Play | Seven in One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid: A Family Play Inspired by The Grimm's Fairy Tale!


" ...(a) genuinely sweet, heart-warming, heart-filling hour of theatre." - NYTheatre.com "...what could be better than a play that asks you to shout? Well, one that asks you to sing..." - The New York Times Adapted from the classic fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm, The Brave Little Tailor. Seven In One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid tells the story of a child living in the city who kills seven flies with a single swat and makes a belt emblazoned with "SEVEN IN ONE BLOW" to commemorate the event. As he is traveling about, most people think his belt refers to seven people and assign the Kid all kinds of difficult tasks based on this faulty presumption. Along the way a few interesting things are learned: an Ogre finds that you don't always have to show how strong you are... sometimes it's okay just to be quiet about it; a girl realizes that when you tease people you are hurting someone who may be just like you; and a scary monster understands that because she is loved, she may not be so scary after all. In the end, the Kid ultimately discovers that a parent's love and care has no bounds..

Play | Seven in One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid: A Family Play Inspired by The Grimm's Fairy Tale!


" ...(a) genuinely sweet, heart-warming, heart-filling hour of theatre." - NYTheatre.com "...what could be better than a play that asks you to shout? Well, one that asks you to sing..." - The New York Times Adapted from the classic fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm, The Brave Little Tailor. Seven In One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid tells the story of a child living in the city who kills seven flies with a single swat and makes a belt emblazoned with "SEVEN IN ONE BLOW" to commemorate the event. As he is traveling about, most people think his belt refers to seven people and assign the Kid all kinds of difficult tasks based on this faulty presumption. Along the way a few interesting things are learned: an Ogre finds that you don't always have to show how strong you are... sometimes it's okay just to be quiet about it; a girl realizes that when you tease people you are hurting someone who may be just like you; and a scary monster understands that because she is loved, she may not be so scary after all. In the end, the Kid ultimately discovers that a parent's love and care has no bounds..

Classical Music | Sing-A-Long Medieval Melodies Walk


Led by conductor James John, artistic director of the Cerddorion Vocal Ensemble, headlamp-clad singers will walk a route through the Upper West Side to sing medieval melodies once sung on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The procession will culminate with a performance of "Whatever Happens Next" by award-winning British composer Pete M. Wyer. This new work is the evolution of "Street Motet No. 1" which was commissioned by Make Music New York for the 2024 Make Music Winter celebrations and is a 'motet' in the broadest sense -- not a religious piece per se, but a meditation and a blessing of good wishes to NYC residents. Singers of all skill levels are invited to join, from beginners to early music specialists; everyone is welcome, so don't be shy! Dress warmly, in layers, and bring only what you can carry with you. Music scores will be provided.

Book Discussion | James Beard Award-Winning Founder of Nobu, Drew Nieporent, Shares His New Book


I'm Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches with Drew Nieporent. Drew Nieporent is a legend in New York's food world-known as "the restaurateur's restaurateur" (Danny Meyer) and "one of the people who changed American restaurants" (Ruth Reichl). The James Beard Award-winning founder of Nobu, Montrachet, and Tribeca Grill has long been celebrated for what Meyer calls "his insatiable appetites for food, hospitality, showmanship, and winning." He's also known as a spellbinding raconteur. In his new book, I'm Not Trying To Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches, Nieporent tells the dramatic story of his own rise to power--from waiting tables to leading a culinary empire--and his eventual partnerships with movie men like Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, and Francis Ford Coppola. This "startlingly honest" book is not just a memoir, but the portrait of an evolving industry, as Nieporent "takes you behind the kitchen door to show you how the business really works" (Reichl).

Explore a dramatic but little-known moment in New York's past in this online book talk about the 1906 boycott of public school Christmas pageants.

Lecture | Learn More about Claude Monet


This talk by Eleanor Sypher will dive into the life of Claude Monet (1840-1926), one of the foremost landscape painters in Western Art. He intuitively understood how the eye perceives light and color, as expressed in his plein air paintings. Monet hoped to document the French countryside with his series of Haystacks, Rouen Cathedral, and waterlilies which he portrayed in his garden at Giverny. In 1908, he made a quick trip to Venice and some of those images are now on display at The Brooklyn Museum.

Discussion | Artist & Curator Discuss New Animations Exhibition


Artist Marina Zurkow and curator Christiane Paul will discuss Zurkow’s exhibition, Parting Worlds, and her Hyundai Terrace Commission at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The conversation will explore the three software-driven animations shown at the museum — Mesocosm (Wink, TX) (2012), The Earth Eaters (2025), and The River is A Circle (2025) — in the context of the artist’s broader practice. Zurkow’s work has consistently engaged with the complexity of ecological and social systems and the effects of their temporal and cyclical structure. The artist will discuss how she has addressed planetarity, our interdependence with Earth as a planet, geological time, and fossil fuel formation across various media in different presentation formats. Zurkow’s work process and the technicalities of creating her art — from animation and software to card games and food-based pieces — will also be a focus of the dialogue. The conversation will investigate environmental change due to human intervention, natural evolution, and the role of art in probing possibilities of renewal.

Celebrating the visionary, boundary-pushing artistry of the Nordic countries, audiences are invited to transport themselves to the north for a night.

Book Club | Discuss I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman


At this book club meeting, participants will discuss I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, a searing and quick read that packs a punch, perfect for starting off the new year strong. Synopsis:Deep underground, thirty-nine women and one girl live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only a vague recollection of their lives before. One day an alarm sounds, the guards flee, and their cage is left open. When they escape, they'll discover the world they left behind and what, if anything, awaits them above. Harpman's post-apocalyptic modern classic is embedded with themes of feminism and intimacy to critique how far people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation.

Classical Music | Original Monologues with Local Writers


This evening of monologues brings several talented writers to the microphone to read/act out/emote their true tales about a pivotal moment in life. The monologue is an amalgam of the written word and performance, and the form has become an increasingly popular literary/theatrical phenomenon. Expect to hear true stories that are funny, engaging, poignant, memorable, and relatable. When spoken aloud, a writer’s first-person story becomes something else—a monologue that is enacted for an audience. The emphasis for this event is on the quality of the written piece—but told to the audience in a compelling way.

Talk | Architect Elizabeth Roberts Discusses Her Career


Enjoy an evening with architect Elizabeth Roberts, founder of one of New York’s most sought-after design firms, who has earned both critical acclaim and a devoted following for shaping spaces that deftly honor history while celebrating contemporary life. From her modern take on iconic furnishings to her understanding of how shared spaces come alive in restaurants and hotels to her penchant for imparting a sense of history into ground-up homes, Roberts has built a practice of specificity by dissolving the boundaries between architecture, objects, and interior design. Roberts will discuss her book, Elizabeth Roberts Architects: Collected Stories (Monacelli Press), an intentionally unconventional monograph that weaves project documentation with fiction, historical ephemera with hand-drawn sketches. She'll share how she approaches her projects at stories, how listening shapes her solutions, and why perfection is never the goal. Signed copies of Collected Stories will be available for purchase.

Conceived as a musical hymn to Apollo, the ancient Greek god of music and light, this program explores the notion of light and shade (chiaroscuro) translated to sound. Through sharp contrasts, rhapsodic vs. rhythmic dances, lamentation vs. celebration, and inner monologue vs. lively dialogue, the ensemble (Ben Katz, harpsichord, Dani Zanuttini-Frank, theorbo, Amanda Beranek, Baroque harp, and Jackie Hager and Nathan Francisco, violoncellos) searches out a magical middle ground, where time stops for a moment and ancient flames flicker once more.

Opening Reception | Next Up: Ripples: Multi-Artist Show Exploring Personal Histories and Collective Memories


The 14 artists in the exhibition Next Up: Ripples explore the porous boundaries between personal histories and collective memories by way of drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography. Distilling the patterns from nature, home, and childhood, the works on view find comfort in the past while evaluating the structures that aim to organize or contain these moments. While such arbitrary edges may provide emotions and histories with a sense of scale and shape, they cannot fully contain the expansiveness of nature and human life. At its best, generalization offers helpful labels for identification and community, but it can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes by those seeking to justify harsh judgment or ignorance. These artists evaluate the role of boundaries in their own lives, questioning the human inclination to delineate thresholds rather than build bridges to cross them. Through acts of imagination, thoughtful study, and playful depictions, the works on view represent shared pursuits of a more empathetic world.

Opening Reception | Multimedia, Multi-Artist Exhibition on Sensory Overload: Only a God Can Save Us


BFA Visual and Critical Studies presents Only A God Can Save Us, an exhibition of multi-media work curated by BFA Visual and Critical Studies student Dylan Smith and featuring the work of faculty member Joey Gonnella, Nicholas Sanchez, Chloe Lesser, and Sam Stewart.  What role does appropriated imagery play in a world of sensory overload? In response to this question, four artists from Generation Z currently working with reappropriated imagery will exhibit works critically engaging with the contemporary image and its role, expounding upon the longstanding tradition of appropriation within contemporary art through the utilization of a distinctly poetic approach to tonality. Rather than seeking reflexive distance or an ironic gaze, the works showcased demonstrate a uniquely vulnerable and, at times, spiritual approach to the art of the found image.

Opening Reception | New Works Exploring Science, Systems, and Humor


This solo exhibition features new works by Mark Dion, whose practice explores and challenges the structures of science, education, and cultural institutions. Using found objects, sculpture, and works on paper, Dion employs the visual language of museums, field guides, and instructional diagrams, only to undermine their authority with humor and ambiguity. The exhibition includes drawings of animals that mimic educational illustrations, blending familiar images with elusive or unstable meanings. Striking a balance between wit and critique, Dion’s work questions how systems of knowledge are built and whether their promised logic and truth still apply today.

Look Out is an exploration of long-distance mapping, aerial photography, and top-down and far-ranging perspectives—from pre–Civil War America to our vexed modern times of drone warfare, hyper-surveillance at home and abroad, and quarantine and protest. Blending history, reporting, personal experience, and accounts of activists, programmers, spies, astronauts, artists, inventors, and dreamers, Edward McPherson reveals that to see is to control—and the stakes are high for everyone.

Opening Reception | Multi-Artist Exhibition on Bodies & Souls in the Digital Age


This exhibition. Liquid Crystal Respawn, investigates the porous spaces between life and artifice. The artworks operate within a long lineage of performance as a method of testing the body’s thresholds: what can be outsourced, coded, automated, ritualized, or rebuilt. In these practices, inanimate forms become sites of emotional and spiritual projection, echoing ancient stories of golems—automata brought to life from clay through ritual intention. Only here, golems are not the soulless automata of Jewish folklore, but humans reconfigured. These tender, uncanny bodies emerge from tradition, memory, labor, and intimacy, and the bodies and souls of their artist makers. This continual cycle becomes a survival mechanism of collapse and reconstitution, as autonomic as the impulse to deactivate and then later reactivate a social media account. Together, these artists and their works resist narratives of human obsolescence by staging the posthuman as something sensorial and affective. Their work defends emotional life from within the liquid crystal display, inviting viewers to slow down and smell the digital flowers. Artists include Sadrie Alves, Dahlia Bloomstone, Clare Gatto, Kara Güt, Maya Man, Krysta Sa, and Asia Stewart.

This joint presentation features two interconnected exhibitions by Simone Fattal, celebrating the artist’s return to New York after her 2019 survey at MoMA PS1. Covering sculpture, drawing, and collage, Fattal’s work links the ancient with the modern, drawing on mythic, literary, and archaeological references from the Mediterranean region.

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.

Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

Reading | Publishers Weekly Writer Shares Her New Nonfiction Book, Nothing Random


Publishers Weekly writer/editor Gayle Feldman reads from her new book Nothing Random. Synopsis: At midcentury, everyone knew Bennett Cerf: witty, beloved, middle-aged panelist on What’s My Line? whom TV brought into America’s homes each week. But they didn’t know that the handsome, driven, paradoxical young man of the 1920s had vowed to become a great publisher and, a decade later, was. By then, he’d signed Eugene O’Neill, Gertrude Stein, and William Faulkner, and had fought the landmark censorship case that gave Americans the freedom to read James Joyce’s Ulysses. With his best friend and lifelong business partner Donald Klopfer, and other young Jewish entrepreneurs like the Knopfs and Simon & Schuster, Cerf remade the book business: what was published, and how. Using interviews with more than two hundred individuals, deeply researched archival material, and letters from private collections not previously available, this book brings Bennett Cerf to vibrant life.

Director: Charlie Chaplin Cast: Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Sydney Chaplin, Tippi Hedren, Patrick Cargill Charlie Chaplin was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film.

Enjoy the exhibit Konstantin Bokov’s Journey Through the New York Cityscape, which features a selection of works on paper and objects from the Kolodzei Art Foundation’s collection by the prominent mixed media artist, Konstantin Bokov, which offers a glimpse into his creative process and celebrates his artistic journey. Konstantin Bokov was born in Shostka, Ukraine, to the Soviet poet and songwriter, Victor Bokov, in 1940. Pursuing a career as an artist was encouraged by his family, and at a young age, he attended the Art Academy of Leningrad in St. Petersburg. After his studies, Bokov moved to Moscow, where he discovered the works of Vincent Van Gogh and knew he had found his calling. Feeling the urge for freedom and artistic expression, Bokov immigrated to New York City in 1974, where the atmosphere of the art world was on the brink of change. A talented draftsman, he is always drawing, capturing the energy and mood of a scene with his impressions and observations of the surroundings. With his vivid imagination, Bokov also utilizes paint, fabric, plastic, and everyday found objects to explore his creative ideas.

Film | Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat (2024): Documentary about the Cold War & Jazz Activism


United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup. 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.

Book Discussion | Journalist Discusses Her New Book, Looted: Rescuing Italy’s Stolen Treasures


Italian American journalist Frances Vieta is in conversation with Roundtable member Linda Selman as she offers a rare glimpse into the complexities of the art world’s dark underbelly. Vieta will discuss her new book, Looted: Rescuing Italy’s Stolen Treasures.  You will learn of the shadowy network of tomb robbers and the corrupt smugglers and dealers exploiting Italy’s ancient archaeological sites and New York City’s prestigious art galleries and museums. In 1973, the $1 million purchase of the Euphronios Krater by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art persuaded Vieta, a young journalist fresh from college, to join forces with Rodolfo Siviero, Italy’s renowned art recovery expert, and the Carabinieri Art Squad. Their decades-long mission to identify and rescue priceless artifacts involved history, drama, danger, and legal battles. Vieta will sign copies of the book after the presentation.

Lecture | Historian Discusses Libertinism in 18th-Century Russia & Europe (In Person AND Online!)


This talk, based on a forthcoming book about three generations of the Beloselskii family, is a reflection on whether these aristocrats’ sexual licentiousness could be seen as a form of libertinism. References to illicit liaisons practiced by the Russian elite, to sexual licentiousness and sexual abuse abound on the pages of eighteenth-century letters and diplomatic dispatches, diaries, and police reports. There was much that was cruel and absurd about these episodes – and occasionally comic, too. The stories of eighteenth-century debauchery were often used for othering Russia vis-à-vis Western Europe, but this was the Libertine Age across all of Europe.  Igor Fedyukin is the Associate Professor of History at ShanghaiTech University in Shanghai, China. A historian of early modern Russia and a historian of education, he is the former founding Director of the Center for History of Modern Russia at HSE University (Moscow) and the author of The Enterprisers: The Politics of School in Early Modern Russia, in addition to numerous edited volumes.

Director: Charlie Chaplin Cast: Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Sydney Chaplin, Tippi Hedren, Patrick Cargill Charlie Chaplin was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film.

Halli Anderson, Daniel Shearin, Ryan O'Keefe, and Alex McWalters are River Whyless, a band from Asheville, North Carolina whose music sits between folk, indie, and something harder to define. The group's recent NPR Tiny Desk and their showcase appearances at The Newport Folk Festival and Bonnaroo have earned them an avid audience drawn to their reputation for thoughtful songwriting, surprising arrangements, and lush harmonies. The band's most recent album, Monoflora, is a conversation between River Whyless's four distinct voices, charting a winding collective pathway between tradition and experimentation, between the familiar and the unexpected. River Whyless will play music from their forthcoming new LP and from throughout their career. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2.

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.

Reading | NYT Journalist Shares His New Book, Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants


In this conversation about Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants, author Erik Piepenburg takes us on a culinary tour of spaces filled with joy, sex, sorrow, activism, and nostalgia, joined by colleagues from the food world Florent Morellet, Telly Justice, and Camille Lindsley. Dining Out explores how gay people came of age, came out, and fought for their rights not just in gay bars or the streets, but in restaurants. From cruisy urban cafeterias of the 1920s to mom-and-pop diners that fed the Stonewall generation to the intersectional hotspots of the early 21st century. Using archival material, original reporting and interviews, and first-person accounts, Erik Piepenburg explores how LGBTQ restaurants shaped and continue to shape generations of gay Americans.

Lecture | Expert Discusses Sokrates & the Athens Agora


In collaboration with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, lecturer John K. Papadopoulos, Director of Excavations at the Athenian Agora, discusses Sokrates while providing an update on some of the great philosopher's favorite and less favored haunts in the Agora, a commercial and political centre in Athens during the Classical period dating back approximately five thousands years. There are very few ancient individuals with the name recognition of Sokrates. Not bad for a person who never wrote anything! Papadopoulos reviews the life and death of this complex, avuncular character, visiting some of his favorite haunts in the Agora — the Stoa of Zeus Eleutherios, the House of Simon the Cobbler, amongst others — as well as some of his less favored including the putative “state prison.” In so doing, new evidence will be presented and older perspectives reviewed, providing a greater understanding of this fascinating, seminal figure in Western thought.

Anderson, Book Bans, and the Fight to Modernize Literature. Together, Feldman and Morgan will explore two pivotal figures who reshaped American publishing, challenged the boundaries of literary freedom, and fought for readers’ right to read James Joyce’s Ulysses. From Bennett Cerf’s founding of Random House and his championing of bold new voices, to Margaret C. Anderson’s defiance of censorship and her groundbreaking magazine The Little Review, the discussion will illuminate how both helped define what we read and why it matters today.

Discussion | Experts Reflect on the "New Enlightenment" of the Anthropocene Era


This ecology conversation event brings together Corine Pelluchon, a French philosopher whose work examines the moral and political underpinnings of our relationship with the environment; Ana Porzecanski, Director of the Center for Biodiversity & Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History; Cyrille Barnerias, Director of International Relations at the French Office for Biodiversity; and Kristina Douglass, an archaeologist and professor at the Columbia Climate School. The conversation will be moderated by Sarah Sax, an award-winning investigative journalist specializing in environmental issues. Together, they will reflect on the idea of a “New Enlightenment” for the Anthropocene era. As we confront the decline of biodiversity, the discussion will explore emerging forms of interdependence among human, animal, and plant life. Organizers will ask: How might the ways earlier societies and ecosystems co-adapted to climate pressures inform us today? Can we imagine a new social contract that would bring forth a more equitable coexistence between human and nonhuman worlds? How might an expanded sense of “the other” and a heightened awareness of contemporary vulnerabilities be translated into public policy? How can public engagement be designed to turn these concepts from ideals to actions?

Anne Lamott writes, “Molly Jong-Fast’s memoir is mesmerizing, intimate, wise, unputdownable, crazily honest, heartbreaking, funny, illuminating—beautiful and painful at the same time, just like real life.” Jong-Fast will appear in conversation with Susan Shapiro, author and co-author of eighteen books, including the memoir Five Men Who Broke My Heart, recently optioned for a movie.

Opening Reception | Next Up: Tightrope: Multi-Artist Exhibition Exploring Connectednes


In Next Up: Tightrope, 13 artists aim to inform and inspire across bold, material-forward works in design, painting, sculpture, and printmaking. Spanning myriad topics, including the pace of contemporary life, historical texts, psychology, resistance, and self-definition, the exhibition prompts viewers to consider lessons taught by the past, emphasizing the interconnectedness of pattern (in both conceptual and visual respects), play, and introspection. In a world where physicality is increasingly disconnected from the mind, as evidenced by the rapid adoption of large language models and AI-generated images, the comprehension of humanity is being reconfigured with imagined and real perils all around. Through studies of cycles and stories across history, the work asserts that resilience comes from social connectedness, not isolated individualism. Approaching “what comes next” with a sense of hopeful optimism, these artists take on the challenges of creating work with clear-eyed determination in changing times.

In his new book Street Scenes, Penman pays homage to the world's vibrant metropolises—from the shimmering lights of New York to the enchanted alleyways of Paris and the dynamic streets of Tokyo. Each of his images is a window into the emotional moments and impressive facets of urban life, masterfully captured through his lens. Penman's work is an invitation to see the complexity and beauty of urban landscapes with new eyes. The photographer shows us dynamic scenes that capture vibrant life, as well as quiet moments that inspire pause and reflect the soul of cities. A Q&A will follow, as well as a book signing.

Concert | Indie Rock with Wild Pink


Over the past nine years, the New York-based band Wild Pink has established itself as one of the most consistently versatile and engaging groups in indie rock. Wild Pink’s recent 2024 LP Dulling the Horns has attracted critical acclaim for frontman and lead songwriter John Ross's introspective lyrics, which draw from deeply personal experience and a sea of pop culture curiosities from J.R.R. Tolkien to Michael Jordan. The album's bold and unexpected storytelling is supported by what Stereogum defines as a "heavy sonic palette with huge, reverberating distorted chords" and what Pitchfork calls "simultaneously weirder and more fun than anything else in Wild Pink's discography." Ross’s storytelling process, exploring how he reflects his truth through music. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2.

This event features filmmaker and author John Sayles discussing his new novel, Crucible, with Professor Jerry Carlson. Sayles has twice been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, and once for the National Book Award.  John Sayles’ Crucible is a complex and vast historical novel about Henry Ford — the Elon Musk of his day, in more ways than one — and his attempt to rule not only an automotive empire but the rambunctious city of Detroit. It is an epic tale ranging from the 1920s through the second World War, featuring violent labor disputes, misbegotten jungle expeditions, a tragic race riot, and the Gestapo tactics of Ford’s private army.
