Film | All About Eve (1950): Classic Drama Film with Bette Davis & Marylin Monroe
An aspiring actress feigns humility and naivete to connive her way under the wing of a veteran Broadway star. She manipulates those in the star's circle in hopes of cheating her way to the top. Based on the short story "The Wisdom of Eve" by Mary Orr. Director: Joseph L. Mankiewicz Cast: Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Thelma Ritter, Marilyn Monroe Bette Davis was an American actress of film, television, and theater. She's considered one of the greatest actresses in Hollywood history, often playing unsympathetic, sardonic characters, and her performances in a range of film genres, although her greatest successes were her roles in romantic dramas. Over the course of her career, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, was the first person to accrue ten Academy Award nominations (and one write-in) for acting, and was the first woman to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. In 1999, Davis was placed second on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. Marilyn Monroe was an American actress and model, often considered the face of the face of Hollywood's Golden Age. She was often cast as comic "blonde bombshell" character roles. During her lifetime, her films grossed $200 million (~$2 billion in 2025). She won many awards, including a Golden Globe, and received even more nominations.

Attend a talk by Hilde Hoogenboom (Associate Professor in the School of International Letters and Cultures at Arizona State University) on her new book, Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels: A European Literary History. Moderated by Irina Reyfman. Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels rewrites the history of nineteenth-century Russian novels. Hilde Hoogenboom examines how Russians created a new literature against substantial odds: 90 per cent of novels published in Russia through the 1850s were foreign. Using data from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century catalogues, Hoogenboom visualizes readers' large appetite for translated sentimental and sentimental realist novels, many by such internationally renowned women as Madame de Genlis, Sophie Cottin, and George Sand.

Screening | Interdisciplinary Artist Shares His Video Works (+ Q&A)
Enjoy a screening and Q&A with interdisciplinary artist Coleman Collins to discuss his video works, Specular Fiction and The Upper Room. Primarily derived from 3D scans of objects, and with a particular focus on digital replicas of West African architectural sites, Specular Fiction (2024) is a short, speculative narrative video that traces the complex relationships between seemingly dichotomous terms: original and copy; object and image; real and virtual space. In an imagined future of indeterminate distance, the objects of the world have been destroyed, leaving only the mirror-world of their digital replicas behind. The Upper Room (2025) traces the often destructive effects of mimetic desire through a narrative video essay that weaves together fact and speculative fiction. Drawing parallels between diasporic fantasies of return, gospel music, and 19th-century projects of nation-state building, The Upper Room examines the ways in which both real and imagined spaces are collectively produced.

Terry opens with a talk tracing the evolution of his two decades of work, illuminating how memory, land, and cultural resilience inform his creative and political commitments. He then performs Recipe for Staying Curious—a ritualized, recipe-shaped spoken-word piece that transforms kitchen practice into a framework for lifelong inquiry. Organized around intention, preparation, improvisation, iteration, and community, the performance invites participants to consider curiosity as both a discipline and a liberatory act. Following the talk, attendees will engage in a sensory exploration of spices and herbs—some sourced from regional farms—using touch, scent, and sound.

Discussion | Scholar Explores 18th-Century Literature of the Afterlife
This talk (by Kate Tunstall, Professor of French at the University of Oxford) considers the powers of literature to accord or not accord an afterlife, and at what price. It focuses on two women: one, whose (alleged) last words were “Est-ce que je vis encore?” namely Julie de Lespinasse (1732-1776), known today as a salonnière and the author of a series of tragic love-letters; the other, Charlotte Bourette, formerly Curé (1714-1784), a café owner and prolific poet who remains completely unknown today. The talk juxtaposes the two women with the aim of bringing into clear focus what literature does, and what can be done with it.

Talk | Renowned Artist Mary Frank Discusses the Connection between Art & Earth
Renowned artist Mary Frank reflects on the seamless connection between the planet and its inhabitants. Through the product of her hands she explores both the majesty and tragedy of human existence. Sustained by nature's incomparable beauty, her advocacy and activism is as much a part of her art as paint, canvas and clay. Over the course of Frank’s career, she has worked in many mediums and materials, most notably with her monoprints, drawings, sculpture, painting and photography, and has been the subject of numerous solo museum and gallery exhibitions over the years. As described by art critic John Yau, Frank paints “elemental worlds largely inhabited by women (men, plants and animals) who are maenads, oracles, winged creatures and warriors –solitary and self-sustaining beings…(her) photographs of tableaus, which she assembles out of a variety of works she has made in different mediums, are all in pursuit of further defining the conditions of a mythic world.”

This conversation will examine the ways in which the market for 19th-century photographs has evolved over the past 45 years. In discussion with Darius Himes, the International Head of Photographs for Christie's, Kraus will reflect on the state of today's market, particularly for early photographs, and the opportunities available to collectors. When Hans Kraus began as a photography dealer in 1980, attention was focused on the upcoming 150th anniversary of photography in 1989. Fox Talbot's negative/positive process on paper and Daguerre's direct positive on polished silver were both revealed in 1839. Today, we face another moment of transition while looking ahead to the medium's bicentennial.

Film | Alfred Hithcock's The Trouble with Harry (1955): Technicolor Black Comedy
Harry's dead and, while no one really minds, everyone feels responsible. After Harry's body is found in the woods, several locals must determine not only how and why he was killed but what to do with the body. Based on the 1950 book of the same name. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Edmund Gwenn, John Forsythe, Shirley MacLaine 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 of 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.

Lecture | Discover the Politics of Environmental Conservation in the Late Soviet Arctic (In Person AND Online!)
This talk will explore how the mechanical all-terrain tracks left on the tundra surface by geological prospectors, military personnel, and industrial workers in the late Soviet Arctic initially alarmed local Indigenous communities, then raised concerns among environmental conservationists, and ultimately became a key argument in transnational efforts to establish one of the first Arctic tundra nature reserves (known as a zapovednik in Russian) on the Taymyr Peninsula in 1978. To trace how these physical imprints on the ground scaled up into a global environmental concern, the author employs a metaphor used by Indigenous Nenets herders, who describe the tundra surface as an animal skin. This corporeal and tactile metaphor resonates with the visionary works on the biosphere that were formative for the academic conceptualization of planetary-level disruptions. The resulting entanglements of the local and the global in the politics of nature protection constitute the core of this research.

Book Discussion | Book Launch: The Silver Fish by Former Security Official Connor Martin
Connor Martin (writer and former senior US national security official) launches his debut novel, The Silver Fish: A Thriller. Book synopsis: Journalist Danielle “Dani” Moreau has spent a lifetime trying to outrun the privilege she was born into. Fresh off a personal tragedy, she lands in Ghana to uncover corruption in the local oil industry. But when she crosses paths with James Aidoo, an idealistic young Ghanaian whose father is a local populist politician, Dani remembers what drew her to journalism in the first place: you go looking for a story, but when the real story appears, it’s never the one you expected. A twisty double-cross narrative, The Silver Fish opens with a spy operation going horrifically off course and takes the reader sprinting through crowded markets, darkened bars, bustling ports, and steaming jungle on the way to a startling conclusion. It will leave the reader shocked, moved, better-informed—and eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the story.

Galleries | Exhibition Discussion on Contemporary Australian Indigenous Art
Experience a discussion regarding the current exhibitions, Kaṉparkanya - The Wanampi—a solo exhibition by Timo Hogan—and Paltjuliri—a solo exhibition by Kunmanara Patju Presley, which present two distinguished senior Pitjantjatjara artists from the Spinifex community. Kaṉparkanya - The Wanampi and Paltjuliri present a rare dual opportunity to experience the spiritual depth and visual élan of contemporary Australian Indigenous art from the remote outback community of Tjuntjuntjara in Western Australia's Great Victoria Desert. Expressing a rich trans-cultural dialogue, paintings by Presley and Hogan elegantly bridge the ancient ontological mappings of Spinifex Tjukurpa with the formal innovations of modernist abstraction.

Lecture | Scholar Explores the World of Serbian Surrealism & Its Legacy
This event is a lecture by Branislav Jakovljević, Sara Hart Kimball Professor of the Humanities at Stanford University, on Serbian surrealism and its legacy. Moderated by Aleksandar Bošković. If the Belgrade group, rarely discussed in international scholarly circles, can be said to represent the lost tribe of surrealism, it is because of its staunch commitment to the politics of what Georges Bataille called “essential surrealism.” Their passage from surrealist works to radical social action, exemplified most clearly in the anti-fascist struggle that several Belgrade surrealists joined during World War II, represents one of the key moments in the history of international surrealism. The case in point is Koča Popović, a founding member of the Belgrade surrealist group, who had a distinguished career as a military commander, first in the Spanish Civil War, and then in the guerilla struggle against the Nazi occupying forces in Yugoslavia, from which he emerged as Commander-in-Chief of the Yugoslav partisan army. This talk presents Popović’s war diaries as a unique realization of the ideal of the surrealist novel: without precursors or followers, leaving Literature behind, and aspiring toward other, non-scriptive, forms of writing.

Using a historical-comparative approach and qualitative analysis of archival material, this work examines the trajectories of American scientists, engineers, politicians, and industrialists from 1787 to 1982, in their quest to establish a national system of weights and measures. It argues that to understand the unreachable distance between the United States and the metric system, we must consider the interaction between three structural elements: historical timing, state infrastructural power, and international economic integration.

Talk | Curator Explores the Czechoslovakian Avant-Garde (In Person AND Online!)
Writer and curator Meghan Forbes explores how Czechoslovakia’s avant-garde group Devětsil used print to spark a cultural revolution. Founded in 1920, Devětsil was an influential association of artists, architects, actors, and poets. United by Marxist politics, its members shared ideas through magazines and almanacs they edited and designed. In her new book Technologies for the Revolution, Meghan Forbes offers a close look at the collaboration between the Czechoslovak avant-garde and print technicians. By examining the interplay of typography, architecture, poetry, photography, film, and performance, Forbes presents a nuanced portrait of the group—highlighting its contributions to European avant-garde culture and its vision of a socialist utopia.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Author of School Nurse An Eunyoung Discusses Contemporary Korean Literature (+ Signing)
Experience a special literary conversation with Serang Chung, one of the most widely read and beloved voices in contemporary Korean literature. This program will present an in-depth conversation with the author about her creative process, her genre-defying approach to storytelling, and the themes that shape her work. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Sang-Keun Yoo and will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Her genre-crossing works move fluidly between realism and the fantastic, illuminating everyday lives through vivid imagination and a keen sensitivity to the social worlds people inhabit. Blending warmth, wit, and an attentive gaze toward human relationships, her stories explore how people continue to care for one another even in uncertain and fragile times. Beyond the page, she has reached global audiences through the Netflix adaptation of The School Nurse Files and her contribution to Star Wars: Visions Season 2, “Journey to the Dark Head.” A limited number of complimentary copies will be available at the event on a first-come, first-served basis.

Journalists and experts in the manipulation of digital images and content authentication will discuss the corrosive impact of deepfake/shadow content on trust in the media, the role of content provenance authentication to make the digital landscape safer, techniques and governance patterns to ensure responsible, human-in-the-loop AI use in the newsroom, and where the industry is heading. Following the panel discussion, there will be a Q&A.

In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, join survivor and Speakers Bureau member Celia Kener for a special public event. This annual observance encourages people to remember those who were lost and honor the stories of those who survived.
Born in 1935 in Lvov, Poland, Celia was just a young girl when the German invasion in 1941 shattered her family's world. Her father was drafted into the Russian army, and Celia, her mother, and her extended family were forced into the ghetto. When her mother was selected for a labor camp, weekend visits became their only connection. Fearing she might not survive, Celia's mother made the heartbreaking decision to place her with a childless Catholic couple who could keep her safe.
Ms. Kener will share her story, followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Discussion | Award-Winning Writer Discusses Public Beliefs around the Apocalypse
This talk by writer Amitov Ghosh seeks to understand the thinking behind public interest in the apocalypse and what it signifies for the future of humanity. The world is currently in the grip of several intensifying crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, geopolitical instability, and so on. Given the scale of the disruptions that are already being felt around the planet, it is hardly surprising that many people have come to be convinced that an apocalypse is inevitable and requires active planning and preparation. This trend cannot be lightly dismissed, for it is being spearheaded by the founders of companies like Facebook and Google, that is to say, figures who are uniquely well-placed to stay abreast of all the latest information and research. It is well-known now that several billionaire tech entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, and Peter Thiel are preparing for an impending apocalypse by building enormously expensive and heavily fortified retreats on remote islands or in sparsely populated stretches of the United States and Canada. Not to be left behind, a bevy of America’s most popular stars, such as Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise, have also acquired cutting-edge apocalypse shelters. Nor are the ultra-rich the only Americans who are investing in doomsday retreats: so great is the demand that a new and rapidly growing industry has emerged to cater to it.

In this book, Schiff provides a dazzling narrative of Franklin’s time in France, one of the least-explored chapters of his life. In December 1776, Benjamin Franklin undertook the greatest gamble of his career. The American colonies had declared independence but were without money, munitions, or gunpowder. Amid great secrecy, Franklin crossed the wintry Atlantic to solicit aid from the French monarchy. He was 70 years old, without any diplomatic training, and possessing only the most rudimentary French.

In this film, the acclaimed music video producer, Hype Williams reimagines the city through a hypnotic, neo-noir lens. A landmark of Hip Hop cinema, its visual language, music, and style remain unmatched—an enduring portrait of ambition, loyalty, and excess. The film moves between Harlem, Queens, and the Caribbean.

Director: Hype Williams Cast: Nas, DMX, Taral Hicks, T-Boz, Method Man Nas is an American rapper, entrepreneur, and record producer.

In 2015, Nas was featured on the "10 Best Rappers of All Time" list by Billboard. Outside of recording, he serves as associate publisher of Mass Appeal magazine, and co-founded its spin-off division Mass Appeal Records, a record label that has signed artists including Dave East, N.O.R.E., Run the Jewels, and Swizz Beatz, among others. Nas has released seventeen studio albums since 1994, ten of which are certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum in the U.S. Earl Simmons, known professionally as DMX, was an American rapper, songwriter, and actor. His accolades included an American Music Award, a Billboard Music Award, and six Grammy Award nominations.

It also helps us understand contemporary nativism, distinguishes what is new from long-established patterns, reveals how legacies of earlier immigration shape the lives of present-day arrivals, and offers a fresh look at what lies ahead.

Discussion | Experts Discuss "Climate Migration"
This panel brings together Anna Stilz (UC Berkeley, Political Science), Sunil Amrith (Yale, History), and Leah Zamore (Zolberg Institute/The New School) to examine how each scholar and practitioner engages climate migration in their own work, and to interrogate what the concept names, what it obscures, and what it does in practice. “Climate migration” is now a central term in public debate—but also a contested one. Does it clarify urgent forms of movement in a warming world, or flatten distinct causes, responsibilities, and policy responses into one expansive category? What makes mobility intelligible as a specifically climatic phenomenon rather than as a question of development, inequality, land, or labor? And how does this language shape politics--enabling political planning and solidarity in some contexts, while in others provoking fear-driven reaction?

Opening Reception | wait until my sugar melts: Multi-Artist Exhibition Exploring Access to the Body
wait until my sugar melts is an exhibit that guides the viewer across different historical moments, with works spanning from 1977 to 2026, presenting a spectrum of social scripts that regulate access to the body. Works by Mae Howard and Martha Rosler touch upon the administrative systems of structural authority that normalize access to the body, revealing how normative conventions quietly legitimize intrusion. Susan Meiselas, Nadia Markiewicz, and Sarah Friend shift attention to the economies that organize this access and the complex relationship of the gaze as a controlling force, revealing how desire and economic incentive structure the porous boundary between exploitation and agency. Nate Dallimore and Azita Moradkhani’s work then turns inward, showing what happens once these systems settle beneath the skin, bridging external structures of power and the internal experience of the body. In Johanna Hedva’s work, access to the body is no longer assumed but deliberately structured through acts of negotiation. The exhibition culminates in works by Spandita Malik and Teresa Firmino Kutala, where the body becomes a site through which authorship is reclaimed, and normative conditions are renegotiated. The aim is not to shock viewers, but rather to reveal reality itself as the shocking condition in which our bodies exist.

Lecture | Interdisciplinary Artist Sean Fader Discusses His Craft & Career
Hear from Sean Fader, a New York–based interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of photography, performance, installation, and emerging technologies. Through staged photographs, participatory encounters, and networked forms of display, his work examines how identity is performed and archived—especially within queer cultural practice—and how public memory is constructed, erased, or fought for in contemporary life. His projects often unfold across multiple platforms, including exhibitions, public interventions, and interactive digital layers, treating the photographic image as both evidence and event. Fader’s recent work includes Insufficient Memory, a long-term project that traces unmarked sites connected to anti-LGBTQ+ violence and asks what it means to remember when the archive is incomplete. Works from Insufficient Memory are in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. He is currently developing Queer American Memorials, a memorial initiative that places site markers embedded with NFC and augmented reality experiences, creating a living, distributed archive rooted in place and built with community participation.

Discussion | Law Expert Discusses American Gerontocracy
Samuel Moyn, Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and History at Yale University, discusses American gerontocracy with Mira Siegelberg. As Americans debate President Biden’s infirmities and President Trump’s erratic behavior, we’ve neglected the bigger problem before us: a massive transfer of power and wealth to the oldest among us, and the curtailment of the prospects of the young. Even apart from the presidency, in legislatures, businesses, and the courts, the average leader’s age has risen dramatically. The elderly predominantly fund campaigns and dominate their agendas, often with the intent to block any challenge to their status. The tax code is rigged on their behalf, as is an economy geared to sheltering financial and housing assets. The United States was founded on the promise of generational renovation but has become an increasingly febrile country of old men. Fortunately, there is a problem to confront the consequences of the extension of life for our political order.

Opening Reception | On Foot: Photographic Journey Exhibition (+ Artist Discussion)
Experience Esther Levine’s exhibition On Foot, a photographic journey along an invisible line, following memories, family history, and stories Esther Levine grew up with. The story unfolds through landscapes, roadsides, and encounters alongside the path where nothing seems to happen, yet everything does. Each photograph marks a pause in the movement (act of walking). The walk follows a line that is both geographical and internal, tracing histories buried beneath the surface of the landscape. The repetition of views mirrors the rhythm of walking, slow attentive and accumulative. What emerges is not a document of a route, but a visual record of memory made tangible through the act of walking, noticing, seeing and recording. The exhibition opening will include a conversation between Esther Levine and Sarah Girner.

Discussion | Artist/Writer Discusses NYC's Artistic Movements of the 1980s & 1990s
Artist and writer Gregg Bordowitz will present a lecture followed by a conversation with Benoît Loiseau on the "French Theory" and New York's artists in the 80s and 90s. During the 1980s and 1990s, many New York artists felt a sense of permission granted by semiotic, structuralist, and post-structuralist theory read in English translations of works written in French by Roland Barthes, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and many others. The wide-spread effects of these readings were both energizing and limiting. Artist Gregg Bordowitz recalls that so-called “French Theory” suggested artistic methods that did indeed result in genuine alternatives to established contemporary gallery practices. These alternatives were claimed by both artists and activists, combining a variety of different approaches—including visual arts, writing, performance, street activism, and models for institution-building—that defeated inherited distinctions among disciplines. Are those developments relevant to present circumstances? What can we learn from the past?

Lecture | Historical Researcher Explores the Life & Career of Gilded Age Artist Amalia Kussner
Author and historical researcher Kathleen Langone presents the full arc of artist Amalia Kussner's amazing life, many images of her stunning portraits, and some new research Ms. Langone has uncovered since publishing the Kussner biography. Throughout the latter half of the Gilded Age and up until WWI, Amalia Kussner was the sought after artist to render exquisite miniature portraits of many of the Who’s Who of that era. Her impressive list of portraits included, among many others: Edward VII, Mrs. Astor, Czar Nicholas II,Cecil Rhodes, and the Duchess of Marlborough (born Consuelo Vanderbilt). As she became more famous in the Edwardian Era, her popularity was compared with John Singer Sargent, and both their works were seen in the Royal Academy of Arts. But, paralleling her astonishing career, were scandals, such as a sudden and mysterious marriage in 1900, followed by a lawsuit whose contents were never revealed.

Lecture | Scholar Discusses German Fascist Propaganda Films
This talk (by Ian Fleishman, Chair of Cinema & Media Studies and Associate Professor in the Department of Francophone, Italian & Germanic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania) seeks to excavate the ecological erotics of propaganda films produced by the Hitler Youth and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Core. Common across these archives is pastoral imagery of homosocial bonding: strapping young men stripped to the waist while frolicking in nature or cheerfully laboring outdoors. Arguing that these images are intended in part to titillate, and tracing these tropes through the visual imaginary of contemporary nationalisms, the lecture will engage this media history to theorize the role of arousal in an eco-imperialist politics attracted to both racial and environmental homogeneity.

Screening | Ziyara (2021): Documentary on Jewish Community of Morocco (+ Discussion)
Celebrated filmmaker Simone Bitton embarks on a personal road trip across Morocco, tracing the remnants of the country’s once-thriving Jewish community. In the 1950s, Morocco was home to 300,000 Jews; today, only a small fraction remain, yet their saints’ tombs endure—cared for by Muslim guardians who preserve their memory. Through close examination of synagogues, shrines, and village records, Bitton uncovers stories of coexistence, loss, and endurance. Ziyara is both a meditation on migration and a hopeful reflection on shared heritage, revealing a delicate thread between past and present, tradition and modernity. As the camera gathers stories, smiles, and blessings, it patiently repairs connections long thought severed. Director: Simone Bitton Screening followed by a discussion with Benjamin Berman-Gladstone and Sami Everett. In Arabic, French, and English with English subtitles.

Lecture | Hsitorian Shares How the American Revolution Has Been Celebrated & Remembered through Time
Historian Jennifer Tucker explores how the American Revolution was presented as a multimedia spectacle a century before modern retellings. Long before Hamilton or Ken Burns’s The American Revolution, people were already finding new ways to tell the story of 1776. A century ago, as America celebrated its 150th anniversary, new technologies like photography, film, and lantern slides—hand-painted or transparent images projected for audiences—were transforming how we visualize history. These tools opened up exciting new ways to show the story of the Revolution. Jennifer Tucker, History Professor at Wesleyan University, explores the 1920s—a pivotal decade when teachers, filmmakers, historians, psychologists, and librarians drew on archives from around the world to build the first large-scale picture collections of U.S. history. Their work helped shape how Americans remembered, told, and debated the nation’s past through visual media.

Opening Reception | Compounding Interest: Multi-Artist Exhibition on the Individual vs. the Collective
This exhibition by MFA Fine Arts students, Compounding Interest, explores how ideas, materials, and experiences accumulate through repetition and experimentation, reflecting the emotional threshold of graduating in turbulent times. The works on view are shaped by personal, societal, and geographical influences, revealing how individual perspectives are informed by broader collective conditions. Through processes of layering, revision, and sustained inquiry, small gestures evolve into complex visual statements that question authorship, responsibility, and belonging. Together, the exhibition invites reflection on the tension between the individual “I” and the collective “we,” considering how these artists negotiate identity, community, and agency at a moment of profound transition.

Screening | AngelHeaded Hipster (2022): Documentary on the Music of Marc Bolan & T. Rex (+ Filmmaker Discussion)
AngelHeaded Hipster is the first documentary to explore the complex and revolutionary music and lyrics of Marc Bolan and T. Rex. Using archival performances, interviews with Bolan, Elton John, and Ringo Starr—plus filmed musical interpretations by artists such as Nick Cave, John Cameron Mitchell, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, U2, Lucinda Williams, Father John Misty, and son Rolan Bolan among others—this documentary creates an exuberant and thoughtful examination of a true original: a glam rock pioneer, gender-bending free spirit, and explorer of punk and soul music. We celebrate Bolan’s life from his teenage years digging through Carnaby Street dustbins with David Bowie, to his stellar music career and last relationship with Gloria Jones, all through a new, unique creative lens. Director: Ethan Silverman A conversation with Parsons faculty, Ethan Silverman, and College of Performing Arts faculty, Pippin Parker, will follow the screening.

The Swimmer is a haunting, surreal journey through suburban America, starring Burt Lancaster as a man determined to swim his way home through a chain of backyard pools. As his odyssey unfolds, sunlit affluence exposes the fractures beneath a carefully constructed life.

Classical Music | World Premiere of Boundless: Contemporary Soundscape with Acclaimed Musicians
Experience the one-night-only world premiere and album release of Min Xiao-Fen and Julian Kytasty's Boundless, a spellbinding musical creation where Eastern musical worlds converge. In Boundless, Xiao-Fen, an internationally acclaimed performer of the lute-like Chinese pipa, and Kytasty, a master of the Ukrainian zither-like bandura, join forces for an evening that defies classifications of border and era. In the spirit of the avant-garde improviser Derek Bailey, the string duo will mingle their respective instruments' venerable traditions to form a fresh and daring contemporary soundscape. Xiao-Fen’s composition “Xi Xi, Cuo Cuo (Wash and Rub)” reimagines the untold story of Chinese immigrants' relocation to the Mississippi Delta, while Kytasty’s “Travel Music” brings to life the journey of a rare bandura from Ukraine to Shanghai to Buenos Aires before finding its permanent home in New York City. Together, these two trailblazing musicians chart a luminous odyssey across personal histories, rich culture, and human connection. 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.

In this lecture, Professor Chad Cordova will be sharing insights from his recent book Towards a Premodern Posthumanism. What good is aesthetics in a time of ecological crisis? Toward a Premodern Posthumanism: Anarchic Ontologies of Earthly Life in Early Modern France shows that philosophical aesthetics contains unheeded potentialities for challenging the ontological subjection of nature to the human subject. Drawing on deconstructive, ecological, and biopolitical thought, Chad Córdova uncovers in aesthetics something irreducible to humanist metaphysics: an account of how beings emerge and are interrelated, responsive, and even response-able without reason or why.

The evening will include a post-screening discussion on Ingeborg Bachmann’s life and legacy with Asma Abbas and Nick Pinkerton.

Their letters, brought to life by actors in a recording studio, reveal a relationship shaped by longing, tension, and historical rupture. As past and present intertwine, the film captures how language, memory, and desire blur across time—placing Austrian literary history at its emotional and cultural core. Director: Ruth Beckermann

Book Synopsis: A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink.

Lecture | International Affairs Scholar Discusses Ukrainian Resistance over the Decades (In Person AND Online!)
In this talk, Eugene Finkel (Kenneth H. Keller Professor of International Affairs, Johns Hopkins SAIS) explores Russia’s centuries-long quest to dominate Ukraine, showing how imperial ambitions, nationalism, and Ukraine’s growing civic unity culminated in today’s war and its remarkable resistance. His book, Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred-Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine, uncovers the roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Ukraine is a key borderland between Russia and the West, and, following the rise of Russian nationalism in the nineteenth century, dominating Ukraine became the cornerstone of Russian policy. The Russian Empire, USSR and Putin’s Russia had long used violence to successfully crush Ukrainian efforts to chart a separate path. Today’s violence is just a more extreme version of Russia’s past efforts. But unlike in the past, the people of Ukraine have overcome their deep internal divisions, and this rise of civic Ukrainian nationalism explains the successful resistance to the invasion.

Talk | Multidisciplinary Artist Kevin Cooley Discusses His Climate & Nature-Based Work
Hear a talk with multidisciplinary artist Kevin Cooley, whose practice centers on humanity’s volatile relationship with nature, environmental narratives, and climate change—engaging both local and global concerns. Fire has long been both a subject and a force in Kevin Cooley’s work—something he has observed, documented, and even orchestrated. But when he lost his home and studio in the Eaton Fire, it ceased to be just an artistic fascination and became an inescapable reality. In this talk, Cooley shares the journey that led him to publish The Wizard of Awe, starting with meeting a fireworks maker named Ken Miller. Miller’s life was defined by fire in ways both mesmerizing and tragic. Now, standing in the aftermath of the fire that changed his own life, Cooley confronts these themes from a new perspective. What does it mean to document destruction when you yourself are affected? How does an artist engage with disaster without becoming consumed by it? Cooley will discuss the unintended consequences of his work with Miller, the burden of witnessing, and the unexpected ways in which photography, storytelling, and personal loss intersect.

Nancy Fraser and Wolfgang Streeck will discuss the causes of declining domestic fertility; the implications for labor supplies, tax revenues, and welfare services; and the impacts of increased migration on social integration. They will situate the fertility/migration nexus historically with respect to changes in labor markets, gender relations, family forms, consumer culture, and the general shape of capitalist life in wealthy countries. While migration is central to current political struggles, its relation to fertility has largely escaped notice. In all wealthy countries, a decades-long decline in fertility has become steeper in recent years. Everywhere, right-wing ideologues are trying to exploit the prospect of population decline.

Trinity Choir and Trinity Baroque Orchestra perform Am Abend aber desselbigen Sabbats and Warum Betrübst du dich, Mein Herz, cantatas that invite personal meditations on faith, doubt, and inner peace.

Artists have always looked either to the past or forward to an unknown future, often attempting to predict what awaits all of us with the knowledge that they have in their time. This need to consider our place and agency within a larger context is one [that] artists always struggle with; but today, it is something we all struggle with, as the choices necessary to guarantee a safe future are not in our hands. We will consider art that seeks out the past, present, and future of our Earth to answer the following question: how have artists considered their futures in the past, and what can we learn from them in imagining our own future?"

When the transition is being made from silent films to `talkies', everyone has trouble adapting. Don and Lina have been cast repeatedly as a romantic couple, but when their latest film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for the new singing part.

Directors: Gene Kelly, Stanley Donen Cast: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell, Cyd Charisse Gene Kelly was an American dancer, actor, singer, director, and choreographer. He was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style and sought to create a new form of American dance accessible to the general public, which he called "dance for the common man". He starred in, choreographed, and, with Stanley Donen, co-directed some of the best-regarded musical films of the 1940s and 1950s. Debbie Reynolds was an American actress, singer and entrepreneur. Her acting career spanned almost 70 years. Reynolds performed on stage and television and in films into her 80s. She was nominated for several Golden Globes, and a Tony Award.

Jaquira Díaz, Assistant Professor of Writing at Columbia University and Lambda Literary Award Finalist, discusses her new novel, This is the Only Kingdom, with Edwidge Danticat, African American and African Diaspora Studies. Book Synopsis: When Maricarmen meets Rey el Cantante, beloved small-time Robin Hood and local musician on the rise, she begins to envision a life beyond the tight-knit community of el Caserío, Puerto Rico—beyond cleaning houses, beyond waiting tables, beyond the constant tug of war between the street hustlers and los camarones. But breaking free proves more difficult than she imagined, and she soon finds herself struggling to make a home for herself, for Rey, his young brother Tito, and eventually, their daughter Nena. Until one fateful day changes everything. Fifteen years later, Maricarmen and Nena find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation as the community that once rallied to support Rey turns against them. Now, Nena, a teenager haunted by loss and betrayal and exploring her sexual identity, must learn to fight for herself and her family in a world not always welcoming.

Hear about Homesick for a World Unknown, in which Miriam Horn draws on thousands of pages from George B. Schaller's journals and letters, globe-spanning interviews, and two journeys into the field with the legendary scientist himself to trace his emergence as the founding father of modern wildlife conservation. Schaller and his wife, Kay, established a home in the jungle and came to share apes' rhythms and rules. After more than two years of immersive research--a groundbreaking methodology he would spend his life honing--Schaller transformed how the world viewed gorillas; they were not murderous brutes but tender creatures, and more like humans than any twentieth-century scientist had recognized. His mission to revolutionize our perceptions of wild animals would propel him across four continents and inspire generations of scientists.

Lecture | Philosophy Scholar Explores "Fascist Passions" throughout History (In Person AND Online!)
Judith Butler (Distinguished Visiting Professor of Philosophy at The New School and Distinguished Professor in the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley) explores "fascist passions". Fascist passions change historically. Yet some common features permit for them to be called fascist. The specific forms of sadistic exhilaration and revenge in operation now are passions undergone at psychic levels both involuntary and voluntary. They are also passionate reactions against social and legal movements and legal accomplishments that seek a restoration to forms of social hierarchy and exploitation (white supremacists, heteronormative, unrestrained capitalism).

Performance | //shrouded\\: Multi-Genre Living Poem Exploring Memory & Transformation
In this performance, multi-spirited Nigerian American choreographer, author, performance artist, and curator jaamil olawale kosoko's award-winning work is rooted in a complex interdisciplinary practice that merges theater, video, sculpture, and the exploration of queer Black theory. Their new work, //shrouded\\, is a living poem and performative ceremony that recasts the body as an archive of memory and transformation. Performed by kosoko and their ensemble of visionary collaborators, //shrouded\\ unfolds in a shifting veil of silks that conceal and reveal states of metamorphosis. As performers slip between presence and absence, mourning and joy, figure and shadow, kosoko dares to ask what it means to choose to go unseen—in an age shaped by surveillance and spectacle. A unique mash up of poetry, sound, and movement, //shrouded\\ invites audiences into the communal act of reimagining the future. This is a work in development performance. 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.

The language of West African percussive art presents challenges to the Western musician: the music is not overtly counted, written, nor often played the same way twice. Artists draw from tradition, yet are expected to create their own style, and to improvise in that style. The featured instrument, the gyil, is played by the Lobi, Waala, Sissala, and Dagara nations of Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso.

Musical | The Elementary Spacetime Show: Surreal, Existential Musical (Ages 16+)
In the opening moments of The Elementary Spacetime Show, a young girl, Alameda, attempts to take her own life. She is drawn into a tunnel that deposits her into a liminal void somewhere between life and death. Alameda is faced with an awkward challenge: in order to die,she must play and win a game show. The girl clashes with a depressed mosquito, confronts her doppelgänger’s self-loathing, and adopts a piece of rhubarb as a confidante. Things only get stranger from there. Across the unfolding drama, a queer kinship builds between the unlikely friends she meets in limbo. The Elementary Spacetime Show is a touching and surreal new musical by Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer and lyricist César Alvarez, with a book by Alvarez and Emily Orling that offers possible answers about why we exist, even when you feel alone. Playbill says that Elementary Spacetime "bends the rules of space and time to grapple with suicide and the stigma tethered to it." Please note: This performance contains adult themes and strong language. Audience discretion is advised; this show is intended for ages 16+. 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.

Performance | Visual & Performance Artist Selma Selman Shares her "Dear Omer" Writings (+ Q&A)
Artist Selma Selman performs a lecture addressed to Omer–a fictional character she has been writing to for years. The performance centers on Selman reading her CV aloud: her education, residencies, and exhibitions, all offered as proof of a worth that Omer will never quite see. It is the kind of recounting you do for someone who makes you feel like nothing is ever enough. Alongside this, Selman will guide the audience through a selection of her works–pieces with strong narratives that sit close to the Dear Omer writings. Together, they offer a window into the textual practice that has run through her work for over a decade, where language becomes both the wound and the way through it. The evening closes with a Q&A, inviting the audience to go deeper into Selman's practice–to ask not just about the work, but about the choices, the obsessions, and what it means to keep addressing someone who never writes back.

Book Discussion | Expert Breaks Down Peter Hitchcock's New Book, Seriality and Social Change
This event features a discussion with Jonathan Gray (Associate Professor of English at John Jay College-CUNY) on Peter Hitchcock's new book, Seriality and Social Change, which explores how it structures both knowledge and social change. Through a sweeping analysis that links literature and political economy, Hitchcock explores how serialized narratives frame, sustain, or even hinder movements for change. Does seriality mirror the mechanics of capitalism, or can it be a tool for subverting them? Engaging with this question across genres and forms, Seriality and Social Change invites readers to rethink how revolution is told and imagined over time.

Book Discussion | Scholar Shares Her New Book, The Ocean on Fire: Pacific Stories from Nuclear Survivors and Climate Activists
Anaïs Maurer, Assistant Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Rutgers University, discusses her new book, The Ocean on Fire: Pacific Stories from Nuclear Survivors and Climate Activists. In The Ocean on Fire, Maurer analyzes the Pacific literature that incriminates the environmental racism behind radioactive skies and rising seas. Maurer identifies strategies of resistance uniting the region by analyzing an extensive multilingual archive of decolonial Pacific art in French, Spanish, English, Tahitian, and Uvean, ranging from literature to songs and paintings. She shows how Pacific nuclear survivors’ stories reveal an alternative vision of the apocalypse: instead of promoting individualism and survivalism, they advocate mutual assistance, cultural resilience, South-South transnational solidarities, and Indigenous women’s leadership. Drawing upon their experience resisting both nuclear colonialism and carbon imperialism, Pacific storytellers offer compelling narratives to nurture the land and each other in times of global environmental collapse.

Lecture | Author & Historian Shares Her Research on German Role in the American Revolution
Author and historian Dr. Friederike Baer shares her groundbreaking insights into Britain's war against American independence, told from the perspective of the thousands of German soldiers that were hired by Britain in its war against the American rebels. Collectively known as Hessians, the men and accompanying civilians, including hundreds of women and children, spent extended periods of time in locations as dispersed and varied as Canada in the north and West Florida in the south. In this presentation, Friederike Baer highlights key experiences of these individuals drawn into a war on a distant continent against a people who had done them no harm, and she examines how their presence and actions left a lasting imprint on the story of America, an influence still felt 250 years later.

Book Discussion | Bestselling Author Ruth Reichl Shares Her New Novel, The Paris Novel
Hear from bestselling writer Ruth Reichl—the former editor of Gourmet and New York Times restaurant critic, as she introduces her new novel, which is “nothing less than an absolute enchantment” (Nigella Lawson). When Stella’s mother dies, she leaves her daughter an unusual inheritance: a one-way plane ticket and a note reading “Go to Paris”. In the City of Light, Stella is forced out of her narrow New York comfort zone and into luxurious new French adventures. As the weeks—and many decadent meals—go by, Stella finds herself living as a “tumbleweed” at famed bookstore Shakespeare & Company, uncovers a hundred-year-old mystery in a Manet painting, and discovers an overwhelming passion for French cuisine. A “feast for the senses” (Oprah Daily), Reichl’s novel is a testament to living deliciously, taking chances, and finding your true home.

Classical Music | Orchestral Works by Buxtehede & More
Organist Avi Stein will transport audiences into the musical milieu from which Johann Sebastian Bach emerged. As a member of a distinguished family of composers and instrumentalists, Bach was keenly aware of his place in the lineage, and his vast collection of manuscripts — by relatives, predecessors, and contemporaries — reveals that wide repertoire of inspiration. Along with soprano soloist Elisse Albian and musicians from the Trinity Baroque Orchestra, Stein will perform intensely passionate pieces from two of Bach’s influential 17th-century predecessors: Dieterich Buxtehude (Trio Sonata in A Minor and Herr, wenn ich nur Dich hab) and Christoph Bernhard (Aus der Tieffen).

A museum for its patrons and a prison for its relics, FEMM is a place where women who behave outside of the patriarchal status quo are kept for their own safety. When Char is admitted to the “hysterics exhibition,” she meets four women who have been kept there for longer than they can remember—Ginny, an emotionally volatile recluse who touts complacency but is secretly manipulating her way to escape; Zee, an excitable harpy prone to fits of ecstasy; Via, an apathetic lover of morbidity; and Opi, who often gets lost in familiar places and speaks in strange hallucinogenic riddles. As Char enters their realm, she begins to discover a community among the madwomen, but pushes them to begin exposing the injustices of the emporium. Written by Zoe Stanton-Savitz.

Book Discussion | Former Goldman Sachs CEO Shares His New Book, Streetwise: Getting to and Through Goldman Sachs (In Person AND Online!)
Former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein reflects on leadership, risk, and his rise from public housing to the heights of global finance. In his new book, Streetwise, Lloyd Blankfein traces his 36-year career at Goldman Sachs, from his upbringing in East New York to helming one of the world’s most powerful financial institutions. Blankfein offers a candid account of his tenure—including navigating the 2008 financial crisis—and examines the pressures of decision-making in moments of uncertainty and the culture that defined the firm.

Book Discussion | Acclaimed Author Siri Hustvedt Shares Her New Memoir on Life with Paul Auster, Ghost Stories (In Person AND Online!)
Acclaimed novelist Siri Hustvedt reflects on the loss of her husband, Paul Auster, and her searing memoir of love and grief. In Ghost Stories, Siri Hustvedt reflects on the 43 years she shared with her husband, writer Paul Auster, tracing their life together from their early days in 1980s New York to his death in 2024. The memoir gathers memories of their daily rituals alongside Auster’s final writings, including letters and an unfinished work addressed to his grandson. Moving between personal recollection and philosophical inquiry, Ghost Stories is a meditation on memory, love, and the lives we continue to carry. The Library is proud to hold the papers of Paul Auster, which date from 1963 to 2022 and contain all aspects of his professional work, including typescript and holograph drafts, notebooks, correspondence, audio and moving image recordings, clippings, and ephemera. Hustvedt speaks with physician and literary scholar Rita Charon about how grief reshapes time and the self, and how a loved one’s presence lingers even after they’re gone.

Welcome to Harlem in Havana reimagined, where forbidden glamour, beauty, and electrifying performance collide. Brown Skin Showgirls: A Harlem in Havana Tribute Show, part of Harlem in Havana NYC, is a high-glam love letter to Black and Latine artistry.

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.

Discussion | Experts Discuss the Diversity Principle in Modern Intellectual Life (In Person AND Online!)
Learn how “All of us living today have benefited from the diversity principle, whether or not we’re willing to recognize its impact.” The diversity principle asserts that people with different backgrounds, experiences, identities, and viewpoints produce better work through engagement with one another. For more than two centuries, it has shaped countless ideas and institutions that define modern intellectual life, from John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty to 20th-century efforts toward equality. In his new book, The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea, UC Berkeley law professor David B. Oppenheimer, a former diversity skeptic, chronicles how this once-revolutionary idea became a foundational value in higher education over the past two centuries and the backlash it now faces. Oppenheimer talks with CNN political correspondent Van Jones about the role of diversity as a vital component of a thriving intellectual and political culture.
