Film | The Night Visitors (2023): A Documentary About Moths


Through a critical lens that is by turns social and personal, the film closely considers these underknown creatures. The small hours of the night are threaded through with a sense of mortality and loss. Moths, with their trembling and exquisite impermanence, provide both a kind of solace and a focal point around which the desire to know can be organized. The film looks at moths as aesthetic beings and as carriers of meaning, aiming for a deep encounter with the beauty and incommensurability of the profoundly other. Directed by Michael Gitlin 72 min. Followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker.

Book Discussion | Brooklyn Arcadia: Art, History, and Nature at Majestic Green-Wood (online)


Green-Wood is a living cemetery that brings people closer to the world by memorializing the dead, even as it embraces the art, history, and natural beauty of New York. Founded in 1838 and now a National Historic Landmark, Green-Wood was one of the first rural cemeteries in America. By the early 1860s, it had earned an international reputation for its beauty, attracting 500,000 visitors a year. The New York City treasure, newly photographed, is revealed as garden in the city, repository for memory, and a place for repose, inspiration, and delight. Its popularity helped inspire the creation of public parks, including Central and Prospect parks. Green-Wood’s notable graves include Leonard Bernstein and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Andrew Garn is a native New Yorker, photographer and writer of 12 books.

Book Discussion | The Nature-Study Idea and Related Writings by Liberty Hyde Bailey


The urgency to halt the progression of climate change requires much more than the implementation of scientific knowledge—it requires a revolution across the fields of education, culture, and the arts. In The Nature-Study Idea, Liberty Hyde Bailey articulated a similar need to reimagine education in light of socio-ecological crises at the dawn of the twentieth century. This panel discussion will explore what Bailey's insights mean for us 120 years later as we mark the publication of the first modern, authoritative edition of the classic text and the launch of The Liberty Hyde Bailey Library from Cornell University Press. Panelists will include: Patricia Crain, Professor of English Emerita at New York University and author of Reading Children: Literacy, Property and the Dilemmas of Childhood in Nineteenth-Century America John Linstrom, editor of The Nature-Study Idea and Related Writings, Series Editor of The Liberty Hyde Bailey Library, and Mellon Fellow in Climate Humanities and Social Justice at the Climate Museum David W. Orr, author of the book’s foreword, Paul Sears Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics Emeritus at Oberlin College, and editor of Democracy in a Hotter Time: Climate Change and Democratic Transformation Lara Saguisag, Associate Professor of Teaching and Learning and the inaugural Georgiou Chair in Children’s Literature and Literacy at New York University, and author of the award-winning children’s book Children of Two Seasons: Poems for Young People

Discussion | Tapping into the Neurobiology of Speech and Dance


Speaking and dancing are perhaps the most ancient forms of human social communication. Dr. Erich Jarvis and Dr. Constantina Theofanopoulou, drawing insights from their research in human and non-human species, will provide a fascinating look into the genes-to-neurons choreography that enable us and other species to speak, sing and dance. They will also discuss speech and movement disorders that stem from disruptions in these neural pathways, as well as the therapeutic role that dance can play in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and autism. Participant Bios: Dr. Constantina Theofanopoulou is the Herbert and Neil Singer Research Assistant Professor at Rockefeller University, the Director of the Neurobiology of Social Communication Lab, and a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU. Dr. Erich Jarvis is the head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics of Language and professor at The Rockefeller University. He is also a scientific investigator with Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Discussion | Artist Talk: Process and Intent


An evening discussing artistic process and intent. Robert McCurdy paints meticulously realistic portraits of famous subjects, including President Barak Obama’s official White House portrait. McCurdy’s practice is conceptual, even minimalist. McCurdy writes, “I look for a sustainable moment…It is why there is no movement, no expression or gesture… The image is reported rather than interpreted.” McCurdy studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and received a fellowship from Yale University. He currently resides in New York City. D. Dodge Thompson, Chief of Exhibitions and Executive Curator at the National Gallery of Art from 1980–2022, will interview McCurdy.

Discussion | Autumn of Patriarchs: On The Godfather and The Leopard


From a moral standing, a violent and feared mafia boss like Don Vito Corleone couldn't be more different than an aristocrat like Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina, a man so beloved for his integrity. Yet, many analogies exist between these two characters, mostly stemming for their common Sicilian origins and their cult of family and tradition. The Godfather tells of the attempt by Don Vito - and later by his son Michael - to acquire respectability through the criminal use of power; in The Leopard, Don Fabrizio - and his nephew Tancredi - have the choice of changing everything in order to keep things exactly as they are. These two extraordinary films, both drawn from works of literature, made history for their dialogues and unforgettable sequences featuring dance scenes, betrayals, seductions, threats, love scenes, murders, and a relationship to politics distinguished by fraud, corruption, and disillusionment. But above all else, The Godfather and The Leopard consecrate two patriarchs during the autumn of their lives, while the world around them is changing quickly. With NYU's Antonio Monda and Stefano Albertini

Discussion | How Immigration Has Shaped America (online)


Our current immigration system traces its roots back nearly 60 years to the Hart-Celler Act of 1965. Legislators designed this law to remove to the restrictions of the 1924 National Origins Act, and to change how ideas about race informed the immigration system. Authored by some of the same politicians who protested the 1924 law, the Hart Cellar Act focused on family reunification, skill-based visas, and equal visa quotas for every country. This Act also removed the last remnants of the Chinese Exclusion Act from nearly 80 years prior. This event will explore how these details shape America and Americans today. Dr. Mae Ngai, Professor of History and Asian American Studies at Columbia University, will be joined in conversation by Margaret Chin, sociologist and author of Sewing Women: Immigrants and the New York City Garment Industry, and Nancy Foner, author of One Quarter of the Nation: Immigration and the Transformation of America.
