Discussion | In Need of Shelter: Protecting the City's Children from Homelessness


The de Blasio administration has made reducing family homelessness a key priority. Nevertheless, homeless families spend on average over 400 days in city shelters, and the number of families is near a record high. Young children are overrepresented; the number of kids under the age of 6 in shelters has grown nearly 60 percent since 2006. How can we keep children in city-subsidized shelters safe? How can we use the time they spend in shelter to foster rather than derail their development? How can we support parents who are leaving shelters that may be the only homes their children have known? Moderated by Clara Hemphill, interim director, Center for New York City Affairs at the New School, experts in the field discuss the latest edition of Child Welfare Watch.

Lecture | Gender, Nation and Revolution: The Role of Women in the EuroMaidan Protests of 2013-2014 in Ukraine


A presentation by Dr. Tamara Martsenyuk, Petro Yacyk Program Fellow, University of Toronto, and Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology, National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.” Women's participation in EuroMaidan and its social and media evaluations largely reflect the social position of women in the Ukrainian society. In her presentation Dr. Martsenyuk will try to discuss three major ideas: (International) media discourse about EuroMaidan was “narrow”, practices are much more diverse; women were not “helpers”, but “participants” of EuroMaidan; women had possibility to fulfill not only “traditional” roles, new niches for egalitarian participation were possible.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Adam Straus' Even the 21st Century Longs for the Sublime


Adam Straus is an American artist based in Riverhead, New York. Starting as a photographer and sculptor, his fascination of the creative process and his observation of the galleries at the Met Museum redirected him to a self-taught painting career. Straus creates paintings that are seductive and gloomily romantic with views of skylines and seascapes, fields and mountains. The paintings go beyond contemplation, and present his concerns about the cruel reality of our planet. In his oils, Straus represents the struggle and survival of mankind and mankind’s effect on nature.

Opening Reception | Paintings: Peter Nadin's Still Life


The pictures from 1979-1983 vary wildly in their style (some impasto, some surrealist, some incorporating text) and follow an apostolic succession - in the secular sense - dating back to de Chirico, Picasso, Cézanne, Caravaggio and countless masters before them. Nadin views the chronology of his still life paintings as a reflection of his psychological regression at the time. What began as a polite set of interiors, literally flew out the window, crashing into the landscape and ultimately commingling with language from his poetry. Tanam Press published a compilation of his Still Life poems in conjunction with the December 1983 show.

Lecture | Half-Sisters, Radical Queens, Lesbian Separatists, and Non-Men: Second Wave Trans Feminism


A lecture by Emma Heaney, Draper Program. This talk moves off from archival documents of trans feminist political thought and struggle in the 1970s to suggest how trans feminist thought and practice — both “then and now” — can clarify two points that stalled 1970s feminist projects: (1) how can we be liberated “as women” when it is precisely the historical content of “woman” we seek to escape, and (2) can woman operate as a political category when women’s experiences are so vastly different according to race, class, and cis versus trans experience?
