Discussion | Human Rights Advocacy in Eurasia Seminar with Experts (In Person AND Online!)


Enjoy a panel discussion with political scientist Alexander Cooley, Human Rights Watch's Deputy Director of the Europe and Central Asia Division Rachel Denber, and Columbia Professor of International Relations Jack Snyder. In their advocacy and research work, human rights organizations understandably focus on making impact, broadly conceived, and articulating a "theory of change” to show how we get to that impact. Yet, in the increasingly closed political spaces of Eurasia where authoritarians now operate with a well-worn and hardened set of practices to stigmatize, counteract and monitor advocacy campaigns, it is not clear just how "impact" can be achieved. In this hybrid seminar, Rachel Denber and other expert practitioners will reflect upon how the shrinking space for human rights advocacy challenges us to rethink the definition of "impact," the renewed importance of research and documentation, and what types of interventions are possible from outside of countries where research and advocacy organizations have been banned and/or exiled.

Classical Music | Ensemble Works that Reflect on Lightness


The purpose of this ensemble concert is to ask how music, like language, can become weightless without losing meaning. Inspired by Italo Calvino’s reflections on “lightness” as an art of refinement rather than escape, the program traces a backward journey through the twentieth century, from fragility to form, from impermanence to continuity. Performers include Ginevra Petrucci, flute, Peter Arfsten, flute, Vlad Hontila, violin, Greg Luce, viola, Oliver Weston, cello, Milad Daniari, double bass, Matthieu Cognet, piano, and Oliver Xu, percussion. Program: Luciano Berio (1925-2003) Musica Leggera Mario Castelnuovo Tedesco (1895-1968) Divertimento Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942) Concertino Alfredo Casella (1883-1847) Barcarola et Scherzo Op.4 Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Quintet in C minor

Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. 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.

Film | Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds: Natural Horror Thriller with Tippi Hedren


A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all kinds suddenly begin to attack people. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Rod Taylor, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, Tippi Hedren 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. 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 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. Tippi Hedren is a retired actress. Initially a fashion model, appearing on the front covers of Life and Glamour magazines (among others), she became an actress after being discovered by director Alfred Hitchcock. Hedren achieved great praise for her work in two of his films, including The Birds, for which she won a Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year, and the psychological drama Marnie. She performed in over 80 films and television shows. Among other honors, her contributions to world cinema have been recognized with the Jules Verne Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She's also well-known for her animal rescue philanthropy.

Talk | Understanding Political Expression Online & Russia's "Foreign Agent" Label (In Person AND Online!)


Postdoctoral researcher Kristina Pedersen presents findings from a study that exploits the temporal variation in Russia’s “foreign agent” labelling to investigate how repression impacts political expression online in (1) the content produced by those labelled as political pariahs, and (2) user engagement with the “suspect” content. Using a quasi-experimental research design on over 200,000 YouTube videos and more than 100 million adjacent comments posted between 2014 and 2023, reserchers find that targeted actors not only retain their online presence but also increase their level of regime criticism. In contrast, users substantially reduce their comment engagement with the targeted creators’ content. These findings indicate that regime deterrence signals can effectively stifle online engagement with politically sensitive content while simultaneously fostering political dissent.

Lecture | Award-Winning Artist Talks on Her "Psychologically Charged" Paintings


Fall 2025 Alex Katz Chair in Painting Vera Iliatova gives an artist talk about her work: psychologically charged images that often depict women at instances of impending melodramas either with each other or within themselves, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty in the painterly mise-en-scène they are populating. As she moves through memory and time, Iliatova’s self-portraiture method anchors the dreamlike imagery of her paintings. She describes the vicissitudes of her younger self as “ciphers, stand-ins, imposters, and actresses.” The hybrid environments they inhabit mirror the changes in modern spaces; whether postindustrial cities, cryptic boarding schools, or suburban landscapes. Iliatova’s employment of naturism and emotive color schemes aid in an oscillation between the observational and, in the artist’s words “an anxious frenzied fête galante.” She intertwines elements of hyperrealism with fantastical narratives, weaving a tapestry that delves into the depths of memory, identity, and the subconscious.

Reading | Celebrate the Translation of Award-Winning Author Pierre Guyotat's Memoir, Idiocy (In Person AND Online!)


To mark the U.S. release of Pierre Guyotat’s, newly translated by Peter Behrman de Sinéty and forthcoming from the New York Review Books, enjoy an evening of readings and conversation exploring the legacy of the radical, experimental French writer. Published in French in 2018 and awarded the Prix Médicis (the French literary award), Idiocy is a searing autobiographical account of Guyotat’s formative years, his rebellion against familial and military authority, and his imprisonment during the Algerian War. Blending linguistic experimentation with a meditation on state violence, eroticism, and the possibility of artistic resistance, the memoir is both an indictment of colonial domination and the formal culmination of a literary vision that Edmund White once described as belonging to “one of the few geniuses of our day.”

Opening Reception | Multi-Artist Exhibtion: Monographs Inspired by Picture Library 


This event celebrates the multi-artist exhibition: Picture Library 2025, which features a selection of the School of Visual Arts' class of 2025’s Senior Monographs alongside books from the College’s Library that have inspired their work. This special edition of the show surveys all prior iterations of Picture Library from 2018 – 2024, collectively showcasing previously exhibited Senior Monographs along with their inspiration books in an adjacent reading room. Of the exhibition, department Chair, Joseph Maida, says, “We hope that this expanded version of Picture Library encourages visitors from the SVA community and beyond to spend time with pictures in books. One of the most impactful vehicles for circulating photographs to global audiences over the last two centuries, the printed image meaningfully endures in the digital age.”

Reading | Vigil & Readings of Resistance Writers/Activists: Gilles Deleuze, Frantz Fanon, & Pier Paolo Pasolini


In this vigil, the names Deleuze, Fanon, and Pasolini will be invoked not so much in their individual capacities, but as a collective force, a revolutionary assemblage. 2025 marks 100 years since the births of Gilles Deleuze and Frantz Fanon, and also 50 years since the murder of Pier Paolo Pasolini. More than a confluence of dates, this is a confluence of some of the most consequential contributions to renewed practices of liberation in critical thinking, art making, and anti-colonial, anti-fascist resistance. Organizers read selected texts from the three authors, vocalizing Deleuze's, Fanon's, and Pasolini's critical vigilance and vital militance, their belief in the world and in art as a powerful anti-fascist, anti-colonialist, and anti-homophobic weapon. The weapon, of course, always conceived as collective line of flight, as aberrant movement, as poetry, as music, as image, as a beautiful thing: life.

Author Reading | Art Historian Discusses Her New Book on Socially Engaged Public Art


Enjoy a talk by art historian/writer Katia Arfara on her new book, Curating the Commons: Socially Engaged Public Art. Since the 2008–2009 financial crisis, the subsequent uprisings in the Global South and the Occupy movements around the globe, artists have increasingly turned to socially engaged art to create new models of artistic production and community engagement. Arfara explores this shift through an in-depth study of performance-centered public projects she curated in Athens at a time when the city stood at the crossroads of sociopolitical, economic, and migration crises in the Global South. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s theories of social space and the right to the city, alongside current debates on the commons, Arfara proposes a slow curatorial approach in response to socio-ecological urgencies. Her book contributes to a broader effort to resist processes of exclusion and segregation and reclaim public space as a commons.

Discussion | Prize-Winning Writer Discusses His New Book, The Twilight of Bohemia: Westbeth and the Last Artists in New York


Celebrate Peter Trachtenberg’s The Twilight of Bohemia: Westbeth and the Last Artists in New York, as Trachtenberg appears in conversation with writer Francine Prose, artist Howard Michels and writer/curator Sur Rodney (Sur) to tackle the larger question of what “Downtown” means at this precarious cultural moment. Moderated by Ava Chin, American Studies Certificate Program. What is “Downtown” NYC? Is it the Abstract Expressionists’ West 9th Street, or the Soho and Tribeca of succeeding generations of artists? Is it the East Village of the St. Mark’s Poetry Project, the Nuyorican Poets’ Café or the Bowery of CBGB? Is it Williamsburg, Bushwick, or Ridgewood? Is Downtown synonymous with the avant-garde or any art movement in its nascency? Is it the interval between the time an art movement becomes a scene and the time it becomes a commodity?

Stories of footprints testify to colonialism, imperialism, and suppression but woven through them are histories of desire, persistence, mobility, and of lightness. In taking you on a series of journeys to understand why and what it means for our future, the book asks if it is yet possible to tread lightly on our world.

Classical Music | Sonatenabend: Juilliard Musicians Perform Sonata Masterpieces (In Person AND Online!)


An evening of sonatas showcasing the beauty and balance of the gender. This concert offers expressive interpretations of works from the Classical and Romantic repertoire. The Classical period in clkassical music is a specific era, generally from about 1750 to 1820, characterized by a shift from the complex counterpoint of the Baroque to a lighter, clearer style with more elegant and balanced forms. Key composers include Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (whose early works fall within this period). During this time, the symphony, string quartet, and piano emerged as dominant forms, and the orchestra grew in size, leading to new possibilities in texture and dynamics. Romantic-era of classical music (roughly 1800-1910) is known for its emphasis on emotional expression, individualism, and drama, diverging from the structured rules of the Classical period. Key composers include Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms, while iconic works like Chopin's "Nocturnes," Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," and Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" epitomize the era's passionate and expansive style.

Book Discussion | Understanding the Shared Idea of Progrees through the New Book, Progress & Regression


Rahel Jaeggi will be joined by Michele Moody-Adams (Columbia University), Jay Bernstein (The New School), and Jeff Flynn (Fordham University), for a panel discussion to celebrate the English translation of Jaeggi’s award-winning book, Progress and Regression. Progress and Regression: “argues that we are lost without a shared idea of progress. In the tradition of critical theory, Rahel Jaeggi defends a vision of progress that avoids Eurocentric and teleological distortions. Progress here is not an inevitable developmental trend but a kind of compass directing society’s never-ending journey toward emancipation. A nimble practitioner of dialectical reasoning, Jaeggi revitalizes progress by confronting its opposite: regression. Her analysis—sober and thoughtful, but urgent—reckons with the myriad signs of regression today, including growing inequality, ecological destruction, and above all the assault on educational institutions, critical thinking, and reason itself.”

Concert | Free Improvisation Performance: Live Sounds and Visuals


This event will engage with non-conventional structure and explore artistic material as something abstract. Taking the premise of a lecture by artist Richard Sides will show his work and draw from his own archives without style, known as free improvisation. Free improvisation is a form of music that rejects musical structure, or prefers spontaneity with a focus on the performer's intuition.

Talk | Hear from a Sculptor about Her Recent Public Project in NYC


Artist Torkwase Dyson and scholar Daphne A. Brooks discuss Akua, the artist’s first public project in New York City, and the sound research that bridges their respective crafts. Together, they will discuss Dyson’s architectural pavilion, on view in Brooklyn Bridge Park, as a porous encounter between sound, place, and history. The speakers will connect Brooks’s academic chronicling of Black female musicians to the seismic sonic landscapes found in Dyson’s compositions for Akua.  Seating is first come, first served, so please arrive early. Your registration does not guarantee a seat. Doors will close at 6:45pm.

Jazz | Homage to Poland's Legendary "Bikini Boys" & Polish Jazz Classics


Musicans pay homage to Poland's legendary "Bikini Boys", who embraced American musical styles in defiance of official communist doctrine, at this special concert featuring original interpretations of Polish jazz classics and their own compositions. These musicians present original interpretations of the band's work, alongside jazz standards and their own compositions--offering a fresh and dynamic take on both classic and contemporary jazz. The term "Bikini Boys" was coined in postwar Poland as a nickname--sometimes with irony, sometimes with admiration--for a new generation of jazz musicians boldly embracing American musical styles in defiance of official doctrine. At the time, jazz was seen by the communist authorities as a dangerous Western influence: decadent, bourgeois, and ideologically subversive. Yet, despite censorship and repression, these artists found ways to explore and perform jazz, whether in clandestine clubs or within the limits of state-approved dance orchestras--often disguising artistic innovation as mere entertainment.

Screening | Terrorists in Retirement (1983): Controversial French Documentary


Considered too controversial to be shown on French TV when first released - after its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in 1983, it is the story of men and women from Armenia, Poland, and Romania, mostly Jews, who fought the German occupation of Paris during World War II. Most infamously, there were 21 members of the Manouchian Group, who were part of the FTP-MOI (Francs-tireurs et partisans - main-d'oeuvre immigree), the immigrant section of the French Resistance.

Book Discussion | Experts Discuss How the Internet Affects the Economy


The legal scholar and former White House official Tim Wu examines how today’s tech giants extract wealth from ordinary citizens and deepen America’s class divide.  In his new book, The Age of Extraction, Tim Wu explores how the internet has instead fueled the rise of new economic hierarchies and widened the wealth gap and deepened inequality. Wu, who famously coined the term “net neutrality,” charts the ascent of dominant tech platforms, the extraordinary power they wield, and the unprecedented ways they extract wealth, data, and attention from us all—reshaping both our economy and our society. Wu will be in conversation with Lina Khan, former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, to discuss how society can reclaim control of our digital lives to build a fairer, more balanced economy.

Lecture | Expert Explores the Cognitive Benefits of Language Learning in Older Adults (In Person AND Online!)


Neurocognitive processes of language, cognition, and aging expert in Dr. Ladan Ghazi Saidi presents a talk on the Plastic Aging Brain: Language Learning as Cognitive Intervention in Older Adults. While the cognitive benefits of lifelong bilingualism are well-documented, the impact of acquiring a new language in later life remains relatively underexplored. Over the past five years, Dr. Saidi's team has conducted multiple behavioral and neuroimaging studies investigating the cognitive and neural outcomes of language learning in monolingual older adults as a non-pharmacological intervention for healthy cognitive aging. Behavioral and neuroimaging findings consistently demonstrate that new language learning in older adults leads to measurable improvements in cognitive control, including enhanced performance on global cognition, as well as executive function tasks and is associated with neuroplasticity in prefrontal and other cortical regions implicated in executive processing. The cognitive benefits appear to be moderated by factors such as intervention engagement and engagement time.

Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo's leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today's geopolitical climate. Director: Johan Grimonprez

Gallery Talk | Learn about the Art of F. Edwin Church


Enjoy an illustrated talk about the life and art of F. Edwin Church (1876–1975), presented by Janice L. Wiley, director of the F. Edwin Church Catalogue Raisonné Project. Despite sharing a name with the famous American landscape painter, Church became a celebrated artist in his own right. He chose to sign his paintings “F. Edwin Church” to distinguish himself professionally as he endeavored to create his own artistic identity. Rooted in the traditions of Impressionism and Japonisme, Church’s work nevertheless reflects modern life in the 20th century. Critics praised his opulent portraits of women in contemporary fashions blended with elements of Japanese art and design. He also found inspiration in the world around him, filling his canvases with vibrant flowers, birds, and urban and natural landscapes he encountered abroad and on Long Island.

Program: Doppelselbstmord ("Plot", 30 min.): The country boy Poldl and the country girl Agerl are in love, and want to get married, but their fathers are enemies since many years, and against their relationship.

Author Reading | New Yorker  Journalist Discusses His New Book, The Spinach King


Longtime New Yorker journalist John Seabrook tells the tale of his own prominent family, which rose to riches and high-class status thanks to...creamed spinach. In his latest book, a New York Times Editor’s Choice, The Spinach King, he recounts the details of the “shocking but juicy” story. The founder of the family fortune, industrial farmer C.F. Seabrook, was known as “the Henry Ford of agriculture”. His son Jack, a keen businessman, was poised to take over what Life called “the biggest vegetable factory on earth.” But the Seabrooks’ carefully cultivated facade—glamorous outings in horse-drawn carriages, luxurious wine cellars, and movie star girlfriends—hid dark secrets that led to the implosion of the family, and its business. As compelling and nuanced as Succession, The Spinach King is “a tremendous tale” (Financial Times), a compulsively readable story of class and privilege, betrayal and revenge.

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.

Symposium | Curatorial Conference Exploring Cultural Questions behind National Exhibition Formats (In Person AND Online!)


LAAAAAND: Curating Another Nation is a symposium gathering a diverse assembly of curators and artists. It is a panel discussion that will explore how art and curatorship can respond to this new and hazardous cultural context. Introduced by Peter N. Miller, President of the American Academy in Rome, a panel of curators and artists is invited to respond to a series of interconnected questions. The discussion is moderated by art critic and curator Nikki Columbus. In the first session of the panel, Jenny Lin and Dare Turner will draw from their research to explore how artists and curators can engage with the symbols of national identity.  In the second session, Francesco Urbano Ragazzi will examine how to curate a national exhibition without falling into nationalist rhetoric.  In the third and final section of LAAAAAND, Anton Vidokle and Claire Tancons will reflect on the role of the national dimension, positioned between the global ambition of art and its need to take root within specific territorial contexts.  Ultimately, is it possible to conceive of national exhibition formats as instruments of resistance, or does their original mission compromise them from the start? In an era when nationalist worldviews are dangerously on the rise, LAAAAAND: Curating Another Nation is an effort to reclaim a conversation about the possible forms of human coexistence.

Author Reading | Historian Shares His New Book, The Spirit of Socialism: Culture and Belief at the Soviet Collapse (In Person AND Online!)


Joseph Kellner, historian of Russia and the Soviet Union at the University of Georgia, presents his recently-published book, The Spirit of Socialism: Culture and Belief at the Soviet Collapse. It is a new—and perhaps the first--cultural history of the Soviet collapse and transition, which examines the highly visible flourishing of new worldviews that attended the period’s cascading crises. Amidst profound disorientation, millions of former-Soviet people, mostly of the educated urban middle class, sought new direction in their horoscopes, or behind gurus in saffron robes or apocalyptic preachers, or by turning from the most basic premises of official science and history to orient themselves anew. From this spirited search for meaning, the book appraises both the nature of late Soviet culture and ideology, and its legacy in the newborn Russian Federation.

Screening | The Infinite Race: Short Documentary on Mexico's Indigenous  Rarámuri Community (+ Director Q&A)


The Infinite Race is a short documetnary that follows an annual marathon in Mexico's Copper Canyon, where the indigenous Rarámuri—renowned for their endurance—compete in a grueling long-distance race. Founded in 2004, the event honors Rarámuri traditions and supports the community, including essential corn vouchers. With stunning cinematography and intimate access to the runners, the film explores tensions beneath the race: cultural appropriation, economic pressures, and the threat of drug cartels. When violence threatens the next race, the complexities of the organizers and the global spotlight come into focus. Amid these challenges, the film offers a vivid portrait of a resilient people whose connection to land and tradition endures—race or no race, the Rarámuri continue to run.

Lecture | Philosophy Expert Discusses the Misunderstood Legacy of Descartes


This lecture by philosopher expert Christia Mercer asks (and answers) the question, "If Descartes is not the father of modern philosophy, then what is he?" For generations, students have been told that Descartes invented the modern subjective individual and that his pivot to subjectivity was made possible by his innovative use of an evil deceiver whose powers can make false beliefs seem true. Descartes' doubter despairs until he grasps an indubitable truth: he is “a thinking thing.” The modern subjective individual seems miraculously born with a deceiving demon as its midwife. Professor Mercer argues in her lecture that this thrilling story is false, an invention of so-called enlightenment figures, who turned Descartes into a harbinger of their insights. She discusses the late medieval women who were the source of Descartes’ demon strategy, before asking “well, then, what is the significance of Descartes?”  Christia Mercer is the Gustave M. Berne Professor of Philosophy, Director of Just Ideas, editor of Oxford Philosophical Concepts, co-editor of Oxford New Histories of Philosophy, and former chair of Lit Hum.

Zipperstein and Peter Cole about the enduring legacies of Roth and Bialik, led by Edward Hirsch. In his newly published biography of Roth (1933-2018), Philip Roth: Stung by Life, Zipperstein explores the complex life and astonishing work of one of America's most celebrated novelists. Roth wrote with relentless ambition, producing a wide-ranging body of work--from Goodbye, Columbus to American Pastoral--that grappled with sex, identity, and American Jewishness. In On the Slaughter, translated and introduced by MacArthur-winning poet Peter Cole, the poetry of Hayim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934) emerges with renewed force. Bialik transformed Hebrew literature, bridging traditional Jewish thought with modern humanism. This compact collection reveals a poet far more politically and psychologically unsettling than his image as a national icon suggests.

Film | Frank Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939): Political Comedy-Drama with James Stewart


A naive youth leader is appointed to fill a vacancy in the U.S. Senate. His idealistic plans promptly collide with corruption at home and subterfuge from his hero in Washington, but he tries to forge ahead despite attacks on his character. Director: Frank Capra Cast: Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Claude Rains, Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee Frank Capra was an Italian-American film director, producer, and screenwriter who was the creative force behind several major award-winning films of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles from the age of five, his rags-to-riches story has led film historians such as Ian Freer to consider him the "American Dream personified". Capra became one of America's most influential directors during the 1930s, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director from six nominations. James Stewart was an American actor known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona. Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality, which he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors. He received numerous honors including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985.

Book Discussion | Discuss Gwendolyn Brooks' Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poem, "The Anniad"


For this poetry discussion meeting, the group will discuss Gwendolyn Brooks’ Pulitzer Prize winning 1949 poem, "The Anniad." This long form poem was originally published within Brooks’ second poetry collection, Annie Allen.    “The Anniad” plays with the form of the ancient epic, transposing it to working-class Black Chicago. By subverting the traits of the heroes of ancient epic, Brooks stakes a claim that the form can apply to Black women’s lives. Brooks was the first African American to win the Pulitzer prize, and she also held the title of U.S. Poet Laureate. You can also find a PDF copy at the link provided. Please bring a printed copy to the discussion; the group will be doing close readings and analysis of the poem.

Galindo is, in Loris Romano words, “an artist who pushes herself beyond her own limits, through performances which are radical, unsettling and ethically discomfiting."

Lecture | Understanding Fictional Encycopedism in Modern & Postmodern Literature


Enjoy an explanation of fictional encyclopedism by researcher, professor, and author Pierpaolo Antonello.  Critics have observed that an “encyclopedic complex” or “encyclopedic impulse,” frequently marked by irony and satire, has informed both modernist and postmodernist literature, from Joyce to Pynchon. While usually linked to the vast architecture of maximalist novels or opere-mondo, this lineage also runs through short, fragmentary, and eccentric texts that resist clear generic classification. In such works, the encyclopedic is refracted through epigrammatic form, with flashes of taxonomic excess, where the discursive frameworks of the sciences are repurposed for arbitrary, imaginary, and parodic schemes of classifications. This lecture examines this genealogy through intermedial instances of fictional encyclopedism, concentrating on Leo Lionni’s Parallel Botany (1976) and Luigi Serafini’s Codex Seraphinianus (1981). Both works conjoin scientific discourse, visual art, and imaginary taxonomy, and interrogate the fantastic through parodic and satirical registers. They exemplify not only the ekphrastic tendencies of contemporary encyclopedism but also a form of “rational fantastic” that exceeds Tzvetan Todorov’s genre definition, reconfiguring encyclopedism as an open, generative aesthetic: a combinatory mechanism for the invention of possible worlds.

The question of what it means to be human is at the center of public discourse surrounding our interactions with so-called artificial intelligence, presenting a critical opportunity for feminist and anti-racist anthropology. This talk engages with the current moment of meaning-making in the face of emerging technologies to revisit postcolonial, decolonial, and Black studies critiques of the human and of post-Enlightenment reason. These fields have long worked to recover submerged, silenced, or otherwise erased histories of the colonized, offering alternative accounts of who counts as a subject and what forms of life are possible.

Author Reading | Rare Book Curator Shares Her New Book about Design in Interwar Vienna


Dr. Michelle Jackson-Beckett, Cooper Hewitt Library’s Curator of Rare Books, talks about her recent book: Vienna and the New Wohnkultur, 1918-1938. Her book examines interior design exhibitions, press, and debates about modern living in interwar Vienna and analyzes the varied interpretations of modern domestic culture. Jackson-Beckett draws connections between interwar Viennese design culture and important concepts that appear more prominently later in the 20th century, such as user experience, spatial psychology, and environmental psychology.

Returning lecturer and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Professor Jerald T. Milanich discusses the extraordinary Belle Glade Archaeological Culture of South Florida, which began approximately 1000 BCE. In the 1960s, Florida Atlantic University archaeologist William Sears excavated Fort Center—named for a 19th century U.S. military outpost on the west side of Lake Okeechobee. Recently, archaeologists have utilized LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to locate and interpret the many mounds, embankments, canals, and other earthworks of the Belle Glade region.

Author Reading | Historians & Writer Discuss Lamentations of Nezahualcóyotl: Nahuatl Poems


Scholar Ilan Stavans and writer Jordan Salama discuss the recently retold songs and poems of Aztec king, poet, and warrior Nezahualcóyotl and his illustrious 15th century court, based on the new book Aztec king Nezahualcóyotl was a revolutionary far ahead of his time. Born in 1402, the ruler—whose name means “hungry coyote” in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl—led the city-state of Texcoco through its age of enlightenment. His four-decade reign was among the most transformative and prosperous eras of the Aztec Empire. Today he is a hero in Mexico, seen as a mysterious, powerful, anti-colonial figure. Brimming with anguish and longing, this epic collection of songs and poems was composed by Nezahualcóyotl with members of his illustrious court.

Classical Music | Acclaimed Composer & Musician Ljova's Original Works a New Instrument: The Fadolín (In Person AND Online!)


Ljova's (Lev Zhurbin) solo project, “Enter the Fadolín” introduces a new instrument into the classical cannon -- the fadolín — that combines the range of the violin, viola and most of the cello, in one unique sonority. Since 2020, Ljova has been building a repertoire for the unaccompanied fadolín, adapting music by J.S. Bach (originally written for the keyboard), Bach's Irish contemporary Turlough O’Carolan (originally performed on the folk harp), a popular theme by Dvořák originally written for the orchestra, and many pieces written especially for this unique, haunting new instrument, by Ljova himself. Ljova divides his time between composing for the concert stage, contemporary dance & film, leading his own ensemble LJOVA AND THE KONTRABAND, performing with and composing for TRIO FADOLÍN, as well as a busy career as a fadolínist, violist, and musical arranger. Among recent projects is a film score for the National Geographic, commissions from the City of London Sinfonia, The Louisville Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma and the Silkroad Ensemble, Brooklyn Rider, The Knights, Sybarite5 and A Far Cry, as well arrangements for the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, conductors Gustavo Dudamel and Alondra de la Parra, songwriters Ricky Martin, Natalia Lafourcade and Carlos Vives.

Talk | Artist & Theorist Discusses Her "Dark Play" Creative Process


In this talk, artist and theorist Aliza Shvarts will discuss the broader arc of her practice, and explore how "dark play" can offer an aesthetic and political strategy to navigate increasing forms of censorship. Performance theorist Richard Schechner describes “dark play” as the condition when the performer knows they are performing, but the audience does not. The term also invokes the “dark arts” or clandestine powers attributed to witches as reproductive criminals: women who, as described by Marxist feminist Silvia Federici, not only often helped others manage their reproductive health, but whose speech—insofar as they possessed the power to cast spells or curses—possessed the power to act.  The talk with be followed by a Q&A led by NYU Performance Studies Department Chair and Professor Ann Pellegrini and a reception.

Opening Reception | Exploring Life in East Germany through Harald Hauswald's Photography


Experience the opening of Harald Hauswald: Life in East Germany, an exhibition of Harald Hauswald’s photographic work, curated by photographer Martin Schoeller. The exhibition opening will include an artist talk between Harald Hauswald and Martin Schoeller. Harald Hauswald is one of the most important East German photographers who captured the everyday reality of life in the German Democratic Republic in the late 1970s and 80s with empathy, humor, and precision. The exhibition provides an unembellished look at what life in East Germany looked like before the fall of the Berlin Wall, juxtaposing an often ironic view of the public sphere with intimate glimpses at the private and inner worlds of the GDR’s citizens. A self-proclaimed “chronicler of the East,” Hauswald was constantly observing the system, which in turn was surveilling him. From 1978 until the fall of the Berlin Wall, Hauswald was under constant surveillance by the Stasi, and the contents of his Stasi file are included in this exhibition, highlighting the powerful ways in which Hauswald’s images created an unofficial counter archive to dominant state-propagated ideology and narratives. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16, 2026.

Talk | Learn about Recent German Right-Wing Fiction with Experts


As a genre, the novel seems ill-suited to the whims of the 21st century. What once made writers praise the novel as quintessentially modern—its discursive capaciousness, its ability to incorporate other genres within itself—appears less impressive in the digital age, where new forms are constantly being produced and character-limits reign king. As many a cultural critic has lamented, no one has the attention span to finish a novel anymore. Even if we set aside our current obsession with AI and social media, the novel still seems constitutionally ill-suited to political messaging. The very act of reading a novel stagnates political action: reading takes time, of course, but also demands isolation and a retreat from collective life. And yet, even today, writers are still turning to the novel as a tool for political persuasion. What do these novels understand themselves to be doing? How do they work? By investigating recent political novels in German, especially from the far right, this talk argues that the contemporary political novel is preoccupied with the question of its own efficacy.

Author Reading | Columbia Writing Professor Celebrates His New Book, Vera or Faith


Columbia Writing Professor Gary Shteyngart reads from his latest book, Vera or Faith: A Novel. Followed by a conversation with Professor Bruce Robbins, English and Comparative Literature. Synopsis: The Bradford-Shmulkin family is falling apart. A very modern blend of Russian, Jewish, Korean, and New England WASP, they love one another deeply but the pressures of life in an unstable America are fraying their bonds. There’s Daddy, a struggling, cash-thirsty editor whose Russian heritage gives him a surprising new currency in the upside-down world of twenty-first-century geopolitics; his wife, Anne Mom, a progressive, underfunded blue blood from Boston who’s barely holding the household together; their son, Dylan, whose blond hair and Mayflower lineage provide him pride of place in the newly forming American political order; and, above all, the young Vera, half-Jewish, half-Korean, and wholly original. Observant, sensitive, and always writing down new vocabulary words, Vera wants only three things in life: to make a friend at school; Daddy and Anne Mom to stay together; and to meet her birth mother, Mom Mom, who will at last tell Vera the secret of who she really is and how to ensure love’s survival in this great, mad, imploding world.

Conference | Learn about Visual Arts & the Figure of "The Worm"


Worms for Brains is a graduate student conference that takes up “the worm” as a subject and paradigm for studying visual arts. Like a compost pile, where heterogeneous materials intermingle and decompose into nutrient-rich soil, the conference will combine varied perspectives from Art History, Arts Education, Film and Media Studies, Musicology, and Performance Studies.  Panels will examine place-making through participation, the worm's-eye view, and critical methodologies as grunt. Presentations will wiggle between sonic, visual, and textual elements of worms both as a subject and as a theoretical springboard.

When a young girl makes a shocking discovery about the history of her family, she embarks on a challenging quest to reunite with loved ones she's never met. Weaving a little-known Brothers Grimm tale with the experiences of child migrants, refugees, unaccompanied minors, and displaced youth across the globe, The Seven Ravens explores the meaning of home, the love of family, and the lengths to which a child may go to build bridges to her own lost past. A playful, imaginative, and visually arresting work, The Seven Ravens celebrates the resilience, imagination, resourcefulness, and tenacity of children living through displacement, separation, and dreams of reunion in the face of great odds, shedding light on one of today's most pressing sociopolitical issues through the lenses of allegory, fantasy, and play.

Concert | Multi-Genre Harp Creations


Don’t miss Los Angeles-based harpist Mary Lattimore, an in-demand artist as a soundtrack composer/performer and as a session musician, well known for her work alongside a bevy of famous folk rock, indie, and electronic experimental musicians including Steve Gunn, Thurston Moore, and Julianna Barwick. The New Yorker calls Lattimore's solo work "complex and expansive, songs that evoke seismic emotional shifts... not so much music to zone out to as music to self-actualize by." Collaboration remained at the heart of her work, showing up in the form of joint creations with Superchunk's Mac McCaughan, as well as in contributions from members of Slowdive and The Cure on her 2023 album Goodbye, Hotel Arkada. She will play music from that album and from across her already impressive career. 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.

You’ll be sure to love his unusually geeky A/V presentation (like a TED talk for kids!) of some of the most bizarre animals that roam the planet, odd and daring characters, and vehicles you never knew existed—using such odd-ball instruments as the theremin, claviola, and stylophone.

Lotty Rosenfeld: Disobedient Spaces is the first solo retrospective of Rosenfeld's practice in the U.S. and illuminates her many contributions to critical dialogues about public space, from large-scale video projections to her iconic street intervention One Mile of Crosses on the Pavement (1979), in which she crossed the white directional lines of roads.

Staged Reading | New Play Adaptation: Internee Number 6


Experience a reading of Nurit Chinn’s (UK) new play in development, Internee Number 6, followed by a panel with Chinn and Natalia Indrimi, the Executive Director of the Primo Levi Center. Internee Number 6 is a theatrical adaptation of a memoir by the same name, written by Maria Eisenstein and first published in 1944. It was largely written in the summer of 1940. The play, adapted by Nurit Chinn, explores the little-known experiences of Jewish women imprisoned in Fascist internment camps in Italy during the Holocaust. It follows Eisenstein and other foreign Jewish women as they navigate daily life in the camp ran by Italian fascists—forming friendships, staging quiet acts of rebellion, and grappling with profound uncertainty as Hitler’s forces advance across Europe. The script draws almost entirely from Eisenstein’s original text, the earliest known memoir written from inside an Italian Fascist internment camp.

Lecture | Understanding the Food Painted in Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper


Enjoy a gastro-philosophical and socio-political angle of looking at The Last Supper. In 1494-98, Leonardo da Vinci painted what is arguably the most famous painting of all times, The Last Supper. And he graces the Lord’s Table—inevitably a Jewish meal—with dishes of eels, a Renaissance delicacy but clearly a non-kosher food. Why? Italian essayist, editor, translator and award-winning poet Luigi Ballerini explores the context of real food beginning to be painted in Last Suppers in the second half of the 15th century, as a result of the liceity of pleasure, resurrected by Florentine Humanists’ reading of Classical Texts (primarily Lucretius and Aristotle), which, in ever larger quantities and surprising varieties, remains a staple of that painterly subject throughout the 16th century. And a hypothesis is formulated about da Vinci’s painting that transcends the painter’s minimalistic gastronomic interests, as well as his incessant scientific curiosity.

Book Discussion | Facebook Co-Founder Examines the Unseen Politics of American Capitalism (Online!)


Economist, writer, and co-founder Chris Hughes presents his new book Marketcrafters: The 100-Year Struggle to Shape the American Economy. For decades, policymakers have claimed that free markets thrive best when government stays out of the way. Hughes argues the opposite: that American leaders across the political spectrum have long been “marketcrafters,” intentionally shaping markets to serve social and political goals. Through vivid historical examples, he reveals how decisions about inflation, industry, innovation, and climate have all been guided by deliberate design rather than invisible forces. This program includes a discussion and audience Q&A. The first 100 registrants will receive a complimentary electronic copy of Marketcrafters.

Book Club | Discuss A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles


In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose

Lecture | Economist Discusses Crypto's Impact on U.S. & Global Finance


Dr. Epstein from the Department of Economics and Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) at UMASS/Amherst, will present his paper :" Too Much Crypto? The Political Economy of the Crypto Economy". Finance, especially in the United States, is entering a new era. It is becoming more deeply entwined with and perhaps even dominated by the “tech” industry. Of course, financial innovation has often occurred hand in hand with innovations in communications and now digitization. However, with the technological innovation and the political rise of crypto, AI, and high-tech billionaires, especially in the US under the Trump administration, we must consider whether there is now, or will soon become, “Too much ‘Crypto’”, where ‘crypto’ is a shorthand for the marriage of tech, finance, and fossil fuel. This paper explores the nature of this new form of high fossil-fueled finance. This talk analyzes its likely impact on growth and distribution in the US and the dangers it might pose for the rest of the world.

Why, despite the number of women at Soyuzkinochronika (the state documentary studio), did a distinct women’s documentary movement never take hold? And what does their experience tell us about gender, authorship, and professional identity in Stalinist cinema?

Filiz Garip, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University whose research lies at the intersection of migration, economic sociology and inequality, presents a talk on Predictability of Human Mobility Across Borders.  Between 1965 and 2015, over 12 million Mexicans have crossed the border into the United States. Experts use the largest survey data on this flow from the Mexican Migration Project, which covers 160,000 people observed over 50 years. They explore the predictability of about 20,000 documented and undocumented migration decisions with supervised machine learning. They consider how predictability varies across different decision windows, time periods, and geographic regions. They also explore what failures in predictions can teach us about migration behavior and migration policy.

Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Jessie Royce Landis 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.

His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations. A well-known figure of Classic Hollywood, Cary Grant was nominated twice for the Academy Award, received an Academy Honorary Award, and received the Kennedy Center Honor.

Book Discussion | Translator Discusses Classic German Book, Effingers


Translator Sophie Duvernoy will discuss Gabriele Tergit and her underrated masterpiece, Effingers—woefully underrated when it first appeared in 1951, and only recently rediscovered in Germany—with Noah Isenberg. Gabriele Tergit’s Effingers is a novel, at once epic and intimate, about the lives and fates of three generations of a German Jewish family. Beginning in 1878 and ending in 1948, readers follow the Effingers, a family of modest craftsmen from southern Germany, who soon rise to prominence as one of the most important German industrialist families in Berlin. With the outbreak of World War I, however, they fall on hard times and must navigate the tumultuous changes of the Weimar Republic. Full of parties and drama and delicious gossip, and featuring a kaleidoscopic cast of characters, Effingers is a keenly observed account of German Jewish life in all its richness and complexity. Tergit's precise and limpid prose dazzles in Sophie Duvernoy's elegant translation.

Book Discussion | Experts Discuss Their New Books about Russia's Economic & Digital Trajectories (In Person AND Online!)


Attend a joint book talk featuring Françoise Daucé and Olessia Kirtchik, who both authored books on Russia’s economic and digital trajectories. Political sociologist Françoise Daucé will share her new book, Digital Authoritarianism in the Making: Repression and Resistance on the Russian Internet. This book reveals the policies regulating the Runet, resituating them within their historical context starting in the early 2010s and ending with the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine in February 2022. It offers a political sociology of the Russian digital space, including the variety of actors who have sought to occupy it: access providers, developers, journalists, activists, web professionals, and mobilized citizens. Sociologist Olessia Kirtchik will share her new book, Economic Knowledge in Crisis: Economists and the State in the Late Soviet Union. This book aims to shed new light on the puzzle of the late Soviet conversion to the “market” and capitalism by revisiting the history of Soviet reform economics. Using a variety of sources, including interviews with economists, archival files, and published materials, it examines the social contexts in which economists employed in economic administration and research institutions could have played a crucial public and political role, the forms of their participation, and the social and political logic behind the selection of economic experts and their rise to power during perestroika and the “transition” period.

Rubin is the force behind the republication of The Third Reich of Dreams, the lost rights of which she discovered while researching her forthcoming film about Beradt. She will be joined in conversation by Gal Beckerman, senior books editor of The Atlantic and author of the National Jewish Book Award-winning When They Come For Us We’ll Be Gone: The Epic Struggle to Save Soviet Jewry.

Book Discussion | Writers Discuss James Baldwin's Life & Legacy (In Person AND Online!)


The author of a new biography of James Baldwin, Nicholas Boggs, speaks with New York Times columnist John McWhorter. Baldwin: A Love Story, the first major biography of James Baldwin in three decades, reveals how profoundly the writer's personal relationships shaped his life and work. Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on the complex forces within these relationships -- cultural, political, artistic, and erotic -- and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that spoke truth to power, indelibly impacting the Civil Rights Movement and Black and queer literary history. Boggs speaks about the revealing new biography with John McWhorter, a columnist for The New York Times, author of the bestselling Nine Nasty Words and Woke Racism, and professor of linguistics at Columbia University.

Talk | Multidisciplinary Artist Discusses His Craft & How He Plays with Narrative & Truth


Vishal Jugdeo is a multidisciplinary artist. His work across video, installation, performance, sculpture and text experiments with narrative, blurring fiction and truth. His recent films emerge from amassments of intimately gathered video and sound, which chart the ebbs and flows of his friendships with interlocutors. In doing so, the works track broader political histories as they unfold often through a lens that is both queer and diasporic. He is engaged in long-term research projects in Guyana, India, and in Los Angeles, where he lives and works. Recent screenings and exhibitions have occurred at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CCA Berlin, Cinema Akil, Dubai, and Commonwealth and Council Gallery in LA. Jugdeo is a 2015 Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and a 2025 Creative Capital recipient.

At this discussion, the group will analyze and talk about Making Things Better by Anita Brookner. Facing life alone at an advanced age, Julius Herz cannot shake the sense that he should be elsewhere, doing other things. Walking through bustling streets that seem increasingly alien to him, he’s confronted by life’s pressing questions with an urgency he has never known before: what do we owe the people in our lives? How should we fill our days? Feeling fortified despite the growing ache in his heart, Herz finds himself also blessed with a stirring sense of exhilaration. After a lifetime of deferring to others’ stronger wills, he faces a future of possibility, the only constraint the deeply ingrained habits of his mind.

Architectural historian and author Andrew Alpern explores the remarkable career of Emery Roth, the architect behind some of New York City’s most iconic apartment buildings, including the San Remo, the Beresford, and the Ritz Tower. Spanning from Beaux-Arts grandeur to Art Deco elegance, Roth’s work helped define urban luxury living in the early 20th century.

Opera | Two Operatic Sequences in Concert: Turandot & Puzzles and Games at Lincoln Center (In Person AND Online!)


In one evening of two operas, audiences will travel from an early 20th-century European reinterpretation of an Italian fairytale set in China (Turandot), to a 21st-century musical dreamscape born of British literature and Asian-American collaboration (Puzzles and Games).   Turandot: Ferruccio Busoni (1917; concert version 1971) Libretto by Philipp Jarnach A striking fairytale pairing from two very different worlds. Busoni’s urbane, witty Turandot, based on Carlo Gozzi’s 18th-century play and steeped in commedia dell’arte tradition, receives a rare outing in its 1971 concert version. Puzzles and Games: Unsuk Chin (2017; from 2007 opera Alice in Wonderland) Libretto by David Henry Hwang Puzzles and Games is a fantastical sequence drawn from Unsuk Chin's acclaimed 2007 opera Alice in Wonderland, with a libretto by Tony Award–winner David Henry Hwang.

Colloquium | Explore the Intersection of Democracy & Psychiatry (In Person AND Online!)


In what ways can the critics of psychiatry and psychiatric institutions teach us new ways of thinking about democracy today? This colloquium will attempt to answer this question by reflecting on both historical and contemporary approaches to the psychiatric institution. Speakers will discuss in particular the figure of Franco Basaglia, the prominent Italian psychiatrist who sought to revolutionize his own discipline and practice, and who inspired the so-called Legge Basaglia (1978), which ultimately led to the closure of psychiatric hospitals in Italy, long regarded as sites of socio-economic oppression. Basaglia also founded an association of psychiatrists— Psichiatria Democratica (Democratic Psychiatry)—whose very name signals the deep interconnection he envisioned between psychiatry and democracy. The colloquium will approach these complex issues from both inside and outside psychiatry: the parentheses around “(Anti)” in the title are meant to suggest precisely this ambiguity.  Speakers: Mario Colucci, Psychiatrist - Dipartimento di salute mentale di Udine - Pierangelo Di Vittorio, Philosopher and writer - Fabian Freyenhagen, University of Essex - Silvia Lippi, Psychoanalyst - François Noudelmann, NYU Professor of French Literature, Thought, and Culture

Opening Reception | Illustrative Play Exhibition: Immersive Stortelling Art


This reception celebrates the exhibition Act 1: Geraldine Scott III by Lillian Ansell. The work in this exhibition comprises the first act in an illustrated play, building the world and inviting the audience into its landscape of edible clouds, powerful trees, open fields, castles, and sinking swamps fit for a fairytale. Pointed loafers, puffy sleeves, glowing red eyes, tents, and long-limbed birds and insects begin to populate the world, constructing a social narrative. Starting with Overture to the Great Hatch, animated birds lay red spotted eggs. The story continues in a series of drawings where, protected by insects, the eggs hold a prophecy that becomes the object of desire for an evil king. The play explores good, evil, and the betwixt and between.

Talk | Experts Discuss International Relations 10 Years after the Charlie Hebdo Shooting (In Person AND Online!)


At a time when the West is grappling with Islamism and the Middle East is undergoing a major transformation, two prominent Middle East experts, Prof. Bernard Haykel of Princeton and Dr. Hugo Micheron from Sciences Po Paris will share their expertise on important geopolitical issues and security questions. Ten years ago, the terrorists who killed twelve members of the satirical newspaper Charle Hebdo and four customers at a kosher supermarket declared their allegiance to Al-Qaeda. The attackers were part of a global jihadist movement consisting of a network of extremist organizations advocating violent attacks against the West and Jews. How has this movement evolved since 2015? What is its relationship to more mainstream Islamist movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood? Has the strategy of Islamists shifted towards infiltrating Western countries through religious schools, mosques, activist imams, growing participation in elective positions and effective internet propaganda?

Talk | A Former UN Diplomat on Sri Lanka and the Southern Maritime Silk Route (Online!)


Dr. Palitha Kohona, a former Sri Lankan Permanent Representative to the United Nations and Ambassador to China, examines Sri Lanka’s pivotal role in the Chinese Silk Road. Positioned at the southern tip of India, where monsoon winds and ocean currents converge, Sri Lanka has long attracted sailors from both friendly and marauding naval powers. Archaeological evidence suggests that hundreds, possibly thousands, of Chinese ships visited the island, making it a central hub in the Southern Maritime Silk Route and a key link in regional trade networks.

Screening | Debt, Dependency, & City Stories: Films on Postcolonial Economic Issues


This screening features films on the theme Debt, Dependency, and City Stories. Enslavement and colonization established persisting structures of economic dispossession, instituting dependency and debt as both historical and contemporary obstacles to the autonomous flourishing of the African continent and diaspora. Le Franc (1994) Djibril Diop Mambéty unleashed his exuberant and poignant cinema against the craven conditions of neocolonialism and financial deprivation on the African continent. Le Franc (1994) is one part of an unfinished trilogy dedicated to the minoritized experiences he always championed as meaningful and revelatory. The protagonist is a penniless musician, Marigo—played with lanky, languid charm by Dieye Ma Dieye—whose anarchic trek through Dakar with a lottery ticket in hand unfolds as both a deeply moving journey and an indictment of the colonially imposed CFA franc monetary system. Director: Djibril Diop Mambéty De cierta manera (One Way or Another) 1974/1977 Working in revolutionary Cuba, the fearless Sara Gómez upheld but also expanded the state’s vision of liberation to fully address ongoing issues of racialized economic disparity and marginalization in her hybrid documentary De cierta manera (1974/1977). Blending stark documentary footage and a knotted fictional love story, her monumental film is a lucid examination of education, labor, poverty, racism, sexism, and popular religion from the perspective of an Afro-Cubana. Director: Sara Gómez

Classical Music | Sonatenabend: Juilliard Students Perform Sonata Masterpieces (In Person AND Online!)


An evening of sonatas showcasing the beauty and balance of the gender. This concert offers expressive interpretations of works from the Classical and Romantic repertoire. The Classical period in clkassical music is a specific era, generally from about 1750 to 1820, characterized by a shift from the complex counterpoint of the Baroque to a lighter, clearer style with more elegant and balanced forms. Key composers include Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven (whose early works fall within this period). During this time, the symphony, string quartet, and piano emerged as dominant forms, and the orchestra grew in size, leading to new possibilities in texture and dynamics. Romantic-era of classical music (roughly 1800-1910) is known for its emphasis on emotional expression, individualism, and drama, diverging from the structured rules of the Classical period. Key composers include Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms, while iconic works like Chopin's "Nocturnes," Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake," and Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" epitomize the era's passionate and expansive style. Note: Please arrive 30-60 minutes in advance of your performance to sign in to the Juilliard building and receive your visitor badge. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
