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.

Talk | Expert Discusses Interconnected History of Italy & Brazil


Author Giulia Ricco speaks about her book and the history of Italians in Brazil in conversation withFrancesca Parmeggiani (Fordham University) and Zita Nunes (University of Pennsylvania). The Italian Colony of Sao Paulo: Race, Class, and Cultural Capital in Brazil argues that, contrary to what one might expect, Italians first became racialized as white in Sao Paulo, Brazil at the turn of the twentieth century. This book brings to light how the overlooked experiences of Italians in Brazil complicate conventional narratives about the racial ambiguity and oppression of Italians in the Americas, on the one hand, and the conflation of Italians with cultural and economic backwardness in Europe, on the other. About the Author: Giulia Ricco is an Assistant Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her research and teaching focus on modern Italian and Brazilian literature and culture, with particular attention to nationalism and migration.

Author Reading | Hear from Legendary Actor Leonard Nimoy's Son about His Father


Discover how the son of Spock learned to navigate this tumultuous relationship, and how he was finally able to reconcile with his father, and with himself. While the tabloids and fan publications portrayed the Nimoys as a “close family,” to his son Adam, Leonard Nimoy was a total stranger. The actor was as inscrutable as the iconic half-Vulcan science officer he portrayed on Star Trek, even to those close to him. Now, Adam Nimoy’s poignant memoir explores their complicated relationship and how it informed his views on marriage, parenting, and later, sobriety. Despite their differences, both men ventured down parallel paths: marriages leading to divorce, battling addiction, and finding recovery. Most notably, both men struggled to take the ninth step in their AA journey: to make amends with each other.  RSVP does not guarantee entry. Coat check is limited.

Discussion | Three Experts Exchange Opinions on the Legacy of French Enlightenment


Enlightenment professor Antoine Lilti, in conversation with history professor Carl Wennerlind and French professor Joanna Stalnaker. The Enlightenment has come under substantial attack over the past several years, with some going so far as to recommend leaving its thinkers--and their Eurocentric prejudices--behind. On the other hand, the most orthodox defenders of the Enlightenment insist that its values are not just foundational but indispensable and that leaving them behind means opening the door to nihilism and relativism. For Antoine Lilti, one of the leading scholars of the French Enlightenment, both sides are wrong.

Book Club | Group Discussion: The Stranger in the Lifeboat by Mitch Albom


Talk about and analyze The Stranger in the Lifeboat with others! Synopsis: Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, nine people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him in. Thank the Lord we found you, a passenger says. I am the Lord, the man whispers. Is this strange and quiet man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to cause the explosion? Are the survivors already in heaven, or are they in hell? The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is later discovered, a year later, when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat. It falls to the island's chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened.

Bestelling author Catherine Cusset in conversation with French & Comparative Literature professor Elisabeth Ladenson. One has a reputation for being a difficult writer; the other is an easy painter, accessible to all. Catherine Cusset has devoted a novel to the British David Hockney and a personal essay to Marcel Proust.

Concert | Rock Out in the Park: Soccer Mommy, Hurray for the Riff Raff, & More


Over the past 10 years, Soccer Mommy's Sophie Allison has established herself as one of the most distinctive voices in indie rock. She writes tender songs with gorgeous guitar tones that ruminate on love, self-doubt, and vulnerability. Her 2020 LP Color Theory became a lodestar during the pandemic, with songs like "Circle the Drain" and "Crawling in My Skin" reflecting the turmoil of isolation through '90s grunge riffs and soaring hooks. Hurray for the Riff Raff's Alynda Segarra ran away from home as a teen to ride the rails and see the country before settling in New Orleans, where they became a promising folk musician. Their latest LP, The Past Is Still Alive, digs into their years riding the rails and sleeping under the stars. Avant-pop band Dummy will round out the evening with their heavy, transfixing sound. Their last full-length album, 2024's Free Energy, was named a Stereogum Album of the Week.

Classical Music | Hindustani Classical Works for Guitar & Piano (In Person AND Online!)


This performance presents a unique conversation between two groundbreaking artists -- Alec Goldfarb (Hindustani classical guitar) and Utsav Lal (piano) -- in a powerful reimagining of Hindustani classical music. Trained in the rigor of the tradition, Goldfarb and Lal push the boundaries of form and texture, expanding the idiom with shifting rhythmic architectures, new harmonic terrains, and uncanny textures. Indian pianist/composer Utsav lal, often known as the 'Raga Pianist' is recognised as the rarest of pianists. Stunning the world with his innovative handling of Indian Classical Music on a Western instrument, The Irish Times describes Utsav Lal as "a fleet-fingered performer whose best moments can be both highly evocative and dazzling." Lal's ground-breaking work has garnered an impressive career spanning two decades, with solo performances at world famous venues like Carnegie Hall (New York), Southbank Centre (London), Kennedy Center (Washington DC), Steinway Hall (New York), Asia Society (Hong Kong), Arts Center (Melbourne). Alec Goldfarb is a Brooklyn-based guitarist, composer, and Hindustani classical musician known for blending jazz, new music, and Indian classical traditions. A DownBeat Magazine award-winning composer, his music is described as "full of ingenious juxtapositions" (The Wire), and unravels hidden meeting points between disparate sound cultures, revealing the intricate movement of traditions across time. You must register separately for each concert, and there is a strict deadline: 11am the day before each concert. You will not be allowed on campus without registering.

Discussion | Learning about Black Contributions to Broadway for Black Theatre Day


Celebrate Black Theatre Day with a discussion between members of the advisory panel of the exhibition, Syncopated Stages: Black Disruptions to the Great White Way. The panel will reflect on the exhibition and the work and legacy of its late curator, Professor Michael D. Dinwiddie. Although the common nickname for Broadway, "the Great White Way," refers, historically, to its dazzling lights, the phrase also suggests the ways in which many histories of New York theater center white artists. Black artists, though, have been important shapers of musical theater in the United States before the electric light was ever used on stage. In the early 20th century, Black composers and writers created many popular musicals in New York that helped define the genre, setting it apart from 19th-century traditions. New forms of syncopation, the disruption of the dominant rhythm, and narratives composed and written by Black artists challenged the prevailing sounds and depictions of Black people on stage.  They pushed back against exclusion and stereotype, laying the groundwork for generations of Black artists whose contributions have reshaped Broadway. Syncopated Stages spotlights their work, acknowledges the challenges they faced, and celebrates the brilliance of what they made—exploring how Black artists transformed the New York stage and how their work still reverberates today.

Book Club | Discuss the Novella Paul Celan & the Trans-Tibetan Angel by Yoko Tawada


Analyze and talk about Paul Celan & the Trans-Tibetan Angel by National Book Award winner Yoko Tawada, translated from German by Susan Bernofsky. Synopsis: Originally published in 2020, Tawada's latest is presciently set in a pandemic-emerging Berlin. Her protagonist initially refers to himself as “the patient,” struggling with leaving his “own four walls.” He reveals a name, Patrik, possibly necessary for interfacing with (select) others. He recently walked out of his job as a research assistant for a professor of German literature, a self-denying narcissist who is particularly and vocally contemptuous of poet Paul Celan’s work. That derision fueled Patrik’s interest in Celan, inspiring him to register for a Celan conference in Paris. The organizers’ query, What is your nationality?, asked in order to potentially secure funding for Patrik’s participation, sends him on a spiraling search for identity as the German-born son of immigrants. His (maybe) chance meeting with Leo-Eric Fu, a “Trans-Tibetan” (a “Celan word,” Patrik acknowledges), provides comforting friendship over language, literature, books, ancestors, and, of course, Celan.

Opening Reception | Photographs Celebrating Unspectacular Events & Small Shifts in Everyday Life, with Artist Talk


Enjoy the exhibition opening of Regula Ruegg's A Light Within: Photos and Stone, a long-term photographic project that focuses on the often overlooked and subtle shifts that define everyday life. A Light Within also highlights the photographic depiction of Ruegg's sculptural work, rendered mostly in alabaster, and examines the surprising interplay and connection of the two mediums. Ruegg is especially interested in unspectacular events, the small shifts in everyday life, the often overlooked background of the grander things. These subtle and seemingly unpresuming themes are combined with still lifes and impressions from her travels. Recently she started her sculptural work with stone again, after a long period of concentrating on photography. The direct contact with stone - mostly alabaster - made a different creative experience and process possible. It also opened up a surprising connection between the two mediums. he opening reception will include an artist talk with the photographer. The exhibition will remain on view through October 29.

Author Reading | Award-Winning Poet Discusses His New Book, Seabeast


Organized as an alphabetical bestiary, Seabeast lyrically catalogues whale species by common name and behaviors, resulting in a poetic compendium that defies pathetic fallacy even as it sings the similarities between homo sapiens and the marine mammoths that have long captured our fascination. In his fifth full-length collection, writer Rajiv Mohabir winds together the threads of cetacean evolution, natural history, animal migration, and human culture and colonization as they concern the endurance of all species. In anthropomorphizing these complex mammals, Mohabir argues, we overwrite and erase their sublime difference and selfhood, their distinct and separate experience of embodiment; yet, in refusing to recognize the familiarities of whale behavior and social patterns, we subjugate these magnificent creatures, affirming a hierarchy that establishes anything inhuman as inherently less than human and enabling cruelty toward all manner of living things.

Enjoy a conversation with graphic novel publishers Drawn + Quarterly featuring Tom Gauld, Lee Lai, and Mimi Pond. Physics for Cats by Tom Gauld Tom Gauld returns with Physics for Cats, his second collection of science-based cartoons for the New Scientist. Find out why every scientist worth their sodium chloride has a Tom Gauld cartoon taped to their electron microscope. This new batch of hilarious gags will be as important to every self-respecting scientist as a lab coat and goggles and oversize rubber gloves. Cannon by Lee Lai A LAMBDA Award winner and breakout fiction sensation returns with a darkly funny slice of friendship strife. In Cannon, Lee Lai's much anticipated follow-up to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Stone Fruit, the full palette of a nervous breakdown is just a slice of what Lai has on offer. As Cannon's shoulders bend under the weight of an aging Gung-gung and an avoidant mother, Lai's sharp sense of humor and sensitive eye produce a story that will hit readers with a smash. Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me by Mimi Pond Born with pedigrees but without the pocketbooks to match, The Mitfords were certainly no strangers to lies, intrigue, or scandal. Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah. The sisters grew from cloistered turn-of-the-century country girls into debutantes who would marry into political influence--for better or worse. Is it any wonder that a young, working class Mimi in Southern California becomes enamored with The Mitfords' downright fanciful rich-and-famous lifestyle? This charming, inventively cartooned, and lovingly researched biography captures the dramatic, over-the-top antics of high society's strongest personalities as they rubbed elbows with some of history's most infamous fascists and communists.

70,000+ photos in your library? You’re not alone! You know that you need to spend time getting rid of the bad to let the good ones shine, but somehow it never gets done as life gets in the way.

Opening Reception | (We are) Looking at Reality Through a Narrow Keyhole


Canadian artist Chloe Wise's work spans multiple media: sculptures, video, installations, and oil paintings. She has explored themes such as consumer culture, branding, performance, and identity. In all her work, she's used satire, irony, and humor to drive her point home. Her newest point of inspiration is that of perception and reality. The human eye and ear only detect minuscule percentages of what the electromagnetic and sound frequency spectras offer us. Moreso, we are naive and ignorant of what is lurking in our periphery. Wise's paintings are a collection of vignettes in a keyhole, emphasising the narrowness of our realities.

Talk | Discussion on New Philosophy Book: Thinking with Our Ears (In Person AND Online!)


Enjoy a spirited conversation around the release of the English translation of Thinking with Our Ears, written by Director of La Maison Francaise, Francois Noudelmann, translated by Brian J. Reilly. Synopsis: What if we opened our ears to the sound of ideas? We often forget that thought makes noise, whether a great din or light rustling. We have even tried to silence thought. Still, in philosopher's writings, we can hear cries and murmurs. Their voices and accents are part of their thoughts. From the acoustic devices of antiquity to the use of the microphone today, Thinking with Our Ears puts a stethoscope to philosophy, proposing a sound ecology of thought to study the sound environments in which philosophy is created and which philosophy helps create. The panel discussion will include Brian J. Reilly (translator of Thinking with Our Ears), Pauline Nadrigny (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pantheon-Sorbonne), Sylvaine Guyot (Professor in the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture, NYU), Simon Leser (translator and graduate student in the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture, NYU).

Open Studios | New York Artists of Influence: The 1980s Art Boom


The 1980s were a decade of discovery and new ideas; a sense of possibility and fluidity was infectious. Economic recession swung to prosperity, cable TV, along with commodification and consumer desire emerged, all while the Cold War and the HIV crisis came to the forefront. New York was a place at the center of all of this, being a place for discussion -- especially in the world of art. Ultimately, the 80s reflected a mass movement of youth popular culture from music into art. This exhibition celebrates all of these points, highlighting pieces from influential artists of the time, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Jeff Koons, Andy Warhol, and many more.

Opening Reception | Solo Exhibition Exploring the Power of Holding, Releasing, and Transforming Love


What Do I Do with All This Love by Valerie Huhn is a body of work that revisits a question Huhn first asked herself more than twenty-five years ago, when a move from New York City to San Francisco -- and an unexpected breakup -- left her wondering what to do with all the love she still carried. A Rilke quote gifted to her then urged patience and trust in life's unanswered questions. Decades later, standing in her studio surrounded by fingerprinted mylar sheets casting flickering reflections, she realized she was finally living her way into an answer -- through art. This show traces her journey from escaping a psychiatric hospital in Pennsylvania to the freedom she found in New York's creative community, and the hard-earned understanding that freedom and love must be nurtured and protected. What Do I Do With All This Love is both a question and a testament to the enduring power of holding, releasing, and transforming love.

Opening Reception | The Body Experience: Surveilled and Infiltrated 


Contemporary visual and performance artist, P.Staff's newest installation finds a focal point in simulating the sensations of the human body, specifically when possessed or controlled. Staff explores the multiple connotations of the word "possessive" -- re-evaluating the ways in which we think of ownership and the body. Staff merges architecture with the body while psychically perverting our integration with the built environment. Her installation includes a central video project, which is spread across three floors, as well as a series of new sculptures.

Screening | Rendez-vous of the Docks (Le Rendez-vous des quais) (1955): Historic, Controversial French Political Drama Film


Banned in France for nearly thirty years, this film stands as a vital work of political cinema and  chronicle of working-class life in postwar Marseille.  This film is set against the backdrop of the early 1950s dockworkers’ strikes in Marseilles, when the workers—discovering they were unwittingly loading weapons by day and unloading coffins by night—go on strike in opposition to France’s war in Vietnam. The film was censored for 30 years for its anti-colonial, anti-war message and open solidarity with the labor movement, and only rediscovered decades later. Director: Paul Carpita Cast: André Abrias, Jeanine Moretti, Roger Manunta In French with English subtitles.

Author Reading | Expert Discusses His New Book on Paradigm Shift in Social Justice (In Person AND Online!)


Attend a conversation with the author of Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse--an incisive, culturally observant analysis of the evolving mores, manners and taboos of social justice ("anti-racist") orthodoxy, which has profoundly influenced how we think about diversity and freedom of expression, often with complex or paradoxical consequences. In this provocative book, Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the most revered and reviled social commentators of today, paints a clear and detailed picture of the ideas and events that have paved the way for the dramatic paradigm shift in social justice that has taken place over the past few years. Taking aim at the ideology of critical race theory, the rise of an oppressive social media, the fall from Obama to Trump, and the twinned crises of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, Williams documents the extent to which this transition has altered media, artistic creativity, education, employment, policing, and, most profoundly, the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives. Williams also decries how liberalism--the very foundation of an open and vibrant society--is in existential crisis, under assault from both the right and the left, especially in our predominantly networked, Internet-driven monoculture.

How does listening in documentary become a proxy for justice—and what other kinds of listening might be possible? In The Documentary Audit: Listening and the Limits of Accountability, Pooja Rangan examines how documentary listening—through habits she calls neutral, entitled, and juridical—can reinforce structures of profiling, exclusion, and carceral capture, even when framed as progressive or ethical. This launch event brings together three respondents who take up the book’s invitation to think documentary and sound alongside raciolinguistics, disability access activism, and legal forensics: Lakshmi Padmanabhan (Film Scholar, Northwestern University) Jordan Lord (Artist and Writer, Colorado College) LaCharles Ward (Curator and Scholar, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture) Together, they will explore how to refuse listening habits that discipline and punish, and how to reimagine accountability across media, law, and everyday life.

Symposium | Understanding Connections between Health and Art


The WHO reminds us that true health integrates physical, mental, and social well-being—a vision that cannot be fully realized without the arts. At a moment when empathy, scientific integrity, and human dignity feel increasingly fragile, the arts can provide essential nourishment—challenging assumptions, fostering resilience, and cultivating compassionate, connected communities.  This year's symposium will explore if and how participating in the arts can be understood as a health behavior, similar to sleep, nutrition, exercise, and time spent in nature.  Learn from researchers, practitioners, artists, and innovators in illuminating the transformative and intricate ways in which the arts and arts therapies enhance our minds, bodies, and communities.

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.

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.

Lecture | Learn about New York City's Origins in 1625


If you've ever taken a look at the official Seal of the City of New York, you've seen the year "1625" written across the bottom. But why was that year picked as the genesis of New York? Marking the 400th Anniversary of this event, James Nevius -- whose family arrived in Manhattan when it was still New Amsterdam -- will explore the foundations of the city, from Henry Hudson's ill-fated voyage up the river that now bears its name through the eventual Dutch surrender to English forces in 1664. Along the way, he'll talk about the importance of 1625 in the city's mythos and explore what it was like to live on the Dutch frontier in the 17th-century.

Opening Reception | Two-Artists Exhibition on Fame & Parasocial Relationships


This reception introduces Likenesses: Speaking with the Selves, a two-artist exhibition featuring Li-Ming Hu  and Charmaine Poh. This exhibition is the first pairing of their works. Central to this exhibition is a biographical experience shared by both artists—television fame at a young age. In the 2000’s, Hu received a breakout role on New Zealand’s popular soap-opera, Shortland Street, and was later cast as the silver operator on Power Rangers RPM, among other roles. Similarly, Poh starred as the character E-Ching in a hit Singaporean children’s detective show, We are R.E.M., around the same time. Hu’s and Poh’s works on display in this exhibition respond to this time in their lives. Revisiting their former roles, the artists now use performance, installation, and video to re-create and manipulate the context in which their likenesses were used. This exhibition foregrounds not only the parasocial relationship that viewers have with television characters, but also the (dis)connection that actors have with their past roles. Chatrooms and social media have given an unprecedented sense of intimacy between the viewer and the subject, further blurring the boundary between character and actor in their eyes.

Screening | Labor Justice Films: Salt of the Earth (1954) & The Hollywood Ten (1950)


Set in New Mexico's Empire Zinc mine and filmed on location, Salt of the Earth tells the story of Mexican-American workers who strike to protest hazardous working conditions and unequal pay compared to their Anglo coworkers. When a court injunction bars the men from picketing, the women boldly take their place on the front lines--challenging both the mining company and the entrenched gender norms within their own community. Director: Herbert J. Biberman Cast: Rosaura Revueltas, Juan Chacon, Will Geer, David Wolfe In English and Spanish with English subtitles. The Hollywood Ten is a 1950 American short documentary film. Shot in 16mm, it was created quickly to raise public awareness and legal funds for the ten blacklisted screenwriters and directors who comprised the "Hollywood Ten" who faced prison sentences for contempt of Congress stemming from their non-cooperation with the House Un-American Activities Committee Director: John Berry Screenings followed by a discussion with actor/professor Nico Baumbach and Silver City native Doyne Farmer.

Symposium | Reinvigorating 8th Ave in Midtown: Solutions-Focused Forum (In Person AND Online!)


The stretch of Eighth Avenue in the 30s and 40s is a gateway for hundreds of thousands of tourists, theatergoers, suburban visitors, and office workers who arrive in New York through Penn Station or the Port Authority Bus Terminal. But for decades, it has been one of Manhattan’s most uninviting commercial corridors, grappling with a unique set of challenges that many believe have intensified since the pandemic. This solutions-focused forum will discuss what is needed to reinvigorate this important but long-overlooked district. It will explore whether public realm innovations and investments being made in other districts across the city could be replicated on Eighth Avenue, and consider strategies for creating a safer, more vibrant, and more welcoming corridor. And it will examine how city leaders can address persistent quality of life concerns while ensuring that the many people in the district facing serious challenges—whether seeking help or not yet connected to services—receive the support they need.

Listen to a moderated discussion about Transatlantic Relations between Europe and the United States under a second Trump administration.among Sophia Besch (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace), Hans Kundnani (UC Berkeley / London School of Economics), and Tara Varma (Brookings).  The election of Donald Trump to a second term in office has thrown the transatlantic relationship between the United States and the European Union (EU) into disarray.  What are the implications for European security, given that Russia is still waging an aggressive war on Europe’s doorstep? How is the EU responding to the prospect of losing America’s security umbrella? Can it create strategic autonomy, and delink its military from that of the United States? And how are rifts within Europe hindering or helping the EU as it charts a new path through an ever-changing security landscape?

Party | Celebrating the Life of Writer Joan Acocella


This event celebrates the life of writer Joan Acocella. Her friends, colleagues, and collaborators commemorate her life and writings with a series of personal stories and reflections. Her books include her 1993 biography, Mark Morris; Twenty-Eight Artists and Two Saints (2007); and her posthumous volume, The Bloodied Nightgown (2024). Joan Acocella was one of the most vital, intellectually acute, and stylish writers and critics of the last half century. Acocella's writing was incisive, compulsively readable, and always full of surprising insight. It was also plainspoken, down to earth, and often funny. Her death has left a gaping hole in the cultural landscape. Although she was known primarily for her dance criticism, which she published in The New Yorker for over two decades, she was also a prolific book reviewer for both The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books, covering subjects as varied as Willa Cather, Primo Levi, Joan of Arc, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Dracula, Agatha Christie, hangovers, profanity, and Pinocchio.

Talk | Experts Explore the Concept of Public Pharma


Public pharma is an alternative to our current profit-driven pharmaceutical system. Public pharma uses the public sector to research, develop, manufacture, and distribute drugs. "Fixing a Broken System: The Path to Public Pharma in New York" is a critical discussion that will illuminate the transformative potential of publicly owned, manufactured, and distributed pharmaceuticals as we confront an industry that has prioritized profits over patients for too long, leaving patients without access to the medications they need to survive. This future builds on a long history of public pharma in the United States and around the world. Community organizers with type 1 diabetes, legal advocates for patients, and legislative and policy leaders will examine how public control over pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, pricing, and distribution could redirect an industry that has prioritized revenue over patients for decades. Our discussion will focus on proposed legislation that would empower New York State to make and distribute low-cost insulin.

Opening Reception | Oil on Canvas: Realities in Dystopias


Artist Sasha Gordon's pieces can best be described as hyperrealistic. Gordon's execution in technical precision in the layering of oils in electric hues begs to be celebrated. The artist unfolds surreal narratives on canvas, depicting absurd scenarios and disorienting spatial compositions. Ultimately, she reimagines fractions of extracted inner life with envisioned worlds. Her pieces address the viewer with candor in unsettling and familiar intimacy.

Lecture | Expert Discusses Peoples' Political Relationship with Land


Philippe Descola, Professor Emeritus at the Collège de France, explores the cosmopolitics of the Anthropocene. In many parts of the world, the use of land depends on a host of non-human entities endowed with an autonomous agency with whom humans must negotiate – deities, spirits, genies, ancestors, mountains, animals, meteors. The political relationship to the land differs from what we are familiar with in the Western world, either because non-humans are social agents within an encompassing collective, or because they are seen as subjects acting within their own collectives. These examples are worth considering for a less destructive and less anthropocentric approach to the Earth. One of the world’s leading anthropologists, Philippe Descola has developed a comparative anthropology of relations between humans and nonhumans that has revolutionized the human sciences and challenged our ways of thinking about the urgent ecological issues of our time. For Descola, modernity is characterized by the perception of a constitutive division between nature and society.

Author Reading | Historian Discusses His New Book, On Antisemitism


This event marks the launch of On Antisemitism: A Word in History with the author, Mark Mazower. From one of our most eminent historians, a penetrating and timely examination of how the meaning of antisemitism has mutated, with unexpected and troubling consequences. In a piercingly brilliant book that ranges from the term's invention in the late nineteenth century to the present, Mark Mazower argues the landscape is very different. Before the Second World War, Jews were a minority apart and drawn by opposition to Fascism into an alliance with other oppressed peoples. Today, in contrast, Jews are considered "white," and for today's anti-colonialists, Israel's treatment of the Palestinians has become a critical issue. The old Left solidarity is a thing of the past; indeed, the loudest voices decrying antisemitism see it coming from the Left, not the Right.

Staged Reading | The Age of Mary, Original Play about Show Business


Mary, a beloved actress in her seventies, is playing a teenager in a big-budget motion-capture film. She’s having a hard time. She hasn't been a teenager in a while. Russell, her scene partner, is playing a monster. He’s having a hard time. He spends all day feeling like a monster. Sarah, the PA, is trying her best. But her walkie talkie is broken, and her heart can’t stop palpitating. And then there’s David, the director. Gosh, he’s handsome. A play about the parts of ourselves we banish, and the joy and pain of bringing them into the light. Written by Avery Deustch Directed by Anne Kauffman

Screening | Black Box Diaries (2024): Japanese Documentary with Filmmaker Discussion


In 2017, Japanese journalist Shiori Itō publicly accused a prominent media executive (and associate of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe) of rape, and published a bestselling memoir detailing her case — Black Box, a book credited with sparking the #MeToo movement in Japan. Black Box Diaries is a survivor’s real-time investigation of her own sexual assault — and includes raw video diaries (shot on Itō’s iPhone), surreptitious audio recordings of police negligence, and vérité courtroom footage. Itō documents her courageous struggle to navigate Japan’s patriarchal judiciary and antiquated sex crimes laws (proven lack of consent was insufficient) and quest for justice. Director: Shiori Ito

Enjoy an illuminating talk by Dan Nadel about his latest book, Crumb: A Cartoonist's Life, the first biography of Robert Crumb. Nadel will be giving a lecture on his new work and the towering figure at the heart of it, a pioneering artist whose singular, unfiltered style helped redefine the boundaries of comics in the 1960s and beyond. Don't miss this deep dive into the life and legacy of one of the most provocative and important cartoonists of the 20th century. Best known for iconic creations like Zap Comix, Mr. Natural, and Fritz the Cat, Robert Crumb revolutionized the medium with his deeply personal, often controversial work that explored taboo topics, cultural anxieties, and the darker corners of the American psyche. As a founding figure of the underground comix movement, his influence can still be felt across graphic novels, contemporary art, and pop culture at large.

In The Beginning… by Michael Chepiga: In the Beginning takes the audience to one of the earliest meetings ever held, where two men (of course men) debate whether or not they should start something they will call “government.” Unfortunately, they decide to give it a shot. Now… About that Vote by Lindsey Brown: It’s 1919 and we are present at a National Women’s League Committee meeting. The women are preparing a petition to take to Washington which demands the vote for women. But based on ‘rational’ arguments, which women will be eligible? Any of them? If we follow society rules, possibly none! Agnes’s Little War by Rosemary Frisino Toohey: Do citizens have the right to judge political candidates on personal morals? An idealistic voter is threatened when she demands the return of her campaign contribution after learning of a candidate’s philandering.

Talk | Experts Discuss Development vs Preservation in NYC


New York City is at an inflection point, with long-held beliefs and practices on a whole range of issues being questioned and challenged. One is the perpetual struggle between development and preservation, and where and how each fits into the city’s future as we tackle issues like affordability, quality of life, economic growth and stability, and sense of place. Enjoy a conversation with Village Preservation Executive Director Andrew Berman, in which you’ll hear why preservation matters and should be a cornerstone of planning for our city’s future, and why plans for unbridled development almost never bring the promised results. Andrew will be interviewed and joined in the conversation by Dena Tasse-Winter, an architectural and landscape historian and lifelong New Yorker who’s worked in both the public and private sector on these issues for more than 10 years, and Juan Rivero, an urban planner and researcher who’s been immersed in planning and preservation issues in NYC for 20 years, in government, academia, and non-profits. They’ll examine issues ranging from how landmarking works and why it benefits everyone from owners and tenants to the general public, to small business retention and housing affordability, and how they interact with preservation.

This talk delves into the profound significance of vocal expression across the linguistically, musically, and culturally rich tapestry of the African continent. Focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa, the presentation will illuminate how the voice, in both its sung and spoken forms, serves as an indispensable medium for articulating cultural identities, safeguarding historical narratives, and communicating complex social realities.

Even when she’s not blaming or hitting, the threat of her mood keeps her family from bonding, touching, or even speaking long enough to realize she’s playing them against each other. But when little Jiyoo’s feverish memories of loons hint at a troubling crime, Yuna’s estranged sister and guilt-ridden husband begin to reconstruct her movements, the unexplained tragedies in Yuna’s history, and the lies she’s told for years. For the first time, Yuna’s traumatized family members will have to confront the truth of her depravity and learn that no one—no matter how young—is safe from her wrath. After all, Yuna believes that happiness requires subtraction. And she wants nothing less than perfect happiness. You-Jeong Jeong, known as South Korea’s Stephen King, is an award-winning and bestselling author of psychological thrillers and crime fiction. Her novels Seven Years of Darkness, 28, and The Good Son were selected as “Book of the Year” by major media outlets and bookstores, gaining widespread acclaim.

Performance | Adult Puppet Musical


Nuyorican playwright, actor, and puppeteer La Daniella presents the delightful, cartoonishly-twisted origin story of Gooey, an orphaned sorta mermaid making the best of the sewage-filled creek she calls home. With the help of G'wond'rLand radio, Gooey spends each day escaping her putrid reality into a world of her own creation: a world in which she's perfect, beautiful and loved. But when her radio sends her on a journey to G'wond'rLand Theme Park, Gooey comes face-to-face with a dozen oddball puppets who confront her with the truth about her dreams and how she came to be. Watch Gooey, a streetwise rat named Scabby, an animated suitcase, and many more gorgeously grotesque creations perform a wacky puppet musical about finding belonging and community. For ages 12+. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.

Talk | Bestselling Author Discusses His New Book, The Other Side of the Ocean


Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with author J.D. Netto, who will speak about his latest release, The Other Side of the Ocean. J.D. Netto is a Brazilian-American bestselling author, best known for Henderbell, The Echoes of Fallen Stars, and The Broken Miracle. He' s been featured on USA Today, Ok! Magazine, and ABC News. Book Synopsis: For most 16 year olds, life is all about friends, fun, and family. But for Matt Franco, it's different. Because Matt and his family are undocumented immigrants--like many other Brazilian emigres in his town. And that means he can't get a job, he can't get a driver's license, and as for college? Get real. But Matt is also carrying a burden much closer to his own heart. Matt is gay. And right now, he's the only one who knows it. But that changes when handsome, kind-eyed, and charming transfer student James Alberte walks into class. Because James isn't just some queer teen crush. He's everything Matt could ask for--and it's James' love, strength, and support that helps Matt finally come out to the world. Unfortunately, love doesn't necessarily make Matt's situation any easier. He's still stranded by his immigrant status, with a future that seems headed for a dead end. And if he's ever going to be happy, Matt will have to decide what he wants, where he's headed--and who he is at heart

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.

Gallery Talk | Historian Explores History of Greenwich Village


Architectural and social historian Tom Miller will speak about the history of several Greenwich Village locations, discussing the lives of the villagers who lived there. The remoteness of the area that we consider Greenwich Village today resulted in a contrast in the lives of its residents in the 18th century. Tradesmen and farmers lived in relative proximity with grand summer estates of wealthy British officers and, later, equally wealthy newly minted Americans. And in the midst was the state’s prison that offered new employment opportunities to locals.

Film | Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps (1935): Classic Spy Thriller Film


The 39 Steps follows Richard Hannay as he stumbles upon a conspiracy that thrusts him into a hectic chase across the Scottish moors—a chase in which he is both the pursuer and the pursued—as well as into an unexpected romance with the cool Pamela. Adapted from a novel by John Buchan, this classic wrong-man thriller from the Master of Suspense anticipates the director’s most famous works (especially North by Northwest), and remains one of his cleverest and most entertaining films. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense," he became as famous as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations.

Knowledge of Hokusai’s prints in the West was among the first to reach Europe in the mid 1800s.

Film | Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (1980): Psychological Horror Film with Jack Nicholson & Shelley Duvall


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).

Author Reading | Two Nonfiction Authors Discuss Identity, Freedom, & Belonging in Brooklyn


The authors of two recent books—The Cities We Need by Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani and Brooklynites by Prithi Kanakamedala—talk about what it means to build freedom and belonging in place. Exploring people's stories in Brooklyn during two very different time periods—at the birth of the city in the 19th century and at the turn of the 21st century—these two books lay out the shaping of a city through a search for social justice and belonging, and the spaces that people make for themselves. In comparison, and companionship, these two books illuminate a future way forward to build more just and free communities. Brooklynites: The Remarkable Story of the Free Black Communities that Shaped a Borough by Prithi Kanakamedala uncovers the silences in the archive to bring to life the free Black community of the nineteenth century, which attracted people from all walks of life—businesswomen, church leaders, laborers, and writers—who sought to grow their city in a radical anti-slavery vision despite their freedom being threatened by racism. The Cities We Need: Essential Stories of Everyday Places by Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani builds on twenty years of residents’ oral history, and the author’s expressive photography, illuminating what's at stake through the lens of the everyday places they visit—from diners to churches to donut shops—which are threatened by the gentrification and large-scale development that are silently displacing these citizens.

Author Reading | Nonfiction Author Discusses His Book Explioring English Linguistics and Spelling, Enough Is Enuf


Author Gabe Henry as discusses his new book, Enough Is Enuf: Our Failed Attempts to Make English Easier to Spell. Synopsis: A brief and humorous 500-year history of the Simplified Spelling Movement from advocates like Ben Franklin, C. S. Lewis, and Mark Twain to texts and Twitter. If our system of writing words is so tragically inconsistent, why haven't we standardized it, phoneticized it, brought it into line? How many brave linguists have ever had the courage to state, in a declaration of phonetic revolt: "Enough is enuf"? The answer: many. In the comic annals of linguistic history, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to bring English into the realm of the rational. This book is about them. Henry takes his humorous and informative chronicle right up to today as the language seems to naturally be simplifying to fit the needs of our changing world thanks to technology--from texting to Twitter and emojis, the Simplified Spelling Movement may finally be having its day. Gabe's work has appeared in TIME, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, US News & World Report, and more. i

Concert | Multi-Genre Music from Unconventional Singer


Multidisciplinary artist Sparklmami transcends mediums to build a world untethered to conventional structures in this presentation. Texas-raised, Chicago-based, of Mexican and Indian heritage, and nurtured singing in church, Sparklmami uses instinctual improvisation reminiscent of Brazilian jazz, experimental soul, Mexican bolero, and funk to express the sentient nature of being. Her debut album In This Body is composed of kaleidoscopic vignettes that tap into her confessional subconscious as Sparklmami explores how our perception of the past shapes our present identity. For ages 12+. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Tuesday before the event at noon.

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).

Book Club | Nobel Prize-Winning Author Han Kang's The Vegetarian Conversation


Discuss Han Kang's bestselling novel, The Vegetarian, with other readers! Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams--invasive images of blood and brutality--torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It's a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that's become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman's struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

Author Reading | Jonathan Liebson Discusses His New Memoir, Hello (and Goodbye) to All That


Hello (And Goodbye) To All That  is explores the evolution of New York City from the days of Tower Records and The Village Voice through the era of cell phones and bike lanes, while also providing an up-close view of larger transformational events. The book combines funny and moving stories from daily life (the struggles of apartment living, the quirky routines of café-goers, the moral dilemmas of being a cyclist) with important historical moments: witnessing 9/11 from his roof deck and living through the city’s troubled aftermath; hearing Barack Obama in Washington Square Park with 20,000 people; and having an embarrassing encounter with Rudy Giuliani a few weeks before the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Home to some of the country’s worst tragedies and upheavals, New York has also been a place of national recovery and inspiration. The book presents intriguing encounters with everyday characters, celebrities, and writers; ironic intersections between the past and present; and a touching intergenerational story of father and son. Jonathan Liebson is an essayist and reviewer whose writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Review of Books, Time Out New York, The Georgia Review, and many other journals, and in the anthology Naming the World: And Other Exercises for the Creative Writer.   “A unique, funny, and brutally honest perspective on living in New York City.”–Jonah Hill

Talk | Hear from a Legendary Chroreographer about Her Work


Dancer, writer, performance-maker, and Yale professor Emily Coates spent two years mapping far-flung artifacts related to George Balanchine found in archives. This research became part of her Works & Process commission, Tell Me Where It Comes From, scheduled to premiere in New York this November. A former dancer with New York City Ballet, Coates searched in holdings at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Harvard's Houghton Library, Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Archives at Jacob's Pillow, among others. In this artist talk, Coates shares the idiosyncratic trail of ephemera and people she encountered along her journey to move closer to the source of his work, from a great remove, through archival shards. Special guests joining her include Adam Lenz, Public Engagement and Programs Manager at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. Enjoy this unique opportunity to see what goes into creating a new work about the afterlife of a legendary choreographer.

Author Reading | NYT Writer Talks about Her new Nonfiction Book, The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum


Award-winning journalist Margalit Fox discuss her latest book, The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum: The Rise and Fall of an American Organized-Crime Boss, the true story of a once-infamous criminal mastermind and visionary businesswoman in Gilded Age New York. Synopsis: In 1850, an impoverished twenty-five-year-old named Fredericka Mandelbaum came to New York in steerage and worked as a peddler on the streets of Lower Manhattan. By the 1870s she was a fixture of high society and an admired philanthropist. How was she able to ascend from tenement poverty to vast wealth? The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum paints a vivid portrait of Gilded Age New York—a city teeming with nefarious rogues, capitalist power brokers and Tammany Hall bigwigs, all straddling the line between underworld enterprise and “legitimate” commerce. Combining deep historical research with the narrative flair for which she is celebrated, Margalit Fox tells the unforgettable true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely. Considered one of the foremost explanatory writers and literary stylists in American journalism, Margalit Fox retired in 2018 from a 24-year-career at the New York Times, where she was most recently a senior writer.

Talk | Ukrainian Writers Discuss Occupation & Cultural Survival


Since 2014, parts of Ukraine--including Crimea and Donetsk--have lived under Russian occupation, with the 2022 full-scale invasion expanding that violence to cities like Nova Kakhovka. In this urgent and deeply personal conversation, three Ukrainian voices explore what it means to live with, remember, and resist occupation. Chef and author Olia Hercules, born in now-occupied Nova Kakhovka, shares how food becomes a language of memory and identity in Strong Roots, her first memoir. Novelist Volodymyr Rafeyenko, originally from Donetsk, reflects on exile, absurdity, and survival in Length of Days and Signals of Being. Scholar and translator Natalia Shpylova-Saeed introduces a powerful new anthology of Crimean poetry and prose, preserving voices from a region silenced since 2014. Together, they trace how storytelling--across genres--becomes an act of cultural defiance. The conversation will be moderated by professor and writer Sophie Pinkham.
