Lecture | "There is something mad about the art”: The German-Jewish Art Dealer Alfred Flechtheim and His Heirs’ Fight for Restitution (online)
Journalist Michael Sontheimer will speak about Alfred Flechtheim, who was born in 1878 in Münster as the son of a wealthy German Jewish grain dealer. He was trained as a trader but did not want to stay in the family business. As he was fascinated with art, he left his hometown and moved to Düsseldorf, where he opened a gallery in 1913. After serving in the German Army during the First World War, in 1921 he opened a second gallery in Berlin, the place to be in the 1920s. He brought works from modern French artists like Picasso, Braque, Chagall, and others to Germany. He also made German painters like Max Beckmann, George Grosz, and Paul Klee widely known.

Slide Lecture | Anna Hallprin who Redefined Dance in Postwar America: With Dance Historian (in-person and online)
Interdisciplinary scholar, Janice Ross, explores the connection between dance and cultural politics, examines how homes and landscape architecture shaped choreography through the work of California dancer Anna Halprin (1920-2021). Halprin played a key role in redefining dance in postwar America, pioneering the experimental art form of postmodern dance, and proudly saw herself as a rule-breaker of modern dance. Drawing on decades of research, interviews with the Halprins and their associates, and firsthand experiences in their homes, Ross provides a fresh perspective on Halprin’s career, enriched by archival films of her workshops, rehearsals, and outdoor studio, the dance deck.

Book Discussion | Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy
A uniquely broad and fair-minded guide to making immigration policy ethical. Immigration is now a polarizing issue across most advanced democracies. But too much that is written about immigration fails to appreciate the complex responses to the phenomenon. Too many observers assume imaginary consensus, avoid basic questions, or disregard the larger context for human migration. Author Hiroshi Motomura offers a complex and fair-minded account of immigration, its root causes, and the varying responses to it. Taking stock of the issue's complexity, while giving credence to the opinions of immigration critics, he tackles a series of important questions that, when answered, will move us closer to a more realistic and sustainable immigration policy.

Discussion | On the Italian Stage: Solo Shows (online)
On the Italian Stage is a series of encounters conceived and led by Laura Caparrotti (Artistic Director, Kairos Italy Theater) that journeys into the history of Italian theater to explore its language, and its contribution to Italian society and world theater. Solo shows are increasingly becoming a cornerstone of Italian theater. Their affordability, ease of production, and flexibility for touring make them a practical choice for many artists and companies. Despite their simplicity, these performances are highly impactful, often delivering powerful narratives with minimal resources. In fact, solo shows may currently represent the heart of the Italian theatrical landscape, offering a genuine reflection of both the audience’s interests and the artists’ passions. They provide an intimate platform for storytelling, giving voice to personal, social, and cultural themes that resonate deeply in today’s Italy.

Book Discussion | Bruno Schulz and Galician Jewish Modernity: A Writer at a Historical Juncture
Author Karen Underhill discusses her book. In the 1930s, through the prose of Bruno Schulz (1892–1942), the Polish language became the linguistic raw material for a profound exploration of the modern Jewish experience. Rather than turning away from the language like a number of his Galician Jewish colleagues who would choose to write in Yiddish, Schulz used the Polish language to explore his own and his generation's relationship to East European Jewish exegetical tradition, and to deepen his reflection on golus or exile as a condition not only of the individual and of the Jewish community, but of language itself, and of matter. Drawing on new archival discoveries, this study explores Schulz's diasporic Jewish modernism as an example of the creative and also transient poetic forms that emerged on formerly Habsburg territory, at the historical juncture between empire and nation-state.

Lecture | Belonging with Songs: Towards an Historical Anthropology of Medieval French Chansons
Why do we sing? How does singing shape how we see ourselves and how we relate to one another? Emma Dillon takes up these universal questions in the context of a medieval song community. Her talk explores Medieval French songs (trouvere songs) as a social practice, linked to specific people and families from Northern France and to other forms of social activity. She offers a case study of twelfth-century trouveres (using new recordings of their songs), and shows how songs, charters and seals foster a sense of belonging to a community. Her talk also introduces the UKRI-funded project, Musical Lives, which takes further the possibility of song-centred histories through interdisciplinary collaboration with scholars and performers.

Book Discussion | My Friends: Coming of Age in the Arab Spring
One evening, as a young boy growing up in Benghazi, Khaled hears a bizarre short story read aloud on the radio, about a man being eaten alive by a cat, and has the sense that his life has been changed forever. Obsessed by the power of those words—and by their enigmatic author, Hosam Zowa—Khaled eventually embarks on a journey that will take him far from home, to pursue a life of the mind at the University of Edinburgh. There, thrust into an open society that is miles away from the world he knew in Libya, Khaled begins to change. He attends a protest against the Qaddafi regime in London, only to watch it explode into tragedy. In a flash, Khaled finds himself injured, clinging to life, unable to leave Britain, much less return to the country of his birth. To even tell his mother and father back home what he has done, on tapped phone lines, would expose them to danger. When a chance encounter in a hotel brings Khaled face-to-face with Hosam Zowa, the author of the fateful short story, he is subsumed into the deepest friendship of his life. It is a friendship that not only sustains him but eventually forces him, as the Arab Spring erupts, to confront agonizing tensions between revolution and safety, family and exile, and how to define his own sense of self against those closest to him.

Classical Music | Dialogues in Time: Cello Works by Bach and More
A musical dialog that connects 300 years, with Austrian cellist and composer Matthias Bartolomey. Bartolomey brings a bold new solo program centered around the principle of duality. The performance features a blend of Johann Sebastian Bach's iconic Six Suites for Solo Cello and Bartolomey's own contemporary compositions, influenced by groove, rock, and modern rhythms. By drawing inspiration from Bach's timeless motifs and intricate baroque rhythms, Bartolomey creates a unique tonal language that intertwines with the traditional while never altering Bach's original works. His compositions serve as a reflection of today's world, offering a modern commentary on the centuries-old dance forms. A musical dialogue that spans over 300 years, Dialogues in Time captures the essence of both the past and the present, merging the classical with the contemporary. Known for his innovative and boundary-pushing approach, Bartolomey invites the audience into a deeply emotional and thought-provoking performance, where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony.
