Film | Rustin (2023): Biographical Drama Directed by 5-Time Tony Winner


Rustin tells the story of Bayard Rustin, the civil rights activist and organizer behind the 1963 March on Washington. He challenged authority, never apologized for who he was, what he believed, or who he desired. And he did not back down. The film highlights his pivotal role in the civil rights movement. It shows how Rustin's strategic vision and tireless dedication helped shape the march and advance the fight for equality, while also exploring his personal struggles and the complexities of his identity. Directed by five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo. Duration: 1h 38m Rated PG-13

Talk | Hide and Seek: Jewishness in Fiction (in-person and online)


In her latest novel, The Many Lives of Theo, Nathalie Azoulai explores Jewishness directly in the aftermath of October 7, a departure from the subtle "concealment" characterizing her earlier works. Avatars, masks, shifts, transpositions, and analogies have long fueled her narrative DNA—defining not just plot trajectories but the intricate choreography of character interactions. This literary encryption is more than stylistic choice; it's a profound gesture inherent to European Jewish literary identity. Whether it be a deliberate choice of hiding or an unconscious bias that emerges during the creative process, the practice of encrypting Jewishness seems more prevalent in European literary traditions than in the United States. Geographically and sociologically, the stakes of Jewish authorship in Europe differ fundamentally from those in the United States—where disclosure carries different psychological and cultural weights.

Book Discussion | Metamorphoses: Reconsidering What Binds All Life


Author Emanuele Coccia and Professor Eugenio Refini in a conversation around the concept of metamorphosis across philosophy and literature. In his 2021 book, Metamorphoses, Coccia sees metamorphosis not just as a biological process, but as the fundamental force that binds all life together. Challenging the rigid boundaries between species, the living and the non-living, and even human identity, Coccia presents a visionary perspective in which life is an ever-changing continuum, where transformation is not the exception but the rule. His book invites readers to reconsider existence as deeply interconnected, revealing a world in which every form of life is a continuation of those that came before. To what extent does this approach to metamorphosis speak to relevant concerns in the production and study of literary discourse?

Book Discussion | You Between the Lines: Literary Rivals


No one’s more surprised than Leigh when a prestigious MFA program in North Carolina accepts her. A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry workshop. Leigh's insecurities become all too real when Will, that same high school crush-turned-nemesis, shows up at orientation. And now, he’s William, exactly the kind of writer Leigh hates, complete with his pretentious sweater vests and tattered Moleskine. Leigh’s determined to prove herself—and William—wrong by landing the program’s highly-coveted fellowship. But Will’s dead-set on proving himself too, and in a small cohort, they can't keep apart for long. With author Katie Naymon.

Book Club | Graphic Novel Book Club: Bungleton Green and the Mystic Commandos by Jay Jackson


Meet Bungleton Green--an anti-racist time traveler and the first-ever Black superhero created more than a decade before characters like Black Panther and Falcon. In 1942, almost a year after America entered the Second World War, Jay Jackson--a former railroad worker and sign painter, now working as a cartoonist and illustrator for the legendary Black newspaper The Chicago Defender--did something unexpected. He took the Defender's stale and long-running gag strip Bungleton Green and remade it into a gripping, anti-racist science fiction adventure comic. He teamed the bumbling Green with a crew of Black teens called the Mystic Commandos, and together, they battled the enemies of America and racial equality in the past, present, and future. Nazis, segregationist senators, Benedict Arnold, fifth columnists, 18th-century American slave traders, evil scientists, and a nation of racist Green Men all faced off against the Mystic Commandos and Green, who in the strip's run would be transformed by Jackson into the first-ever Black superhero.

Book Discussion | Dismantling the Master's Clock: On Race, Space, and Time (online)


The launch of artist and advocate Rasheedah Phillips’s expansive new book. Our dominant perception of time owes more to Western history and social order than to nature, argues Rasheedah Phillips, delving into Black and Afrodiasporic conceptions of time, where the past, present, and future interact in more numerous constellations. Drawing on philosophy, archival research, quantum physics, and Phillips’s art and law practice on housing policy, Dismantling the Master’s Clock expands the horizons of what can be imagined and, ultimately, achieved.

Book Discussion | We Would Never: A Novel of Murder in the Family (online)


How far would you go to protect those you love? And can you live with the consequences? That’s the question that Tova Mirvis explores in her gripping new novel. Inspired by a true tabloid-esque story, We Would Never leads readers into the tangled tale of a murder in the midst of a bitter divorce, with the “peacemaker” among her relatives accused of killing her husband. This is an intimate drama about a family that spins out of control as their facade of wholesomeness is shattered by the sinister consequence of all-consuming love.

Book Discussion | A Nation of Refugees: Russia's Jews in World War I (online)


When World War I began, the Russian Empire was home to more than 5.7 million Jews, the most densely settled Jewish population in the world. Thirty years later, by 1945, only remnants of this civilization remained. The years of World War I, from 1914 to 1918, launched nearly all the forces that led to this epic destruction. Author Polly Zavadivker tells how Jewish civilians experienced that war and its epicenter of violence on the Eastern Front. World War I transformed the lives of East European Jews in ways that were second only to the Holocaust in their magnitude. State violence and forced migration determined many aspects of Jewish wartime and revolutionary experience. These policies not only destroyed much of traditional Jewish life but also inadvertently compelled a transformation of Jewish civil society. The collapse of Russian imperialism enabled the growth of an empire-wide humanitarian campaign to rescue the “nation of refugees,” whose plight embodied that of the Jewish nation itself. By exploring this history of Jewish humanitarianism during World War I, Zavadivker provides the origin stories of key leaders and public institutions that served East European Jewry in the interwar years and during the Holocaust.

Blue Baby follows eight formerly incarcerated teens over four years as they navigate life in Boys Town, a community offering an alternative to prison. It explores their journey toward personal accountability, the impact of societal and familial failures, and the limitations of reformation. At the heart of the film is Father Flanagan's legacy, the visionary founder of Boys Town, who believed there are no bad boys. His ideals led to one of the most innovative approaches to dealing with troubled youth. The film realistically portrays the clash between vision and reality in the reform process.

Talk | Irish Jewry through the Ages: Part Two (1892–1945) (online)


Uncover the roots of Jewish life in Ireland from the medieval era through the 19th century. This three-part series delves into the rich history of Jews in Ireland, from their earliest recorded presence in 1079 CE to the evolving Irish-Jewish experience of the 21st century. This session explores the flourishing of Dublin’s Jewish community, including the expansion of the Dublin Hebrew Congregation and the rise of secular Jewish life and cultural activities. We’ll examine Jewish integration within Irish society, through figures like the fictional Leopold Bloom and real-life leaders like Robert Briscoe and Rabbi Isaac Herzog, as well as the impact of WWII on Irish Jews. This period marks the community’s evolving identity and its lasting cultural contributions amidst challenges at home and abroad.

Book Discussion | Citizen Marx: Republicanism and the Formation of Karl Marx's Social and Political Thought


Bruno Leipold's Citizen Marx is the first book to offer a comprehensive exploration of Marx’s relationship to republicanism, arguing that it is essential to understanding his thought. Challenging common depictions of Marx that downplay or ignore his commitment to politics, democracy, and freedom, Leipold shows that Marx viewed democratic political institutions as crucial to overcoming the social unfreedom and domination of capitalism. One of Marx’s principal political values, Leipold contends, was a republican conception of freedom, according to which one is unfree when subjected to arbitrary power.

Book Discussion | Harlem Rhapsody: Sparking the Harlem Renaissance (in-person and online)


She found the literary voices that would inspire the world.... The extraordinary story of the woman who ignited the Harlem Renaissance, written by Victoria Christopher Murray. In 1919, a high school teacher from Washington, D.C arrives in Harlem excited to realize her lifelong dream. Jessie Redmon Fauset has been named the literary editor of The Crisis. The first Black woman to hold this position at a preeminent Negro magazine, Jessie is poised to achieve literary greatness. But she holds a secret that jeopardizes it all. W. E. B. Du Bois, the founder of The Crisis, is not only Jessie's boss, he's her lover. And neither his wife nor their fourteen-year-age difference can keep the two apart. Amidst rumors of their tumultuous affair, Jessie is determined to prove herself. She attacks the challenge of discovering young writers with fervor, finding sixteen-year-old Countee Cullen, seventeen-year-old Langston Hughes, and Nella Larsen, who becomes one of her best friends. Under Jessie's leadership, The Crisis thrives...every African American writer in the country wants their work published there. When her first novel is released to great acclaim, it's clear that Jessie is at the heart of a renaissance in Black music, theater, and the arts. She has shaped a generation of literary legends, but as she strives to preserve her legacy, she'll discover the high cost of her unparalleled success.

Book Discussion | Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies: The Conceits, Hijinks, and Delusions of New Yorkers from 1974–1995 by Stan Mack


From 1974 to 1995, New Yorkers starred in their own comic strip in the weekly pages of the city’s trailblazing alternative newsweekly, The Village Voice. Stan Mack’s “Real Life Funnies” chronicled the everyday, the extraordinary, and the downright outlandish lives of New Yorkers, capturing their sardonic humor, sexual shenanigans, and exotic obsessions. The Rugman, who wrapped himself in a carpet sample and lay on the sidewalk, eagerly waiting to be stepped on. The dolphin trainer who lamented her nonexistent love life because she always smelled of fish. The mob enforcer who also happened to be a gifted calligrapher. Every story was told entirely in the subjects’ own words—and in Stan’s acute cartoons. And New Yorkers ate it up.   In June 2024, Fantagraphics published a hearty collection of nearly 300 of these strips: Stan Mack’s Real Life Funnies: The Conceits, Hijinks, and Delusions of New Yorkers from 1974–1995. Using comic strips from the book, the back stories behind those strips, and some where-are-they-now revelations, Stan will take us on a visual thrill ride through New York in the age of graffiti, rap sessions, phone booths, cocaine, and self-expression the likes of which exist in no other city on earth.

1950s, rural Ireland. A loner comes across a mysteriously empty car in a field. Knowing he shouldn’t approach but unable to hold back, he soon finds himself embroiled in a troubling missing person case, as a husband claims his wife may have thrown herself into the sea. Called in from Dublin to investigate is Detective Inspector Strafford, who soon turns to his old ally—the flawed but brilliant pathologist Quirke—a man he is linked to in increasingly complicated ways. But as the case unfolds, events from the past resurface that may have life-altering ramifications for all involved.

Opening Reception | Viktor Koen: Greetings from Pandemic Island


An exhibition of pigment prints on acrylic, digital prints on paper, and projections by Viktor Koen. Initially conceived as a set of postcards, “Greetings from Pandemic Island,” evolved into a pictorial bridge between the 1918–19 influenza and COVID-19 pandemics. Spanning a turbulent century, the series documents the brutal realities of such crises by questioning issues of personal and collective responsibility, humanity, and gross indifference but also highlights an intricate web of long existing layers of racial and socioeconomic disparities catalyzed by the epidemic. Utilizing a wide range of archival photography, turn of the century advertising and public service propaganda, this visual essay functions as a vivid reminder of viral global experiences still unfolding through mass and social media on our devices. But mostly, about the obsessive urgency to simply make something and stay mentally afloat when everything around was sinking.

Talk | The Autonomy of Anger: Ten Years of French Protests


France is experiencing a multiplication of protest movements, of which the so-called Yellow Vest movement in 2018-2019 is only the most original. I participated in this movement and observed directly or indirectly other movements of the last decade as well as the grievances collected by the French government from its population during the yellow vest movement (in "Cahiers" that recalled, albeit quite differently, those of the French Revolution). The result is a picture of French complaints and protests and their recent evolution. Here, we present a few features (and ask whether they can be found in other countries). Current French protests are more territorial, more critical of official organizations and, more focused on the sphere of reproduction (health, education, ecology). The failure of political parties to take up these complaints may well be one of the main reasons for the lasting difficulties of the Left in France. Electoral politics and protest politics are increasingly dissociated. Anger is becoming autonomous. Speaker Laurent Jeanpierre is political scientist, Professor of Political Science at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and co-author of Une Histoire Globale des Révolutions.

Examine the intersection of Greco-Roman art with Indian Buddhist narrative starting in the first century BCE.   Dr. Elizabeth Rosen Stone, independent scholar and Andrew W. Mellon Senior Fellow in Art History at the Metropolitan Museum, discusses Gandhara art which developed following Alexander the Great’s invasion of the Indian subcontinent. There will be fascinating visual references to the Classical world throughout the Buddhist art of Nagarjunakonda and related sites in Southern India from the first century BCE through the third century CE. The resulting rich tradition fused Greco-Roman art with Indian Buddhist narrative sculpture questioning the idea that the art of southern India is indigenous.

Jennifer Krasinski and Andrew Lampert will share aspects of their ongoing research into Richard Foreman. Working together, they have uncovered a plethora of documentation and unstaged material that will be featured in a forthcoming exhibition dedicated to Foreman and his collaborators in the Ontological-Hysteric Theater. They will discuss their process and consider the question of what it means to transmit experience. Foreman’s iconoclastic productions are largely irreproducible, and yet they must always be performed anew in order to be seen. What is involved in authentically staging the work of a theater artist who insists that others must not interpret or imitate him when performing his plays?

Book Discussion | The Other March Sisters by Liz Parker, Ally Malinenko, and Linda Epstein


Giving all the Little Women the stories they deserve at last, this historical novel and companion to the much-loved classic draws Meg, Beth, and Amy March from behind the shadow of Jo – Louisa May Alcott’s alter-ego and the “author” of Little Women – as vibrant and unforgettable characters grappling with societal strictures, queer love, motherhood, chronic illness, artistic ambition, and more. Four sisters, each as different as can be. Through the eyes and words of Jo, their characters and destinies became known to millions. Meg, pretty and conventional. Jo, stubborn, tomboyish, and ambitious. Beth, shy and good-natured, a mortal angel readily accepting her fate. And Amy, elegant, frivolous, and shallow. But Jo, for all her insight, could not always know what was in her sisters’ thoughts, or in their hearts. With Jo away in New York to pursue her literary ambitions, Meg, Beth, and Amy follow their own paths. Meg, newly married with young twins, struggles to find the contentment that Marmee assured her would come with domesticity. Unhappy and unfulfilled, she turns to her garden, finding there not just a hobby but a calling that will allow her to help other women in turn. Beth knows her time is limited. Still, part of her longs to break out of her suffocating cocoon at home, however briefly. A new acquaintance turns into something more, offering unexpected, quiet joy. Amy, traveling in Europe while she pursues her goal of becoming an artist, is keenly aware of the expectation that she will save the family by marrying well. Through the course of her journey, she discovers how she can remain true to herself, true to her art, and true to the love that was always meant to be. Purposefully leaving Jo off the page, authors Liz Parker, Ally Malinenko, and Linda Epstein draw inspiration from Alcott’s real-life sisters, giving the other March women room to reveal themselves through conversations, private correspondence, and intimate moments—coming alive in ways that might surprise even daring, unconventional Jo.

Book Discussion | The Prosecutor: One Man's Battle to Bring Nazis to Justice


Author Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay, Jewish judge from Stuttgart who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the shadowy, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler’s former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer landed on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he wouldn’t be intimidated. His journey took him deep into the dark heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice would set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies bent on silencing him.

Discussion | Envisioning Seneca Village: An Interactive 3D Model (online)


Seneca Village was a community established by African American landowners in 1825 and destroyed by the City of New York in 1857 for the construction of Central Park. Research beginning in the 1990s has shed light on the once-forgotten village: a stable, successful, rural home to dozens of families. Much is still unknown, however, and no images or above-ground traces remain, making imagining the village challenging. This talk presents Envisioning Seneca Village, an interactive 3D model of what the village might have looked like in 1855. The project’s coauthors will discuss how they combined ongoing research in archaeology, history, historical geographic information systems (GIS), and architectural rendering to build the model; their plans for future improvements; and their aims for the project to both catalyze new research and keep the memory of Seneca Village alive in the present.

Discussion | Lindy Hop and Swing Dance


Barbara A. Jones is the Founder and Executive Director of The Harlem Swing Dance Society, the premiere Harlem non profit organization with the purpose of promoting, preserving and protecting the Lindy Hop dance and various forms of Swing Dance culture in its Harlem birthplace. The mission is to see the Harlem area once again embrace their signature cultural dance and energize community youth to be future innovators of this historic art form. While the Savoy Ballroom closed in 1958, a new Lindy Hop foundation was born with Mama Lu Parks and her dance troupes. Under her direction Harlem youth made history and brought future attention to Lindy Hop by lessons, performances and dance contests. For close to 30 years they traveled and hopped the globe as one of the longest running jazz dance groups. This "hidden" history will be brought back to life with film, artifacts, and experiences from her dancers. Registration required.

Film | Selma (2014) Directed by Ava DuVernay


The Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegrated the South, but despite that, discrimination was still rampant. This made it difficult and dangerous for Black people to register to vote. A year later, in 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for sufrage, and Dr. Martin Luther King and his followers joined the battle, despite violent opposition. They marched from Selma to Montgomery, and their movement ended with President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Director: Ava DuVernay Cast: David Oyelowo, Tom Wilkinson, Carmen Ejogo, Giovanni Ribisi, Alessandro Nivola Ava DuVernayis an American filmmaker, screenwriter, and producer who has received two Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as a nomination for an Academy Award and Golden Globe. For her work on Selma (2014), DuVernay became the first African-American woman to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Director; the film went on to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Lecture | Shakespeare's Haunted Generation: Sex and Succession in King Lear


This talk by Professor Tanya Pollard explores King Lear's preoccupation with birth and reproduction by situating the play in the context of the now invisible shaping power of some influential ghosts, both textual and material, looming behind the play. It argues that Shakespeare develops the play's devastating tragic vision by putting an older model of tragedy in conversation with the lives of the actors in his playing company,especially their leading actor, Richard Burbage. Attending to the way the play is haunted, both by past literary forms and by the lived experience of its creators, offers a window in its exploration of catastrophically broken bloodlines.

Book Discussion | The New Brownies' Book: A Love Letter to Black Families (online)


In the 1920s scholar, author, and activist W. E. B. Du Bois started a magazine for children. Calling it “The Brownies’ Book: A Monthly Magazine for Children of the Sun”, it was the first magazine aimed specifically at Black youth. It was published at 70 Fifth Avenue. In his role as editor‐in‐chief, Du Bois reached out to the era’s most celebrated Black creatives—writers, artists, poets, songwriters—and asked them to contribute their “best work” to The Brownies’ Book “so that Black children will know that they are thought about and LOVED.” Among its contributors was Langston Hughes, whose first published poems appeared in The Brownies’ Book. Nearly 100 years later, author, educator, and Du Bois scholar Dr. Karida L. Brown and award‐ winning artist and children’s book creator Charly Palmer revived and expanded upon the Brownies’ Book legacy and showcase new art and writing for children from today’s brilliant Black creators. They discuss their new book packed with 60 all‐new stories, poems, songs, photos, illustrations, comics, short plays, games, essays, and more is designed to reflect, celebrate, and inspire a new generation of children and families.

Discover the amazing unheard story of the Dance Theatre of Harlem and the troupe of women and men who became each other's chosen family.   Author Karen Valby takes us on a journey forged by a pioneering group of five black ballerinas whose sisterhood created a legacy in the dance world, but whose history has been dismally overlooked until now. Lydia Abarca was a Black prima ballerina with a major international dance company — the Dance Theatre of Harlem, a troupe of women and men who became each other’s chosen family. Abarca and other trailblazing ballerinas performed in some of ballet’s most iconic works, including the young women who became her closest friends—founding Dance Theatre of Harlem members Gayle McKinney-Griffith and Sheila Rohan, as well as first-generation dancers Karlya Shelton and Marcia Sells.

Talk | Artist Talk: Graft


Artist Edra Soto will be joined by Carla Acevedo-Yates, Marilyn and Larry Fields Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Marcela Guerrero, DeMartini Family Curator, Whitney Museum of American Art; and Melanie Kress, Senior Curator, Public Art Fund for a conversation hosted on the occasion of Graft, Soto’s first large-scale public art exhibition in New York City. The discussion will delve into the themes of architecture and belonging explored in Soto’s Public Art Fund commission, which, like many of her sculptures and installations, draws from the rejas—patterned wrought iron gates—found in post-war Puerto Rican architecture. In consideration of Soto’s longtime explorations of the built environment, the artist and curators will discuss ways that Soto’s sculptures and installations have been presented and interpreted both in private museums and the public realm. The talk will examine how her decade-long project Graft engages with ideas of cultural memory, Afro-Caribbean heritage, and the complex feelings of both connection and dislocation that accompany migration. This event offers an opportunity to reflect on how art can create spaces for community and dialogue within the urban landscape of New York City.

Opera | Moby-Dick from Sea to Stage: Opera Excerpts and Discussion (online)


The Met Opera returns for an evening of conversation and performance inspired by the New York premiere of Moby-Dick. Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick was met with mixed reviews and poor sales when it was published in 1851. By 1891, the year Melville died, it had sold fewer than 4,000 copies, drastically underperforming much of his other work.

One of the oldest continuously used City Halls in the nation that still houses its original governmental functions, New York's City Hall is considered one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. Constructed from 1803 to 1812, the building was an early expression of the City's cosmopolitanism. City Hall is a designated New York City landmark, and its rotunda is a designated interior landmark as well.

Discussion | Israel on Our Minds with Ambassador Ido Aharoni (in-person and online)


Even those of us who follow the news from Israeli regularly are left with more questions than insight: How should we think about Israel security in the face of a rapidly changing Middle East? What is the government doing in response to the worldwide condemnation of the Jewish State . . . and what could it do? Has the Start-Up Nation sputtered out? Can the breach between the religious and the secular populations be healed -- and how? Does the Israeli government take the concerns and opinions of the Jewish diaspora seriously enough? Should it? With so many questions -- and so much confusion -- they have recruited the ideal person to pull back the curtain on the complicated situation: an Israel diplomat, university professor, writer and investor, Ido Aharoni.

Lecture | Love and Betrayal. The German-Jewish Artist Fritz Ascher (1893-1970) (online)


Rachel Stern will present insights into the art and life of the German-Jewish artist Fritz Ascher (1893-1970) survived two world wars and persecution by the National Socialist regime. A close observer of the horrors of World War I and revolutionary unrest, he turned to Christian spiritual themes, which he radically reinterpreted. In intimate drawings, he dealt with the theme of love and betrayal from 1916 onward, both in his exploration of the crucifixion theme and with the figure of Bajazzo in the tragicomic opera “I Pagliacci.” Ascher’s strong and unique artistic voice is evident not only in his artwork, but also in his poems. These were written when he was no longer allowed to work under National Socialism because of his Jewish roots and as a representative of modernism, and had to go into hiding for years to avoid deportation.

Lecture | The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman's Bank, with History Professor (online)


In the aftermath of the Civil War, former slaves deposited millions into the Freedman's Bank, hoping it would foster economic growth. However, just nine years later, the bank collapsed due to betrayal by its white financiers, not its Black leadership. Historian Justene Hill Edwards uncovers this pivotal moment in American history, revealing the setback it caused in the struggle for economic autonomy and offering a new interpretation of the bank's failure. "Savings and Trust" explores the bank's impact on racial economic inequality in America.

Poetry Reading | A Calligraphy of Days: Award-Winning Poems


Award-winning Polish poet Krzysztof Siwczyk and translator Piotr Fiorczyk discuss a new book which gathers sixty-four poems spanning his career. Born in 1977, Siwczyk has lived most of his life in the Silesian city of Gliwice. In 1995, he became a wunderkind of the Polish poetry scene with his debut volume Wild Kids, an edgy and unsentimental narrative of youthful tribulations and urban malaise during Poland’s transition from communism to capitalism. Siwczyk’s poems careen down the page at great speed, relying on clever turns of phrase or an idea that illuminates a larger meaning. As in calligraphy, a meandering subterranean process connects meaning and memory, thought and verse. Teased to the surface, words and images emerge in rapid, terse, and precise bursts. Throughout his career, Siwczyk has never ceased to challenge our sense of who we are—changing course multiple times in the process. Following several volumes full of expansive lines, his most recent works offer spare meditations on illness and grief. Clipped and understated, these post-Holocaust poems address our inability to speak of death and tragedy.

Film | Union: The Best of All Days (2024): Inside a Soccer Club


In 2019, a tongue-in-cheek banner reading “Shit, we’re moving up!” hung in the Alten Försterei stadium, home to the second division soccer club 1. FC Union Berlin. Four German national league-years later, the East German soccer club qualified for the Champions League, achieving something that only few had believed possible. As strong feelings of euphoria at the recent success arose, so too did pressure for the soccer club to continue to perform well, both in athletic and economic terms, as well as a fear that the tension between tradition and change could lead to a burgeoning identity crisis. The fact that the underdog soccer club from the Berlin district of Köpenick is able to maintain its magic, is based in large part on the tireless efforts of the people behind the scenes who keep the place running with great enthusiasm. Also central to these efforts is a loyal following of fans who are willing to actively shape the path of their club . But Union: The Best of All Days is more than a film about soccer. It manages a deep dive into the “engine room” of the 1. FC Union Berlin. The director accompanied the club over two years, culminating in it joining into the Champions League, and provides a unique , very personal, and authentic look at the club’s inner workings. This documentary is a moving and sympathetic portrait about the best of all days in the history of this resolute soccer club.   Director: Annekatrin Hendel  119 min. In German with English subtitles Followed by a conversation with the filmmaker

Toulouse-Lautrec was working in Paris during two of the most significant antisemitic scandals of 19th-century France—the Panama Canal Scandal and the Dreyfus affair. How did Lautrec handle the controversies in his art? Was he on the right side of history? The answer is ambiguous.

Discussion | The Joffrey Methodology: Demonstration and Conversation


Robert Joffrey was a renowned and sought-after teacher who attracted students and dancers from very different backgrounds. His admirers included international ballet stars like Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn, and Erik Bruhn, modern and postmodern icons such as Carmen de Lavallade and Yvonne Rainer, and young aspiring dancers —even Madonna, Patrick Swayze, Ann Reinking, and Charlize Theron. Joffrey was known for his logical, anatomically sound, eclectic approach, which differed from the prevailing methods of the time. He also hand-picked and mentored future teachers—some of whom will be  leading a demonstration on Joffrey's methodology. Former Joffrey company artist Nicole Duffy leads a conversation giving a glimpse into training with Joffrey. Registration required.

Book Discussion | Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America


February 27, 2025 is the 165th anniversary of the Right Makes Might speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln to a New York City audience. A speech of great consequence, it has been credited with propelling the then-Illinois statesman to the White House.  To mark the occasion, The Cooper Union is pleased to present Steve Inskeep, the author of Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America and cohost of NPR’s Morning Edition, in conversation with ABC News anchor Linsey Davis about a great politician's strategy in a country divided and lessons for our own disorderly present. Many of Lincoln’s greatest acts came about through his engagement with people who disagreed with him; for better or worse, Inskeep argues, that's what democracy requires.

After a disastrous trip to the seaside, during which Dino’s lover leaves him, and a visit to the grandmother’s house, an encounter with an industrialist further ruins the father’s already shaky reputation. At the end of the day, after returning his son to his ex-wife, Dino is left to call his lover to beg for forgiveness.

Book Discussion | Power and Possession in the Russian Revolution: Reimagining the Bolsheviks


The revolutions of 1917 swept away not only Russia’s governing authority but also the property order on which it stood. The upheaval sparked waves of dispossession that rapidly moved beyond the seizure of factories and farms from industrialists and landowners, envisioned by Bolshevik revolutionaries, to penetrate the bedrock of social life: the spaces where people lived. Author Anne O’Donnell reimagines the Bolsheviks’ unprecedented effort to eradicate private property and to create a new political economy—socialism—to replace it.

Discussion | Malcolm 100X: A Radical Centenary


May 19, 2025 is the 100th anniversary of Malcolm X's birth. This event celebrates Malcolm X's global legacy on Black nationalism, internationalism, and anti-colonial and anti-imperial movements. The celebration includes two academic panels, artistic installations, and community discussions. "Women of Color and Malcolm X's Enduring Legacy" This panel examines the profound impact that Black women had on Malcolm X's political thought as well as the enduring influence of his legacy on diverse women of color worldwide. Moderated by Dr. Mona Oraby, the first conversation features Mapping Malcolm editor Najha Zigbi-Johnson and Afro-Caribbean American Muslim artist Nsenga Knight, both of whom draw upon their creative practice and writing to explore how Black women shaped Malcolm's evolving understanding of Black radicalism and internationalism. The second conversation highlights Dr. Maytha Alhassen and Dr. Denise Lim both of whom discuss how Malcolm X's legacy continues to inspire Black-Arab and Black-Asian solidarities today. "Malcolm X, Internationalist" The centenary of Malcolm X's birth offers a unique opportunity to explore his profound international impact beyond U.S. borders. This panel will analyze Malcolm's advocacy for African Americans at the United Nations--linking U.S. racism to internal colonialism, his relationship with the Islamic world and his trips to Africa, and his engagement with intellectuals and activists from outside the US not only influenced his perspectives on global liberation movements and socialism, but his relevance to contemporary political movements. The panelists are academics Robyn Spencer-Antoine (Wayne State University), Kevin Gaines (University of Virginia), Ben Talton (Howard University) and Michael Sawyer (University of Pittsburgh). Hisham Aidi (Columbia University) will chair.

Book Discussion | Revolting Indolence: The Politics of Slacking, Lounging, and Daydreaming in Queer and Trans Culture


Marcos Gonsalez's book makes a case for laziness as an aesthetic-political strategy for countering the oppressive logics of cisheteronormative racial capitalism. Focusing on ways in which queer and trans Latinx people demonstrate the unwillingness of their participation in “productivist” ethics and allied respectability politics, Gonsalez argues that slacking off, lounging, daydreaming, and partying are liberatory practices—revolts that in turn are treated as revolting.

Concert | Afro-Cuban Singer-Songwriter's Contemporary Latin Soul


Afro-Cuban singer-songwriter Dayme Arocena has definitively established herself as one of the most innovative and consistent creators on the contemporary Latin soul music scene. An early musical export from the Cuban thaw of the 2010s, the Havana-born Arocena's full-throated voice, cunning self-orchestrations, and endlessly curious explorations into melody have yielded discerning listeners a treasure trove of original songs, most recently from her stellar 2024 album Alkemi.

Concert | Korean Mouth Organ, Piano, Cello: A Blend of Genres


One of Korea's foremost saenghwang players Hyo-young Kim continually pushes the boundaries of saenghwang music, boldly exploring new instrumentation and blending genres beyond traditional frameworks. For this concert, titled Herstory, Kim will be joined by Lucia Ahn, Piano, Maria Ahn, Cello. "Herstory," tells multiple stories--the story of the angel holding the saenghwang, the story of Hyo-young Kim, and the evolving story of music expressed through this extraordinary instrument. The saenghwang is a free-reed mouth organ with a windchest. Constructed from bamboo pipes, each fitted with a metal reed, the instrument produces sound when air passes through it as the musician inhales and exhales, similar to a harmonica.

Opening Reception | John Zorn Live Concert: New Masada Quartet


The exhibition John Zorn: Hermetic Cartography will be accompanied by a series of musical performances curated by Zorn that will be held in the exhibition. For this performance by New Masada Quartet, Zorn will be joined by Julian Lage (guitar), Jorge Roeder (bass) and Kenny Wollesen (drums). Known predominantly as a groundbreaking figure in New York’s avant-garde and experimental music scenes, John Zorn has long been celebrated for his radical innovations in music. However, his abstract drawings—a private language of symbols and notations—have remained a closely guarded secret. Offering profound insight into Zorn’s creative mind, Hermetic Cartography reveals a new dimension of his artistic practice by showcasing works on paper that span seven decades of his visionary engagement with mark-making, improvisation, and the esoteric.
