SUMMARY:Liminal Lives: Trans between Weimar and Nazi Germany
DESCRIPTION:The story of trans life under Nazism is anticipated as tragic. Following the hard-won recognitions of gay and lesbian victims of the Holocaust and in the maelstrom of contemporary global attacks on trans existence\, scholarly and public investments in this history are at their apex—provoking debates in the German Bundestag and libel cases. Yet the content of this history remains largely unknown. Using granular archival research\, Zavier Nunn’s first book\, Liminal Lives: Trans between Weimar and Nazi Germany\, explores the micro and macro registers of how everyday trans life was experienced\, policed\, and cut short across the Weimar and Nazi regimes\, sometimes in surprising—but always uneven—ways. This talk sketches out the contours and stakes of this monograph\, the first definitive work on trans life before and after the Nazi’s rise to power.

SUMMARY:Jake Owen and Mark McIntyre
DESCRIPTION:Jake Owen and Mark McIntyre have been cultivating their friendship and musical unity in New York City since meeting in the downtown art-rock scene in 2015. Since then\, they have been developing their rare guitar symbiosis and taste for adventurous songwriting in off-hours recording sessions and through Mark’s long-term residency at the 55 Bar in Greenwich Village. Together\, they craft a new sound that lives somewhere between hypnotic Radiohead-style grooves\, Elliot Smith’s thoughtful intimacy\, and the electric spontaneity of Jimi Hendrix.
