Talk | Fine Art Portrait Photographer (Worked with UK Prime Ministers & Royalty) Discusses His Craft & Career


A lecture and open Q&A with British portrait photographer Rory Lewis. His sitters have ranged from Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, David Warner and Rufus Sewell to former Prime Ministers Tony Blair and Theresa May, HRH The Duke of Kent, and successive Chiefs of the General Staff of the British Army. Portraits by Lewis are held in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London and in the Royal Collection, and through his Heroes in Focus non-profit he has photographed the living Field Marshals, VC & GC recipients, and hundreds of British soldiers for the Soldiery archive. In this session he opens two decades of work: the sittings that shaped his career, the frames he'd defend and the ones he learned from, and the painters - Holbein, Caravaggio, Titian, Rembrandt, Lawrence - whose light still runs beneath every portrait he makes. Expect stories from rooms with five-minute clocks, honest breakdowns of how the most-recognised images were built, and the working philosophy of a photographer who treats the studio as a direct descendant of the easel. The final portion of the afternoon is given over entirely to your questions. Bring a notebook.

Opera | Opera On-Screen Outdoors: Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci with Jonas Kaufmann!


Opera's ultimate double feature: Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci. The event begins with a live musical introduction and synopsis by world-renowned opera singer Anthony Roth Costanzo, who will demonstrate how opera singers develop their incredible voices, accompanied by pianist Myra Huang. Staged in cinematic black and white, Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana reveals a tight-knit Sicilian village bound by ritual, honor, and simmering resentment--and in which private emotions erupt into public consequence. Then, Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci explores a true story of love and murder through the colorful, improvisatory lens of a commedia dell'arte troupe. It features the unforgettable aria "Vesti la giubba." Jonas Kaufmann performs in both operas. Critics and fans have hailed him as one of the most important and versatile tenors of our time.

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 work-in-progress presentation will feature live original cello music by Drama Desk-nominated composer Johnathan Moore.

Instinct & Extinct also touches on the still-present beauty of creatures and their habits: their musical hums, flutters, coos, and calls. You will be reminded of the stunning rhythm and rhyme of Mother Nature. This is a premiere of a solo opera from award-winning experimental electronic musician Dominique Francis (aka e-voque).

Musical | The Root of It All: A Dentist’s Tale -- Surreal, Satirical Comedy Musical


In a fantastical dream, the dentist enters a surreal world where dancing teeth, an activist Tooth Fairy, and a chorus of very “patient” patients battle the moral decay threatening America’s ideals. With ICE agents emerging from giant cavities as symbols of fear and division, the dentist envisions a quest to “root out” hatred instead of people. A brigade of unlikely heroes invokes the nation’s immigrant heritage–from its earliest settlers to generations of newcomers–celebrating America’s diversity, compassion, and shared humanity. The historic wisdom of the United States promises a future in which the cavities of war are filled with hope and the promise of cooperation and peace.

Film | Frank Capra's It Happened One Night (1934): Screwball Comedy Starring Clark Gable


A classic about a spoiled heiress on the lam and a gruff reporter who hooks up with her as they travel northward, engage in a series of misadventures, and begin to fall for each other. Director: Frank Capra Cast: Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert Frank Capra was an Italian-American film director, producer, and screenwriter who was the creative force behind several major award-winning films of the 1930s and 1940s. Born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles from the age of five, his rags-to-riches story has led film historians such as Ian Freer to consider him the "American Dream personified". Capra became one of America's most influential directors during the 1930s, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director from six nominations. Clark Gable was an American film actor. Often referred to as "The King of Hollywood," he had roles in over 60 films in a variety of genres during a career that lasted 37 years. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Gable as the seventh greatest male screen legend of classical Hollywood cinema.

In a fantastical dream, the dentist enters a surreal world where dancing teeth, an activist Tooth Fairy, and a chorus of very "patient" patients battle the moral decay threatening America's ideals. With ICE agents emerging from giant cavities as symbols of fear and division, the dentist envisions a quest to "root out" hatred instead of people. A brigade of unlikely heroes invokes the nation's immigrant heritage-from its earliest settlers to generations of newcomers-celebrating America's diversity, compassion, and shared humanity. The historic wisdom of the United States promises a future in which the cavities of war are filled with hope and the promise of cooperation and peace. The community awakens from its nightmare inspired and unites to protect its neighbors and secure the child's release. The music will vary in style from Bossa Nova to Hip Hop to Musical Comedy to classical Cantata. The play is a bouncy joyride through the undulations of the body politic, with astute commentary couched in satire, song, and slapstick. Book, lyrics, and direction by Crystal Field. Music composed and arranged by Peter Dizozza.

Workshop | Tai Chi for Exercise & Meditative Practice


A trained facilitator from Bodhisattva Nature will guide participants in Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines physical exercise with meditation. No physical agility or prior experience is needed. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, Tai Chi–also known as Tai Chi Chuan–emphasizes the balance between yin and yang, the opposing forces of nature. Tai Chi is characterized by slow, deliberate movements, deep breathing, and a focused mind, making it both a form of exercise and a meditative practice. Practitioners often perform a series of flowing, graceful postures that promote relaxation, flexibility, and inner calm. Tai Chi is not only valued for its health benefits, such as improving balance and reducing stress, but also for its spiritual aspects, helping individuals achieve harmony between body and mind.

Book Club | Discuss No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson with Fellow Readers


Read and analyze this award-winning nonfiction book by Gardiner Harris. About the Book: One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her horrific story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they’d had on her family fundamentally changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company—and the entire pharmaceutical industry—for the Times. His subsequent investigations and ongoing research since that very first conversation led to this book—a blistering exposé of a trusted American institution and the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world. Harris takes readers light-years away from the company’s image as the child-friendly “baby company” as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple disasters: lies and cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson’s Baby Powder to cancer, the surprising dangers of Tylenol, a criminal campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer tumors will grow, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma. Filled with shocking and infuriating but utterly necessary revelations, No More Tears is a landmark work of investigative journalism that lays bare the deeply rooted corruption behind the image of babies bathing with a smile.

The group is reading Jean Giono's 1941 work, Melville: A Novel, translated from the French by Paul Eprile in 2017. About the book: In the fall of 1849, Herman Melville traveled to London to deliver his novel White-Jacket to his publisher. On his return to America, Melville would write Moby-Dick. Melville: A Novel imagines what happened in between: the adventurous writer fleeing London for the country, wrestling with an angel, falling in love with an Irish nationalist, and, finally, meeting the angel’s challenge—to express man’s fate by writing the novel that would become his masterpiece.

Book Discussion | Award-Winning Filmmaker & Public Speaker Shares Her New Nonfiction Book, What Will They Say?


Denise Soler Cox discusses her new book, What Will They Say?: Confront Cultural Taboos and Discover Your Inner Power, which exposes nine common Latin cultural taboos no one dares discuss and shares her road-tested advice to blast through them and reclaim your power. Through raw personal stories and unflinching honesty, Cox reveals the cultural taboos that have been quietly sabotaging Latina success, drawing from thousands of one-on-one conversations with Latinas after her keynotes who recognize these unspoken patterns but never had language for what was holding them back. Each chapter exposes a taboo through Cox's own vulnerability, creating space for readers to break through their own.

Opera | Outdoor Screening: Verdi's Rigoletto (+ Live Music Introduction)


A filmed version of Verdi's Rigoletto, filmed during a spectacular staging at Austria's Bregenz Festival, home of the world's largest floating stage. The event begins with a live musical introduction and synopsis by world-renowned opera singer Anthony Roth Costanzo, who will demonstrate how opera singers develop their incredible voices, accompanied by pianist Myra Huang. Verdi's enduring classic pairs some of opera's most recognizable music with a story of passion and consequence. This rare feat of imaginative stagecraft, directed by Philipp Stolzl, transforms the entire Court of Mantua into a circus troupe, with the duke himself as the ringmaster. An exceptional cast performs alongside the Vienna Symphony and Prague Philharmonic Choir conducted by Enrique Mazzola.

Jung-hwan is a gruff but loving zookeeper who specializes in training wild beasts. His teenage daughter, Soo-ah, is going through puberty and a full-blown dance obsession. Their days are full of bickering and bonding… until one day, Soo-ah becomes infected by a zombie virus that has swept across the globe. Refusing to give up on his daughter, Jung-hwan takes her to a quiet seaside village called Eunbong-ri, where his mother Bam-soon lives. In a world obsessed with rooting out the infected, Soo-ah shows strange signs of awareness - responding to music, her grandmother’s sharp taps with a back scratcher, and even faint traces of human language. Determined to protect her at all costs, Jung-hwan draws on his years of experience training tigers and begins a secret mission to tame and retrain… his zombie daughter. Director: Pil Gam-sung Cast: Jo Jung-suk, Lee Jung-eun, Cho Yeo-jeong, Yoon Kyung-ho, Choi Yu-ri All contents featuring Korean dialogue will have English subtitles available.

Musical | Oh, Kentucky!: Period Musical Drama


Porter Hobbs is a confident, polished Chicago banker — the kind of man who left his Kentucky roots behind and built himself into someone new. When his bank sends him south to foreclose on struggling farmers, he tells himself it's just business. Emma Jane Anderson is a fiery, freckled schoolteacher — practical, tough, and naturally beautiful. She's fighting to keep her family's hollar out of the bank's hands, and she isn't about to let some city man in a pressed suit tell her what her home is worth. As Porter enforces the bank's ruthless demands, he's forced to confront the roots he tried to bury. Drawn together by clashing convictions and undeniable attraction, Porter and Emma Jane wrestle with duty, survival, and the pull of home. The Anderson family — sharp-tongued matriarch Irene, steady and silent patriarch Arthur — welcome Porter in. A colorful cast of community characters, including nine-year-old Ree and her beloved stuffed pig Napoleon, surround them with the full weight and warmth of small-town Kentucky. Through heartfelt ballads and rousing ensemble numbers, Oh, Kentucky! celebrates resilience, community, and the enduring power of love and belonging when the world feels broken.

Musical | The Root of It All: A Dentist's Tale -- Surreal, Satirical Comedy Musical (Outdoors)


In a fantastical dream, the dentist enters a surreal world where dancing teeth, an activist Tooth Fairy, and a chorus of very "patient" patients battle the moral decay threatening America's ideals. With ICE agents emerging from giant cavities as symbols of fear and division, the dentist envisions a quest to "root out" hatred instead of people. A brigade of unlikely heroes invokes the nation's immigrant heritage-from its earliest settlers to generations of newcomers-celebrating America's diversity, compassion, and shared humanity. The historic wisdom of the United States promises a future in which the cavities of war are filled with hope and the promise of cooperation and peace. The community awakens from its nightmare inspired and unites to protect its neighbors and secure the child's release. The music will vary in style from Bossa Nova to Hip Hop to Musical Comedy to classical Cantata. The play is a bouncy joyride through the undulations of the body politic, with astute commentary couched in satire, song, and slapstick. Book, lyrics, and direction by Crystal Field. Music composed and arranged by Peter Dizozza.

Talk | Vice-Contributor Discusses Her NYT-Bestselling Book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country


A sprawling account of the world of the General Jewish Labor Bund, Molly Crabapple’s recent book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund, has captured the attention of readers at a fraught moment when Jewish communities are looking to the past to reimagine new political futures. This conversation, featuring artist Zoe Beloff; art historians Chelsea Haines and Gabriel Chazan; writer, editor, and Yiddish translator Jacqueline Nekhe Krass; and researcher and translator of mid-20th century Holocaust literature Ayelet Kaminer, will situate the book in relation to new and shifting approaches to narrating Jewish political memory and radicalism in popular culture and mass media. As the group explores the book, they are also interested in thinking about the role art plays in forging new political imaginaries.

Musical | Oh, Kentucky!: Period Musical Drama


Porter Hobbs is a confident, polished Chicago banker — the kind of man who left his Kentucky roots behind and built himself into someone new. When his bank sends him south to foreclose on struggling farmers, he tells himself it's just business. Emma Jane Anderson is a fiery, freckled schoolteacher — practical, tough, and naturally beautiful. She's fighting to keep her family's hollar out of the bank's hands, and she isn't about to let some city man in a pressed suit tell her what her home is worth. As Porter enforces the bank's ruthless demands, he's forced to confront the roots he tried to bury. Drawn together by clashing convictions and undeniable attraction, Porter and Emma Jane wrestle with duty, survival, and the pull of home. The Anderson family — sharp-tongued matriarch Irene, steady and silent patriarch Arthur — welcome Porter in. A colorful cast of community characters, including nine-year-old Ree and her beloved stuffed pig Napoleon, surround them with the full weight and warmth of small-town Kentucky. Through heartfelt ballads and rousing ensemble numbers, Oh, Kentucky! celebrates resilience, community, and the enduring power of love and belonging when the world feels broken. Book by Suzanne Hayes. Composed by Ellie Sorota. Workshop performance.

Staged Reading | Sour Grapes: Original Religious Drama


When two Catholic school girls claim that water in a consecrated chalice turned into wine, what begins as a panicked lie snowballs into a full-blown miracle. Suddenly dubbed “the miracle girls,” Lucy and Gemma find themselves at the center of a growing wave of religious fervor as classmates, clergy, and local Catholic media project sainthood onto two deeply unqualified teenagers. Darkly funny, theatrical, and emotionally sharp, Sour Grapes explores belief as performance, the seduction of attention, and what happens when a story becomes more important than the truth. While deeply rooted in the Black male experience, the stories speak to universal themes of humanity, belonging, fear, hope, and healing. Written by: Annabel McConnachie

Workshop | Tai Chi for Exercise & Meditative Practice


A trained facilitator from Bodhisattva Nature will guide participants in Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese martial art that combines physical exercise with meditation. No physical agility or prior experience is needed. Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, Tai Chi–also known as Tai Chi Chuan–emphasizes the balance between yin and yang, the opposing forces of nature. Tai Chi is characterized by slow, deliberate movements, deep breathing, and a focused mind, making it both a form of exercise and a meditative practice. Practitioners often perform a series of flowing, graceful postures that promote relaxation, flexibility, and inner calm. Tai Chi is not only valued for its health benefits, such as improving balance and reducing stress, but also for its spiritual aspects, helping individuals achieve harmony between body and mind.

Book Club | Mystery Novel Discussion in a Fifth Ave Mansion: The Queens of Crime


You are invited to discuss The Queens of Crime by Marie Benedict. To miss this would be a crime. About the book: London, 1930. The five greatest women crime writers have banded together to form a secret society with a single goal: to show they are no longer willing to be treated as second-class citizens by their male counterparts in the legendary Detection Club. Led by the formidable Dorothy L. Sayers, the group includes Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy. They call themselves the Queens of Crime. Their plan? Solve an actual murder, that of a young woman found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment.

Film | The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945): Supernatural Horror-Drama with George Sanders & Angela Lansbury


A vain Victorian man fantastically transfers his mortality onto a painting of himself, which proceeds to age for him, while he remains young and handsome. But as his visage remains beautifully preserved, his heart and soul decay. An adaptation of the Oscar Wilde novel. Director: Albert Lewin Cast: George Sanders, Hurd Hatfield, Donna Reed, Angela Lansbury, Peter Lawford, Lowell Gilmore George Sanders was a British actor and singer whose career spanned over 40 years. His heavy, upper-class English accent and smooth bass voice often led him to be cast as sophisticated but villainous characters. Dame Angela Lansbury was a British-American-Irish actress and singer. In a career spanning 80 years, she played various roles across film, stage, and television. She was best known for her roles as Jessica Fletcher in the long-running whodunit television series Murder, She Wrote, and as the voice of Mrs. Potts in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Among Lansbury's accolades are six Tony Awards (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), six Golden Globe Awards, two honorary BAFTA Awards, a Laurence Olivier Award, an honorary SAG Award, and the Academy Honorary Award; in addition to nominations for three Academy Awards, eighteen Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Grammy Award. In 2014, she was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II.

Staged Reading | It Gets Better (Monologues for Melanated Men): Original Stories on Relationships, Social Expectatiosn, Grief, & More


A collection of solo stories exploring identity, vulnerability, race, masculinity, sexuality, family, and survival. It Gets Better (Monologues for Melanated Men) is a collection of six original monologues that explore the complexities of identity, race, masculinity, sexuality, love, family, and resilience through the voices of richly drawn characters. By turns humorous, heartbreaking, provocative, and uplifting, each piece offers an intimate glimpse into moments that shape how these men see themselves and the world around them. From childhood vulnerability and personal awakening to complicated relationships, social expectations, grief, ambition, and survival, the play examines what it means to seek dignity, connection, and authenticity in a world that often demands silence or performance. While deeply rooted in the Black male experience, the stories speak to universal themes of humanity, belonging, fear, hope, and healing. Written by Charles Day.

Staged Reading | John & Salome: A Biblical Story Revisited


Built around the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, this story portrays the spiritual and cultural power struggles culminating in the demand for the head of John the Baptist. From the biblical account of John the Baptist's imprisonment, this play explores a unique and compelling dynamic between the desert prophet, John, and the dancing princess of the Herod clan, Salome. What if Salome was not a mindless teenager eager to approve of her mother and step-father's illicit marriage? What if John found his interactions with Salome to be both a challenge and a comfort? Written by Gil Elvgren. Directed by Joe Frost. A talkback with the playwright, director, producer, cast, and audience is scheduled to follow after the performance!

A book talk on The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum with author Margalit Fox. About the book: 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 true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely.

Opening Reception | Troubled Body: Group Exhibition Explring the Effects of Time at Renowned Art School


Troubled Body explores how selfhood is constructed through repetition, ritual, and physical labor. Through photography, drawing, tattoo imagery, and performance, the exhibition examines the body as a site where time, memory, and transformation become visible. Exhibiting artists include Elsa Chen, Steph Fethes, Rue Kim, and Petra Kruty. The artists in this exhibition address the continuous relation between the effects of time, and their own personal and bodily relationships to time through moments of introspection. In an era characterized by acceleration, digital mediation, and fragmented attention, these artists return to repetitive and time-intensive processes as a way of reclaiming bodily presence. Repetition is not merely a visual strategy but a bodily condition, a measure of time, and a ritualized form of labor.

Film | The Single Standard (1929): Classic Romantic Drama Starring Greta Garbo


Arden Stuart is a feminist ahead of her time, believing that a "single standard" should be applied to both sexes. Instead of marrying and settling down, she juggles numerous suitors. She moves from the lovelorn Tommy to a playboy prizefighter with artistic intentions, Packy. Arden and Packy sail the South Seas together, but after a falling-out she returns home, marries Tommy and has a child. But are Arden's old ways really behind her? Director: John S. Robertson Cast: Greta Garbo, Nils Asther, Johnny Mack Brown Greta Garbo was a Swedish-American actress. Regarded as one of the greatest screen actresses of all time, she was known for her melancholic, somber persona, her film portrayals of tragic characters, and her subtle, understated performances. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Garbo fifth on its list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema

Opening Reception | Weaving a Day, Mourning a Life -- Multi-Artist Multimedia Exhibition


This exhibition takes the quiet practice of weaving in Ph'c Sen, a village in Northern Vietnam, as its point of departure. It follows two generations of Nùng An women whose relationship to weaving reflects broader changes in contemporary rural life. As younger generations leave the village and daily rhythms shift, the future of this intimate tradition becomes increasingly uncertain. This exhibition translates this tradition into a contemporary art context. It presents how ritual, time, and memory can be physically woven into the fabric of existence, offering a poignant meditation on cycles of life and death that resonates universally. The exhibition will feature three independent bodies of work, each engaging with the core theme from a unique disciplinary perspective: photographic installation, sound installation, and text-based sculpture.

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.

Book Discussion | "Erudite, Elegant & Stubbornly Experimental" (New York Times) Writer Shares Her New Short Story Collection


Diane Williams has been called one of the great masters of the American short story: her tiny, coruscating tales are among the most tender, funny, peculiar, and searching works in all of contemporary literature. I Liked Rex is Williams’s newest collection, which explores sex, love, marriage, and all that comes after; it is a book about living, but more importantly, about how to be alive. In these stories, a woman sees her soon-to-be ex-husband on the street, walking patiently at the end of a line of geese; a mother implores a total stranger to watch over her small child at the beach; a guest arrives at an orgy uninvited, and takes a nap beneath a dusty carpet; a woman reflects on her life with a man who used to belong to another, but is hers now—though can anyone really possess anyone else, truly?

Book Discussion | National Book Award- & Pushcart Prize-Winning Author Shares Her Latest Work, Dèy (In Person AND Online!)


The author Edwidge Danticat introduces her new novel of family, grief, and the meaning of home. Edwidge Danticat discusses with author Nicole Dennis-Benn Dèy and the questions that drive its narrative: Can love or family protect us from harm? Do you choose home, or does home choose you? What will conquer your heart—optimism or fear? Dèy explores what happens in the aftermath of random violence to a person’s understanding of their place in this world. Moving from Haiti to Brooklyn to Miami, it follows Magnolia, who was caught seeking shelter inside a shopping mall restaurant during an outbreak of gunfire. Given a second chance at life, she begins to see with fresh eyes the labyrinth of her past and the complex joys and traumas within her own family, from the extraordinary bond with her daughter to the nearly broken relationship with her father.

Book Discussion | The New Yorker-Contributing Journalist Shares Her New Book, Seasons of Fury (In Person AND Online!)


An award-winning journalist examines the U.S. government’s broken compact with its Muslim citizens. In this sweeping narrative history, Rozina Ali demonstrates how the War on Terror, conceived in the wake of the September 11 attacks, only accelerated long-standing conflicts between American law enforcement and Muslim communities around the country. Ali follows four Muslim families across eight decades to narrate a range of experiences shaped by relentless suspicion and prejudice. From the surveillance of Arab activists that began in the 1960s and laws in the 1990s that broadened the definition of terrorism, to mass detention in the 2000s and the rise of think tanks and nonprofits that sowed panic about the threat of Islam itself, Seasons of Fury reveals the history of policies that have warped the American perception of Muslim communities—and disillusioned generations of Muslims who sought the promise of the American dream.

Opening Reception | Feather, Fin, and Fur: 400 Years of Japanese Animal Prints


This exhibition traces the animal kingdom through more than four centuries of Japanese woodblock printmaking. It moves from intimate ukiyo-e studies of birds, flowers, and fish to the expressive animals of Shin Hanga, Sosaku Hanga, and contemporary woodblock printmaking. Works by Koryusai, Utamaro, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Koson (Shoson), Goyo Hashiguchi, Koshiro Onchi, Kiyoshi Saito, Tomoo Inagaki, and Daniel Kelly reveal the range of natural subjects within the Japanese print tradition. The exhibition begins with kacho-e, literally "pictures of flowers and birds," a subject with deep roots in East Asian art and a particularly rich history within Japanese painting, poetry, and printmaking. In the hands of ukiyo-e artists, closely observed plants and birds became vehicles for seasonal association, poetic exchange, and technical display. Feather, Fin and Fur takes this tradition as its point of departure while expanding beyond it to include fish, cats, rabbits, and other creatures represented with tenderness, wit, drama, and abstraction.

Opening Reception | Blue: Solo Exhibtion Focusing on the Mutable Form of the Cloud


This exhibition features Blue, which brings together a new body of work spanning three distinct series. The exhibition blurs the boundaries between traditional landscape and portraiture. Throughout the exhibition, painting emerges not simply as a mode of representation, but as an ongoing process of looking, discovering, and becoming. The act of observation—central to Kim's practice—first led her to capture the elusive, ever-changing nature of the human face. It is through this same perpetual attention, and through the lens of portraiture, that she also approaches landscape, focusing on the mutable form of the cloud.

Opening Reception | Hanging Out: Solo Exhibition Embracing the Key as a Motif


New work by Nate Lowman (b. 1979). The exhibition debuts a body of shaped canvases that take the form of keys–objects freighted with associations of access, security, and exclusion–a new motif for the artist. Lowman has frequently employed universally recognizable shaped canvases including hearts, tree-shaped air fresheners, poppies, and maps, among others, each produced in iterations with distinct painted surfaces. His key paintings extend this vocabulary, ranging from tightly rendered replicas to more schematic, nearly abstract forms. Some reproduce dissonant photographic imagery taken by the artist; others appropriate the bright, patterned novelty finishes available at hardware stores to distinguish one key from another; whereas another work, a silkscreen diptych, represents two keys yet to be cut into their final shape. The paintings recall distinct art-historical registers—from hard-edged geometric abstraction to loose, gestural markmaking, to the flattened logic of the readymade—each employing a different painterly language on the same recurring form.

Opening Reception | KNOTTING, TYING, FOLDING: SOlo Sculpture Exhibition Embracing Vivid Color & Sensuous, Organic Surfaces


An exhibition of sculptures by Lynda Benglis. Alongside glazed ceramic, bronze, pleated, and paper works created by Benglis between 1972 and 2024, the presentation will also spotlight rarely exhibited glass sculptures from 1985. Since the late 1960s, Benglis has developed her lively, flowing forms across a wide range of materials—from beeswax, latex, and polyurethane foam to later innovations with plaster, gold, vaporized metals, glass, ceramics, and paper. Emerging amid the rise of Postminimalism, she set herself apart from her contemporaries with an enthusiastic embrace of vivid color and sensuous, organic surfaces. She has continuously pushed the boundaries of painting and sculpture over the course of her career, engaging in a radical investigation of sensorial perception. KNOTTING, TYING, FOLDING will feature a robust range of sculptures created by Benglis over more than five decades, illuminating her use of diverse methods and materials.

Opening Reception | Lo grabado de lo vivido (What is etched from what has been lived): Solo Monorpint Exhibition Exploring Land, Labor, & Identity


An exhibition of new works by Gamaliel Rodríguez. Conjuring vibrant images of his native Puerto Rico and the wider Caribbean, Rodríguez's new monoprints revisit themes central to his practice while exploring the expansive possibilities of printmaking at a new scale. Rendered across sweeping surfaces exceeding four feet, the works transform landscapes of the artist's homeland into meditations on the contested relationship between nature and the built environment. Rodríguez’s new body of work confronts the enduring tension between nature and industry across the postcolonial Caribbean and American landscapes. Rodríguez's electric chroma palette recalls the idyllic imagery of vintage travel postcards and tourist advertisements while subtly unsettling those familiar scenes. While appearing to be tropical scenes, the works on view are actually rooted in specific sites that register the climate implications of commercialized industrialization, including the Milwaukee War Museum, the ethanol power plant in Medina, New York, and the Cataño distillery in Puerto Rico. By anchoring the works in real destinations of commerce, production, and power, the artist renders the traceable weight of colonial history embedded in the landscape. Power appears both literally, through electrical infrastructure and industrial sites, and metaphorically through the systems that continue to shape land, labor, and identity across the Caribbean.

Opening Reception | Pastels: Solo Exhibition of Scenes from an Allegorical Universe


A showing of new works on paper by London-based artist Sara Anstis. For Pastels, Anstis expands an allegorical universe informed by the visual languages of mythology, folklore, and art history. Realized at a small scale, the nearly thirty works on view encourage close looking while contrasting with the expanse of the gallery architecture. Anstis works in soft, delicate pastels, retaining an intimate sense of touch that charges her scenes with introspective intensity.   In Pastels, Anstis draws from a deepened engagement with art history. Architecture and interiors assume a more pronounced role, contrasting with Anstis' archetypal landscapes, and her compositional structures recall sources ranging from medieval traditions and the proto-Renaissance period to the Early Netherlandish masters.Themes of motherhood surface across the exhibition – treated with the same tenderness and strangeness that characterize Anstis' broader vision of daily life.

An exhibition by Scott Kahn focusing on the artist’s singular landscapes—a genre that is central to his practice. The exhibition will bring together a significant group of new and recent paintings alongside works spanning the previous twenty-five years that explore Kahn’s most enduring motifs. Over more than five decades, Kahn has maintained a commitment to a representational mode of expression, using a distinctive formal language to achieve a nuanced and poetic rendition of the simultaneous splendor and mundanity of the world around him. Rooted in his everyday life and experiences, Kahn’s enigmatic landscapes blend real and surreal elements. Many read as near facsimiles of lived experience shot through with electric color or ghostly shadows: billowing clouds that seem to come alive, ominous moonscapes, bare trees electrified by unexpected hues, and picture windows that open onto worlds both known and unknown. Seasons turn and day recedes into night, change often sweeping across a single canvas.

Opening Reception | Clocks: Solo Exhibition from Met-Featured Artist


New works on paper by London-based artist Pablo Bronstein. Clocks features a suite of imagined antique mantel clocks complete with allegorical elements, deepening Bronstein’s longstanding fascination with the history of aesthetics and bourgeois material culture.    Extending as far as 6 feet wide, each work on view comprises an imaginary model for a clock. Drawing from vintage pattern books from his personal collection, Bronstein combines design elements from various styles and movements, creating original compositions that resist historical categorization. He draws inspiration from the mantel clocks that filled family homes across 18th-century Europe, filled with allegorical motifs and today recognized as material projections of human imagination. Bronstein presents these at large scale, as if to magnify designs ready to be manufactured. The works are united by this fixed format, inviting the suggestion that the elements could be swapped in limitless variations.

The world premiere of a new work from National Medal of the Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, Bill T. Jones, a show that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001 on the plaza of the Twin Towers.  This new work, with original music from composer Samora Pinderhughes, commemorates the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment—and all that has unfolded since. Jones, in collaboration with Pinderhughes, forge an intergenerational bridge as both artists search within themselves and their respective creative interests to meditate on loss, and their distinct responses to the 25-year aftermath of 9/11 and other cataclysms spiralling into our era of loss of freedom, speech, movement, and justice. Featuring performances from Bill T.

Jazz | Cross-Cultural Trio Brings Transatlantic Narrative to the Stage


Canadian bandleader and instrumentalist George Crotty has carved out a unique niche in the contemporary music world by reimagining the role of the cello in modern music. Crotty's vibrant compositions expand the instrument's boundaries to encompass moody jazz, ecstatic Hindustani ragas, and emotionally charged Arabic maqam. Crotty's Trio (GC3), featuring John Murchison on bass and Jeremy Smith on percussion, recently released their fourth album, 2025's Heart Music. The new LP is an accessible, cinematic, and daringly transatlantic narrative that foregrounds the combo's clever cross-cultural interplay while emphasizing groove, melody, and texture over bombast. For this set, the GC3 will introduce New York audiences to the innovative sound that All About Jazz calls "a stream of genre-blurring invention." 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.

Classical Music | American Symphony Orchestra Performs Works by Copland, Mahler, & More Honoring 9/11


The ASO presents a memorial concert on the 25th anniversary of September 11th. While serving as an occasion for remembrance and reflection, the evening’s musical program also celebrates the enduring strength of the human spirit. The majesty of Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, the anguished beauty of Gustav Mahler’s Adagio from the composer’s tenth symphony, the poignancy of George Walker’s Lyric for Strings, and additional scores, together pay tribute to the resilience, dignity, and contributions of ordinary Americans, as well as the courage and sacrifice of the heroes of 9/11. Organizers lend out hundreds of free picnic blankets, provide ample bistro chairs, and offer a curated selection of food and drink to purchase from local vendors. No tickets are required, and there are no lines to enter: it’s as easy as a walk in the park.

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.

Musical | The Root of It All: A Dentist’s Tale -- Surreal, Satirical Comedy Musical (Outdoors)


In a fantastical dream, the dentist enters a surreal world where dancing teeth, an activist Tooth Fairy, and a chorus of very “patient” patients battle the moral decay threatening America’s ideals. With ICE agents emerging from giant cavities as symbols of fear and division, the dentist envisions a quest to “root out” hatred instead of people. A brigade of unlikely heroes invokes the nation’s immigrant heritage–from its earliest settlers to generations of newcomers–celebrating America’s diversity, compassion, and shared humanity. The historic wisdom of the United States promises a future in which the cavities of war are filled with hope and the promise of cooperation and peace. The community awakens from its nightmare inspired and unites to protect its neighbors and secure the child’s release. The music will vary in style from Bossa Nova to Hip Hop to Musical Comedy to classical Cantata. The play is a bouncy joyride through the undulations of the body politic, with astute commentary couched in satire, song, and slapstick. Book, lyrics, and direction by Crystal Field. Music composed and arranged by Peter Dizozza.

Dance Performance | Curriculum IV: Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! -- Dance Meditation on Loss from 2X Tony Winning Choreographer


The world premiere of a new work from National Medal of the Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, Bill T. Jones, a show that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001 on the plaza of the Twin Towers.  This new work, with original music from composer Samora Pinderhughes, commemorates the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment—and all that has unfolded since. Jones, in collaboration with Pinderhughes, forge an intergenerational bridge as both artists search within themselves and their respective creative interests to meditate on loss, and their distinct responses to the 25-year aftermath of 9/11 and other cataclysms spiralling into our era of loss of freedom, speech, movement, and justice. Featuring performances from Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company and live musicians, Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! brings dance back to Lower Manhattan, shaped by resilience and the passage of time.

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 | Curriculum IV: Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! -- Dance Meditation on Loss from 2X Tony Winning Choreographer


The world premiere of a new work from National Medal of the Arts and Kennedy Center Honoree, Bill T. Jones, a show that was originally scheduled to premiere on September 12, 2001 on the plaza of the Twin Towers.  This new work, with original music from composer Samora Pinderhughes, commemorates the 25th anniversary of that suspended moment—and all that has unfolded since. Jones, in collaboration with Pinderhughes, forge an intergenerational bridge as both artists search within themselves and their respective creative interests to meditate on loss, and their distinct responses to the 25-year aftermath of 9/11 and other cataclysms spiralling into our era of loss of freedom, speech, movement, and justice. Featuring performances from Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company and live musicians, Spin and Spin! Turn! Turn! Turn! brings dance back to Lower Manhattan, shaped by resilience and the passage of time.

Lecture | Award-Winning Art Photographer Reframes the Evolution of Black Photographic Practice


Dr. Willis explores the history and legacy of Black photography through images that reveal how Black photographers have shaped self-representation and cultural memory from the nineteenth century to today. Drawing on her landmark publication, Reflections in Black, she shows how photographers transformed the camera from a tool linked to distortion and exclusion into an instrument of self-definition, resistance, and creative expression. Featuring artists such as J.P. Ball, James VanDerZee, Gordon Parks, Roy DeCarava, Carrie Mae Weems, and Ming Smith, the talk traces the evolution of Black photographic practice across portraiture, documentary, photojournalism, and contemporary art. Dr. Willis is a photographer, curator, NYU professor, and director of the Center for Black Visual Culture.

Concert | Original Argentinian Tangos for Guitar Quartet


The guitarist and composer brings his new music to this stage from Buenos Aires. Adam Tully has been living in Argentina for over a decade, and has created a body of original tangos. His latest project is Cuartetos guitarreros, released in 2024, with an upcoming second volume. This is a personal album in which Tully questions essential aspects of life such as: “How do I want to live?,” “What’s left after everything is gone?,” and “Do I find my place in the city or do I sometimes need the peace of mind only the country can offer?” Tully takes listeners on a journey through the folkloric roots of tango, with song forms like vidalita, estilo, vals, and milonga, until arriving in an almost untimely way at the irreverent “trilonga” which in a way represents his voice: it’s a new song form created by the composer, a “lopsided milonga” with an extra beat.

Opening Reception | The Tesseract: Solo Exhibition of Maximalist Pictures from United Nations-Featured Artist


This exhibition from Zio Ziegler swings the viewer in whirling, elliptical fashion from one aesthetic mode to another. From the thickly patterned world of his monumental and maximalist pictures, to the exploratory mark-making of his skeletal monochrome canvases. And from the visceral and layered forms of his so-called “Essential Figures,” to his similarly totemic three-dimensional figures whose dynamism he has stilled in bronze. Four modes, four artistic voices, four variations on a theme, each one giving rise to—yet also putting a kind of gravitational pressure on—the next.

Opening Reception | Best by 07/21/2026: Multi-Artist, Multimedia Exhibition Exploring "Ectogenesis" in the Art World


An exhibition featuring artists Clare Hu, Tianyi Sun, and Shaan Ken Rao. The three artists, working in various mediums such as sculpture, weaving, painting, and photography, will create entirely new bodies of work using the gallery as their studio.  If artistic production generates its own forms of excretion, Best by borrows from the language of a system that organizes such distinctions: product packaging, where expiry dates sort the viable from the expired. These dates make disposal feel inevitable and predetermined, as though an object’s ending was written the moment of its making. The art world is no exception to expiry logic. In a climate of rising costs, contracting budgets, and institutional retrenchment, galleries are shedding artists and staff, recalibrating toward the marketable—what some might call a search for the institution's "soul.” Yet it is rarely the boldfaced names that go. Biennials and art fair cycles operate on the same logic, determining who and what is current, emerging, and relevant—and by extension, what has been spent.

A playgirl marries a mysterious stranger with a disturbing obsession with murder in this expressionistic, psychological thriller. Director: Fritz Lang Cast: Joan Bennett, Michael Redgrave Joan Bennett was a stage, film, and television actress. Beginning her career on the stage, Bennett appeared in more than 70 films from the era of silent films, well into the sound era. She is best remembered for her film noir femme fatale roles in director Fritz Lang's films and for her television role as matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard in the gothic 1960s soap opera Dark Shadows, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Daytime Programming at the 20th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1968.  Fritz Lang was an Austrian film director, screenwriter, and producer who worked in Germany and later the United States. One of the best-known émigrés from Germany's school of Expressionism, he was dubbed the "Master of Darkness" by the British Film Institute.

Galleries | Emma McIntyre: Solo Exhibition Embracing Unconventional Substances for Creating Art


An exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by New Zealand–born and Los Angeles–based artist Emma McIntyre. Thrumming with color and gestural energy, McIntyre’s abstractions explore the alchemical possibilities of the painted medium. The artist initiates a call and response between her hand and her materials, which include oils as well as unconventional substances such as oxidized iron. She pours and combines these pigments across the canvas, creating atmospheric and multilayered works that revel in a state of flux; slipping between order and chaos, spontaneity and deliberation, their surfaces constantly shift as the artist works, and as the viewer beholds them. Further broadening her experimentations with medium, scale, and hue, this will be McIntyre’s third solo show with the gallery, following An echo, a stain in New York in 2023 and Among my swan in Hong Kong in 2025.

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.

Dancing | Step Back in Time with Grammy-Nominated Swing Band


New Swing Sextet first graced a New York stage at the 1965 World's Fair; 60 years later they are still swinging throughout the city. Known for their blend of Latin jazz, pop, and salsa – as well as contributions to the NYC-born genre of boogaloo — New Swing Sextet recorded four albums for Cotique Records before disbanding in the early 1970s. Following a 25-year hiatus, the group reunited to release new material – including the Grammy-nominated Back on the Streets via Fania in 2008. Today, the band shares their classic New York sound with contemporary audiences: big percussion, vibrophone, harmonies, and swinging rhythms for salsa dancers.  There are two ways to access this event: 1.

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.

Over the course of a single adventure-filled day, he and his loyal sidekick, Sganarelle, encounter many of the people Don Juan has betrayed.

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.

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 | Clockwork: Multimedia Solo Exhibition Interrogating Systems of Power


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.

Book Discussion | New York Times-Columnist Shares His New Biography on Literary Icon Judy Blume


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.

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


Author Raissa Bretaña 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 Bretaña 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.

Talk | Art History & Curatorial Experts Discuss the Visual Culture of Pahari Paintings


Moving beyond questions of attribution, the conversation with art historian and professor Molly Emma Aitken traces artists, patrons and practices across regions. This talk reveals a shared visual culture shaped by movement and exchange. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, the Pahari kingdoms of the northwestern Himalayas created a luminous world of painting—intimate, expressive and richly coloured. In this richly illustrated session, celebrated curator Sonya Rhie Mace explores a remarkably dispersed collection that offers new ways of seeing these works.
