SUMMARY:Metamorphosis: Chinese Imagination and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Opening day of a new exhibition that highlights works by 28 contemporary artists of Chinese descent\, who explore themes of personal\, cultural\, historical and material metamorphosis in dynamic and innovative ways. Across painting\, sculpture\, photography\, animation and installation art\, these works by established and emerging artists of different generations and backgrounds use experimentation to draw on both Eastern and Western art-making practices and materials. Many of the works will be seen in the U.S. for the first time. Important commissions include new paintings by Sun Xun and an immersive Dream Chamber by Bingyi. The exhibition is organized very loosely around four themes: “Metamorphosis of the Body and Self”\, “Metamorphosis of the Environment and Natural World”\, “Historical and Cultural Metamorphosis”\, and “Spiritual Metamorphosis”.

SUMMARY:“We Will Dance Again” Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Friendship\, love\, peace and freedom—these ideals drew young hearts from around the globe to Nova’s EDM music festival in the South of Israel. But as the sun rose on October 7th\, the fantasy shattered. Rockets sliced through the sky\, and the dancing stopped. We Will Dance Again is a stark portrayal of the experiences of those who survived and those who didn’t. The film meticulously reconstructs the events\, capturing the raw emotions and heroism that emerged. The screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with Shalev Bitton\, a survivor of the massacre at the Nova Festival\, and Yunnis Alkarnawi\, a Bedouin Israeli who saved Shalev and seven others from the Nova festival\, and also saved twenty-four Thai farm workers.

SUMMARY:Works on Water: A Conversation on Water Art and Maritime Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Join the Seaport Museum and artists Sarah Cameron Sunde\, Carolyn Hall\, Clarinda Mac Low\, and Nancy Nowaceck\, representing Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Works on Water 2025 Triennial\, for an evening conversation exploring the intersections of maritime heritage and contemporary “Water Art.” As part of the discussion\, the artists will highlight Walking the Edge—a citywide project that invites New Yorkers to collectively walk all 520 miles of the city’s coastline. Framing walking as a creative act\, Walking the Edge encourages participants of all ages and abilities to experience the waterfront with attention\, intention\, and renewed perspective. In collaboration with Works on Water\, the Seaport Museum has added three contemporary Water Art pieces on view interspersed throughout the Maritime City exhibition as an intervention and reaction to the Museum’s collection. Attendees are invited to view these works beginning at 5:30pm\, before the program starts\, or after the conversation until the galleries close at 7:30pm. The growing genre of Water Art is an environmental art form of the 21st century\, exploring themes of access\, exploitation\, conservation\, remediation\, and care. Featured artists include Mary Mattingly\, Sarah Cameron Sunde\, and the Works on Water Art Collective. These works are on loan courtesy of their creators. A wine reception will follow the program.
