9 free things to do in New York City (NYC) on Monday, November 9, 2020

All events are free unless otherwise noted.
        

Staged Reading | Eurostar: A Roadmovie as a Chamber Play, tragicomedy with Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth (virtual)


Authors Stefan Zweig (1881 - 1942) and Joseph Roth (1894 - 1939) return as ghosts to the Europe of 2020. They accompany a literary scholar and her trainee during a research trip on a train journey from Vienna to London. Between tragedy and comedy, their attempts oscillate to position themselves on current developments in Europe. This causes affection and rejection, from which changing alliances and unbridgeable differences emerge. Everything is in a state of change: Europe through which they travel, the relationships they have with each other, and their self-reference. Written by Ursula Knoll and Barbara Kadletz Directed by Stephanie Schmiderer The film can be streamed anytime until Nov 30th.

Discussion | Egypt's Occupation: Colonial Economism and the Crises of Capitalism (virtual)


The history of capitalism in Egypt has long been synonymous with cotton cultivation and dependent development. From this perspective, the British occupation of 1882 merely sealed the country's fate as a vast plantation for European textile mills. All but obscured in such accounts, however, is Egypt's emergence as a colonial laboratory for financial investment and experimentation. Professor Aaron Jakes' new book Egypt's Occupation tells for the first time the story of that financial expansion and the devastating crises that followed, and offers a sweeping reinterpretation of both the historical geography of capitalism in Egypt and the role of political-economic thought in the struggles that raged over the occupation. Aaron Jakes will be joined by Professors Benoit Challand, Nancy Fraser, Julia Ott, Emma Park and Ann Stoler.

The works are paired together with Beethoven's String Quintet, Op. 29, the composer's only work for string quintet. Beethoven's piece recalls Mozart's string quintets while looking ahead to the establishment of his own revolutionary style.

Discussion | Visual Artist Explores the Relationship Between Technology and the Human Condition (virtual)


Maria Antelman is a visual artist whose work explores the relationship between technology and the human condition. Inspired by new and old technologies, Antelman addresses our society’s dependence on technology, and the way humans adapt to meet the needs of the digital landscape. Speaking about her work, Antelman states: “As we become extensions of the technologies we use, our tools change us and change the way we respond to the world. These subtle, yet deep transformations, routed in the complicated systems that machines weave around us, are my main concerns.” In this artist talk, Antelman will speak about her practice and her work featured in the online exhibition Companion Pieces: New Photography 2020 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
