, spectral sensation creeps across much of her oeuvre; her large-scale, commanding paintings invite close inspection, while at the same time eluding and confusing the ways in which their surfaces were worked by Humphries herself.

Learn the technical secrets behind stunning travel photography -- aperture, light, and composition lessons acquired across 100+ countries.

Book Discussion | Physicist Reflects on His Travel Memoir, Before the Beginning (+ Author Q&A)
A physicist returns to his origins to rebuild a broken identity. Book talk followed by Q&A with author, Ernesto Mané. In 2010, the physicist Ernesto Mané, from the Brazilian state of Paraíba, embarked on a geographical and emotional journey to fulfill a long-held desire: to meet his paternal family in Guinea-Bissau. He emerges from those months profoundly transformed. Fifteen years later, now a career diplomat and a Guinean citizen, he gives literary form to his travel diary in Before the Beginning. In the words of Angolan writer and curator Kalaf Epalanga, who penned the book’s flap text, the work is a “rare achievement,” in which “the great African tragedy is narrated in the same register as authors such as Ta-Nehisi Coates or Mia Couto.”

Lecture | Scholar Explores the Relationship between Video Games & Indigenous Studies
In this lecture, Jodi A. Byrd (professor of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago) examines the differences between Settler colonial studies and Indigenous studies by bringing video game studies and Indigenous studies into conversation with Black studies, queer studies, and Indigenous feminist critique. Byrd theorizes “the image of the law of the Indigenous” as structuring dispossession in games including Assassin’s Creed, Animal Crossing, BioShock Infinite, and Demon Souls. They demonstrate how games and play might reveal histories of slavery, genocide, and theft of Indigenous lands even as their structures obscure Indigenous spatial and embodied practices that prioritize relationships with land, water, plants, and spirits. With ground and relationality defined as key concepts, Byrd centers Indigenous visions of dystopias to reveal how game spaces encode settler structures of governance even as the design of games might yet provide vital modes of resistance to Indigenous erasure.

Open Studios | Balancing Colonial Legacies Between Lisbon and Macao
Architects Xiaoxi Chen, Lily Chishan Wong, and André Santos showcase their work-in-progress multimedia project Ta-Chim: Weighing a City's Colonial Legacies. The project explores changing political, material, and sensory relationships between urban artifacts in Lisbon and Macao in pursuit of postcolonial futures.
"Ta-chim" means "balances" in Patuá, a critically endangered creole language developed in Macao, which was a Portuguese colony until 1999. The ongoing project combines archival images, films, performing bodies, and 3D scans to chart the flow of post-colonial and diasporic matters and bodies. First shown at the 2025 Lisbon Architecture Triennale, the work explores how a city's colonial legacies compare to the seafaring rituals of its homelands.

Editors and translators discuss the work of Elsa Morante and other Italian women writers. Italian author Elsa Morante is having today a deserved though much-deferred recognition as one of the truly outstanding writers of the 20th century writers, well beyond Italy. Morante has been a source of inspiration and a constant challenge for generations of women writers since – one has to think of Elena Ferrante, who fashioned her nickname as an homage to her favorite author. Today, prestigious new translations into English captivated a new readership able to appreciate her legacy, beginning with the 50th anniversary of her most controversial and beloved novel, La Storia (History: A Novel), which the new issue of the prestigious journal Annali d’Italianistica dedicated to Morante will celebrate.

Rather, it is an attempt to capture the feeling and people of a place, the cannery district of Monterey, California, which is populated by a mix of those down on their luck and those who choose for other reasons not to live "up the hill" in the more respectable area of town. The flow of the main plot is frequently interrupted by short vignettes that introduce us to various denizens of the Row, most of whom are not directly connected with the central story. These vignettes are often characterized by direct or indirect reference to extreme violence: suicides, corpses, and the cruelty of the natural world.

Screening | A.P. Giannini: Bank to the Future (2024)--Documentary on Financial Revolutionary (+ Exhibit Opening)
This film retraces the life and legacy of Amadeo Peter Giannini (1870–1949), the son of Italian immigrants who founded the Bank of Italy—later to become Bank of America. At a time when American banks served primarily the wealthy, Giannini introduced a radically different idea: banking built on trust in ordinary people. Giannini also opened the doors of credit to immigrants, farmers, and entrepreneurs who had long been excluded from traditional banking. His institution would go on to support emerging industries—including the young Walt Disney, whose creative ambitions found backing when more cautious financiers hesitated. Directors: Valentina Signorelli, Cecilia Zoppelletto In English with Italian and English subtitles. Followed by the opening of the exhibition “You Can’t Die for a Dollar”: The Revolution of Amadeo Peter Giannini.

Immigrant communities are strong and resilient, yet face a vast deportation machinery that constantly threatens the lives they have built in the United States. When the law is so often used as a tool of oppression, how can it be used as a tool for liberation? What role can lawyers play in supporting movements that seek to protect and advance immigrant rights? Professor Alina Das, Director of the Immigrant Rights Clinic at NYU Law School, will address these issues and share examples from her clinic’s advocacy on behalf of its clients and community partners. She will discuss the power and limitations of lawyering, and the importance of solidarity across movements and disciplines to achieve justice.

Film | Easter Parade (1948): Old Hollywood Romantic Musical with Judy Garland & Fred Astaire
In this lavish musical, Broadway star Don Hewes' dancing partner goes solo, and Don declares that he can make a hit performer out of the next dancer he sees. This turns out to be the inexperienced Hannah, who bristles as Don tries to make her into his old partner. But as he realizes that he is falling in love with Hannah, Don knows that he must let her grow into her own kind of dancer if he wants her to reach her full potential. Director: Charles Walters Cast: Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Peter Lawford, Ann Miller Judy Garland was an American actress and singer. She attained international stardom and critical acclaim as an actress in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage. Renowned for her versatility, she received an Academy Juvenile Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Special Tony Award. Garland was the first woman to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, which she won for her 1961 live recording titled Judy at Carnegie Hall. As a dancer, actor, singer, musician, choreographer, and presenter for stage, film, and television, entertainer Fred Astaire was known as a "paragon" (New York Times) entertainer. Over the course of his nearly seven-decade spanning career, Astaire received an Honorary Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, three Emmy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Grammy Award.

Lecture | Explore the World of the Human Embryo
The talk explores the historical relationships that exist between the development and the evolution of embryos. What is the link between our developmental origin as individuals (a fertilized egg), on the one hand, and our evolutionary origin as a group of individuals (an ancestral population), on the other hand? And these embryos, are they really extraordinary constructions relying on carefully accumulated, multiple sets of precisely encoded instructions or instead, could they be the mere and only obligatory result of a chaotic program haphazardly built during the past hundreds million years?

Author Reading | Austrian Writer Martin Prinz Shares His New Novel, The Last Days
Enjoy a reading by Austrian writer Martin Prinz from his novel The Last Days, followed by a conversation with Bernadette Wegenstein, Professor of Media Studies and Director for Advanced Media Studies at Johns Hopkins University. Book Synopsis: Set in April 1945 near Vienna, The Last Days reconstructs a Nazi society in its final weeks, when the war was almost over but the killings continued. Drawing on trial records and contemporary documents, Prinz examines a series of executions carried out by Nazi summary courts against individuals accused of defeatism and desertion. Written in the restrained language of court transcripts, the book confronts questions of individual responsibility, arbitrary power, and the long silence that followed these crimes in Austria. In the final 41 days of the war, more people were murdered in Austria than in the previous seven years. Among the victims were the granddaughters of Olga Waissnix, the muse of Arthur Schnitzler. Two years later, the perpetrators appeared before a people’s court, defending their actions as lawful and invoking obedience to a state that had already ceased to exist. With sober precision, Prinz revisits these events and reflects on literature as a form of remembrance.

Hear a concert from David Rivera, a singer-songwriter, drummer, and leader of the band La Bambula. Rivera has developed a sound with universal appeal, centered on the fusion of Caribbean tropical rhythms with elements of modern music. In his own words: "I don't define my music within a single category; rather, it's a fusion that weaves together hip-hop beats, funk, R&B, and touches of electronic music with the echoes of 1970s salsa and the rich Caribbean and Puerto Rican tradition--perfect for jazz lovers, dancers, and even for the heart." Setting the stage is Discolocas, a club night established in March 2022 to provide a safe, supportive space where women selectors and DJs could feel comfortable sharing their vinyl selections. Expect to be moved by everything from vintage rumba, salsa, and cumbia to experimental sounds.

Concert | Reinventing Tradition: Ensemble Works by Castello & Berio
This program, curated by The Juilliard School professor and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient Emi Ferguson, spotlights the works of two pioneering Italian composers, Dario Castello (1602-1631) and Luciano Berio (1925-2003). Before dying at 29 to the bubonic plague, Castello was integral to the revitalization of early Baroque music, transforming the Renaissance canzona into the sonata. Berio, beginning with the groundbreaking Sequenzas (1958 to 2002), reimagined the very foundations of performance, form, and sound for the 20th century. Heard together, these trailblazers offer proof of how "new" music continually reinvents tradition. This evening's Castello and Berio showcase will feature Ferguson on flute, Matthew Aucoin (AMOC* co-founder and MacArthur Fellow) on piano and percussion, and a formidable string trio of AMOC* core ensemble members that includes violinist/violist Miranda Cuckson, violinist Keir GoGwilt, and cellist Coleman Itzkoff. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Lecture | Expert Shares Her Research on "Precarious Employment"
At this talk, Dr. Wen-Jui Han will present research related to precarious employment that points to a trap impacting low-income and marginalized communities. Since the 1980s, the global labor market -- including the U.S. -- has shifted toward precarious employment, characterized by instability, volatility, and unpredictability. Although such work is often portrayed as a temporary "stepping stone," longitudinal research spanning three decades reveals a different reality: for many workers, precarious employment becomes a permanent trap with serious health consequences that emerge in midlife and persist into later adulthood.

Classical Music | New York Classical Players Perform Works of Musical Dialogue by Mozart & More
The New York Classical Players perform a program exploring the evolution of musical dialogue from raw intimacy to symphonic exuberance. The journey begins with Erwin Schulhoff's Duo for Violin and Cello, where folk energy meets the edgy defiance of 1920s modernism, followed by the timeless clarity and lyrical poise of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Kegelstatt Trio. The evening culminates in Erno Dohnanyi's Sextet in C Major, a "mini-orchestral" masterwork that masterfully bridges late-Romantic passion with the witty, jazz-inflected spirit of a new era.

Screening | Interdisciplinary Artist Shares His Video Works (+ Q&A)
Enjoy a screening and Q&A with interdisciplinary artist Coleman Collins to discuss his video works, Specular Fiction and The Upper Room. Primarily derived from 3D scans of objects, and with a particular focus on digital replicas of West African architectural sites, Specular Fiction (2024) is a short, speculative narrative video that traces the complex relationships between seemingly dichotomous terms: original and copy; object and image; real and virtual space. In an imagined future of indeterminate distance, the objects of the world have been destroyed, leaving only the mirror-world of their digital replicas behind. The Upper Room (2025) traces the often destructive effects of mimetic desire through a narrative video essay that weaves together fact and speculative fiction. Drawing parallels between diasporic fantasies of return, gospel music, and 19th-century projects of nation-state building, The Upper Room examines the ways in which both real and imagined spaces are collectively produced.

He then performs Recipe for Staying Curious—a ritualized, recipe-shaped spoken-word piece that transforms kitchen practice into a framework for lifelong inquiry. Organized around intention, preparation, improvisation, iteration, and community, the performance invites participants to consider curiosity as both a discipline and a liberatory act. Following the talk, attendees will engage in a sensory exploration of spices and herbs—some sourced from regional farms—using touch, scent, and sound.

Talk | Renowned Artist Mary Frank Discusses the Connection between Art & Earth
Renowned artist Mary Frank reflects on the seamless connection between the planet and its inhabitants. Through the product of her hands she explores both the majesty and tragedy of human existence. Sustained by nature's incomparable beauty, her advocacy and activism is as much a part of her art as paint, canvas and clay. Over the course of Frank’s career, she has worked in many mediums and materials, most notably with her monoprints, drawings, sculpture, painting and photography, and has been the subject of numerous solo museum and gallery exhibitions over the years. As described by art critic John Yau, Frank paints “elemental worlds largely inhabited by women (men, plants and animals) who are maenads, oracles, winged creatures and warriors –solitary and self-sustaining beings…(her) photographs of tableaus, which she assembles out of a variety of works she has made in different mediums, are all in pursuit of further defining the conditions of a mythic world.”

Discussion | Explore the History & Legacy of the Art of Photography
This conversation will examine the ways in which the market for 19th-century photographs has evolved over the past 45 years. In discussion with Darius Himes, the International Head of Photographs for Christie’s, Kraus will reflect on the state of today’s market, particularly for early photographs, and the opportunities available to collectors. When Hans Kraus began as a photography dealer in 1980, attention was focused on the upcoming 150th anniversary of photography in 1989. Fox Talbot’s negative/positive process on paper and Daguerre’s direct positive on polished silver were both revealed in 1839. Today, we face another moment of transition while looking ahead to the medium’s bicentennial.

Film | Alfred Hithcock's The Trouble with Harry (1955): Technicolor Black Comedy
Harry's dead and, while no one really minds, everyone feels responsible. After Harry's body is found in the woods, several locals must determine not only how and why he was killed but what to do with the body. Based on the 1950 book of the same name. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Shirley MacLaine Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense," he became as famous as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing of the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations.

Lecture | Discover the Politics of Environmental Conservation in the Late Soviet Arctic (In Person AND Online!)
This talk will explore how the mechanical all-terrain tracks left on the tundra surface by geological prospectors, military personnel, and industrial workers in the late Soviet Arctic initially alarmed local Indigenous communities, then raised concerns among environmental conservationists, and ultimately became a key argument in transnational efforts to establish one of the first Arctic tundra nature reserves (known as a zapovednik in Russian) on the Taymyr Peninsula in 1978. To trace how these physical imprints on the ground scaled up into a global environmental concern, the author employs a metaphor used by Indigenous Nenets herders, who describe the tundra surface as an animal skin. This corporeal and tactile metaphor resonates with the visionary works on the biosphere that were formative for the academic conceptualization of planetary-level disruptions. The resulting entanglements of the local and the global in the politics of nature protection constitute the core of this research.

Kaṉparkanya - The Wanampi and Paltjuliri present a rare dual opportunity to experience the spiritual depth and visual élan of contemporary Australian Indigenous art from the remote outback community of Tjuntjuntjara in Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert. Expressing a rich trans-cultural dialogue, paintings by Presley and Hogan elegantly bridge the ancient ontological mappings of Spinifex Tjukurpa with the formal innovations of modernist abstraction.

Lecture | Explore the Life of Artist/Author/Songwriter Romare Bearden
For this talk, you'll get a look into the life of Romare Bearden(1911-1988), who was an American artist, author, and songwriter. He also produced cartoons, oils, and collages. Joining the army on the European front during World War II, he returned to Paris after the war to study art history at the Sorbonne on the GI Bill. In the 60s, he pulled away from abstract art and took up figurative collage work. Bearden was a well-read man and vitally aware of social problems in the USA. His images compare Black rural life in the South, where he was born, to urban life in the North, where he lived.

Lecture | Political Theorist Discusses Capitalism & Nature
In this talk, political theorist and writer Alyssa Battistoni explores capitalism’s persistent failure to value nature, arguing that the key question is not the moral issue of why some kinds of nature shouldn’t be commodified, but the economic puzzle of why they haven’t been. Capitalism consistently fails to place value on vital aspects of the nonhuman world, whether carbon emissions or entire ecosystems.

This conversation will be followed by a book signing, where copies will be available for purchase. As the best-known martial artist and one of the most celebrated action stars ever, Bruce Lee is a global icon. He symbolizes swagger, strength, and the unbeatable spirit of the underdog. But in more than fifty years since his untimely death at age thirty-two, the legend has eclipsed the real man. During his lifetime, Bruce fought to be seen—from Hong Kong to Hollywood, Asian tenements to American ghettos, the lonely garret to the international screen.

Experience a special literary conversation with Serang Chung, one of the most widely read and beloved voices in contemporary Korean literature.

Blending warmth, wit, and an attentive gaze toward human relationships, her stories explore how people continue to care for one another even in uncertain and fragile times. Beyond the page, she has reached global audiences through the Netflix adaptation of The School Nurse Files and her contribution to Star Wars: Visions Season 2, “Journey to the Dark Head.” A limited number of complimentary copies will be available at the event on a first-come, first-served basis.

In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, join survivor and Speakers Bureau member Celia Kener for a special public event. This annual observance encourages people to remember those who were lost and honor the stories of those who survived.
Born in 1935 in Lvov, Poland, Celia was just a young girl when the German invasion in 1941 shattered her family's world. Her father was drafted into the Russian army, and Celia, her mother, and her extended family were forced into the ghetto. When her mother was selected for a labor camp, weekend visits became their only connection. Fearing she might not survive, Celia's mother made the heartbreaking decision to place her with a childless Catholic couple who could keep her safe.
Ms. Kener will share her story, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

When combined with information about differences in the meaning of Classical-era notation, playing on historical instruments and equipment can result in chamber musicians making different interpretive decisions about tempo, affect, and phrasing, leading to performances that can be both vibrant and revelatory.

The past is critical to understanding current U.S. immigration. A new historical perspective shows that the stories, myths, and memories of the past color how we think of immigrants today. It also helps us understand contemporary nativism, distinguishes what is new from long-established patterns, reveals how legacies of earlier immigration shape the lives of present-day arrivals, and offers a fresh look at what lies ahead.

Discussion | Experts Discuss "Climate Migration"
This panel brings together Anna Stilz (UC Berkeley, Political Science), Sunil Amrith (Yale, History), and Leah Zamore (Zolberg Institute/The New School) to examine how each scholar and practitioner engages climate migration in their own work, and to interrogate what the concept names, what it obscures, and what it does in practice. “Climate migration” is now a central term in public debate—but also a contested one. Does it clarify urgent forms of movement in a warming world, or flatten distinct causes, responsibilities, and policy responses into one expansive category? What makes mobility intelligible as a specifically climatic phenomenon rather than as a question of development, inequality, land, or labor? And how does this language shape politics--enabling political planning and solidarity in some contexts, while in others provoking fear-driven reaction?

Opening Reception | On Foot: Photographic Journey Exhibition (+ Artist Discussion)
Experience Esther Levine’s exhibition On Foot, a photographic journey along an invisible line, following memories, family history, and stories Esther Levine grew up with. The story unfolds through landscapes, roadsides, and encounters alongside the path where nothing seems to happen, yet everything does. Each photograph marks a pause in the movement (act of walking). The walk follows a line that is both geographical and internal, tracing histories buried beneath the surface of the landscape. The repetition of views mirrors the rhythm of walking, slow attentive and accumulative. What emerges is not a document of a route, but a visual record of memory made tangible through the act of walking, noticing, seeing and recording. The exhibition opening will include a conversation between Esther Levine and Sarah Girner.

Discussion | Artist/Writer Discusses NYC's Artistic Movements of the 1980s & 1990s
Artist and writer Gregg Bordowitz will present a lecture followed by a conversation with Benoît Loiseau on the "French Theory" and New York's artists in the 80s and 90s. During the 1980s and 1990s, many New York artists felt a sense of permission granted by semiotic, structuralist, and post-structuralist theory read in English translations of works written in French by Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and many others. The wide-spread effects of these readings were both energizing and limiting. Artist Gregg Bordowitz recalls that so-called “French Theory” suggested artistic methods that did indeed result in genuine alternatives to established contemporary gallery practices. These alternatives were claimed by both artists and activists, combining a variety of different approaches—including visual arts, writing, performance, street activism, and models for institution-building—that defeated inherited distinctions among disciplines. Are those developments relevant to present circumstances? What can we learn from the past?

Lecture | Historical Researcher Explores the Life & Career of Gilded Age Artist Amalia Kussner
Author and historical researcher Kathleen Langone presents the full arc of artist Amalia Kussner's amazing life, many images of her stunning portraits, and some new research Ms. Langone has uncovered since publishing the Kussner biography. Throughout the latter half of the Gilded Age and up until WWI, Amalia Kussner was the sought after artist to render exquisite miniature portraits of many of the Who’s Who of that era. Her impressive list of portraits included, among many others: Edward VII, Mrs. Astor, Czar Nicholas II,Cecil Rhodes, and the Duchess of Marlborough (born Consuelo Vanderbilt). As she became more famous in the Edwardian Era, her popularity was compared with John Singer Sargent, and both their works were seen in the Royal Academy of Arts. But, paralleling her astonishing career, were scandals, such as a sudden and mysterious marriage in 1900, followed by a lawsuit whose contents were never revealed.

Opening Reception | Compounding Interest: Multi-Artist Exhibition on the Individual vs. the Collective
This exhibition by MFA Fine Arts students, Compounding Interest, explores how ideas, materials, and experiences accumulate through repetition and experimentation, reflecting the emotional threshold of graduating in turbulent times. The works on view are shaped by personal, societal, and geographical influences, revealing how individual perspectives are informed by broader collective conditions. Through processes of layering, revision, and sustained inquiry, small gestures evolve into complex visual statements that question authorship, responsibility, and belonging. Together, the exhibition invites reflection on the tension between the individual “I” and the collective “we,” considering how these artists negotiate identity, community, and agency at a moment of profound transition.

In Boundless, Xiao-Fen, an internationally acclaimed performer of the lute-like Chinese pipa, and Kytasty, a master of the Ukrainian zither-like bandura, join forces for an evening that defies classifications of border and era. In the spirit of the avant-garde improviser Derek Bailey, the string duo will mingle their respective instruments' venerable traditions to form a fresh and daring contemporary soundscape. Xiao-Fen’s composition “Xi Xi, Cuo Cuo (Wash and Rub)” reimagines the untold story of Chinese immigrants' relocation to the Mississippi Delta, while Kytasty’s “Travel Music” brings to life the journey of a rare bandura from Ukraine to Shanghai to Buenos Aires before finding its permanent home in New York City. Together, these two trailblazing musicians chart a luminous odyssey across personal histories, rich culture, and human connection. There are two ways to access this event: 1.

Book Discussion | Romantics Expert Discusses His New Book, Towards a Premodern Posthumanism (In Person AND Online!)
In this lecture, Professor Chad Cordova will be sharing insights from his recent book Towards a Premodern Posthumanism. What good is aesthetics in a time of ecological crisis? Toward a Premodern Posthumanism: Anarchic Ontologies of Earthly Life in Early Modern France shows that philosophical aesthetics contains unheeded potentialities for challenging the ontological subjection of nature to the human subject. Drawing on deconstructive, ecological, and biopolitical thought, Chad Córdova uncovers in aesthetics something irreducible to humanist metaphysics: an account of how beings emerge and are interrelated, responsive, and even response-able without reason or why.

Book Club | Discuss The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
Discuss The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon with likeminded readers. Book Synopsis: A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink.

Lecture | International Affairs Scholar Discusses Ukrainian Resistance over the Decades (In Person AND Online!)
In this talk, Eugene Finkel (Kenneth H. Keller Professor of International Affairs, Johns Hopkins SAIS) explores Russia’s centuries-long quest to dominate Ukraine, showing how imperial ambitions, nationalism, and Ukraine’s growing civic unity culminated in today’s war and its remarkable resistance. His book, Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine, uncovers the roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Ukraine is a key borderland between Russia and the West, and, following the rise of Russian nationalism in the nineteenth century, dominating Ukraine became the cornerstone of Russian policy. The Russian Empire, USSR and Putin’s Russia had long used violence to successfully crush Ukrainian efforts to chart a separate path. Today’s violence is just a more extreme version of Russia’s past efforts. But unlike in the past, the people of Ukraine have overcome their deep internal divisions, and this rise of civic Ukrainian nationalism explains the successful resistance to the invasion.

They will situate the fertility/migration nexus historically with respect to changes in labor markets, gender relations, family forms, consumer culture, and the general shape of capitalist life in wealthy countries. While migration is central to current political struggles, its relation to fertility has largely escaped notice. In all wealthy countries, a decades-long decline in fertility has become steeper in recent years. Everywhere, right-wing ideologues are trying to exploit the prospect of population decline.

Discussion | Panel Talk: Experts Discuss the Future of Art & Architecture Educationj
This session brings together educators and cultural leaders who have spent years thinking about what art and architecture education is becoming and how these pressures shape students, teachers, and communities. Art and architecture schools are experiencing profound strain. Tuition and student debt continue to rise. Humanities programs contract. Public institutions face political pressures. Private institutions face financial precarity. The result is a learning environment that often feels unstable, overstretched, and increasingly disconnected from the social and economic realities that students and faculty face.

Dancers, actors, and musicians from The Juilliard Green Club are thrilled to take the stage to present a multi-genre, immersive concert experience. "We ask our audience to consider our collective futures in the face of climate change amidst differences in background, class, resources, and geographical location. Artists have always looked either to the past or forward to an unknown future, often attempting to predict what awaits all of us with the knowledge that they have in their time. This need to consider our place and agency within a larger context is one [that] artists always struggle with; but today, it is something we all struggle with, as the choices necessary to guarantee a safe future are not in our hands. We will consider art that seeks out the past, present, and future of our Earth to answer the following question: how have artists considered their futures in the past, and what can we learn from them in imagining our own future?"

Don and Lina have been cast repeatedly as a romantic couple, but when their latest film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for the new singing part.

Her acting career spanned almost 70 years. Reynolds performed on stage and television and in films into her 80s. She was nominated for several Golden Globes, and a Tony Award.

Schaller's journals and letters, globe-spanning interviews, and two journeys into the field with the legendary scientist himself to trace his emergence as the founding father of modern wildlife conservation. Schaller and his wife, Kay, established a home in the jungle and came to share apes' rhythms and rules. After more than two years of immersive research--a groundbreaking methodology he would spend his life honing--Schaller transformed how the world viewed gorillas; they were not murderous brutes but tender creatures, and more like humans than any twentieth-century scientist had recognized. His mission to revolutionize our perceptions of wild animals would propel him across four continents and inspire generations of scientists.

Performance | //shrouded\\: Multi-Genre Living Poem Exploring Memory & Transformation
In this performance, multi-spirited Nigerian American choreographer, author, performance artist, and curator jaamil olawale kosoko's award-winning work is rooted in a complex interdisciplinary practice that merges theater, video, sculpture, and the exploration of queer Black theory. Their new work, //shrouded\\, is a living poem and performative ceremony that recasts the body as an archive of memory and transformation. Performed by kosoko and their ensemble of visionary collaborators, //shrouded\\ unfolds in a shifting veil of silks that conceal and reveal states of metamorphosis. As performers slip between presence and absence, mourning and joy, figure and shadow, kosoko dares to ask what it means to choose to go unseen—in an age shaped by surveillance and spectacle. A unique mash up of poetry, sound, and movement, //shrouded\\ invites audiences into the communal act of reimagining the future. This is a work in development performance. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Musical | The Elementary Spacetime Show: Surreal, Existential Musical (Ages 16+)
In the opening moments of The Elementary Spacetime Show, a young girl, Alameda, attempts to take her own life. She is drawn into a tunnel that deposits her into a liminal void somewhere between life and death. Alameda is faced with an awkward challenge: in order to die,she must play and win a game show. The girl clashes with a depressed mosquito, confronts her doppelgänger’s self-loathing, and adopts a piece of rhubarb as a confidante. Things only get stranger from there. Across the unfolding drama, a queer kinship builds between the unlikely friends she meets in limbo. The Elementary Spacetime Show is a touching and surreal new musical by Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer and lyricist César Alvarez, with a book by Alvarez and Emily Orling that offers possible answers about why we exist, even when you feel alone. Playbill says that Elementary Spacetime "bends the rules of space and time to grapple with suicide and the stigma tethered to it." Please note: This performance contains adult themes and strong language. Audience discretion is advised; this show is intended for ages 16+. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

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.
