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.

Lecture | Publishing and the Arab Diaspora (online)
Fehras Publishing Practices’s Sami Rustom and Kenan Darwich share their research into the history and presence of publishing and its entanglement in the sociopolitical and cultural sphere in the Eastern Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Arab diaspora. Engaging different methods and ways of production, the collective focuses on the relationship between publishing and art historiography. Their practice is concerned with the role of translation as a tool facing cultural domination in its traditional and modern forms, as well as a tool for creating solidarity and deconstructing colonial power. The collective’s investigations and queer interventions into narratives take place at public libraries, book markets, and in private and institutional collections.

Lecture | Do They Know (When) It's Christmas? Changing Calendars in Ukraine and Contemporary Geopolitics of Christian Orthodoxy (in-person and online)
Over the past year, changing the date of celebration of Christmas in Ukraine to align it with both Western Christianity and the Eastern Orthodox churches associated with the Patriarchate of Constantinople, has taken the symbolic importance of the dissociation in religious matters from Russia, a process with a specific historicity. The fact that realignments within the Christian Orthodox realm have traditionally expressed themselves through questions of controlling time is not new. In 1922-1923, the adoption of the "reformed calendar" by a certain number of Orthodox churches led to a round of divisions. This may sound as just another episode in a long-lasting series of "byzantine" theological quarrels. It is far from being that. The "calendar" reform was just one of a series of highly political reforms that a group of Greek-Orthodox reformers had been advocating on the eve of WWI and which were projected in the limelight during the acceleration of time (in R. Koselleck's terms) provoked by the War. It consisted in envisioning a new, imperial, but post-ottoman and post-Russian, configuration for the Eastern Orthodox churches with a two-fold goal: preserve the primacy of the Greek-orthodox despite the emergence of national churches and adapt it to the new geopolitical developments of the Age of Empires. The network of these reformers rotating around an Athens-Constantinople (Istanbul) axis and active from Alexandria to Tbilissi, and from Jerusalem to Bitola, but also in the USA, had a narrow window of opportunity in the aftermath of the Russian revolution and the end of WWI. The calendar question of 1922-1923 finally encapsulated in a nutshell the conflicts and resistances around this project. But though it was finally not fully realized, it has left its indelible mark, and one can even say its blueprint, in the way religion is politicized in Europe's orthodox borderlands, whenever time accelerates, whether that be 1947, 1991 or even 2023... Speaker ?assos Anastassiadis is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at McGill University and Papachristidis Chair in Modern Greek and Greek-Canadian Studies, working on the interplay between transimperial individual mobilities and institutional reforms in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 19th and 20th c. with a focus on the domains of religion/confessionalization, education and state formation.

Discussion | Documenting Indigenous Struggle in the Shadow of a Mushroom Cloud
A dialogue with acclaimed Indian activist filmmaker Shri Prakash. For close to three decades, Indian documentary filmmaker Shri Prakash has focused his lens on uranium mining's impacts on Indigenous communities in Asia, Africa, and North America, as well as the grassroots struggles these impacts have instigated. His latest film, 'Two Indians,' takes him back to the American Southwest, where he is currently reconnecting with many of the academics, activists, and community leaders he interviewed for his previous film on uranium mining in the region 'Nabikei.' The film will also reflect on Shri's own positionality as an Indian seeking solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island / North America. This is an in-depth conversation about the challenges of filming Indigenous struggles against nuclear extractivism around the world. This is a unique opportunity for students and scholars passionate about environmental justice and/or fascinated by cinematic storytelling to connect with someone who has been working at the intersection of both for many years. Prakash will present his unedited footage from New Mexico to facilitate a dialogue about the responsibilities that non-Indigenous persons have to fulfill when conveying Indigenous stories, as well as documentary film-making's potential for solidarity-building in an age of crisis.

Lecture | Can Our Understanding of Climate Keep Up With Observed Changes?
Climate change is increasingly apparent to the general public through increasing heat waves, intense rainfall, flooding events, and sea level rise. However, while there have been great increases in climate model skill in the last decade across a swathe of important areas, there are still persistent biases and common assumptions that limit their utility at local or regional scales despite the growing demand for such information. This talk discusses the paths forward to increase climate model utility and the observational gaps and theoretical limits that will modulate any future progress, and considers whether observations may be outpacing the predictions. Speaker Gavin Schmidt is the author of Climate Change: Picturing the Science.

Book Discussion | The Jews of Summer: Summer Camp and Jewish Culture in Postwar America
In the decades directly following the Holocaust, American Jewish leaders debated how to preserve and produce Jewish culture, fearful that growing affluence and suburbanization threatened the future of Jewish life. Many communal educators and rabbis pinned their hopes on residential summer camps for Jewish youth: institutions that sprang up across the U.S. as places for children and teenagers to socialize, recreate, and experience Jewish culture. Camp life was shaped both by adults' fears, hopes, and dreams about the Jewish future as well as children and teenagers own desires and interests. Focusing on the lived experience of campers and camp counselors, Sandra Fox's new book explores how a cultural crisis birthed a rite of passage that remains a significant influence in American Jewish life.

Book Discussion | Art Monsters: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art
What kind of art does a monster make? And what if monster is a verb? Noun or a verb, the idea is a dare: to overwhelm limits, to invent our own definitions of beauty. In this dazzlingly original reassessment of women’s stories, bodies, and art, Lauren Elkin—the celebrated author of Flâneuse—explores the ways in which feminist artists have taken up the challenge of their work and how they not only react against the patriarchy but redefine their own aesthetic aims. How do we tell the truth about our experiences as bodies? What is the language, what are the materials, that we need to transcribe them? And what are the unique questions facing those engaged with female bodies, queer bodies, sick bodies, racialized bodies? Encompassing with a rich genealogy of work across the literary and artistic landscape, Elkin makes daring links between disparate points of reference— among them Julia Margaret Cameron’s photography, Kara Walker’s silhouettes, Vanessa Bell’s portraits, Eva Hesse’s rope sculptures, Carolee Schneemann’s body art, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s trilingual masterpiece DICTEE—and steps into the tradition of cultural criticism established by Susan Sontag, Hélène Cixous, and Maggie Nelson.

Classical Music | Frescobaldi and the South: Harpsichord Works
In 1594 Carlo Gesualdo, Prince of Venosa, arrived in Ferrara for his marriage to Donna Eleonora d'Este. His meeting with the musical circles of Ferrara, and in particular with Luzzasco Luzzaschi, was to make an important impact on the musical development of the young Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643). In his maturity Frescobaldi arrived at a deeply personal fusion between the musical forms of North Italian (and more specifically Venetian) derivation and the musical experimentation of the southern school. On the album Frescobaldi and the South, harpsichordist Francesco Corti explores the reciprocal influences between the great keyboard master from Ferrara and his colleagues from the Kingdom of Naples. This fertile musical exchange, which culminated in the profoundly distinctive innovations of Frescobaldi himself, fully exemplifies the spirit of experimentation and musical innovation typical of the early seventeenth century, a period that, like few others, sought out and celebrated aesthetic renewal. Program: Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643): Toccata Prima (Libro Primo, 1615) Giovanni de Macque (c 1550 - 1614): Consonanze Stravaganti Gagliarda Seconda Capriccio sopra re fa mi sol Gagliarda Prima Rocco Rodio (c 1530 - c 1620): Ricercata Terza (Libro di Ricercate, 1625) Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643): Toccata X (Libro Primo, 1615) Scipione Stella (1558-1622): Partite sopra la Romanesca Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643): Capriccio sopra la Battaglia, Balletto e Ciaccona (Libro Primo, Aggiunta, 1637) Michelangelo Rossi (c 1602 - 1656): Toccata Prima (Toccate e corenti, c. 1634) Bernardo Storace (XVII sec): Ciaccona (Selva di Varie Composizioni, 1664) Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643): Capriccio durezze (Primo libro di Capricci, 1624) Gagliarda Quinta (Secondo Libro, 1627): Cento Partite sopra Passacagli (Libro Primo, Aggiunta, 1637)

Talk | Artist Talk: Myths of Identity

She performs her work across mediums to explore hierarchies and conventions with particular reference to “myths” of language, sexuality, market and marginalization. Braiding grotesque fiction, personal ephemera and piercing humor to obscure societal codes, the by-products of her conceptual practice take the forms of drawings, poems, performances, videos, glitches and instructional interventions.

Lecture | The Abundant In Between Time
Drawing upon Maya Angelou’s memoirs, The Heart of a Woman (1981) and All God’s Children Need Traveling Shoes (1986), this lecture identifies a few of her friends, singer, composer, Abbey Lincoln, novelist, Paule Marshall and art historian, ethnographer, Sylvia Ardyn Boone, major artists and intellectuals in their own right, who help us flesh out an understudied period in African American (particularly Black Women’s) intellectual and cultural history. From the late fifties and early sixties this group of Black women came to call New York home and like those before them began to create identities and a body of work shaped by their political and aesthetic sensibilities. More Pan-Africanist than Diasporic, not yet and possibly never, Black feminist, they nonetheless saw themselves as modern, global black women still bound by, but in search of new understandings of gender and sexuality. By the end of the period under consideration in the early 1970s, each of them would find themselves outside of the United States, in Black majority countries, creating works that are deserving of our continued attention and appreciation. Speaker Farah Jasmine Griffin is the William B. Ransford Professor of English and Comparative Literature and African American and African Diaspora Studies.
