Symposium | Translating Jewishness: Conversations on Culture and Civilization
This event draws on the collection of the Posen Library of Jewish Culture and Civilization to engage two key modes of Jewish expression: anthologies and translations. Throughout the centuries, Jews have gathered selections from the storehouse of Jewish culture and civilization into more widely accessible anthologies. In addition, for as long as Jews have lived dispersed across the globe, they have translated their sacred texts into their current vernaculars. As Jews settled in more places and began to speak more languages, the choice of what to translate and make more readily available for contemporary audiences became more complicated. Translation accompanied anthologizing. This symposium explores the dynamics of translating and dimensions of the Jewish anthological imagination.

Concert | Experimental Music and Visuals
SUNN O))) returns to the live aspect in its core, original raw form. Founders and guitarists Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson perform as a duo immersed in profound valve amplification, spectral harmonics, distortion, and volume. Their excursions into pure and primeval riffs of temporality and massively heavy structures of sound pressure have been challenging how we think about music for twenty years. Witness a live experience of physical sound, fog, and glacial maximalism like no other. The evening begins with a set from the Guatemalan cellist and vocalist Mabe Fratti. Fratti's music blurs the borders between folk, jazz, and avant rock, in service of rich, multi-layered works that center around her striking voice. She performs in the wake of her most recent album Sentir Que No Sabes, which brings her sound even closer to pop, though always driven by an experimental urge.

Book Discussion | On Being Jewish Now: Reflections from Authors and Advocates (in-person and online)
What is it about being Jewish that connects people no matter where we live, how they work or if they even go to synagogue? Food? Culture? Humor? Tradition? History? In the wake of the October 7 tragedy in Israel -- the worst pogrom since the Holocaust -- and the rising antisemitism in the following months, American Jews felt a solidarity that many hadn't known existed. People found themselves speaking out in ways they never had, putting on the Jewish stars they hadn't worn in decades, experiencing a pride they had long forgotten. Now, 75 writers share their funny, poignant, sad and emotional thoughts on that unique bond that reflect our joy and trauma, love, loss and family ties in the new book, On Being Jewish Now. Twenty of those authors will be in a conversation led by the volume's editor, publisher and contributor Zibby Owens.

A premiere performance of Joel Engel’s A krants yidishe folks-nigunim (1924): a collection of Jewish folksongs, dances, Hasidic nigunim, and religious melodies in arrangements for piano and four hand piano. Engel’s earlier Jewish Folksongs Volumes I, II, and II were the first published classical compositions to feature Yiddish folksongs. His use of Yiddish folk music in his compositions proved to be influential and inspired the Society for Jewish Folk Music and the composers affiliated with it to create a vast oeuvre of similar work. This collection of 29 pieces will be performed by Ryan MacEvoy McCullough and Sahun Sam Hong.

Symposium | Poetry as Artifact
A symposium devoted to Maria Stepanova's new poem, Holy Winter. This literary symposium brings together the author, her translators and publishers, and literary scholars to reflect on the poem as a literary artifact, a social fact, and a reading experience. How is a poem that relates to the catastrophic events of the day--the pandemic and the war--conceived and written? Maria Stepanova will share her reflections on the creative process. How does the poem reach its readers, in the country of its origin and beyond? What is the role of publishers, editors, translators? What is lost (and gained) in translation? Stepanova's translators and publishers will speak about their work. What poetic themes, instruments and forms are used in this highly innovative work of literature? How do we attend to the many voices speaking in the poem? How do we relate to its complex intertextual fabric? How do the poem's recurrent imagery and metaphors--exile, confinement, war--speak to us about our own experience as we transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first century? Literary scholars will offer their interpretations as well as readerly impressions.

Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (1874-J1938) was a historian, writer, bibliophile, collector, and activist. He also wrote many books. Schomburg was a Puerto Rican of African and German descent. He moved to the United States in 1891, where he researched and raised awareness of the contributions that Afro-Latin Americans and African Americans have made to society. He was an important intellectual figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Over the years, he collected literature, art, slave narratives, and other materials of African history, which were purchased to become the basis of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, named in his honor, at the New York Public Library (NYPL) in Harlem.

Lecture | Antisemitism History: The Case of Mendel Beilis in Emperial Russia (online)
On March 20, 1911, children playing in a cave near Kiev stumbled upon a horrific sight: the bloodied body of a boy. Following claims from right-wing groups that the murder was a ritual killing, police arrested Menachem Mendel Beilis, a 39-year-old Jewish factory manager, despite lacking direct evidence. Beilis's trial in 1913 quickly garnered international attention. Although the jury acquitted him, they suggested the crime bore the characteristics of a ritual murder. In his book, Blood Libel in Late Imperial Russia: The Ritual Murder Trial of Mendel Beilis, Robert Weinberg examines the motivations behind the tsarist government's framing of Beilis, highlighting the rampant antisemitism in late Imperial Russia. Led by professor of history Robert Weinberg.

Forum | Civics in Poetry & Prose: Discussion Group
Civic conversations, about topics of shared concern in the community at this special limited series of community conversations that will use poetry, science fiction, and other literature to help improve listening and critical thinking. You might not like this program if... You consider yourself very “tapped in” and want a space to vent about current political events and news. This program will feature “house rules” that include leaving current events outside the room as much as possible. You are already an expert at civic conversations…and want to tell everyone about it. This program will be a learning space for everyone involved, and it is essential that people sign up with the intent to try new things, make mistakes, and try again…and to be kind and give others space to do the same. You'll find this program useful if... You want to explore being able to talk about civic topics in a community of your peers. You don’t have to know what "civics" means to attend – in fact, your curiosity is the best starting place of all!

Talk | On the Poet Larry Eigner (in-person and online)
The poet Larry Eigner (1927-1996) was a key figure in New American poetry, which grew out of the Black Mountain School and San Francisco Renaissance, and a major influence on the Language poets. Eigner also had cerebral palsy as the result of an accident at birth. It is fortuitous that the poet lived his life in two locations vibrant in both poetics and disability activism. Except for brief periods attending camp and school, he lived with his parents in Swampscott, Massachusetts, until the age of 51. Later, he moved to Berkeley, California, at the height of the disability rights movement. In the 1950s, Eigner attended Camp Jened, which later became famous in the film Crip Camp.

Lecture | Felka Platek: Artist and Companion of the Painter Felix Nussbaum - Both Killed at Auschwitz (online)
Felka Platek (1899 Warsaw - 1944 Auschwitz) came to Berlin from Warsaw in the early 1920s to become a painter. In 1932 she followed her friend and later husband Felix Nussbaum (1904 Osnabruck - 1944 Auschwitz) to Italy. In 1935 they decided to go into exile in Belgium. However, neither of them could escape persecution by the Nazis. They were captured in their hiding place in Brussels on June 21, 1944 and murdered in Auschwitz shortly afterwards. The presentation by Anne Sibylle Schwetter, art historian and curator of the Felix Nussbaum Collection at the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus in Osnabruck, provides an insight into Platek's artistic work, from her earliest works from 1927 to the last known graphics, which were created in hiding in 1943.

Book Discussion | I Am Your Dust: Representations of the Israeli Experience in Yiddish Prose, 1948–1967 (online)
Israel's cultural space is frequently studied as if it were synonymous with the Hebrew-Israeli one. But within the borders of Israel, a fascinating culture was (and continues to be) created in many languages other than Hebrew. Gali Drucker Bar-Am's book expands the boundaries of current studies of Israel's cultural history by presenting and analyzing Yiddish-Israeli prose written during the country's first two decades as an independent state. It offers a comprehensive study of that unique, and hitherto little understood, literature, a detailed historical documentation of the contexts of its production, and an eye-opening comparison of its themes to the more familiar outputs of Hebrew-Israeli prose.

Discussion | On Spanish Dance and Flamenco (In Person AND Online!)
Spanish dancer Carmen Dauset "Carmencita" arrived in New York in 1889 and quickly became a sensation in New York society. She was painted by both William Merritt Chase and John Singer Sargeant, and in 1894, she became the first woman and the first dancer to be filmed by Thomas Edison. By the early decades of the 20th century great Spanish and flamenco dancers were performing in the U.S., and some, such as the Cansinos and Aurora Arriaza, settled in the U.S. as teachers and performers. Carlota Santana and K. Meira Goldberg present images and video footage surveying the early years of Spanish dance through the present day. Registration required.

Book Club | The Dry Heart by Natalia Ginzburg
Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage, The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement, "I shot him between the eyes." Everything in between is a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness, and as the tale proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. In this novella, Natalia Ginzburg's writing is white-hot, fueled by rage, stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality; she transforms an ordinary dull marriage into a psychological thriller that might pose the question: Why don't more wives kill their husbands?

Talk | Family History Today: How German Jews Got their Surnames (online)
In most cases, European Jews took on surnames in the late 18th and early 19th centuries after it was mandated by central authorities like the Hapsburg Emperor, the Czar, or Napoleon. In Germany, which consisted of dozens of more-or-less independent states, and where some Jews had used surnames for centuries, the story is more complicated. In this talk, Roger Lustig, a professional genealogist specializing in Prussian Jewish records, will discuss the many different ways and reasons German Jews chose, or were required to choose, surnames.

Performance | Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean
In the context of the current exhibition The Appearance: Art of the Asian Diaspora in Latin America & the Caribbean Venezuelan-Korean artist Suwon Lee presents the debut performance of Dictee/Exilee. In 1975, Korean American artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's powerful performance Aveugle Voix embodied the challenges of expressing the migrant experience through language. By covering her eyes and mouth with bandages labeled "voice" and "blind," she enacted the fragmentation of identity, language, and memory. Cha's work, rich in multiplicity and multilingualism, is an enduring inspiration for the performance, Dictee/Exilee. In this piece, Suwon Lee pays homage to Cha's legacy while weaving a narrative that reflects her own journey as a Venezuelan woman living in self-imposed exile for the past eight years. Her performance explores the complexities of preserving identity and cultural memory amidst physical displacement. By reciting over 380 names of cities, streets, natural monuments, flora, and fauna from her homeland, she creates a "spoken portrait" that roots her in the cultural memory of Venezuela--a memory that transcends geographical and linguistic boundaries. In this performance, the dimmed lights, projected images, and spoken words intertwine to form a tunnel-like narrative, drawing the audience into a dreamlike exploration of identity, memory, and the unyielding ties to one's mother tongue. As Cha expressed in her seminal work Dictee, "Mother tongue is your refuge. It is being home." Dictee/Exilee is not just a performance--it is a reclamation of self, an affirmation that, despite the passage of time and distance, exile is not the end, but a continuation of one's cultural journey.

Book Discussion | Making Room: Three Decades of Fighting for Beds, Belonging, and a Safe Place for LGBTQ Youth by Carl Siciliano
From a pioneering advocate for LGBTQ youth, an impassioned account of how an unhoused queer youth's murder compelled him to create the nation's largest housing program for homeless LGBTQ teens. What power does a long-disenfranchised community hold to transform the treatment of its most abused members? How can we locate that power? Carl Siciliano met Ali Forney—a Black nonbinary teenager known for fierce loyalty to friends and an unshakeable faith that “my God will love me for who I am”—in 1994 while working at a daytime center for homeless youth in New York City. Nineteen years old, Forney was one of thousands Siciliano encountered who had been driven from their homes by rejecting families, forced to struggle in the streets due to homophobic and transphobic violence in the shelters. Then Forney was murdered, a moment of horror and devastation that exposed the brutality that teenagers like Forney faced in a city marked by gentrification, racist policing, and the onslaught of the AIDS epidemic. Anguished by Forney’s loss, Siciliano fought to create homes where unhoused queer teens could live safely, with their human dignity at last affirmed, while he helped lead a movement that compelled New York City to invest millions of dollars in kids who’d been ignored for decades. Siciliano writes with loving affection for Forney and many other queer teens, showing deep respect for their wisdom, courage, and spiritual integrity. Their stories illuminate the harsh realities faced by hundreds of thousands of LGBTQ youths suffering from homelessness across our nation. And, exposing the political and religious forces that continue to endanger LGBTQ youths, he makes a clarion call for their protection. At this event, Carl Siciliano will discuss his book and more with author Paul Elie.

Book Discussion | When Two or More Are Gathered Together by Neal Slavin
Photographer Neal Slavin and author Kevin Moore discuss the new Damiani edition of Slavin's classic book of color group portraits on the 50-year anniversary of the book's first release. Neal Slavin began taking group portraits in the early 1970s, intrigued by the social dynamics of groups and the motivations behind their formation. While the pictures themselves were most often posed, Slavin instructed his subjects to arrange themselves, allowing natural hierarchies and indications of status to emerge. When the series was first published in 1976, it was recognized as an instant landmark in the emerging field of color photography, a field that included photographers such as Stephen Shore and William Eggleston. Regarded as something of a deadpan stunt, yet framed as a serious social experiment, When Two or More Are Gathered Together was appreciated for its surprising insights into American social life. This expanded fifty-year anniversary edition of When Two or More Are Gathered Together (Damiani Books) revisits the urgent question of social unity in the United States and includes new subjects—dogs, fencers and chambermaids—some photographed as recently as 2023. An essay by art historian Kevin Moore offers historical context for this timely and relevant body of early color photography. At this event, Neal Slavin talks to Kevin Moore about the making of the original series and the thought processes guiding this new edition.

Book Club | Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky: Modern Plant-based Recipes Using Native American Ingredients by Lois Ellen Frank
Some food historians say that 1491 to 1493 are the years the world began, in terms of food, that is. Prior to 1492, eight plants—corn, beans, squash, chile, tomato, potato, vanilla, and cacao—existed only in the Americas. Italy didn't have the tomato; Ireland didn't have the potato, nor Russia the vodka distilled from it; and there were no chiles in South Asia. When these ingredients crossed the ocean, they drastically transformed the way the Old World would eat and cook forever. Yet the average American, even those who cook with these foods regularly, doesn't know this history. Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky introduces the splendor and importance of Native culinary history and pairs it with delicious Native American-inspired dishes. Grounded in a primer on Native American cuisine and with a necessary discussion of food sovereignty and sustainability, Seed to Plate, Soil to Sky shares more than 100 nutritious, plant based recipes organized by each of the foundational ingredients. Grounded in Southwestern flavors, recipes like Blue Corn Hotcakes with Prickly Pear Syrup, Three Sisters Stew, and Green Chile Enchilada Lasagna, share the page—and plate—with essential basics like Corn Masa, Red and Green Chile Sauces, and Cacao Spice Rub for a celebration of Native foods

Film | Filmmakers for the Prosecution (2021): Uncovering the Truth for the Nuremberg Trial
Filmmakers for the Prosecution revisits the quest for film evidence that could hold the Nazis accountable at the Nuremberg Trial. The search was led by two American soldiers, Budd and Stuart Schulberg, under the direction of OSS film chief John Ford. The footage they presented in court became part of the official record and continues to shape our understanding of the Holocaust today. Seventy-five years later, French journalist and filmmaker Jean-Christophe Klotz returns to the German salt mines where films were destroyed, uncovers previously unseen footage, and interviews key figures to reveal why the resulting film about the trial--Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today by Stuart Schulberg--was deliberately suppressed by the U.S. Department of War. Klotz's compelling documentary also explores how these pioneering materials were obtained and raises important questions about documentarians' responsibilities to future generations. For ages 18+; contains graphic footage and imagery that may be upsetting to some viewers. Run time: 59 minutes

To mark the release of The Theran Spiral, Involute of a Circle, co-authors Cecilia Vicuña and James O’Hern will engage in a conversation with MC Kinniburgh (publisher), Amber Jacobs (English feminist philosopher), and Soledad Falabella (Chilean feminist scholar specializing in Gabriela Mistral and Indigenous poetries). “In these ominous times when Fas. Cism is gaining ground, The Theran Spiral celebrates an era in pre-patriarchal times when women were free to create an art that speaks to the future. Our focus is Akrotiri, in Thera, a town buried—like Pompei—by volcanic ash, for 3,000 years, that resurfaced in the 60s,” says Cecilia Vicuña. The book will be available for purchase.

Concert | Stories from Ancient Bulgaria
7 Stories Up presents Yasna Voices, a group of Bulgarian a cappella singers whose performance reveals the disarming power and intimacy of the unaccompanied voice. Yasna Voices will present a unique performance in which audiences will be immersed in the earthy resonance of the ensemble's ancient singing style, and invited to participate in the sound-making as well. Yasna Voices is an expansive group of singers, sharing a passion for ensemble harmony, folk traditions, and experimentation. Weaving together traditional Bulgarian village-style songs with artfully arranged a cappella pieces, original compositions, inspired by and written for Yasna Voices, and spontaneous group improvisation, the ensemble reveals the disarming power and intimacy of the unaccompanied voice. Their interpretations of ancient songs tell timeless tales of sweet or forbidden love, horses and wild mountains, potent wine, pepper planting, the secrets of the moon, and the sun’s falling in love with a beautiful girl and her song.
