Book Discussion | Inkface: Othello and White Authority in the Era of Atlantic Slavery
Author Miles P. Grier traces productions of Shakespeare's Othello from seventeenth-century London to the Metropolitan Opera in twenty-first-century New York. Grier shows how the painted stage Moor and the wife whom he theatrically stains became necessary types, reduced to objects of interpretation for a presumed white male audience. In an era of booming print production, popular urban theater, and increasing rates of literacy, the metaphor of Black skin as a readable, transferable ink became essential to a fraternity of literate white men who, by treating an elastic category of marked people as reading material, were able to assert authority over interpretation and, by extension, over the state, the family, and commerce. Inkface examines that fraternity’s reading of the world as well as the ways in which those excluded attempted to counteract it.

Opening Reception | Austin Eddy: Longing for the Light, Love Letters from the Gloaming
Austin Eddy’s new monoprints is a love letter to the end of day; a time that signals a pause on work, the unfilled space on a schedule before settling into evening rituals and slumber. The quiet palette, subject matter, and the symbolism he discovered in the process of papermaking each contribute to the impression of stillness in these unique works that inspires internal reflection. The base of Eddy’s series are multi-process paper pulp paintings, many augmented with hand-drawn elements and collage. While experimenting with this medium he discovered that it recorded time in a more visual way than in his own studio drawing and painting practice. Once the layers of paper pulp dry and are passed through the press, they flatten into one image and the history of the mark making is compressed onto a single plane and essentially erased. The visual silence induces a state of harmony, as though they were never made but have always existed.

Talk | The History of the Pocket
Dr. Hannah Carlson will discuss the surprising and riveting 500-year-old history of those subtle slits by our side. Ever wonder why men’s clothes have so many pockets and women’s so few? Why are women so quick to jump for joy when their dress has pockets? It’s a subject that ignites immediate passion, as women have been deprived of pockets for centuries, while their well-pocketed male counterparts seem unconscious of their built-in good fortune. Dr. Hannah Carlson, author of Pockets: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close, will discuss the surprising and riveting 500-year-old history of those subtle slits by our side. She will reveal how we tuck gender politics, security, sexuality, and privilege inside our pockets—and why it matters. Hannah Carlson teaches dress history and material culture at the Rhode Island School of Design. Stylish pocket fashion is highly encouraged!

Opera | Here Be Sirens: A "Hilarious, Furiously Inventive" Opera
"...an erudite, hilarious, furiously inventive meditation on the siren myth." - The New Yorker "...inspired and strangely powerful...no one interested in smudging the boundaries of contemporary opera and theater should miss it." -The New York Times HERE BE SIRENS presents the daily life of three sirens, who kill time on their island as they await an endless procession of doomed sailors. Peitho revels in the luxurious sensuality of their rite; Phaino stonily enacts the ritual with no inner feeling; and Polyxo longs for escape into the world of the real, delving into centuries of scholarship and research on her species in an attempt to untwist their circumstances. As the opera goes on, the sirens re-enact the abduction of Persephone, encounter (and battle) their favored sisters the Muses, and leave no rock unturned to plumb the depths of their own origins, in this work of "audacious, genre-bending music theatre" (Wall Street Journal). Music & Words by Kate Soper (Pulitzer Prize Finalist) Directed by Jen Pitt For three sopranos and a grand piano, with: Marieke de Koker, India Rowland, Brooke Jones
