Book Discussion | The Red Decades: Communism as Movement and Culture in Korea, 1919–1945 (in-person and online)
Vladimir Tikhonov’s recent book deals with the process through which Marxian socialism was domesticated and applied in different realms of society, thought and culture in colonial-age Korea. Seen as the alternative modernity, the way out from both premodern backwardness and modern predicaments, Marxian socialism gave life to a distinctively Korean brand of Marxist thought which focused its critique on such reified concepts as “nation” or “national culture.” It enabled Korean intellectuals to criticise contemporary far-right totalitarianism in Europe and search for ways of gender liberation by empowering women and emphasizing their agency. It was predicated on a vision of an interconnected globe, a spatio-temporality in which concurrent developments in Soviet Union or Chinese revolution were just as important as what was happening domestically, or inside the Japanese Imperial borders. As Vladimir Tikhonov argues, while these alternative modernist visions were never fully realized, their impact on both post-colonial Korean states was in many ways decisive.

Book Discussion | Righteous Sisterhood: The Politics and Power of an All-Women’s Motorcycle Club
A righteous sister identifies herself as a biker. She might wrench, or maintain, her own bike, and she prefers to ride with other righteous sisters. Righteous Sisterhood is Sarah Hoiland’s insightful ethnography about an all-women motorcycle club (MC). She recounts stories of women bikers for whom riding in an MC is “an act of rebellion” and “liberating” even as it constrains—a reactionary populist version of the American Dream dipped in “girl power.”

Talk | Artist Talk: Chloe Desaulles
A talk with Chloé Desaulles, a New York City-based, Alsatian-raised creative director, researcher and new media artist. Her practice specializes in storytelling innovation, research and development, and interactive design for emerging technologies. Artistically, Desaulles’s practice focuses on using new tools to tell old stories about people, habits and environments. Pursuing documentary capture via tinkering, dissecting and reassembling, she is interested in constructing frameworks where computation elevates analog processes, exploring the digitization of heritage, natural environments and the concept of home. Her work has been shown in festivals nationwide, such as the NYC Independent Film Festival, or the Academy-Award eligible Raw Science Film Festival.

Film | The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Starring James Stewart and Doris Day
Dr. Ben McKenna is on vacation with his wife and son in Morocco when a chance encounter with a stranger turns their trip, and their lives, on a completely different course. A stranger is killed in front of the family in the marketplace, and reveals an assassination plot to the Americans. The couple's son is abducted in order to ensure the plot is kept secret, and suddenly the mother and father, with no help from the police, must figure out a way to get their child back. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: James Stewart, Doris Day Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense," he became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations. James Stewart was an American actor known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona. Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality, which he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors. He received numerous honors including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985. Doris Day was one of the biggest Hollywood film stars of the 1950s-1960s. She starred in films of many genres, including musicals, comedies, dramas, and thrillers. Her best-known films are those in which she co-starred with Rock Hudson, chief among them 1959's Pillow Talk, for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Film | Tree of Violence (2024): Exposing Truths about Putin
A conversation with Victoria Lomasko, author of The Last Soviet Artist, and a screening of the documentary Tree of Violence, which features her work and career. The Last Soviet Artist is a collection of graphic reportages by Victoria Lomasko, published by N+1. The book was created during trips across the former Soviet republics. The first part describes society in Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia and the North Caucasus: gender rights, grassroots initiatives, fragments of the Soviet heritage and new trends. The book’s second part focuses on the Belarusian Revolution of 2020-2021, and the last major protests in Russia on the eve of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine: what happens to the lives of ordinary people in times of historical change. The third part was written already in exile. All three parts are united by the main subject: generational conflict in the post-Soviet space. The book won the 2022 Free Voice award from PEN Catalan and Prix Couilles au Cul pour le Courage Artistique, Festival de BD d’Angoulême. Tree of Violence (2024 | 81 min), a documentary by Anna Moiseenko, portrays the internationally recognized graphic journalist Victoria (Vika) Lomasko as she exposes truths about Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Her ambitious new work on the long reach of state-sponsored violence—from domestic violence to the crackdown on free speech—is timely. As Putin wages a war against Ukraine and brands dissidents as "traitors, to spit out like flies," Vika faces increasing safety threats and must decide if a future in Russia is possible.
