Tour | Tour of Gracie Mansion, Home of New York's Mayors


In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home would be serving as the official residence of the First Family of New York City - a place where history is made, not merely recorded. As a historic house museum run by the Parks Department, sitting on 11 acres of grounds now known as Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 11 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Start times: 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm

Book Discussion | Yiddish Literature Under Surveillance: The Case of Soviet Ukraine (online)


This book gives a broad view on Soviet Jewish literary life, and on the repression suffered by Yiddish writers under Stalinist rule. It moves from the paradigm of writing almost exclusively about the most prominent authors, whose execution in Moscow on August 12, 1952 is tragically known as "The Night of Murdered Poets." Instead, the narrative is built as a group biography of five writers whose literary home was in Kyiv, the capital of Soviet Ukraine from 1934 to 1991. Those authors are as follows: Avrom Abchuk (arrested and executed in 1937), Chaim Gildin (arrested in 1940; died in a camp in 1943), Itsik Kipnis (arrested in 1949; released in 1955), Rive Balyasne (arrested in 1952; released in 1955), and Hirsh Bloshteyn, an enthusiastic agent of the secret police. In addition, this book is populated by other Yiddish, Ukrainian, and Russian literati. Kyiv was the primary fountainhead for Yiddish literary creativity in the early postrevolutionary period for seven decades and remained a leading Soviet Yiddish literary center, second in importance only to Moscow. Author Gennady Estraikh pays special attention to the victims’ rehabilitation, posthumous or otherwise, in the mid-1950s and onwards.

Discussion | The Pleasure Lists


What's in a list? What do the lists we make say about ourselves? Inspired by a poem from playwright Bertolt Brecht, The Pleasure Lists began with a simple post online — a prompt calling for people to catalogue their pleasures. The outpouring of entries, an unexpected response to a humble exercise, led to The Pleasure Lists. Meant to be fun, delightful, and pleasureful, it is a reflection on the things that bring you joy. In the first-ever live gathering of The Pleasure Lists community, this is a workshop where you will have the opportunity to write your own Pleasure List and connect with other pleasure-seekers. The evening will begin with writing your own lists, followed by readings from Pleasure Lists founder Dalya Benor, friends Emmeline Clein, Camille Sojit Pejcha, Whitney Mallett, Rachel Syme, and more guests to be announced. The Pleasure Lists is a space for reflection, a reminder of the things that bring us joy. It’s as public or as personal as you want; as artistic or straightforward as calls you. The pure simplicity and banality of Bertolt Brecht’s poem shows us what we know to be true about pleasure: that it truly is in the eye of the beholder. Each list is as unique as its author, telling us more about the writer than the list itself. From the material to the mundane, the tactile to the intangible, the things that bring us pleasure speak volumes about what we value.

Screening | Inside Out 2: Screening and Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) in Conversation with MTV Host


Join award-winning actress Maya Hawke for a special screening of her recent Disney and Pixar hit Inside Out 2, followed by a conversation with MTV's Josh Horowitz. An instant classic in the Pixar canon, Inside Out followed a team of Emotions -- Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust -- as they operated in the mind of a young girl named Riley. Now, in Inside Out 2, Riley is becoming a teenager, and a new Emotion is on the scene: Anxiety (voiced with warmth and wit by Maya Hawke), threatening the equilibrium of Riley's newly formed sense of self. Wise, imaginative, funny, and full of profound emotional intelligence, Inside Out 2 is a hit with audiences and critics alike. Let's face it: we live in anxious times. Who better to help us through it than an evening with the voice of Anxiety herself? Following a special screening, and in a special live recording of Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, hear Hawke on the making of the film -- how she approached her character's voice, the role of anxiety in our culture and the formation of our identities, the pleasures and challenges of acting in an animated film, stories from the set, and more.
