SUMMARY:Robert Glasper + Alain Pérez
DESCRIPTION:This can’t-miss opening night of Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City features two performances from major contemporary superstars\, offering a vision of a spectacularly full musical future defined by genius and limitless possibility. Over an already storied 20-year career\, the multiple GRAMMY Award-winning producer\, composer\, pianist\, and culture creator Robert Glasper has seamlessly reintegrated the intersecting spirits of modern jazz\, R&B\, and Hip-Hop. Glasper’s Black Radio album project ushered in a generation of listeners for whom genre means far less than musicality. Next to hit the stage is Cuban bassist and polymath musician Alain Pérez\, who joins us as part of his Bingo summer tour. The Latin GRAMMY Award winner\, Alain Pérez & La Orquesta\, has earned an international reputation as a creative innovator whose Latin roots provide a foundation for bold expression and expansion.

SUMMARY:Book club with Joan: Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker
DESCRIPTION:Book: Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker \nChava is a golem\, a creature made of clay\, brought to life by a disgraced rabbi who dabbles in dark Kabbalistic magic\, created to be the wife of a man who dies at sea on the voyage from Poland. Chava is unmoored and adrift as the ship arrives in New York harbor in 1899. Ahmad is a jinni\, a being of fire born in the ancient Syrian desert\, trapped in an old copper flask\, and released in New York City\, though still not entirely free. \nAhmad and Chava become unlikely friends and soul mates with a mystical connection. Marvelous and compulsively readable\, Helene Wecker’s debut novel The Golem and the Jinni weaves strands of Yiddish and Middle Eastern literature\, historical fiction and magical fable\, into a wondrously inventive and unforgettable tale. \nThis book is available from NLS as DB76801 for audio. Download it through BARD at nlsbard.loc.gov\, the BARD Mobile app\, or request them from your local NLS library. This book is also available in digital braille if you are a Bookshare member\, and we can emboss it for you if you would like it in hard copy braille.    \nTo register\, or if you have any access needs or require ASL interpretation\, contact us at register@jbilibrary.org or 646-616-3929.

SUMMARY:Voices of a People's History
DESCRIPTION:The works of Brooklyn-born author and historian Howard Zinn (1922–2010)\, particularly the classic bestsellers A People’s History of the United States and Voices of a People’s History of the United States\, continue to shine a light on the extraordinary history of those engaged in struggles for freedom and justice in America. Since 2014\, Lincoln Center has collaborated with Voices of a People’s History\, a non-profit organization of artists and educators who seek to keep Zinn’s message of grassroots egalitarianism alive. The heroic voices featured in Zinn’s books will be brought to life in performance by a chorus of young student activists who have been mentored by artist-activists to find personal meaning in these timeless texts. Using the words of the rebels\, dissenters\, and visionaries of our past and present as a blueprint\, this evening will inspire us all to take collective action to shape our future

SUMMARY:Closing Night – Under Siege: The Perils of Journalism in an Age of State Repression

Patricia Evangelista will be joining virtually.

SUMMARY:Writing as Resistance
DESCRIPTION:In times of political upheaval\, displacement and erasure\, writing becomes a powerful tool of resistance. Join Uyghur poet and memoirist Tahir Hamut Izgil (Waiting to Be Arrested at Night) and Iraqi American poet Dunya Mikhail (Tablets: Secrets of the Clay) as they discuss how their writing challenges dominant political narratives and preserves stories of displacement\, exile and perseverance. \nIn his memoir Waiting to Be Arrested at Night\, Tahir Hamut Izgil documents the Chinese government’s persecution of the Uyghur people and his time in a labor-camp. In Dunya Mikhail’s poetry collection Tablets: Secrets of Clay\, she explores the memories and legacies of her families’ exile from Iraq while looking back at Iraqi history. Moderated by novelist Mojgan Ghazirad (The House on Sun Street)\, this panel will delve into the urgency of documenting personal and collective experiences and how the act of writing both engenders change and urges us towards a future of complex understanding.

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.
