Author Reading | Award-Winning Author Reads from His Latest Story Collection with Translator (English & Spanish)


This event brings together author Roberto Azcorra Cámara and translator Pennell Somsen for a bilingual reading from Medusa reina. Azcorra Cámara's stories delve into the intimacy of relationships, revealing how, even amidst misfortune and missteps, a path remains — sometimes luminous, sometimes dark, always unexpected. They explore romantic love, maternal devotion, forbidden desire, and grief through the lens of memory and urban space, with five stories sharing a recurring protagonist whose arc forms a puzzle for the attentive reader. The stories don't end definitively, leaving the outcome to the protagonists — and to the reader. Azcorra Cámara and Somsen will read selected passages in both Spanish and English, discuss the process of writing and translating, and invite questions from the audience.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Opening Reception | Groomed: Solo Painting Exhibition Depicting Elaborate, Sumptuous Scenes


An exhibition of seven new paintings by Bea Scaccia. The paintings in Groomed depict elaborate, sumptuous scenes filled with accumulations of fabric and various accoutrements of feminine style including wigs, costume jewelry, shoes, belts, zippers, plastic chains, hair clips, bows, tassels, and faux fur. Backed by colorful curtains and patterned wallpaper, and occupied by chairs, beds, and ladders, these nighttime scenarios are illuminated by representations of fringed lamps, clip-on book lights, and precariously placed lit candles. The nocturnal atmosphere is reinforced by the matte surfaces that Scaccia achieves by mixing gesso with acrylic to mute the colors, reworking them with airbrush, and applying oil paint to selected details. Incorporating an array of deliberately clashing textures and garish colors, these collections of objects come together to approximate faceless bodies and puppetlike limbs that are sheathed in fishnet tights, positioned as if in arrested motion. These partially formed figures appear to attempt activities—sitting, reclining, reading, climbing, and exercising—that they cannot quite complete. Categorically situated between still life and figuration, Scaccia’s works depict an enigmatic realm in which inanimate accessories used for beautification approach, but never fully attain, human form.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Italian Novel Reissued: Coins in the Fountain Discussed by the Author's Daughter


In 1952, newsman and novelist John H. Secondari published Coins in the Fountain-- the bestselling novel that inspired the Oscar-winning film, Three Coins in the Fountain. Born in Rome and raised in America, Secondari brought his personal experience to his story of American expatriates in postwar Italy. Secondari's daughter, Linda Secondari -- Creative Director of Studiolo Secondari and publisher of this new edition -- has a conversation about reissuing her father's novel more than seventy years after its original publication. The group will discuss Rome and the Trevi Fountain as characters in their own right, the complicated portrayal of women, and the American exceptionalism of the era that colored how these characters saw Italy, and how Italians saw them. Linda will speak candidly about the very personal experience of rereading her father's work today and how it has deepened her relationship with her history.

Talk | Renaissance Scholar Discusses Her Successful Raphael Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibition


In a conversation with Columbia Professor Michael Cole, curator Carmen C. Bambach will look back at the planning and the triumphant execution of this year’s exhibition, which was seen by more than 562,000 visitors over its three-month run. Massive, moving, and marked by fresh insights, the first comprehensive exhibition on Raphael in the U.S., Raphael: Sublime Poetry (which was at The Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier this year) was a masterpiece of scholarship and diplomacy by its curator, Carmen C. Bambach.  She brought together a display of 237 works, including some of the artist’s greatest masterpieces and lesser-known treasures, to tell a new story of Raphael’s talents.  Dr. Bambach is an expert in such achievements: she is the acclaimed Renaissance scholar who curated two earlier blockbusters. Please review the venue's access requirements.

At the Times, Fabricant's keen instincts led her to early coverage of food world titans like Thomas Keller, Martha Stewart, Eric Ripert, Alain Ducasse, and Tom Colicchio.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Author Reading | Up-and-Coming Writer Shares Her First English-Language Book with Valeria Luiselli: Wishbone


Laia Jufresa's first book written in English, Wishbone is dreamy and precise, insightful and thrilling: a work of lived-in magic with a colorful cast of irresistible characters, a dazzlingly inventive structure, and a stunning final revelation. About the Book: Tor Sima is the founder of the International Museum of Color in Oaxaca. Vica Luft is a secretary and single mother in Edinburgh. Disparate as their lives are, they mirror and inform one another in striking ways: an early trauma, a shared lover, an affinity for the octopus. Moving backward in time across two decades and seven cities, Wishbone quietly unravels what ties them together and what sets them apart. This is a captivating story about motherhood and friendship, art and commerce, selfhood and loss; about the parts of us that go missing when a loved one disappears, and the tentacular bonds forged by the families we create.

A conversation with Laurence Tubiana and Alexis Abramson, moderated by M. Sanjayan. The Paris Climate Agreement was unanimously adopted by 194 countries in 2015 against considerable odds. The Agreement set an ambitious goal of limiting the global average temperature increase to well below 2?C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to restrict the increase to 1.5?C. The United States, a major force in the successful ratification of the Accord, has since pulled out of the agreement twice, most recently in January 2026.

Park Walk | Multi-Lingual Literary Stroll


New York City is the most polyglot city in the world - more than 800 languages are spoken here. With the Transletting Walk, attendees celebrate this richness and explore what happens when translation leaves the page and enters the street. The walk moves through the park: readers read aloud in many languages - often at the same time - and participants are invited to join in. Translation can happen across or within languages. You can read along, translate, or simply listen and drift alongside. Feel free to bring your own texts - the walk is porous by design. At 6:00pm the event continues with a mix of short prepared pieces, collective translation prompts, and an open stage where results from the walk (or other texts participants bring) can be shared.

City Walk | Color-Focused Photowalk through Little Italy


Bring your favorite point-and-shoot camera (or your smartphone), and at the start of the walk you'll be randomly assigned a color. Your mission is simple: for the rest of the photowalk, photograph only subjects that feature your assigned color. This creative constraint encourages you to slow down, notice details you might otherwise overlook, and think differently about composition, light, and storytelling. Whether you're an experienced photographer or just looking for a fun afternoon with your camera, you'll leave with a unique collection of images and a fresh perspective on the art of seeing. Come ready to explore, get creative, and discover just how colorful the city can be. Photo gear will not be provided. Rain or shine. Please arrive early, as there is no planned route, and the group will be leaving promptly at 4pm.

Opening Reception | Kino Drift: Multi-Media Exhibition Presenting an Evolving Set of Conditions


A project by artist Rafał Skoczek. Conceived as a temporary exhibition space and venue for self-organized cultural activity, Kino Drift brings together film screenings, concerts, readings, publications, and artworks within an environment that continuously shifts over the course of its duration. Skoczek’s practice moves between painting, exhibition-making, publishing, music, and collaborative programming, often taking shape through social and infrastructural forms. For Kino Drift, he transforms an artist studio into a site for gathering and exchange, drawing on a network of ongoing projects, friendships, and affinities. Part cinema, part library, part venue, the exhibition develops progressively throughout its duration, functioning less as a static presentation than as an evolving set of conditions.

Book Discussion | Book Launch: Vanity Fair-Featured Writer's New Memoir


Downhill is Juana Libedinsky’s account of a couple of terrible years, told with the sharp eye of a seasoned reporter and a signature dry humor that surfaces in unexpected places. Woven throughout are reflections on the writers who sustained her through interminable hospital stays and the logistical ropes course of caregiving: Joan Didion on grief, Jorge Luis Borges on memory, Abraham Verghese on the orderly nature of tennis. Their voices form a kind of chorus, grounding Juana as she—and we—are reminded of the transcendental and practical powers of reading.

Book Discussion | Critic Discusses His New Biography/Memoir/Cultural History Book, The Death of the Clinic (In Person AND Online!)


To mark the launch The Death of the Clinic: Radical Experiments in the Art of Medicine, author Benoit Loiseau discusses the book with Emily Apter. Weaving together biography, memoir and cultural history, The Death of the Clinic is a groundbreaking exploration of five experimental clinics in recent Western history: a sex clinic housed in a stately mansion in Weimar Berlin; a preventive health centre in pre-NHS London; a post-war institute of psychiatry in a French chateau; a feminist health centre in 1970s Geneva; and a grassroots research initiative run by and for people with AIDS in New York. Each of these clinics emerged in response to seismic political shifts and era-defining global events. Yet at their heart lie the stories of extraordinary individuals who dared to reimagine how we care for one another. Reframing Michel Foucault's seminal book, Loiseau's The Death of the Clinic is a radical invitation to rethink the clinic - not as a fixed institution but as a living, evolving practice rooted in care, resistance, and collective imagination.

To celebrate Grey Art Museum's exhibition Making Music: Helen Frankenthaler Prints, this event is an evening of conversation and performance. It explores connections between visual abstraction and musical expression. Composer Kenneth Fuchs (Professor of Composition, University of Connecticut) will discuss how the colors and compositions of Frankenthaler's Abstract Expressionist paintings inspired him to compose concertos and other vibrant, emotionally direct music.

Musicians from MPAP will perform a movement from Fuchs's Fire, Ice, and Summer Bronze (1986), composed after two works on paper by Frankenthaler. Featuring: Joshua Condori, trumpet, Molly Weisberg, trumpet, Taylor Krause, French horn, Ethan Clark, trombone, and David Horn, tuba. A reception will follow the conversation and performance.

Book Discussion | Author Discussion on Autofiction Novel Finalist for the 75th National Jewish Book Awards


Author Sam Sussman in conversation with author Julian Tepper for a special evening celebrating the paperback release of Boy from the North Country. At the heart of Boy from the North Country is a question that confronts us all: How well can we ever know the people who made us? Through the story of a young man returning home to care for his dying mother, Sussman’s acclaimed debut explores family secrets, the search for identity, the burden and gift of inheritance, and the ways love can persist through grief, uncertainty, and time. The conversation examines the novel’s central themes of memory, loss, healing, and forgiveness, as well as the profound relationship between parents and children. Sussman will discuss the stories families tell, the stories they conceal, and the role of fiction in helping us understand both. The evening also explores the creative process behind transforming deeply personal questions into a work of resonant and emotionally powerful literature.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

City Hall is a designated New York City landmark, and its rotunda is also a designated interior landmark. Note: When registering, choose the "Individual Tour" option.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Classical Music | An Evening of Cross-Generational Khayal Vocal Traditions (+ Pre-Concert Talk) (In Person AND Online!)


The Saami brothers, guided by Naseeruddin Saami, the last living master of the 49-note microtonal vocal scale (shrutis), belong to a musical past that can be traced back to 13th century Delhi, filled with echoes of melodies emanating from the Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya’s shrine. Together, they blended Persian melodic modes, Arabic maqaam, Turkish musical elements, and South Asian traditions to create khayal, and its devotional offshoot, qawwali.  The concert will be preceded by a 5pm conversation with Ustad Rauf Saami, and Nermeen Arastu (Professor of Law, student of Ustad Rauf, and Co-Lead, Strategy and Residencies for The Saami Family) where they will unpack the history of Khayal, the importance of oral transmission, what the future holds for living traditions that resist full inscription, and how scholarship and practice might sustain one another in that effort. The Saami family Khayal performance will begin at 6pm. 4:30pm–5pm — Meet and greet 5pm–5:45pm — Pre-concert talk 6pm–7pm — Concert

An exhibition featuring new and recent work by Sable Elyse Smith. The gallery reframes Clockwork by expanding its more cinematic elements into an immersive stage-set environment, where video becomes an immediate means of visualizing unseen, ordinary violence. Including sculpture, video, neon, and photography, Clockwork interrogates the fundamental systems of power that define contemporary society, as well as their cultural and psychological impacts. Through formal strategies such as seriality and repetition, disorientation, and appropriation, Smith illustrates how systems of power not only overlap, but how they intertwine and mutually reinforce one another.

Open Studios | Oblivion Blue: Solo Painting Exhibition Depicting Unstable Territory


An exhibition of new works by Oakland‑based artist Yulia Pinkusevich. Bringing together a series of large-scale works, the exhibition explores the unstable territory between abstraction and information, memory and measurement, and the systems developed to record catastrophe and the lived experience of those who endure it.   Pinkusevich's paintings originate in the isorithm, a geometric method developed in the context of civil defense to map the effects of an explosive event across inhabited terrain. Designed to render destruction measurable, these diagrams translate an otherwise immeasurable event into lines, distances, and concentric fields. The maps were created through Geographic Information System (GIS) in collaboration with Northeastern University's Professor of Public Policy Mark Henderson, translating population and geographical data as well as contemporary global conflict into precise spatial structures. In Oblivion Blues, Pinkusevich takes this rational language as a point of departure, transforming it through the physical processes of drawing and painting into expansive and highly charged compositions

Mark Oppenheimer pulls back the curtain to reveal the woman behind the icon, and the unlikely journey of her literary ascension, in this "vibrant, authoritative account" (Wall Street Journal). For fifty-five years, Judy Blume's work has rewired the world's expectation of what literature for young people can be--frank, candid, earthy, and unafraid to show the messier sides of humanity. Pen America cites Blume's titles among "the fifty-two most banned books" of recent years. Blume's novels --including Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret; Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing; Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great; Forever...; and Summer Sisters--have touched the lives of millions of adults and children.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Dance Performance | Maedeup: An Encounter with Korean Visual Heritage through Contemporary Dance (In Person AND Online!)


A live, non-verbal performance that reimagines Korean classical painting through contemporary performance. Named after the Korean word for “knot,” Maedeup evokes the weaving together of image, movement, sound, and memory. Inspired by the visual world of Shin Yun-bok (Hyewon), an 18th-century Korean painter renowned for his portrayals of women and everyday life, the work unfolds without spoken text. Foley performance, tableau vivant, live visuals, and live camera work transform his paintings into living, time-based events in which body, sound, and image converge in real time. The production offers an encounter with Korean visual heritage beyond language and cultural boundaries. The project brings Korean cultural heritage into contemporary performance and into dialogue with international audiences. Led by director and professor Kim JiYoung, the production brings together professional performers connected to SeoulArts in an interdisciplinary collaboration spanning theatre, visual art, sound, photography, and live media. Kim’s recent work explores new ways of connecting Korean tradition with contemporary expression.

Book Discussion | Humanities Scholar Shares His New Book Exploring NYC in the 20s


Jonathan Ezra Goldman, James Joyce Society President and Professor at New York Tech, provides a fresh look at 1920s New York City in this conversation with recent Manhattan Borough Historian Robert Snyder. Hidden Histories of Jazz Age New York offers a fresh look at 1920s New York City, unearthing stories of everyday life and marginalized communities. In sections that intertwine entertainment, politics, art, technology, crime, shopping, eating, and recreation, the book portrays sweeping events such as the Harlem Renaissance, Prohibition, and immigration reform through anecdotes of individual experiences that counter the era's popular conceptions of ballooning wealth and uproarious celebration.

Concert | Theme Songs & Original Scores Drawing on Chinese Folk Songwriting


Muk Lau Yan is an original mystery series in development by software engineer Xi Chen and designer Pu Cao, set within Chinese American communities in the United States. Performing under the provisional name Muk Lau Yan, the duo, joined by guest cellist Teksuko, will present selections of theme songs and original score from the project. Both Xi Chen and Pu Cao were active figures in Beijing’s underground music scene in the early 2000s, while Teksuko is a New York–based cellist known for her adventurous and experimental approach to performance. Drawing inspiration from the experiences of the Chinese diaspora—displacement, longing, and resilience—the music combines Chinese folk songwriting with elements of noise and experimental sound. Raw, emotionally charged, and deeply personal, their performance embraces a lo-fi, DIY aesthetic while exploring the tensions between individual lives and larger social forces.

Author Reading | New Yorker-Featured Author Reads from His New Book, Ambivalence


Ambivalence is a memoir of the author’s native city of Dublin in the 1980s and ’90s, a portrait of the author as a young man, and an intimate defense of radical thinking about literature and life. In vivid, present-tense passages, Dillon describes his first encounters with writers such as Virginia Woolf, Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes, and Jacques Derrida. He recalls being seduced by androgyny, ambiguity, and ambivalence on the page and in the life he hoped his reading would transfigure.

Talk | Fashion Historian Shares Her New Book on the Evolution of Gilded Age Wardrobe


Author Raissa Bretana shares her new book, Fashion of the Gilded Age. It's an in-depth look at the evolution of the fashionable silhouettes from 1870 to 1910, along with the cultural context and customs of etiquette surrounding dress during this dynamic period in American history. Raissa Bretana has hosted a video series for Glamour, and appeared as a guest on Follow the Thread for Turner Classic Movies and HBO Max. She currently works at the Museum at FIT and is the author of Shoes (2021) and co-author of Moxie: The Daring Women of Classic Hollywood (2024). Nothing embodied the resplendence of the Gilded Age like the opulent fashions worn by the women of elite society. With their well-appointed wardrobes, they achieved social prominence by ensuring they were elegantly and appropriately dressed for every luncheon, reception, promenade, and ball. It was an era marked by an increasingly style-conscious public, shaped by the expanding fashion press that reported on both the couture houses of Paris's Rue de la Paix and the department stores of New York's Ladies' Mile.

Play | Moliere's Don Juan: Provocative Tragicomedy with Live Music (in the Park)


Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end? Playwright: Moliere Translator/Adaptor: Stephen Wadsworth Director: Lucie Tiberghien Cast: Keshav Moodliar, Kaliswa Brewster, Naomi Lorrain, Daniel Pearce, Michelle Veintimilla This presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Dance Performance | Maedeup: An Encounter with Korean Visual Heritage through Contemporary Dance (In Person AND Online!)


A live, non-verbal performance that reimagines Korean classical painting through contemporary performance. Named after the Korean word for "knot," Maedeup evokes the weaving together of image, movement, sound, and memory. Inspired by the visual world of Shin Yun-bok (Hyewon), an 18th-century Korean painter renowned for his portrayals of women and everyday life, the work unfolds without spoken text. Foley performance, tableau vivant, live visuals, and live camera work transform his paintings into living, time-based events in which body, sound, and image converge in real time. The production offers an encounter with Korean visual heritage beyond language and cultural boundaries. The project brings Korean cultural heritage into contemporary performance and into dialogue with international audiences. Led by director and professor Kim JiYoung, the production brings together professional performers connected to SeoulArts in an interdisciplinary collaboration spanning theatre, visual art, sound, photography, and live media. Kim's recent work explores new ways of connecting Korean tradition with contemporary expression.

Dance Performance | Maedeup: An Encounter with Korean Visual Heritage through Contemporary Dance (In Person AND Online!)


A live, non-verbal performance that reimagines Korean classical painting through contemporary performance. Named after the Korean word for “knot,” Maedeup evokes the weaving together of image, movement, sound, and memory. Inspired by the visual world of Shin Yun-bok (Hyewon), an 18th-century Korean painter renowned for his portrayals of women and everyday life, the work unfolds without spoken text. Foley performance, tableau vivant, live visuals, and live camera work transform his paintings into living, time-based events in which body, sound, and image converge in real time. The production offers an encounter with Korean visual heritage beyond language and cultural boundaries. The project brings Korean cultural heritage into contemporary performance and into dialogue with international audiences. Led by director and professor Kim JiYoung, the production brings together professional performers connected to SeoulArts in an interdisciplinary collaboration spanning theatre, visual art, sound, photography, and live media. Kim’s recent work explores new ways of connecting Korean tradition with contemporary expression.

Installation | Ukrainian Dreams: Adui-Visual Projection Mapping Artwork


As darkness falls, the surrounding facades come alive with a luminous outdoor projection installation, transforming the neighborhood into a canvas of color and memory. Ukrainian Dreams, created by Tais Poda, brings to life the vivid and wildly imaginative works of Ukraine’s best-loved artist Maria Prymachenko in an audiovisual spectacle expressing the hope and pride of a nation. At a time when Prymachenko’s life’s work is at risk from the ongoing Russian invasion, Ukrainian Dreams animates her enduring masterpieces using innovative projection mapping, set to an original Ukrainian folk score performed by MasterVoices.

Gallery Talk | Curator & Writer Discuss the Legacy of Johannes Vermeer at a Landmark Museum


It's thought that only around thirty-five paintings by the Dutch Golden Age artist survive in the entire world. Of these, five are at this museum--more than at any other museum. Explore the beloved 17th-century Dutch painter in a talk with curator Adam Eaker and writer Ruth Bernard Yeazell, author of Vermeer's Afterlives. Vermeer's works at this museum trace his artistic developments, from early explorations to refined mastery. Though his masterpieces are famous today, Vermeer virtually dropped out of sight after his death in 1675, remaining relatively obscure until the end of the 19th century. Gain insight into the rise of this extraordinary painter and the ways in which Vermeer's captivating art has been interpreted through the centuries.

Discussion | Art Scholars Discuss the Relationship between Florine Stettheimer & Georgia O’Keeffe (In Person AND Online!)


Barbara Bloemink (lead scholar of the forthcoming Florine Stettheimer Catalogue Raisonné Project) and Barbara Buhler Lynes (Georgia O’Keeffe: Catalogue Raisonné) in a conversation moderated by renowned journalist Julia Halperin.     Florine Stettheimer and Georgia O’Keeffe are prominent American women modern artists. As friends, they exhibited widely in galleries and museums — and were highly admired by curators and art critics during the first half of the 20th century. Their approaches to artmaking, however, are remarkably different. Bloemink and Lynes will discuss the artists’ relationship, how they controlled their public image, how their work differs and yet reveals a mutual interest in simultaneity, and more. This event will also call attention to published and forthcoming catalogues raisonnés that document all known works by Stettheimer and O’Keeffe.

Don Juan has abandoned Elvira, whom he seduced into breaking her vows and marrying him. Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed. As he seduces women, defies social conventions, mocks religion, and revels in provocation, his appetite for transgression seems impossible to satisfy. Yet the signs are unmistakable: the walls are closing in. Will he truly repent? Or will he just pretend to, like so many around him, and continue down the same path to the bitter end?

Dance Performance | Maedeup: An Encounter with Korean Visual Heritage through Contemporary Dance (In Person AND Online!)


A live, non-verbal performance that reimagines Korean classical painting through contemporary performance. Named after the Korean word for "knot," Maedeup evokes the weaving together of image, movement, sound, and memory. Inspired by the visual world of Shin Yun-bok (Hyewon), an 18th-century Korean painter renowned for his portrayals of women and everyday life, the work unfolds without spoken text. Foley performance, tableau vivant, live visuals, and live camera work transform his paintings into living, time-based events in which body, sound, and image converge in real time. The production offers an encounter with Korean visual heritage beyond language and cultural boundaries. The project brings Korean cultural heritage into contemporary performance and into dialogue with international audiences. Led by director and professor Kim JiYoung, the production brings together professional performers connected to SeoulArts in an interdisciplinary collaboration spanning theatre, visual art, sound, photography, and live media. Kim's recent work explores new ways of connecting Korean tradition with contemporary expression.

Talk | Explore Dorothy Day's Journey to Possible Sainthood


Robert Ellsberg, a former managing editor of the CW and editor of Dorothy Day’s writings, will describe her New York journey. Dorothy Day, champion of the oppressed, witness for peace, was born in Brooklyn and spent most of her life in New York’s Lower East Side. In the 1920s, while working as a journalist for progressive papers, she became close to Eugene O'Neill and others in the Greenwich Village scene. After her conversion to Catholicism, she founded the Catholic Worker newspaper and the first of her “houses of hospitality,” combining service to the poor and work for justice. The founder of the Catholic Worker movement, Dorothy Day established her first “houses of hospitality” in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1933, living with the poor, practicing the “works of mercy,” and struggling for peace and justice. Greenwich Village played an important part in her early life, when she was close to Eugene O’Neill and immersed herself in the literary/activist/bohemian scene. Later, as a Catholic, she modeled a version of radical Christianity, was arrested repeatedly for acts of civil disobedience during the civil defense drills of the 1950s, and spent time in the Women’s House of Detention on Sixth Avenue.

Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws.This group meets to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips. This meeting is free and open to all level of folders from beginner to advanced. There will be free paper available to share. You may choose to bring your own paper and books and just show up and fold! If you have models you would like to learn, or teach, let the organizers know, and they will try our best to accommodate.

Talk | Classical Scholar Discusses Martha Graham's Greek Myth-Inspired Choreography (In Person AND Online!)


In this program, Ronnie Ancona draws material from her new book, Martha Graham's Greek Myth-Based Dances and Her Collaboration with Isamu Noguchi. She argues that the bold and woman-centered receptions of Greek myth created by Graham emerged from Graham and Noguchi's mutual understandings of space and movement, objects and bodies. She traces the influences of ancient Greek myth on these dances as well as the ways in which Graham (and Noguchi) have created something new from this heritage through their own interpretations. This presentation will include photos and video clips.

Author Reading | Renowned Composer Shares Her New Book, Mirror: A Novel in Reflections


Lera Auerbach, writer, composer, and artist, reads an excerpt from her book. The book is a genre-defying Russian-language novel in reflections, where memory transcends time and prose moves with the architecture of music. Subtitled A Novel in Reflections, Mirror is not a conventional novel. It is diary and monodrama, confession and labyrinth, musical score and mythic theatre. Composed in twenty-four preludes and twenty-four postludes, with trios, mirrored returns, inversions, and a final coda, the book transforms literary form into an act of reflection. One part answers another; one image reappears altered; one memory casts a shadow across another. The result is a work in which prose behaves like music.

Performance | Cookie: Italian Picaresque-Inspired Performance Unfolding around a Sculpture


The play follows the traditional picaresque format, a literary style developed during the height of Spain's Golden Age in which a clever but poor hero, a picaro, uses their wits and tricks to survive in a corrupt and crumbling society. Drawing inspiration from 16th-century picaresque novellas like Lazarillo de Tormes and Francisco de Quevedo's The Swindler, Cookie is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition. At its center is Gunnar Churchwell, a sleazy yet charismatic suit salesman who arrives in Madrid, only to be recruited by the egomaniacal ringleader of a grifting crew of makeshift "tailors." Their baseline rule for survival is simple: "never let them know you are hungry." Cookie unfolds around The Lair, a twisted aluminum sculpture resembling a street scaffold. The performance is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition, highlighting anti-heroes who maneuver through the cracks of a glittering superpower purely to secure their next meal. Georgia Gardner Gray works across painting, performance, and theater. Her vivid canvases depict exaggerated figures in social spaces--bars, apartments, rehearsal rooms, city streets--each imbued with the comedy, absurdity, instability, and contradiction inherent in our modern lives. As an accomplished playwright, Gray captures the tension between intimacy and display, self-awareness and satire.

Classical Music | An Afternoon of Italian Notturno Romances (In Person AND Online!)


Teatro Nuovo: Amalia Crevani, soprano, Gabrielle Barkidjija, mezzo-soprano, Matt Zucker, cello, and Will Crutchfield, fortepiano. A staple of chamber music in the late Classical and early Romantic era (circa 1780-1830) was the Italian Notturno for two voices with continuo or fully-composed keyboard part. This genre, a descendant of the Baroque chamber cantata, remains very little explored today; hundreds of gems await rediscovery. Teatro Nuovo's concentration on early Romantic opera poises its musicians to lead this revival. Teatro Nuovo's 1804 Lonsdale fortepiano (plus cello as appropriate) provides the ideal period accompaniment.

FIT Professor Yuniya Kawamura will be in conversation with fashion and art creator Sebastian Masuda. He is internationally recognized as the leading figure in Japan’s kawaii (cute) subculture. Masuda understands kawaii not merely as an aesthetic, but as an explicit, nonviolent mode of rebellion and resistance—one comparable to other Japanese youth subcultures that assert identity through unconventional forms of dress and self-presentation. A book signing follows the event.

Carlos Barragan discusses his work of immersion journalism about four young romance scammers in Lagos, Nigeria, exploring how and why they scam, and the moral dilemmas they face. Through the Yahoo Boys' twisting fortunes, Barragan discovers the psychological tactics they perfect, the brutal economic realities that drive them, and the moral dilemmas they confront.

Staged Reading | Covenant: Original Interfaith Drama


A Vatican guesthouse meeting room. A long table, four chairs, a window overlooking a walled courtyard garden that hasn't seen rain in weeks. Over thirty-six hours, four people - a Filipino Cardinal, a British-Ghanaian climate lawyer, a Lakota spiritual leader, and a young Vatican aide - discover that the interfaith climate dialogue they were convened to conduct is not the conversation they actually need to have. What follows is a reckoning: with what each tradition has enabled, what each person has privately failed to do, and whether language adequate to the crisis they are gathered around actually exists. Written by William A. Smith. Directed by Maria Mileaf.

Performance | Cookie: Italian Picaresque-Inspired Performance Unfolding around a Sculpture


The play follows the traditional picaresque format, a literary style developed during the height of Spain's Golden Age in which a clever but poor hero, a picaro, uses their wits and tricks to survive in a corrupt and crumbling society. Drawing inspiration from 16th-century picaresque novellas like Lazarillo de Tormes and Francisco de Quevedo's The Swindler, Cookie is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition. At its center is Gunnar Churchwell, a sleazy yet charismatic suit salesman who arrives in Madrid, only to be recruited by the egomaniacal ringleader of a grifting crew of makeshift "tailors." Their baseline rule for survival is simple: "never let them know you are hungry." Cookie unfolds around The Lair, a twisted aluminum sculpture resembling a street scaffold. The performance is a story of desperation disguised as elite ambition, highlighting anti-heroes who maneuver through the cracks of a glittering superpower purely to secure their next meal. Georgia Gardner Gray works across painting, performance, and theater. Her vivid canvases depict exaggerated figures in social spaces--bars, apartments, rehearsal rooms, city streets--each imbued with the comedy, absurdity, instability, and contradiction inherent in our modern lives. As an accomplished playwright, Gray captures the tension between intimacy and display, self-awareness and satire.

Opera | Puccini's Suor Angelica: One-Act Opera with All-Women Cast


This gorgeous opera--one of the composer's personal favorites, yet rarely performed as he intended, with the visceral resonance of a genuine pipe organ--will be performed with a newly commissioned chamber orchestration. Suor Angelica takes place entirely inside a 17th-century convent cloister, lending a site-specific, immersive nature to this performance. A story of family, lies, and heartbreak set within the restrictive world of cloistered nuns, this is the only opera in Puccini's entire canon that features no men onstage (the male chorus sings offstage). It offers a fascinating, intimate look into female relationships and the dynamics of a religious order. Guest artist Mikhaela Mahony directs.

With exquisite prose and profound insight, Strout's new novel provides a poignant meditation on loneliness, friendship, parenthood, and the importance of truth in a capsizing world. "A stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart." - The Guardian

Dance Performance | Site-Specific Duet, Physical Dialogue Finding Balance


This performance brings together dancers Asha Thomas and Robert Cornejo in an intimate dance that offers a sensitive lecture on communication across generations. By placing these two artists at distinct, contrasting moments in their lives and careers, the choreography becomes a living conversation where maturity and youth meet. Their physical dialogue navigates the deep-seated difficulties of finding balance, letting the human relationship play out directly within the environment around them. While this duet is drawn from excerpts of Gounouj In Situ, it stands as a window into the core themes of Leo Lerus's broader choreographic work. His practice frequently draws inspiration from the Gwoka tradition and the lush natural beauty of his native Guadeloupe, exploring the island's natural and cultural ability to adapt to change. Through his movement research, Lerus explores environments in a delicate natural balance and examines how that equilibrium is altered by contemporary input. By weaving these ideas into the duet, the performance reflects the complex mix of feelings around environmental preservation--using the movement of two different generations to juxtapose disappointment and anger with an enduring hope and a shared movement toward a positive future.

Classical Music | One of NYC's Most Exciting Chamber Orchestras and Its Widely-Praised Conductor


Parlando Orchestra distinguishes itself by integrating historical and cultural context into every performance. Founder-conductor Ian Niederhoffer, described by New York Classical Review as "charismatic, enthusiastic and articulate," leads the ensemble with a uniquely engaging approach. About the Piece In 1924, Austrian director Hugo Bettauer released a satirical film imagining a Vienna emptied of its Jewish population -- a dark comic warning drawn from the rhetoric of rising nationalist politicians. One year later, Bettauer was assassinated by a Nazi sympathizer who was acquitted and celebrated. Banned in 1933, the film nearly vanished until a pristine print surfaced at a Paris flea market in 2015. Parlando presents a live screening with orchestra of the newly restored Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City without Jews), featuring Olga Neuwirth's 2018 score -- a visceral, urgent work that transforms this century-old cautionary tale into an unsettlingly contemporary one.

Lecture | Biographer Explores the Groundbreaking Work of Jazz Dancer & Choreographer Buddy Bradley


Maureen Footer has written a new biography of Buddy Bradley, Feel the Floor, that delves into his far-reaching influence. Nearly every famous name in dance in the mid-twentieth century was touched by the innovative, often groundbreaking work of the jazz dancer and choreographer. Iconic choreographers from George Balanchine to Frederick Ashton, Jerome Robbins to Agnes deMille, were among the many major artists who drew inspiration from his work. Here, with a panel including tap, jazz, and ballet dancers, the subject of how one art form can significantly influence another will be discussed and demonstrated, live. When Balanchine and Bradley were brought together in London in 1931 to co-choreograph Charles B. Cochran's famous revue, the star, and the chorus had been trained by Buddy Bradley, providing Balanchine with his first hands-on opportunity to experiment with jazz mechanisms and movement. Some of Bradley and Balanchine’s “creative synergies” will be displayed by the dancers in work such as Agon, Rubies and Symphony in C.

Staged Reading | Last Night At Mikell's: Original Drama Based on James Baldwin's Life


James Baldwin is writing himself into bad health. After two heart attacks and being hospitalized for hepatitis, the globe-trotting author returns to New York City for some rest, relaxation, and much-needed TLC. First on his itinerary is the iconic jazz club Mikell’s, a favorite hangout where he’s usually surrounded by adoring fans and his brother David tends bar. But things have changed since Jimmy last came home. To his surprise, Mikell’s is closing, and his entourage this night consists of just Maya Angelou and Miles Davis, good friends who meet him there because they also didn’t know. What’s intended as a celebration turns into an Irish wake for the not-yet deceased, instigated by Miles as Jimmy impulsively, on the spot, starts writing an elegy to his beloved old joint, enabled by David, while Maya tries to intervene. Written by Larry Muhammad Directed by Ron Beverly

Lecture | DIscussion on Newfound Artwork by Franz Kafka


A lecture by Andreas Kilcher (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich). The lecture will be followed by a conversation between Andreas Kilcher and Paul North (Maurice Natanson Professor of German and Professor of Philosophy at Yale University). The year 2019 brought a sensational discovery: hundreds of drawings by Franz Kafka that had been kept under lock and key for decades were made accessible. Although Kafka is renowned for his written work, his drawings are evidence of what his literary executor, Max Brod, termed his 'double talent'. Irresistible and full of fascinating figures, shifting from the realistic to the fantastic, the grotesque, the uncanny, and the carnivalesque, they illuminate a previously unknown side of the quintessential modernist author. Four new and fascinating stories can be told in relation to Kafka's drawings: the story of their transmission, the story of Kafka's engagement with the visual arts, the story of Kafka as a draftsman, and the story of his drawing practice in the context of his writing, which implies a complex aesthetic question: How are these drawings to be understood in their own right, yet at the same time as connected to his writing?

Film | Bamako (2006): Malian Docudrama - The Weight of History


Set in the Malian capital, Bamako employs a fictional trial to stage a public prosecution of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and ultimately Western capitalism itself, facing charges they have forcibly kept a decolonized Africa impoverished and oppressed. Meanwhile, everyday life unfolds around the proceedings. Through this imagined courtroom, the film interrogates the legacies of colonialism, global inequality, and economic dependency, transforming the trial into a forum for historical reckoning and debate. Director: Abderrahmane Sissako Cast: Aissa Maiga, Tiecoura Traore, Helene Diarra, Habib Dembele In French and Bambara with English subtitles. Please review the venue's access requirements.

Screening | Maintenance Artist (2025): Art Documentary (+ Filmmaker Discussion)


This film dives deep into the extraordinary life and work of the artist-in-residence at NYC's Sanitation Department since 1977. A pioneering ecofeminist and social practice artist, Ukeles made the invisible labor of cleaning, caretaking and motherhood the focus of her artistic practice. Through a blend of rare archival footage and interviews the film explores how a single artist transformed "maintenance" and care -- the often-dismissed work of women and working-class people -- into one of the most profound artistic and political statements of the 20th century. Director: Toby Perl Freilich The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Cooper Union Professor Diana Agrest, former New York City Cultural Affairs Commissioner, Tom Finkelpearl, and the filmmaker, Toby Perl Freilich.

The Harvard 5 tells the little-known story of five visionary Harvard architects--Philip Johnson, John Johansen, Landis Gores, Eliot Noyes, and Marcel Breuer--who ignited a modern design revolution in the wake of WWII.

Director: Devon Chivvis Award-winning filmmaker Devon Chivvis, and architectural historian Hilary Lewis, the former Chief Curator and Creative Director of the Glass House, host a first-time film offering.

Book Discussion | Art Historians Discuss Their New Book, What Was America?


Elise Armani and Katy Siegel will be joined by Lauren O'Neill-Butler in a lively conversation about artists, communities, and citizens at a moment when art and culture were seen (and supported) as a civic good. Where is art going, who is it for, and what can it tell us about our world? To think these questions through, we might begin by looking back. Published this month, Elise Armani and Katy Siegel's book, What Was America? offers a prismatic view of American art and culture in the years leading up to the 1976 Bicentennial. Over ten years of planning, the Bicentennial inspired and supported an unprecedented culture boom across the United States, as artists, designers, performers, historians, writers, and participants of all kinds wrestled with the pressing issues of the day, including the environment, immigration, heritage, media, and what it means to be American. From individual artworks and blockbuster exhibitions to community quilts and time capsules, projects unfolded across wildly disparate venues, demographics, and geographies, eliciting mass participation in negotiating US history and imagining the nation's future. Many of the questions asked in 1976 resemble those of 2026, but the responses offered in that earlier moment make for an electric contrast with those of our own present--they also hold genuine potential for remaking our own future.

Over 300 photographs will be exhibited and visitors will be encouraged to vote for their favorite photograph. Vernacular photography, almost always anonymous, can be portraits, landscapes, still lives; snapshots commemorating all sorts of occasions, from family gatherings to graduations, picnics to funerals. Often found in flea markets, antique shops and garage sales, they are both documents and mysteries. Sometimes spontaneous, sometimes posed, vernacular photography marks the transition—and availability—of photography from the studio and the “photographer” to the public at large because of readily available and affordable cameras.

Opening Reception | Too Much Is Better Than Too Little: Multi-Artist Exhibition on Germany's Punk Scene


The first exhibition devoted to Alfred Hilsberg and ZickZack ever to be mounted outside Germany. The exhibition will feature rare and unseen records, badges, flyers, and posters from the collection of Christian Iffland; photography and heady documentation by Sabine Schwabroh; and early Super-8 films of Klaus Maeck (filmmaker and founder, in 1979, of Hamburg's first punk store, Rip Off Records). The late 1970s and early 1980s was a period of imaginative intensity, wild recklessness and magnificent mutation in Germany. Not just in Berlin, but in cities and regions across the country, teenagers who had caught the punk virus unlearned their instruments, made strange synthetic sounds that the radio stations and major labels regarded as anti-music, and created a fierce, fractured poetry out of the German language. Abwarts, DAF, Der Plan, Einsturzende Neubaten, Malaria!, Palais Schaumberg, Xmal Deutschland: at the peak of the Cold War, a time of No Wave and No Future, these bands--and hundreds like them--radiated an energy, dark wit and a spirit of experimentation that is still arresting, and in some cases waiting to be discovered still in 2026.

Lecture | Discover the Work of Spanish Painter Francisco Jose de Goya


This talk explores the life and work of an old master. Goya was well-versed in the best tradition of Spanish painting from El Greco to Velazquez; he is known as the last of the old masters and first of the moderns. In 1786, he became court painter to the Spanish Crown; his work includes portraits of the aristocracy and the royals, as well as tapestries. He shows no pity for the mighty, revealing their vanity, greed and emptiness. A severe illness in 1793 left him deaf, after which there is a thread of violence and fear in his work. He became a prolific master of etchings and aquatint, expressing fantastic nightmares. He abandoned Spain to retire to Bordeaux in 1824 and died there at age 82.

Classical Music | Directions For Making a Round Ark: Roundtable + Music


A chamber opera in three acts, composed by Stanzi Vaubel, Artistic Director of the Indeterminacy Festival, and Philippe Treuille, which tells the story of the primordial flood. Set in a richly imagined polytheistic world, the opera opens with the creation of humanity as a solution to the gods’ burdens—only for that solution to spiral into chaos. As humans multiply, their noise and presence provoke the wrath of Enlil, king of the gods. Enlil attempts to reduce the population through plague, drought, and ultimately a devastating flood. Each time, Enki intervenes, culminating in a secret warning to build a life-saving ark. Directions For Making a Round Ark reimagines one of humanity’s oldest stories. Inspired by the Babylonian Epic of Atrahasis, the earliest known version of the flood myth, written a thousand years before Noah’s Ark.

Film | The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928): Landmark Silent Historical Film (+ Live Piano Accompaniment)


The Passion of Joan of Arc draws upon the surviving transcripts of Joan's 1431 trial, one of the most remarkable documentary records of the Middle Ages. Through Joan's testimony and the probing questions of her inquisitors, the film reveals not only an extraordinary individual but also the religious beliefs, legal reasoning, and gender assumptions of late medieval Europe. This film is widely regarded as a landmark of cinema, and Renee Jeanne Falconetti's performance as Joan is considered one of the most astonishing performances committed to film. Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer Cast: Renee Jeanne Falconetti, Eugene Silvain, Andre Berley, Maurice Schutz, Antonin Artaud Silent film screening with live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner, followed by a discussion with Christia Mercer and Nico Baumbach.

Talk | Comparative Literature Scholar Discusses Literary Censorship in the USSR (In Person AND Online!)


For Banned Books Week, Yasha Klots of the Tamizdat Project helps shed light on smuggled literature that defied Soviet censorship and illuminates the enduring power of the printed word. Throughout the Soviet century, tamizdat (literally, “published over there,” or abroad) comprised manuscripts rejected, censored, or never submitted for publication at home but smuggled through various channels across the Iron Curtain and printed elsewhere, with or without their authors’ knowledge or consent. Until perestroika, when the curtain began to rust, these books were used as weapons on the cultural fronts of the Cold War.  In this talk, Yasha Klots will speak about the history of tamizdat as a literary practice and political institution from the Cold War era to the present, when censorship and political repressions in Russia and Belarus have forced an increasing number of authors, publishers, and readers into exile, especially after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He will also speak about the Tamizdat Project, a public scholarship initiative for the study of banned books from the former USSR and Easter Europe, as well as a small press and a philanthropic organization.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Novelists Discuss Their Books Commenting on Italian Identity (In Person AND Online!)


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

Workshop | Art Workshop on Memory, Repetition, & Care in Woven Works


Leave a single mark on a shared cloth. A hands-on workshop on memory, repetition, and care. Participants are invited to make a single mark on a shared piece of undyed cloth: a gesture, a line, a word, a shape, using graphite pencils provided in the gallery. No experience is required. Participants will then work in quiet, with space for individual reflection before a short closing conversation. Bà Nhung has been weaving for fifty-five years. Each day adds something small, one pattern, one hour, one mood, until years of ordinary labor become inseparable from the life they accompanied. This workshop takes that logic as its starting point.

Book Discussion | New Yorker-Featured Artist Shares His New Memoir, Work in Progress (In Person AND Online!)


Made globally famous by his portraits captured on New York City's subways, artist Devon Rodriguez sits down with his editor Elizabeth Méndez Berry to discuss his memoir of growing up in the Bronx. In this memoir, he explains how his art, his grandmother, and his own relentless drive saved him from heart-wrenching circumstances and led him to redefine out-of-fashion realist portraiture as fresh and magical. Rodriguez writes with rhythm, verve, and an artist’s POV, painting a vivid picture of his native Bronx, the tattoos and rooftop graffiti that mesmerized him as a kid, and the teachers who saw his potential and nourished it.

Film | Once Upon a Time in Harlem (2026): Culture Documentary (+ Filmmaker Discussion)


A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group--many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years--reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed, and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves's son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves's intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work. but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive. Director: William Greaves, David Greaves Followed by a conversation between filmmakers David Greaves and Liani Greaves and Racquel Gates, Associate Professor, Film and Media Studies.

A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter, where a sinister presence influences the father into violence. At the same time, his psychic son sees horrifying forebodings from both the past and the future. Director: Stanley Kubrick Cast: Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, Danny Lloyd Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor. While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release, most were nominated for Academy Awards, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical re-evaluations. Jack Nicholson is an American retired actor and filmmaker. Nicholson is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of the 20th century. Throughout his five-decade career, he received numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards, three BAFTA Film Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and a Grammy Award. He also received the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award in 1994 and the Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. Shelley Duvall was an American actress and producer widely known for her portrayal of distinctive, often eccentric characters. In the 1980s, Duvall became famous for her leading roles, which include Olive Oyl in Altman's live-action feature version of Popeye (1980) and Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's horror film The Shining (1980).

Film | L'Eclisse (1962): Italian Romantic Drama Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni


L'eclisse tells the story of a young woman who leaves one lover and drifts into a relationship with another. Using the architecture of Rome as a backdrop for the doomed affair, Antonioni achieves the apotheosis of his style in this return to the theme that preoccupied him the most: the difficulty of connection in an alienating modern world. Director: Michelangelo Antonioni Cast: Alain Delon, Monica Vitti, Francisco Rabal, Lilla Brignone, Louis Seigner Michelangelo Antonioni was an Italian film director, screenwriter, and editor. His films have been described as "enigmatic and intricate mood pieces" that feature striking visual composition, subdued narratives, and a preoccupation with modern landscapes. His work substantially influenced subsequent world art cinema, including the slow cinema movement. Antonioni received numerous awards and nominations throughout his career, winning the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion, the Golden Bear, and the Golden Leopard. In Italian with English subtitles.

Book Discussion | Art Historian & Critic Shares Her 2025 Book on the History of Artists' Protests


Writer and editor Lauren O’Neill-Butler discusses her new book, The War of Art. Named a best book of 2025 by NPR, The War of Art tells the history of artist-led activism and the global political and aesthetic debates from the 1960s to the present. Artists in America have long battled against injustices, believing that art can, in fact, “do more.” The War of Art tells this history of artist-led activism and the global political and aesthetic debates from the 1960s to the present. In contrast to the financialized art market and celebrity artists, the book explores the power of collective effort — from protesting to philanthropy, and from wheat-pasting to planting a field of wheat.

Now, New York Times bestselling author Marisa Meltzer sheds new light on Birkin's enigmatic life and explores her profound influence on generations in a rigorously reported biography unlike any other.

Dance Performance | Open Rehearsal: A Choreographic Journey


Artists host an intimate first look at the creative process of our developing work, Exposed. This rehearsal was followed by a Wine and Cheese Reception.  Exposed is an evening-length work that explores vulnerability, vision, and courage. The scenic design creates an ever-changing landscape of pathways, levels, and partitions that conceals, distorts, confounds, beckons, and demands resilience. The choreography traces a journey from fragmentation and restraint to openness and release, unfolding through fluid partnering, interconnected ensemble work, sweeping phrases, buoyant lifts, and soaring moments of suspension that embody trust and transformation.

Book Discussion | James Beard Award-Winning TV Food Expert Shares Her New Book on Chinese Cuisine


Fuchsia Dunlop explores the magical complexity of one of the world's greatest cuisines. 'Fuchsia Dunlop has done more to explain real Chinese cooking to non-Chinese cooks than anyone', according to The New York Times. Dunlop, a four-time James Beard award winner and TV food expert (Chef's Table; Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown) has already explored Hunan cooking and Szechuan food with her large legion of readers. Now, in her latest book, she tackles the "five tastes" which a Chinese chef needs to be able to marshal harmoniously: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and pungent. The delectable result might be green beans with "strange-flavor" sauce, spicy peanut butter noodles, or a steamed fish that sings with citrus notes.

Staged Reading | Hallway House: Original Romantic, Friendship Drama


Dianne, Emily, and Michael lived on the same coed freshman hallway at college, and when Emily and Michael's lives fall apart, they take refuge in the large house that Dianne, as a successful romance writer, owns. The friends are obsessed with the Algonquin Roundtable. They quote the witty Algonquinites: Dorothy Parker and so on. Emily and Michael worry that their odd, intense friendship and obscure reference points make it hard for them to have long-term relationships with "normal" people. Currently, Emily's marriage is falling apart, and she goes a final round with her soon-to-be-ex-husband when he stops by. Meanwhile, Michael, after years alone, is thinking of starting a new relationship with Connor, who is much younger and knows nothing of the literary figures the three friends admire. But maybe that does not matter, and maybe Connor should not be underestimated. Directed by Judy Klass. Written by David Barlow.

Talk | Photographer & Historian Explore the Dandy Subculture


Explore an inclusive landscape where dandyism belongs to anyone obsessed with masculine elegance, regardless of class, race, age, sexuality, or gender. For more than a decade, photographer Rose Callahan and writer Nathaniel Adams have explored the many meanings of dandyism through their acclaimed books I Am Dandy, We Are Dandy, and most recently, They Are Dandy. Far from a homogeneous relic of the past, contemporary dandyism offers a powerful means of asserting identity, embracing visibility, and challenging rigid societal norms. Rose Callahan is a photographer known for her evocative portraits that celebrate the transformative power of style, while Nathaniel Adams is a writer and historian with a focus on dandyism, subculture, and men's fashion. Books will be available for purchase. Dandy Style is highly encouraged!

Staged Reading | Best Line Wins: Original Comedy on Friendship & Ambition


Nichols & May were one of the greatest comedy duos of all time-- they performed together for only four years (and were lovers for only three days, or so the legend goes), but their comedy shaped a generation. After disbanding their act, the talented and charming Mike Nichols goes on to be an incredibly successful director of stage and screen, while the brilliant but "difficult" Elaine May has more of a roller coaster career, struggling as a screenwriter and director, ultimately making a living as a ghostwriter and go-to script doctor. When her old partner approaches her to write the screenplay for a comedy he's set to direct-- an English adaptation of the French film La Cage Aux Folles -- Elaine must wrestle with what matters more: succeeding on her own or reuniting with the partner who has always known her true worth. A comedy with plenty of belly laughs and a couple of solid gut punches. Written by Beth Kander.

Classical Music | A Child of Our Time: Orchestral & Choral Performance Drawing on African American Spirituals


This performance invites audiences to reflect on where we have been, where we are, and the future we want to create. More than a concert, A Child of Our Time is seen as a reminder of the power of music to bear witness, challenge injustice, and bring people together. Written in response to the rise of fascism in Europe and the violence of Kristallnacht in 1938, Tippett's powerful oratorio for chorus and orchestra draws on African American spirituals. For Tippett, these songs expressed a universal truth: even in the face of injustice, the human spirit endures. Singers from the New York Choral Society (NYCHORAL) will join the Mannes Orchestra, conducted by David Hayes, with an acclaimed cast of soloists from the Mannes faculty: Laquita Mitchell, William Burden, Margaret Lattimore, and Stephen Powell.

Film | The Return of Martin Guerre (1982): French Historical Drama (+ Discussion)


The Return of Martin Guerre is based on a case of imposture in 16th century France involving Martin Guerre, a French peasant and ex-soldier. The movie is rooted in the documentary record of this celebrated trial that raises questions concerning identity, deception, and marriage. The case became the basis for historian Natalie Zemon Davis's influential book reconstructing village life in early modern France, demonstrating how legal archives can provide rare insight into the social relationships, values, and everyday experiences of ordinary people whose voices are seldom preserved in the historical record. Director: Daniel Vigne Cast: Gérard Depardieu, Nathalie Baye Screening followed by discussion with Shanny Peer and Jeffrey Freedman. Please review the venue's access requirements.
