SUMMARY:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try
DESCRIPTION:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the 20th-century artist and Holocaust survivor Boris Lurie. Centered around his earliest work\, the so-called War Series\, as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from Lurie’s personal archive\, the exhibition presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma\, haunting memories\, and an elusive\, lifelong quest for freedom. In drawing together artistic practice and historical chronicle\, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is fertile new territory for the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, offering a survivor’s searing visual testimony within a significant art historical context. The Museum is open Wednesday\, Thursday\, and Sunday from 11 AM – 7 PM ET through October 17. The Museum is closed on Jewish holidays and on Thanksgiving. As of October 18\, the Museum will be open Sunday and Wednesday: 10 AM to 5 PM; Thursday\, 10 AM to 8 PM; and Friday\, 10 AM to 3 PM.

SUMMARY:St. Eustatius and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Fraunces Tavern Museum and Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society. In 1776\, the US vessel Andrew Doria sailed to the Dutch island of Sint Eustatius carrying a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Upon its arrival\, the island’s governor provided a formal cannon salute to the ship’s patriot flag\, marking the first acknowledgement of the United States’ sovereignty. In this presentation\, Sergio Villavicencio\, Vice President of the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society and Chair of the NYC Semiquincentennial Committee\, will delve into the early relationship between the United States and Sint Eustatius\, which critically supplied the patriots’ cause by smuggling the necessary goods to keep the American Revolution going\, and how the island’s fate years later decisively affected the end of the Revolutionary War. This lecture will take place via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Gibney Deeper Duet: Talvin Wilks + Melanie George
DESCRIPTION:Permission\, appropriation or trespassing – the tricky terrain of 2 Black Dramaturgs in the current “We See You” performance landscape told through personal case studies\, observations\, rants\, riffs and realizations. Melanie George and Talvin Wilks\, friends\, colleagues\, and confidantes\, will talk their way through the current cultural moment from their vantage points as Dramaturgs While Black (DWB). Utilizing\, purposefully\, a Black lens to view the American Theatre and Dance industries\, the conversation seeks to navigate the concept of appropriation vs. elucidation in the choices that many BIPOC dramaturgs have made and continue to have to make in this era of reckoning\, solidarity and wokeness. In it they question and challenge their own responsibility and accountability to Black artists and address some of the systemic traps and tropes in the process. Working from the inter- and intra-personal\, the artists plan to rant\, riff and tee hee through this tricky terrain of being Black in white spaces and living to tell the tale.
