Discussion | Israel on Our Minds with Ambassador Ido Aharoni (in-person and online)
Even those of us who follow the news from Israeli regularly are left with more questions than insight: How should we think about Israel security in the face of a rapidly changing Middle East? What is the government doing in response to the worldwide condemnation of the Jewish State . . . and what could it do? Has the Start-Up Nation sputtered out? Can the breach between the religious and the secular populations be healed -- and how? Does the Israeli government take the concerns and opinions of the Jewish diaspora seriously enough? Should it? With so many questions -- and so much confusion -- they have recruited the ideal person to pull back the curtain on the complicated situation: an Israel diplomat, university professor, writer and investor, Ido Aharoni.

Book Discussion | Zero Sum: The Arc of International Business in Russia
When the hammer and sickle came down in late 1991, Russia’s feverish new market opened for business. From banking to breweries, sectors emerged out of nowhere, in a country that had never had a functioning economy. For the next three turbulent decades, a wild, proto-capitalist free-for-all transformed Russian society. Then, in 2022, Putin launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The market started to collapse; Western firms fled Moscow’s skyscrapers. No country this large had ever transformed itself as dizzyingly as 1990s Russia–now, just as dramatically, it was over. The intervening decades had seen phenomenal successes and crushing failures; the creation and destruction of enormous fortunes. How did it all happen? Charles Hecker's book brings to life the complex, vivid color of one of the greatest experiments in the history of global commerce. What have businesses learnt–or failed to learn–from this adventure, both about Russia and about dynamics between countries and companies in the face of relentless change?

Gallery Talk | Dreaming of Home: Exhibition Talk on Belonging, Community, and Identity (online)
Brooke Wyatt and Gemma Rolls-Bentley explore the museum’s collection through the prism of belonging, community, and identity. The American Folk Art Museum's collection features many artists who have experienced disenfranchisement and faced brutal social and economic restrictions. Their artworks often complicate conventional representations of domesticity and protection, even as they materialize a sense of belonging and hold onto the “dream of home.” Curator Brooke Wyatt invites curator and writer Gemma Rolls-Bentley to present the curatorial framework behind Dreaming of Home, recently on view at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York. This project explores the idea of home beyond its physical space, considering the roles of community, family, spirituality, and the body in creating a safe and comfortable place. Through the works of twenty contemporary queer artists, Rolls-Bentley suggests that building a home is sometimes a hard-won process that requires faith, creativity, and imagination. Speakers will reflect on themes of self-care, queerness, artistic identity, and world-building, and will engage with artists featured in Somewhere to Roost, including works by Lee Godie, Thornton Dial, Sr., and a selection of hand-tinted vernacular photographs.

Lecture | A Trip into the Archive: The Case of Otto Schneid (online)
YIVO’s Museum of Jewish Art, Judaica, and Art History was initiated in the mid-1930s at YIVO’s Vilna headquarters. Those involved included the well-known artist Marc Chagall and the Austrian-Jewish art historian Otto Schneid. Before Schneid was tapped to spearhead this museum, he had dedicated years of his life to creating a kind of encyclopedia of contemporary Jewish artists, many of them contributors to L’Ecole de Paris and satellites of this avant-garde art movement in cities across Europe. Beginning in 1929, Schneid travelled to view the artwork of over one hundred a hundred Jewish artists such as Chana Orloff, Alfred Reth, Oscar Miestchaninoff, and Henryk Streng. He also corresponded with them by letter, and the artists sent him photographs of their work along with their biographies. Schneid submitted the manuscript of his encyclopedia to his publisher in 1937. Following the Anschluss of March 1938, the Nazis raided the publishing house and destroyed the manuscript. Schneid escaped Europe with the letters and photographs he had gathered with the hope of recreating the book. Based on her archival work at YIVO and at the University of Toronto’s Fisher Library, Alyssa Quint discusses the lives of Schneid and his artists and uses the case of Schneid to reflect on the allure of and impediments to archival research.

Book Discussion | Art in Ukraine Between Identity Construction and Anti-Colonial Resistance (in-person and online)
Editor Svitlana Biedarieva's volume traces the development of art practices in Ukraine from the 2004 Orange Revolution, through the 2013-2014 Revolution of Dignity, to the ongoing Russian war of aggression. Contributors explore how transformations of identity, the emergence of participatory democracy, relevant changes to cultural institutions, and the realization of the necessity of decolonial release have influenced the focus and themes of contemporary art practices in Ukraine. The chapters analyze such important topics as the postcolonial retrieval of the past, the deconstruction of post-Soviet visualities, representations of violence and atrocities in the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine, and the notion of art as a mechanism of civic resistance and identity-building. The book will be of interest to scholars of art history, Eastern European studies, cultural studies, decolonial studies, and postcolonial studies.

Book Discussion | Heroines, Harpies, and Housewives: Imaging Women of Consequence in the Dutch Golden Age (online)
Author Martha Moffitt Peacock provides a novel interpretive approach to the artistic practice of Imaging Women of Consequence in the Dutch Golden Age. From the beginnings of the new Republic, visual celebrations of famous heroines who crossed gender boundaries by fighting in the Revolt against Spain or by distinguishing themselves in arts and letters became an essential and significant cultural tradition that reverberated throughout the long seventeenth century. This collective memory of consequential heroines who equaled, or outshone, men is frequently reflected in empowering representations of other female archetypes: authoritative harpies and noble housewives. Such enabling imagery helped in the structuring of gender norms that positively advanced a powerful female identity in Dutch society.

Opening Reception | Rupert Deese: Rivers and Streams
“The painted forms in the exhibition precisely transfer the shapes of Sierra Nevada cirques and their adjacent headwaters into scaled-down versions of the landscape— essentially creating a bird's-eye view of the mountain and river shapes. I am looking to make work that does not conceptualize these aspects of the Sierra Nevada but rather stands by in the room as an articulate and pleasant presence. With these works, the colors, shapes, and lines confirm the pleasure and awareness of being in a beautiful setting.” -- Rupert Deese

Classical Music | In Nomine Ensemble: Elegance & Wildness (in-person and online)
In Elegance & Wildness, In Nomine Ensemble explores the musical intersections where Georg Philipp Telemann’s works engage with the refined elegance of French Baroque style and the spirited, untamed energy of Eastern Europe.

Following the Nouveaux quatuors, selected pieces from the Uhrovska Collection (1730) will be heard, alongside his Trio Sonata in D minor, which reveals his fascination with Eastern European folk traditions. In Nomine Ensemble is an NYC-based early music ensemble. In Nomine, which translates from Latin to “in the name of,” explores familiar and lesser-known Renaissance and Baroque works with an attitude of play and curiosity. They challenge the traditional Baroque trio sonata with their unique instrumentation and backgrounds while performing on historically accurate instruments and styles. In Nomine Ensemble has received support from The Juilliard School, Gotham Early Music Scene, and Silentwoods Collective. They are also featured artists with Sacred Music at Columbia University, The Bohemians Musician Club NYC, Off the Dock Chamber Festival.

Lecture | Skulls, Sculptures and the Kaiser’s Museums
What can museums tell us about a nation’s self-image? How does Germany approach its colonial past in light of the Holocaust? Berlin’s national museums have become the focus of current debates around repatriation and colonial collections – most visibly those now housed inside the contested Humboldt Forum. But the Humboldt Forum is just the beginning.This talk moves beyond the ethnological collections inside the resurrected Prussian castle in the center of Berlin. It ties recent discussions to other, hitherto neglected sites, such as the seemingly unproblematic antiquity collections from the former Ottoman Empire on Berlin’s Museum Island, and collections of human remains from ‘German East Africa' held in the storage facilities on the city’s periphery. How were all these collections entangled not only with each other but also with global networks of trade, material extraction and exploitative labour? In the late nineteenth century, these collections were furthermore exploited to consolidate triumphalist narratives of 'Western civilization' and human history – not least by providing the raw materials for a new form of ‘scientific’ antisemitism and racism that developed around 1900 onwards: with fatal consequences in the twentieth century. In spite of these problematic legacies, however, Berlin’s urban center still reflects an imperial mindset in the wake of an affirmative monumentalization of the Wilhelmine era. This tells us as much about race and memory politics in Germany today. Following the lecture, Mirjam Brusius will be joined in conversation by Professor Avinoam Shalem, Riggio Professor of the History of the Arts of Islam. A reception will conclude the evening.

Vogel’s play is a wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival, a sexual coming of age through the 60s, 70s and 80s as seen through the provocative lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man. Registration required.

Play | The Juniors: A Pitch Black Comedy
In Noah Diaz's play, a class of high school juniors are tasked with a simple Home Ec assignment: parent a sack of flour for a week or fail. When the flour babies begin dying one by one, the students stop at nothing to ensure that they, and the pretend children they bore, are the last ones standing. A play with war, carnage, and genocide, The Juniors is a pitch black comedy about the ambitious and cut-throat world of high school Home Economics and the lengths we'll go to in order to protect what we think is ours.
