Opening Reception | Elidor Mehilli: An infinite archive: Albania's Transformation
Since the early 2000s, Elidor Mehilli has assembled a vast archive on the dramatic transformation of his hometown, Tirana, Albania. This body of work encompasses photographic series, thousands of documents, ephemera, and found objects. While research often takes him inside formal party, state, and security police archives, this broader visual practice reimagines the idea of the archive itself. Mëhilli’s work captures Tirana’s bewildering transition from communist-era central planning to neoliberalism. The collapse of the party-state in the early 1990s triggered a mass migration to the periphery of the city, which was ill-equipped to handle it. Ordinary residents transformed into amateur architects, converting ground floors into shops and adding illegal floors to prefabricated blocks. Various governments have tried to dominate the city, but Tirana tends to defy them, pursuing an unruled life. As tourism surges today, star architects flock to the capital to design gleaming high-rises. The construction craze and the steep rise in real estate prices puts immense pressure on historical landmarks located on valuable land. In this heady rush to attract money and attention—to reinvent a city and a country so that it becomes legible to the West—what to do with versions of the past deemed unmarketable? In a process that began with earlier shows at galleries at Cornell University (2005) and Princeton University (2007), Mëhilli explores this ongoing tug-of-war. He tracks the transformation of familiar places of his teenage years, like the raw graffitied façade of a housing block that served as a backdrop to a playground and a mysterious kiosk stuffed with old books that has somehow survived the decades of turmoil. He assembles textual and visual biographies of erased architecture, documents the denials to his requests for access to classified archival files, collects “obsolete history” discarded along city streets, and writes editorials for local papers, putting together a counter-archive to a country struggling with its past and desperate to plug itself into global circuits of capital.

Book Discussion | All the World Beside: Gay in Puritan New England
Garrard Conley presents his electrifying, deeply moving novel about the love story between two men in Puritan New England Cana, Massachusetts: a utopian vision of 18th-century Puritan New England. To the outside world, Reverend Nathaniel Whitfield and his family stand as godly pillars of their small-town community, drawing Christians from across the New World into their fold. One such Christian, physician Arthur Lyman, discovers in the minister's words a love so captivating it transcends language. As the bond between these two men grows more and more passionate, their families must contend with a tangled web of secrets, lies, and judgments which threaten to destroy them in this world and the next. And when the religious ecstasies of the Great Awakening begin to take hold, igniting a new era of zealotry, Nathaniel and Arthur search for a path out of an impossible situation, imagining a future for themselves which has no name. Their wives and children must do the same, looking beyond the known world for a new kind of wilderness, both physical and spiritual. Set during the turbulent historical upheavals which shaped America's destiny and following in the tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, All the World Beside reveals the very human lives just beneath the surface of dogmatic belief. Bestselling author Garrard Conley has created a page-turning, vividly imagined historical tale that is both a love story and a crucible.

Concert | Many Paths to the Divine: Devotional Music from the Indian, Persian, and Arab Traditions (in-person and online)
The program builds on the rich devotional repertoire in the Indian, Persian and Arab traditions. The many paths to the Divine cross at meeting points where different languages, religions and mystical traditions use the same language of love and metaphors of intoxication. Souls yearning for unity with the universe in a primordial state of complete knowledge, and express that yearning, Wajd as the Sufis call it, through poetry and song. Most members of the ensemble have been making music together for more than two decades and find joy and meaning in these re-encounters of cultures, religions and languages that have interacted with each other throughout history. The concert will be followed by a discussion with the musicians: GAURAV SHAH (Vocals, Harmonium, Bansuri) ADITYA PHATAK (Tabla) YOUSEF TEHRANI (Vocals, Daf) HEDAYAT SHAFEI (Tar, Vocals) ZAFER TAWIL (Oud, Nay, Vocals) TAOUFIK BEN AMOR (Vocals, Daf, Bendir)

Talk | Photographer Talk: Picturing Fashion
A talk with fashion photographer Diane Allford. Born in Philadelphia, Allford grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. She initially took photography classes to help with her work as a broadcast and print journalist. Soon after, she fell in love with photography. Allford’s style centers narrative. Her fashion photography is part of her journey starting out as an urban street-style photographer. Today, she is a professional fashion and advertising photographer. Allford shoots editorial and commercial imagery for marketing, eCommerce, and advertising. Through collaboration with fashion designers, wardrobe stylists, and hair and makeup artist professionals, she creates fashion images based on the aesthetics of the clothes, the locations, and the magic that happens when everyone comes together on set. There is a different approach in post-production where she creates surreal fashion-forward fine art digital collages that incorporate the fashion photos with additional visual elements that sometimes include social commentary.

In the early 1980's Brookmeyer was mentored by composer Earle Brown, with whom he explored 20th century classical music in depth. Carla Bley (1936 - 2023) a pianist, composer and arranger who carved out her own niche in avant-garde jazz, creating a singular musical style that was both daring and distinctly tender

Book Discussion | Never a Dull Moment: The 80th Airborne Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion in World War II (online)
Historian Ben Powers will speak on his latest book. Most modern books and films glamorize World War II airborne soldiers as troopers leaping into the night to descend by parachute into combat. Much less often considered is the role of glider forces. Glider troops lacked the panache and special distinctions of paratroopers, despite their critical role in airborne warfare. Likewise, World War II ground combat is characterized as a combined arms fight of infantry and armor, backed up with field artillery; by comparison the role played by specialized, supporting arms has received scant attention. The 80th AAA Battalion was a glider outfit, providing antiaircraft defense and antitank capability to the division’s three infantry regiments as battlefield conditions dictated. Elements of the battalion fought in Italy, Normandy, Holland and the Battle of the Bulge, making combat glider assaults during both Operation Neptune and Operation Market Garden. The exploits of the men of the 80th tend to be obscured as commanders maneuvered the batteries wherever their special skills were needed on the battlefield, with no regiment to call a permanent home. The 80th AAA battalion was a hybrid unit. While its members were considered Coast Artillery (the branch responsible for defending ground formations from air attack during WWII), they fought alongside parachute and glider infantry, most often providing direct fire, anti-armor support with 57mm/6 pounder cannons. While field artillery, both parachute and glider, established their gunlines some distance behind infantry units to provide indirect fire support, the men of the 80th fought face to face with the enemy, alongside their infantry brothers.
