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:A Christmas Carol
DESCRIPTION:PAC NYC brings the acclaimed production of A Christmas Carol from London’s The Old Vic to New York in a uniquely intimate staging. Two visionary Tony Award® winners—playwright Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child\, Netflix’s Adolescence)\, director Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical\, God of Carnage)—offer a magical interpretation of Charles Dickens’ timeless classic. Brimming with merriment\, tasty treats\, and holiday cheer\, this immersive production wraps the audience around the action\, inviting the communal holiday spirit in us all. On a bitter Christmas Eve\, a cold-hearted miser is visited by four ghosts. Transported to worlds past\, present\, and future\, Ebenezer Scrooge witnesses what a lifetime of fear and selfishness has led to and sees with fresh eyes the lonely life he has built for himself. Can Ebenezer be saved before it’s too late? Various times.

SUMMARY:Es Devlin: Congregation
DESCRIPTION:Congregation\, a choral installation\, features large-scale chalk and charcoal portraits of 50 Londoners who have experienced forced displacement from their homelands. Presented as a projection-mapped tiered sculpture\, the work offers a luminous encounter with those who bring their gifts to a new country. The work was co-authored by the 50 portrait sitters – reflecting on their lives in London\, as well as their journeys from more than 25 countries\, including Syria\, Sudan\, Ukraine\, and Afghanistan. The accompanying soundscape is composed by Polyphonia\, with film sequences created in collaboration with filmmaker Ruth Hogben and choreographer Botis Seva.

SUMMARY:The History of Antisemitism: “The Great Christmas Boycott of 1906”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a compelling online book talk with historian Scott D. Seligman\, author of The Great Christmas Boycott of 1906\, as he unpacks a dramatic and little known chapter in American Jewish history. Set in New York at the dawn of the twentieth century\, this meticulously researched account begins in the winter of 1905-1906 when a Brooklyn elementary school principal urged his Jewish students to be “more like Jesus Christ\,” sparking outrage in the community and inspiring mass mobilization. What followed was a citywide boycott of public school Christmas pageants by Jewish families\, a protest that triggered an enormous antisemitic backlash and raised urgent questions about religion\, identity\, and citizenship in the United States.  Seligman’s book details how the Jewish community of New York\, led by activist Albert Lucas and backed by Orthodox\, Reform\, and immigrant voices alike\, refused to remain silent. They challenged the public school system\, pressured the school board to limit sectarian religious practices in schools\, and confronted the backlash head-on. In doing so\, they forged a formative model for how American Jews engaged with public schooling\, the boundaries of religious expression\, and the meaning of belonging.

SUMMARY:“The Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:In 1943\, the German SS officers in charge of Auschwitz-Birkenau ordered that an orchestra should be formed among the female prisoners. Forty-seven women and girls from eleven nations were drafted into a hurriedly assembled band that would play to other inmates as they left each morning and as they returned at the end of the day. They were also made to give weekly concerts for Nazi officers\, and members were sometimes summoned to give individual performances of an officer’s favorite piece of music. For almost all of the musicians chosen to take part\, the orchestra was to save their lives. But at what cost? Anne Sebba’s The Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz tells this story.
