Lecture | Soviet Yogis – Who Were They? (in-person and online)

The history of yoga’s metamorphoses from marginalized spiritual-militaristic tradition in India to commercialized mega-business associated with neoliberal notions of personal wellness has received a lot of scholarly attention in the West. But the 20 th century transformation of yoga into an exportable mind-body practice took a different route into the Soviet Union, where yoga was alternately banned, and officially embraced at the highest levels. In this talk, I use the framework of contemporary ecological economics and Degrowth theory to show how in the post-war period, Soviet authorities could accommodate yoga as technology of growth and expansion (for instance, to help the cosmonauts conquer space), but not as a rejection of the fundamental imperative of extraction-based growth and ‘progress’ pursued by both sides of the Cold War. In the time provided, I will try to highlight a few case studies, as well as encourage us to think about the connection between yoga as a practice to regulate individual metabolism and yoga as a commentary on the Marx-inspired notion of ‘metabolic rift.’ Speaker Yvonne Howell is Professor of Russian and Global Studies at the University of Richmond.

Concert | 2 Virtuoso Guitarists

Two of the greatest guitarists of our time come together for an incredible evening of music.

Lecture | Thinking About Absence in Museums

In this talk, Benedicte Savoy will look at the emptiness that art and cult objects leave in their place of origin when, in the course of history, through armed conflict, colonial occupation or economic asymmetries, they have been moved to be displayed in (mostly Western) museums - with all the political, economic and epistemological implications that this entails. Bénédicte Savoy is Professor of Modern Art History at the Technische Universität Berlin.

Classical Music | Violin Duos by Bach and Bartok (in-person and online)

In this eclectic program, Duo Sapientia seeks to explore the resonances that emerge from duo violin music from three different periods, the Renaissance, the Baroque, and the Twentieth Century. The four composers featured -- Thomas Morley, Orlando Gibbons, J. S. Bach and Bela Bartok -- all share contrapuntal textures and fragmentary, conversational gestures. The interplay between modal music and traditional harmony in these pieces creates intriguing interactions for the listeners and players alike. Duo Sapientia was formed in the spring of 2024 during rehearsal breaks in a Buxtehude project. In true amateur style, Wolman introduced Ahn to Gibbons duos and discovered their mutual sensibilities over phrasing, gestures, and general musick-ing. Since then, they have been scheming to collaborate on various musical projects -- most notably, their current Bartok-focused endeavor, as well as one centered on Hildegard.
