SUMMARY:Guggenheim Mind's Eye: Harmony and Dissonance
DESCRIPTION:The Guggenheim celebrates the ideas\, people\, and art at the core of its mission by offering virtual and in-person Mind’s Eye programming for participants who are blind or have low vision. Join us this month for a second tour of the exhibition Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris\, 1910–1930. Prior attendance at the first program in November is not necessary to enjoy this new exploration\, which features additional artworks. \nOrphism emerged in the early 1910s\, when the innovations brought about by modern life were radically altering conceptions of time and space. Artists connected to Orphism engaged with ideas of simultaneity in kaleidoscopic compositions\, investigating the transformative possibilities of color\, form\, and motion. Selected works by artists including Robert Delaunay\, Sonia Delaunay\, Marcel Duchamp\, Mainie Jellett\, František Kupka\, Francis Picabia\, and Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso\, and by the Synchromists Stanton Macdonald-Wright and Morgan Russell\, will be on view. \nThis month’s Mind’s Eye programming will be led by artist and educator Maya Jeffereis through verbal description and conversation. The virtual session will be accessible by web link or by dial-in phone number\, depending on your preference. \nThe same program will be offered twice virtually and twice in person; please RSVP for only one session. \nIn-person programs: \n\nMonday\, March 3\, 6:30-8:30pm Eastern\nWednesday\, March 5\, 2:00-4:00pm Eastern\n\nVirtual programs: \n\nMonday\, March 10\, 6:30-8:30pm Eastern\nWednesday\, March 12\, 2:00-4:00pm Eastern\n\nFree\, but space is limited. RSVP is required three days before the program. To RSVP\, call 212 360 4355 or email access@guggenheim.org.

SUMMARY:Tribute to Poly Styrene
DESCRIPTION:This year’s American Songbook celebrates the voices of women and nonbinary performers who have not only shaped the landscape of music\, but have also driven important conversations on gender\, identity\, and empowerment. Galvanized by a Sex Pistols concert\, the UK-born Marion Elliot adapted the sobriquet Poly Styrene\, formed a band and then promptly changed the history of rock by recording the seminal punk anthem Oh Bondage! Up Yours! Poly Styrene would only release one album in the 1970s\, but Germ Free Adolescents would prove to be one of the most influential LPs of its era. For this evening of music by and inspired by Poly Styrene and her band X-Ray Spex\, the American Songbook band—featuring Keyanna Hutchinson (guitar)\, Barbara Duncan (percussion)\, Flora Lucini (bass)\, and Elenna Canlas (keyboards and vocals)—will be joined by an array of musical luminaries\, all paying their respects to a true punk pioneer.

SUMMARY:Explicit!!!
DESCRIPTION:Reception Friday\, Apr 25 from 6-8p \nCuchifritos Gallery is very pleased to present Explicit!!!\, featuring new work by NYC-based artist Sue Jeong Ka on view from April 25 through June 21\, 2025. \nExplicit!!! builds on Ka’s ongoing investigation of the censorship practices within the U.S. carceral system\, focusing on publication bans across 26 states. Through her research\, Ka reveals how book censorship operates as a tool of racial\, sexual\, and cultural control. She illuminates biases that specifically target works by marginalized authors\, especially those presenting sexually liberal narratives or culturally non-Western perspectives. \nFor this exhibition\, AAI LES Studio Program alum (2023) Ka presents a series of site-responsive works\, including kinetic sculptures\, large-scale wall installations\, and a public program series that fosters vibrant dialogue among artists\, researchers\, and community members in the Lower East Side and Chinatown. These works invite visitors to reflect not only on prison censorship but also on the broader patterns of content suppression in public education and cultural institutions—systems intricately intertwined with the policing of racial and sexual knowledge. \nThe core of Explicit!!! is Ka’s data analysis of manga—a genre of comics and graphic novels predominantly created by East Asian artists. Across various state prison systems\, manga is frequently classified as “sexually explicit\,” leading to its prohibition in prison libraries and preventing its distribution to incarcerated readers. In parallel\, New York City public schools have removed manga titles like “Assassination Classroom\,” citing moral concerns regarding their content. These acts of censorship—whether in prisons or schools—are not isolated incidents; they embody a broader infrastructure that dictates which stories are acceptable and whose cultural expressions are silenced.

SUMMARY:Off-Broadway Mask Required Performances - HOLD ME IN THE WATER at Playwrights Horizons
DESCRIPTION:Hold Me in the Water \nWritten and performed by Ryan J. Haddad\nDirected by Danny Sharron \nAbout Hold Me in the Water: When Ryan falls for a man he just met\, he’s ready for the romance of his dreams. But as their connection grows\, Ryan learns that new heights of joy can bring deep insecurities to the surface. Disarmingly vulnerable and playfully provocative\, Hold Me in the Water is a funny and tender solo play about the passion and intimacy of first love. \nRegarding Mask Required Performances: \nHold Me in the Water is a show grounded in disability cultural values. In much of disability culture\, we practice collective care to protect each other. One easy way to protect others from viral illness is by wearing a mask. Masks are required at the following performances (dates subject to change): \n\nWednesday\, April 16th\, 7:30PM\nSaturday\, April 26th\, 2:30PM\nWednesday\, April 30th\, 7:30PM\nSaturday\, May 3rd\, 2:30PM\n\nFor these dates\, we ask that you please wear a mask to help protect you\, those around you\, and the company. If you do not have a mask\, one can be provided by any member of the theater staff. \nThank you from the company of Hold Me In the Water.
