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 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942. Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its doors in the spirit of the administration's motto: one city, rising together. In keeping with that theme, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art installation, titled “Windows on the City: Looking Out at Gracie’s New York.” This tour repeats every Monday.

Opening Reception | Zao Wou-Ki: Homage to I.M. Pei
A series of paintings by the Chinese-born French artist Zao Wou-Ki (1920–2013). The exhibition pays homage to the close, enduring friendship between Zao Wou-Ki and the Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei (1917–2019). Throughout his career, Zao Wou-Ki merged Eastern and Western aesthetic traditions in his paintings, retaining technical elements of Chinese painting styles while embracing European Modernism. As a student in China, he studied ink drawings and classical Eastern painting. In Paris, where he moved in 1948, he continued exploring Impressionism and Expressionism. Inspired by Paul Klee and his appreciation of Eastern art, Zao Wou-Ki began to seriously contemplate nature in his own work, and to incorporate traditional Chinese calligraphy into his evolving artistic language. The earliest works in this exhibition, made in 1979 and 1980, were commissioned by Pei and served as prototypes for a series of ink works that followed. The remaining seven paintings on view—in India ink on paper mounted on canvas, and from 2006—employ the same medium, with their free-flowing brushstrokes applied in a subtle yet concentrated method.

Author Reading | Commemorating Writer And Cartoonist James Thurber At His 125th Birthday
Grand Central commemorates the quasquicentennial of James Thurber’s birth! Writer and editor Michael J. Rosen, founding literary director of The Thurber House, will discuss a new edition of Collected Fables, containing many of Thurber’s timely and timeless stories as well as previously unpublished material! This cultural event is a must-attend for New York history buffs and literature lovers! James Thurber was a cartoonist, author, humorist, journalist, playwright, and celebrated wit. He was best known for his cartoons and short stories published mainly in The New Yorker magazine, such as "The Catbird Seat", and collected in his numerous books. He was one of the most popular humorists of his time, as he celebrated the comic frustrations and eccentricities of ordinary people. He wrote the Broadway comedy The Male Animal in collaboration with his college friend Elliott Nugent; it was later adapted into a film starring Henry Fonda and Olivia de Havilland. His short story The Secret Life of Walter Mitty has been adapted for film twice, once in 1947 and again in 2013.

Lecture | Refuge Beyond Reach: How Rich Democracies Repel Asylum Seekers
From the U.S. to the U.K., governments in the Global North have developed increasingly elaborate techniques for denying sanctuary to asylum seekers. Fearing economic decline, cultural upheaval, and threats to national security, more and more rich, democratic countries resort to draconian policies to limit who can cross their borders. Sociologist David FitzGerald (UC San Diego) uncovers how these governments manage to comply with the letter of immigration law while violating its spirit, and suggests ways in which asylum seekers can nevertheless fight to protect their universal rights.

Talk | Being an Ethicist: Exploring Ethical Dilemmas
“After twelve years writing the popular New York Times Magazine column, I examine how the moral landscape – and my own moral reasoning – changed over that time. Plus: how I got, how I did, and what I learned from my unusual job. Are those questions real? Did I ever get one wrong? (Or, depending on your perspective, right?)” Randy Cohen’s first professional work was writing humor pieces, essays, and stories for newspapers and magazines (The New Yorker, Harpers, The Atlantic, Young Love Comics). His first television work was writing for Late Night With David Letterman, for which he won three Emmy awards. For 12 years he wrote “The Ethicist,” a weekly column for The New York Times Magazine. In his book, Be Good: How to Navigate the Ethics of Everything, Cohen helps readers locate their own internal ethical compasses as he delivers answers to life’s most challenging dilemmas. He is currently the host of Person Place Thing, a public radio program.

Film | Documentary: At the Heart of Gold: Inside the USA Gymnastics Scandal (2019): Screening and Talkback
In 2016, USA Gymnastics was rocked by the revelation that national team doctor Larry Nassar had been abusing young athletes for decades. The documentary unpacks the scandal, its cover-up, and aftermath, while giving voice to the survivors. 88 min. Director: Erin Lee Carr Featuring: Trinea Gonczar, former gymnast and director, Wayne County Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners Program David Ulich, producer and attorney Dr. Steven Ungerleider, producer, psychologist, and author. For 30 years Dr. Larry Nassar was a highly respected athletic trainer who served as the osteopathic physician for the U.S. women’s Olympic gymnastics team, as well as a physician at Michigan State University. But in 2018, 156 women who had suffered sexual abuse under the guise of medical treatment faced him in court to condemn his actions. Based on years of research by producers Dr. Steven Ungerleider and David Ulich, At the Heart of Gold: Inside the U.S.A. Gymnastics Scandal shares the stories of the women who spoke out against their abuser. Through interviews with dozens of survivors, as well as coaches, lawyers, and journalists, the film exposes an environment in which young women spent their youth competing for victory on a world stage, juxtaposed against a culture where abuse was hidden, and lives were forever damaged. Following a screening of the film, Ungerleider and Ulich, who have recently founded Courage First, an abuse prevention program, will be joined in conversation by Trinea Gonczar, a former gymnast who shares her story in this important investigative documentary.
