Forum | Himalayan New York: Stories of Migration, Language, Belonging and Social Change
Over the past two decades, the presence of people from greater Himalayan region in New York City, particularly in the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn, has expanded exponentially, from several hundred people in the 1980s to thousands of individuals from specific ethnic communities today. As these new immigrants from Nepal, Bhutan, and North India, as well as diasporic Tibetans from India and culturally Tibetan regions in China, have settled into New York, their senses of identity have begun to transform. How are they finding a sense of community, navigating transnational and intergenerational cultural dynamics, and responding to the fluid relationship between ‘home’ and being ‘over here’ in New York? What does language have to do with this? This presentation will address these questions by describing Voices of the Himalaya, a collaborative research project that uses the medium of video interviews and short documentary film to explore the lived experiences of Himalayan New Yorkers. A panel discussion with: -- Nawang Tsering Gurung, Independent Researcher and Community Activist -- Dan Kaufman, Founder and Co-Director, Endangered Language Alliance; Assistant Professor of Linguistics, Queens College -- Kesang Tseten, Filmmaker, Shunyata Fillms -- Sienna Craig, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College

Workshop | The Artistic B&W Opportunities in Travel Photography
What is the appeal of black and white? With so much development and technology applied to color, why do some photographers decide to work with shades of gray? There has to be some strong reason for this decision. Could it be a desire to explore new styles, to express ourselves more artistically or the desire to inspire and challenge our audiences with a more dramatic way of looking at the world In this talk, Ossian Lindholm will tell you about situations that offer opportunities to view in shades of gray, in which situations the B&W reigns with respect to color, and why B&W photography adds a new motivation to capture new images during our outings.

Classical Music | Bach at Noon
The organ works of J.S. Bach (1685-1750) offered in 30-minute meditations. Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations as well as for vocal music such as the St. Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time. "The term 'baroque' has been widely used since the 19th century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750... Many famous composers from the first part of the baroque period came from Italy and have a link with Venice, including Claudio Monteverdi and Antonio Vivaldi. Monteverdi was born in Cremona, but moved to Venice where he was 'maestro di capella' at the San Marco basilica. Vivaldi was born in Venice and was one of the greatest baroque composers. It is thanks to these strong musical traditions of Venice that we have today's music. Without Venetian church music and Monteverdi's advances with polyphony, the great traditions of choral music in England, France, and Germany would never have developed. Without the operas written by Monteverdi, Cavalli and Vivaldi, not only would the later styles of opera never have been invented. There would be no basis for the American Musical or the German and Viennese Operetta, the Spanish Zarzuela, and even rock, pop, and contemporary music as we know it." The Venice Insider Bach at Noon concerts take place every Tuesdays through Fridays, from September 10, 2019 to May 20, 2020.

Author Reading | RIP GOP: How the New America Is Dooming the Republicans
In his new book, Stanley B. Greenberg argues that the 2016 election hurried the party's imminent demise. Using insights from his focus groups with real people and surprising revelations from his own polls, Greenberg shows why the GOP is losing its defining battle. He explores why the 2018 election, when the New America fought back, was no fluke. And he predicts that in 2020 the party of Lincoln will be left to the survivors, opening up America to a new era of renewal and progress.

Gallery Talk | Artist Talk: Irony, Madness, War
17 paintings in a group of 30 are devoted to the ironic, the manic abuse of high authority - the madness of war. They are not elegant landscapes, comforting still lifes, or ambiguous abstractions that can never speak as do these starkly realistic and visceral images that provoke and maybe even inspire. This solo exhibition is the work of legendary art director, Amil Gargano, who began the serious study of art at the age of 9 and continued through his post graduate education at the preeminent Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. That study began directly after his return from the Korean War, which became the catalyst for this exhibition.

Classical Music | FESTAC '77: A Fateful Trip Remembered
Craig Harris’ performance of FESTAC ’77 is part of Chimurenga’s three-day installation of its Pan African Space Station in New York, in collaboration with the Vera List Center at The New School. This project explores the legacy of African-America’s participation in FESTAC ’77. Artist Statement: "In January of 1977, I attended FESTAC, the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture in Lagos, Nigeria, as a member of the Sun Ra Arkestra. This trip informed me as to my place in the world as a musician and a person. It was deeply impactful to see and interact with people from the entire African Diaspora. The work is for a small chamber ensemble of 5 strings, 3 reeds, 2 brass, 4 percussions and voice, and is divided into 8 sections. It reflects my experience from and meditations on my trip and the significance of being a young African American on the continent for the first time, joining so many others from the diaspora, celebrating ourselves and our culture."
