Discussion | Jaipur Literary Festival


With hundreds of thousands of spectators worldwide, mini-festivals from Houston to Doha, and speakers like Ken Follett, Patrick Radden Keefe and Jonathan Franzen, the iconic Jaipur Literature Festival is known as "the greatest literary show on earth" (Tina Brown). Session 1: Molly Crabapple in Conversation Drawing from conflict, art, and reportage, artist and writer Molly Crabapple's work weaves together the psychological and physical horrors of war through illustrations. Crabapple's contribution to Brothers of the Gun: A Memoir of the Syrian War by Marwan Hisham brings to life a ground-level reflection of the Syrian revolution. In her memoir, Drawing Blood, Crabapple masterfully engages with how we think about art, sex, politics, and survival in our wrought times. In this session Crabapple discusses the beauty and chaos of her art and its intended impact. As part of the Jaipur Literature Festival, Crabapple will speak about life, art, and the gripping reportage which won her last year's Bernhart Labor Journalism award. Session 2: Madhur Jaffrey in Conversation with Sanjoy K. Roy In a recent interview with The New York Times, Madhur Jaffrey called herself "the original Spice Girl." Her definitive cookbook An Invitation to Indian Cooking, reissued this year, introduced Western readers to the sophisticated dishes of subcontinental cuisine, through a volume The Times named "the final word on the subject." Jaffrey is also a famous actress, with credits which range from Merchant-Ivory's acclaimed film Shakespeare-Wallah to this year's And Just Like That. Jaffrey discusses her many lives and the intensity with which she has lived them, from her early years in New Delhi, India to her association with Merchant Ivory and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, to her life in cuisine.

Lecture | New Life after the Holocaust: The Extraordinary Baby Boom in Europe's Displaced Persons Camps (online)


After WWII, the Allies established Displaced Persons camps in the Allied-occupied zones of Germany, Austria, and Italy to temporarily house the millions of Europeans who were displaced by the war. As more than 700,000 Jews, including many concentration camp survivors, flooded into these camps, they were quick to get married and, within less than a year, the birth rate of the Jewish population in Europe's DP camps was the highest of any group in the world at the time. In this lecture, Serafima Velkovich, Head of the Family Roots Research Section at the Yad Vashem Archives, will discuss the history of this unique phenomenon and explain how you can search for information on the former DP babies in your family.

Gallery Talk | Medieval Money, Merchants, and Morality: Exhibition Preview (online)


Medieval Money, Merchants, and Morality charts the economic revolution that took place at the end of the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance. Trade was conducted on an unprecedented scale, banks were established, and coinage proliferated like never before. The widespread use of money in everyday life transformed every aspect of European society, including its values and culture. Bringing together some of the most acclaimed manuscripts in the Morgan's collection and other exceptional objects including a renaissance purse, a brass alms box, and a hoard of coins, this exhibition will explore the fate of the avaricious, attitudes towards the poor, contentious lending practices, and money management. The famous Hours of Catherine of Cleves, the Hours of Henry VIII, and the Prayer Book of Queen Claude de France will be presented from a decidedly new angle, combining economic and art history to consider the early history of capitalism and the crisis in values that it sparked. These will feature alongside lesser known treasures, including an Italian account book in its original binding and a stunning leaf from a register of creditors made in Bologna, Italy, in 1394–95. As people today reflect on fluctuating markets, disparities in wealth, personal values, and morality, the themes addressed in this exhibition are as relevant as ever. Curators Diane Wolfthal and Dei Jackson for a virtual advance look at the show.

Gallery Talk | Morgan's Bibles: Splendor in Scripture: Exhibition Preview (online)


The Bible is a cornerstone of religion, art, and literature in the western world. Few books can demonstrate the power of the printed word as vividly as scripture—a bedrock of faith, an object of veneration, a formative influence on language and culture. For Pierpont Morgan it represented a magnificent opportunity to express his religious convictions through his collecting interests in archaeological artifacts, illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, decorative arts, and master drawings. This exhibition includes masterpieces in each of these mediums, including a cuneiform tablet with the deluge story, the earliest surviving first five verses of the Septuagint Genesis, the Lindau Gospels treasure binding, the Golden Gospels of Henry VIII, the Gutenberg Bible, Rubens drawings, and Rembrandt prints. Viewed as an ensemble, Morgan's collection was an inspirational accomplishment predicated on the historical importance and artistic excellence of his books. Curators John Bidwell and Jesse R. Erickson provide a virtual advance ook at the show

Their investigation takes them through every social level of the town, with Tibbs making enemies as well as unlikely friends as he hunts for the truth.

Book Discussion | Homelands: A Personal History of Europe


Renowned British historian Timothy Garton Ash's new book gives a unique account of the history of Europe since 1945, drawing on his extensive personal notes from 50 years of events witnessed, places visited, and historymakers encountered (from Margaret Thatcher to Vladimir Putin) to chart the rise and then faltering of the quest for a 'Europe whole and free'. Professor Garton Ash will extend the analysis in Homelands to offer an interpretation of how Europe progressed from the post-War period (famously analysed by Tony Judt) to what he calls the post-Wall period. And why it then regressed, in a 'downward turn' after 2008, culminating in Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 – beginning the largest war in Europe since 1945. What did Europe get right? Where did it go wrong? Why?

Book Discussion | Remnants: Embodied Archives of the Armenian Genocide (in-person and online)


Professor Elyse Semerdjian discusses her forthcoming book. Foremost among the images of the Armenian Genocide is the specter of tattooed Islamized Armenian women. Blue tribal tattoos that covered face and body signified assimilation into Muslim Bedouin and Kurdish households. Among Armenians, the tattooed survivor was seen as a living ethnomartyr or, alternatively, a national stain, and the bodies of women and children figured centrally within the Armenian communal memory and humanitarian imaginary. In Remnants, these tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal a larger history, as the lived trauma of genocide is understood through bodies, skin, and—in what remains of those lives a century afterward—bones.

Lecture | Is Capitalism Working?


Many of today’s debates in public policy toward business reflect debates among economists, public intellectuals, and policymakers over the continued relevance of classical liberal (think Adam Smith or David Ricardo) or neoliberal (think Friedrich Hayek or Milton Friedman) world views. Oren Cass, founder and executive director of American Compass, is an important contributor to this debate, Formerly a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, he is the author of The Once and Future Worker: A Vision for the Renewal of Work in America. In his leadership of American Compass, he focuses on “what the post-Trump right-of-center is going to be” in shaping the fortunes of business and workers.

Opening Reception | Tetsuya Ishida: My Anxious Self


One of the appeals of Tetsuya Ishida’s works is the accessibility of his images. They teem with the dark, quiet, and subdued air of apathy and regression unique to comics, reflecting the state of mind of the Japanese youth of the artist’s generation. Born in 1973, Ishida (who died in 2005) spent his twenties in the period of recession known as “the lost decade” after the Japanese economic bubble burst in 1991. The employment rate of new grads fell to 60 percent, and by 1998 the suicide rate exceeded thirty thousand annually. By the latter half of the ’90s, many young people were unable to find full-time jobs: they lost hope for their future and began to drop out of society, their retreat accelerated by an environment overloaded with media. The number of hikikomori (unemployed shut-ins unable to negotiate the outside world) who had lost the ability to communicate swelled.

Book Discussion | The World After Capital: The End of the Industrial Age


Capitalism is humanity's greatest invention. It launched the Industrial Revolution, in which science and industry transformed a feudal world into a place where all people could be equal in rights and opportunity. Until now. Despite all the accomplishments of capitalism, humanity is plagued by its negative externalities. The capitalist paradigm falls short when it comes to determining the price of a life. No intrinsic value can be placed on the creation of art, the inspiration derived from travel, or the sustenance of time spent in nature or with family. Yet with each new crisis, institutions worldwide reach for the mechanics of capitalism. Raising interest rates may encourage spending, but doesn't incentivize workers to train in new skills. New luxury high-rises won't help the millions suffering from income instability. Deforestation provides more paper for packaging Amazon boxes while devastating ecosystems that are foundational to our climate. Once scarce, capital is now abundant, and not enough to provide a life worth living. Digital technologies have determined a new way to price abstractions. No longer measured in $/Y/E, value is now created by engagement and likes. Albert Wenger's The World After Capital demonstrates how the end of the Industrial Age has given rise to an Age of Knowledge, in which the primary scarcity is not capital, but attention.

Lecture | Along the Lines of Paul Klee, Len Lye, and Franz Kafka: Experiments in the Expression of Virtual Vitality


The talk begins with a speculative claim: there are liminal forces amidst us, unseen and barely felt, ripples of vitality -- every milieu, even the most apparently quiescent, is charged. In Paul Klee's words, "the visible world is merely an isolated case in relation to the universe and ... there are many more other, latent realities." There subsists, in other words, a virtual realm of protean volatilities active amidst any particular set of more recognizable "objects" and their "properties." Jane Bennett of the Politics Department delivers this lecture.

Book Discussion | Fashioning the Beatles: The Looks that Shook the World


Celebrating the launch of Deirdre Kelly’s Fashioning the Beatles with a panel discussion about the deep, complex, and ever-changing relationship between fashion and music. Stylish attire encouraged. John, Paul, George, and Ringo were more than great musicians: they were the quintessential fashion icons of one of the most exciting and memorable fashion eras of all time. From their starts in black leather through Sergeant Pepper to Nehru collars and psychedelia, the Beatles used clothing to express their individual and group identities and, especially, to grow their following. They did it without benefit of stylists or consultants, making their own rules and changing their looks as many as five times a year to keep a few steps ahead of the crowd in the tumultuous, fashion-obsessed sixties. More than fifty years after their break-up, their style continues to animate the collections of some of the world's leading designers, including Thom Browne, John Varvatos, Anna Sui, Tom Ford, Gucci's Alessandro Michele and, yes, Stella McCartney. Fashioning the Beatles, the first in-depth look at their sartorial legacy, demonstrates that their inimitable style was not an incidental by-product of their fame but an integral part of their act and a key to their globe-spanning success.

Book Discussion | Sink the Tirpitz: Convoy PQ 18, Soviet-Based RAF Bombers and the Battle Against Hitler's Last Great Warship (online)


The war hung in the balance. In the Pacific, the Japanese had suffered their first major defeat at Midway and the German advance into the heart of Russia had stalled at Stalingrad. But if the Germans could break through into the Caucasus and capture its vital oil fields, the Soviets might be battered into bloody defeat. It was crucial that the convoys from the UK fought their way through the Arctic to Archangel and Murmansk to deliver the supplies which were so essential to the Russians. But lurking in the Norwegian fjords was Germany’s last great battleship, Tirpitz. With author Geoffrey W. Raebel.

Staged Reading | New York City's Longest-Running Cold Play Reading


Naked Angels was formed in 1986 by a group of artists intent on creating a creative home for new voices. Forming a community of writers, directors, actors, producers, and designers, our founders crafted an open environment for expression, experimentation, and production. The company took its name from the John Tytell book, which referred to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and other Beats as “a generation that wanted to break out of convention and scream.” As a young group, the Naked Angels artists felt the same way; needing a place where, through the medium of theater, they could show the world a different perspective of the times. Sometimes outraged, often irreverent, occasionally absurd, and always intelligent, enthusiastic and fun, Naked Angels’ work was a spark to which audiences were quickly drawn. The Space, as their theater on 17th Street was known, soon became a vital, thriving crossroads where talented theater artists met and collaborated: the destination of choice for those seeking a truly celebratory theatrical experience.
