Presented by The Orchestra Now (TŌN) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC
Sunday, March 1, 2026 2–4 pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC SibeliusFinlandia Sibelius Symphony No. 7 Artwork by Helene Schjerfbeck and others
Leon Botsteinconductor
In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes an introduction by a Met curator, a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, and a full performance of the works.
Beloved in Nordic countries for her highly original style, Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck overcame immense personal struggles working in a remote location for decades, producing a powerful body of work through sheer willpower. Over the years, her art shifted from traditional and realistic subjects to a simplified, spare style. The music of Schjerfbeck’s contemporary compatriot Jean Sibelius saw a similar change over time. His patriotic 1900 work Finlandia paints a clear picture of the historical progress of Finland and its bright future. By the time he finished his Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh symphonies 20 years later, Sibelius became increasingly concerned with paring down his music to the bare essentials.

Come together to remember and honored members of the disabled community we lost to filicide.
Monday, March 2, 2026 1–3 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Multipurpose Room In the past five years, over 548 people with disabilities have been murdered by their parents, relatives, or caregivers. Every year on March 1 (though our event is March 2, because March 1 is a Sunday), the disability community gathers across the nation to remember disabled victims of filicide—disabled people murdered by their family members or caregivers.
We see the same pattern repeating over and over again. A parent kills their disabled child. The media portrays these murders as justifiable and inevitable due to the “burden” of having a disabled person in the family. If the parent stands trial, they are given sympathy and comparatively lighter sentences, if they are sentenced at all. The victims are disregarded, blamed for their own murder at the hands of the person they should have been able to trust the most, and ultimately forgotten. And then the cycle repeats. Since 2012, disability rights organizations have come together at local vigils across the country to mourn those losses, bring awareness to these tragedies, and demand justice and equal protection under the law for all people with disabilities. On March 2, we will come together for the first time here at Bard, and we ask you to join us. For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

CCS Bard, Classroom 102 Nick Mauss is an artist whose work connects drawing, gesture, and implications of space with writing, performance, and display. His exhibition Transmissions at the Whitney Museum of American Art catalyzed a new poetics of the archive and historiography through highly innovative work with dancers, curators, art historians, conservators, artworks, collectors, librarians, artists, costume makers, and exhibition designers–where the entire infrastructure of making exhibitions was treated through the lens of performance. Mauss has also collaborated with artists including Ken Okiishi, Lorraine O’Grady, Juliana Huxtable, Kim Gordon, and Yvonne Rainer, among others. A volume of his selected essays on art, cinema, dance, and fashion, titled Dispersed Events, was published by After 8 Books, Paris, in 2024. Touching on the simultaneous modes of his practice, Mauss will narrate an artistic method of re-orientation through which counter-histories are proposed.

He holds a PhD from the Department of Art History at UCLA, and has written on art and photography for Aperture, Japan Forum and X-TRA in English, and for Tokyo Art Beat, Bijutsu Techō and Popeye Web in Japanese.

How Sexual Empowerment Gets in the Way of Liberation: A Listening Guide Analysis of Two Turkish Immigrant Women
Sedef Ozoguz, The New School
Thursday, March 5, 2026 4 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium In this presentation, Sedef Ozoguz, PhD will examine how contemporary sexual empowerment scripts can paradoxically get in the way of liberation, drawing on a feminist, voice-centered Listening Guide analysis of narratives from two Turkish immigrant women, Leyla and Elvin. Through close attention to shifting “voices” across each account, the analysis traces how culturally available discourses shape what becomes thinkable and sayable about sexuality, vulnerability, and agency. The Listening Guide analysis highlights how both Elvin and Leyla find themselves in binds they want to escape from: to lose her virginity without being vulnerable for Elvin, and to claim sexual empowerment without being categorized as a slut for Leyla. They both find solutions to these dilemmas, in which Elvin narrates taking her own virginity, while Leyla articulates a “subtle” sexuality grounded in ease, play, curiosity, and belonging. Tracing the absence of erotic voice across the interview, I argue that these narratives illuminate the limits of empowerment-as-solution frameworks, showing how dominant, contradictory, and incomplete hegemonic discourses of sexuality can both enable and constrain women’s possibilities for liberation.

Quantum Information Scrambling for Precision Metrology and Tests of Quantum Advantage
Greg Bentsen, The College of William & Mary
Friday, March 6, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Quantum technologies promise to revolutionize information processing and precision measurement tasks. Key to these applications is the generation of many-body entanglement, which describes correlations between particles that cannot be explained classically. Whereas conventional quantum algorithms — such as Shor’s algorithm for factoring large numbers — rely on highly structured patterns of entanglement, in this talk I will introduce a class of `scrambled’ quantum states featuring entanglement that is random and unstructured. These scrambled states can be generated from short random quantum circuits with randomly chosen gates at each step. Despite their lack of structure, the resulting many-body states can be harnessed for precision metrology applications and for establishing tests of quantum advantage over classical hardware.

Bard Hall Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

Online Event We're reading Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.

Hudson Valley Political Theory presents: The Social Costs of the Elite's Work Hours: An Egalitarian Case for Universal Work TIime Regulations
Julie L. Rose Professor of Government, Dartmouth College
Friday, March 6, 2026 5 pm
Lippman 100, Union College In the United States today,work is increasingly polarized around “good jobs” and “bad jobs”, generally following familiar patterns of social stratification.There is, however, a striking exception to the congruence between labor market polarization and socioeconomic inequality. That is, in the US today, the good jobs of the socially and economically advantaged are often marred by one undesirable feature: long work hours. If people have claims to limits on their work hours, should such claims apply universally, protecting even those workers who are otherwise advantaged? Or should highly-paid professionals be excepted, as they are in the Fair Labor Standards Act? Recent arguments in political philosophy support an ‘exempt the elite’ position. On this view, the elite’s long hours are acceptable, even desirable, because they generate tax revenue that can be redistributed to the less advantaged. I here challenge the position that the elite’s long hours should be welcomed by showing how their long hours generate a range of inegalitarian social costs. If the elite’s long hours are more detrimental than beneficial to the realization of broadly egalitarian commitments, there is an egalitarian justification for not exempting the elite from work time regulations.

Get a double dose of operatic comedy as Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi come to life in full production with the Bard College Vocal Arts Program in the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater.
Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball—his first staged opera—sparkles with comic invention and lyrical wit. Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi transforms a Dantean tale of fraud into a masterclass of operatic irony and memorable motifs. Both one-acts showcase composers at the height of craft, blending human folly, clever plotting, and musical sophistication. From Amelia’s scheming to Schicchi’s trickster brilliance, the evening rewards close attention and sharp ears alike. A double bill to delight, provoke thought, and remind even the most discerning minds why opera remains a rigorous, endlessly inventive art form.

Bard Hall Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

MES Spring Film Series Screening: Leila and the Wolves
Fractal Realities
Monday, March 9, 2026 6:30 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema Fractal Realities screening: A sweeping, poetic tribute to the enduring role of Arab women in liberation movements, Leila and the Wolves (1984) stands as Heiny Srour’s sole narrative feature. The film follows Leila (Nabila Zeitouni), a Lebanese woman living in London, who begins to uncover the often-ignored contributions of women within the larger revolutionary struggle. Blending archival footage with staged sequences, the film crafts a powerful feminist counter-history of resistance.
Heiny Srour is a Lebanese film director. She is best known for being the first female Arab filmmaker to have a film chosen for the Cannes Film Festival (The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived, 1974). Despite the film’s accolades and success at Cannes, The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived was banned in most of the Arab world for its socialist and feminist politics. Srour has advocated for women's rights through her films, her writing, and by funding other filmmakers. Her first feature film, Leila and the Wolves, also reflects her feminist politics and socialist politics.

Poetry as Praxis? Building Cabins and Living in Ruins with Jean-Marie Gleize
With André Pettman, Assistant Professor in French Studies at the University of Arizona
Tuesday, March 10, 2026 5:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 205 Can poetry be political practice? This talk attends to this question through examination of the work of contemporary French poet Jean-Marie Gleize. Throughout his recent poetry, Gleize draws on a recurrent motif, the cabin, connecting it with both contemporary French political struggles and theoretical notions of community. This talk will demonstrate how his sustained engagement with the cabin ultimately opens onto a conception of a radical form of community that is autonomous from the French state. Close formal readings reveal how Gleize is less concerned about what poetry is and more about what poetry does, treating it as a means of confronting the myriad crises and ruinous logics afflicting our contemporary world, from capitalist expansion to ecological devastation. Our discussion of Gleize’s work will culminate with consideration of how his poetry is conceived as a form of anti-institutional and anti-capitalist political practice that cultivates new modes of inhabiting the earth in its vulnerability.
André Pettman is Assistant Professor in French Studies at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, where he teaches contemporary French & Francophone literature. His current research examines twenty-first-century French literature as a site of radical political imagination.

Insights from a 25-Year Monetary Policy Experiment
Paul Sheard, Author of The Power of Money
Wednesday, March 11, 2026 11:30 am – 12:50 pm
Blithewood The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Levy Institute’s founding, and this event inaugurates a broader series of programs commemorating this significant milestone.
Veteran central bank watcher Paul Sheard will share his insights about Quantitative Easing as March marks a quarter of a century since the Bank of Japan launched this new form of monetary policy easing. Initially, a curiosity emanating from deflation-ridden Japan, QE was embraced big time by the Federal Reserve and other major central banks during the Global Financial Crisis and then again, on an even bigger scale, during the pandemic. Sheard will explain what QE is and how it works, and cast light on the confusions and controversies that surround it. He will explain why QT (Quantitative Tightening) gets less attention than QE, and why QE, together with an obscure legal change (the Fed and other central banks being able to pay interest on reserves), has changed monetary policy-making forever.

Bard Hall Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

The First Thing Authoritatirans Fear, A Talk by Ramón Zamora
Monday, March 23, 2026 5:30 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115 The first institutions targeted by authoritarian regimes are often journalists and independent media. When these voices are silenced, democracies lose their earliest warning system. Through the story of the persecution of renowned Guatemalan journalist José Rubén Zamora and the creation of the Central America Independent Media Archive (CAIMA), this talk reflects on why free expression acts as society’s early warning system, and how citizen action, memory, archives, and civic technology can protect truth when power tries to erase it.
Ramón Zamora is an anthropologist and sociologist, and former professor at the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, where he taught and researched the intersections of culture, communication, and technology. He led the design of digital formats and audience strategies at elPeriódico until the newspaper’s forced shutdown in 2023 amid the imprisonment of its director and the persecution of its newsroom. After relocating to the United States, he collaborated with the Russian Independent Media Archive (RIMA) and Bard College to launch the Central America Independent Media Archive (CAIMA), an initiative dedicated to preserving and safeguarding the region’s threatened independent journalism.
Supported by The Center for Civic Engagement, FLCL, Sociology, Human Rights, RIMA, and GHEA21. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Forge Project Talks: Marcel Pardo Ariza and Ambrose Trataris, co-founders of Art Handlxrs*
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 5–7 pm
CCS Bard, Classroom 102 A series co-presented by Forge Project and CCS Bard. In this talk, the co-founders of Art Handlxrs* — Marcel Pardo Ariza and Ambrose Trataris — will explore the future of art handling and the importance of care, coalition building, and diversity in the art world. They will discuss individual and collective efforts that improve the working conditions and sustainability of the industry with a specific focus on BIPOC, queer, non-binary and trans people, and women* in the professional arts industry as preparators, art handlxrs, technicians, fabricators, and other industry support roles.
Art Handlxrs* hopes that audiences will come away from this discussion with an expanded understanding of what an art handlxr looks like, broadening their own perspective and challenging assumptions that are widely accepted through the hegemonic identities of the art world.
Being an art handlxr is based on the act of caring — for an artwork, the artist’s intention, the needs of the institution, the upkeep of the space, and the experience of an audience. Why is this intentional care not an integral part of our labor practices? How can we create work environments that foster inclusivity and access to work for folx from a diverse range of experiences?
Forge Project Talks Forge Project Talks are part of a set of broader initiatives at Bard College that seek to place Native American and Indigenous Studies at the heart of curricular innovation, which includes programming organized by the Center for Indigenous Studies and the Rethinking Place initiative. These programs are made possible by the Forge Endowed Fund for Indigenous Studies at Bard College, generously supported by the Gochman Family Foundation along with George Soros and the Open Society Foundations.

Do Not Try to Bend the Spoon. There Is No Spoon: Mediating Shamanism and Myth in Contemporary Korean Culture
With Novelist Bo-Young Kim
Thursday, March 26, 2026 5 pm
Preston In this talk, Kim reveals how Korean shamanism, ghost lore, and myth, often invisible to Western audiences, continue to shape contemporary Korean science fiction and popular culture. From “evil ghosts” (ak-kwi) frequently mistaken for demons to K-pop idols reimagined as modern-day shamans, this talk reframes haunting and possession not as horror, but as transformation, embodiment, and ethical connection. Linking ancient myths such as Paridegi with global touchstones like The Matrix and Star Wars, Kim offers students and community members a rare lens for understanding Korean storytelling on its own terms.
Bo-Young Kim is a leading South Korean science fiction writer whose work has profoundly influenced a generation of emerging authors since the early 2000s. Her English-language collection I’m Waiting for You and Other Stories was published by HarperCollins, and her translated collection, On the Origin of Species and Other Stories, published by Kaya Press, was nominated for a National Book Award, among other publications. She also served as a scenario advisor for Bong Joon-ho’s SF film Snowpiercer.

Starr Cinema, Upstate Films, Rhinebeck, NY Two years after being released from Syrian jail, Hamid (break out star Adam Bessa) is making ends meet as a construction worker in the French city of Strasbourg, where, haunted by the memory of his imprisonment, the young man searches tirelessly for the man who tortured him, determined to get his revenge--but what's the real price of vengeance for the person seeking it? Inspired by true events, Jonathan Millet's deeply researched thriller excavates the too-little-examined moral dilemmas of today’s political landscape.
This festival is supported by a grant from Albertine Cinémathèque, part of the French for All initiative by Villa Albertine–The French Institute for Culture and Education, and Albertine Foundation. It is made possible with the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’Image Animée (CNC). All films will be introduced in English and shown with English subtitles.

A Monthly Series with the Democracy Innovation Hub

For the second installment of our monthly Democracy Innovation Academy, we will be joined by special guest Irad Malkin, author of Drawing Lots: From Egalitarianism to Democracy in Ancient Greece.
"We need to understand the Greek world of values, the frame of reference, and the egalitarian mindset associated with the lot. These features made its wide-ranging use possible and desirable in antiquity, as it may be today."
Professor Malkin will be discussing the second video in our YouTube series, featuring Roger Berkowitz, which you can watch here: Democracy Innovation Academy.
This is not a formal college course - it's a drop-in academy and networking opportunity for those hoping to learn more, or to connect with organizations, practitioners, or facilitators.

Jim Ottaway Jr. Film Center György Kurtág, a renowned contemporary composer and the last great figure of the post-war avantgarde, remains spiritually vibrant even in old age. Approaching his 100th birthday in 2026, Kurtág Fragments takes audiences on a journey through key places in his life—Transylvania, Budapest, Vienna, London, Prussia Cove, and Paris, where his magnum opus Fin de Partie premiered in 2022. Along the way, the film follows his collaborations with world-class musicians such as Víkingur Ólafsson, Steven Isserlis, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Blending intimate moments with breathtaking performances, it captures the almost mystical process through which Kurtág transforms emotion into music. This feature-length documentary is not only a portrait of an extraordinary artist but also a cinematic immersion into one of the most profound musical worlds of our time.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Free and open to the public.
PROGRAM
Preconcert Lecture with Gergely Fazekas "I compose to seek the truth": The Musical Universe of György Kurtág Sunday, March 29 at 1:30 pm Conservatory Performance Space “The final masterpiece of twentieth-century music.” Alex Ross, music critic for The New Yorker, so described György Kurtág’s first opera, Fin de partie, which premiered in 2018 at La Scala in Milan. What makes Kurtág one of the most important voices in contemporary music in the 21st century, despite his reluctance toward fame and recognition, and despite a career that was restricted for decades behind the Iron Curtain in communist Hungary? How does he think about music, and how does he frame the “truth” he seeks in composing? These are the questions that musicologist Gergely Fazekas, associate professor at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, seeks to answer.

Presented by The Orchestra Now (TŌN) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC
Sunday, March 29, 2026 2–4 pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC Mozart Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter” Artwork by Raphael and others
Leon Botsteinconductor
In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes an introduction by a Met curator, a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, and a full performance of the works.
Raffaello di Giovanni Santi (1483–1520)—better known as Raphael—was one of history’s most beloved and influential artists. A true titan of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael matched ambition with lyricism to create works with both intellectual heft and emotional depth, a necessary skill in the complex political landscape of Renaissance courts. In his short life of only 37 years, he achieved such profound success as a painter, designer, and architect that he was regarded as the pinnacle of artistic perfection for centuries after his death. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was himself one of the most prolific and influential artists of the Classical period. He gave piano concerts starting at age five and wrote his first opera at age 11. He composed more than 800 works by the time of his death at age 35. Mozart wrote dozens of symphonies, composing the final three over six weeks in the summer of 1788. The 41st, his last, puts on full display the extraordinary compositional technique he mastered over the course of his career. Both of these prodigies were driven by their quest for perfection, earning great acclaim for their skillful technique early in their short lives and leaving a legacy to which artists would aspire for centuries thereafter.
The exhibition Raphael: Sublime Poetry will be on view at The Met Fifth Avenue March 29 – June 28, 2026 in gallery 899.
Stevenson Athletic Center, Tennis Courts The Men's Tennis team competes against Skidmore College in the Morgan's Message match.

Presented by The Orchestra Now (TŌN) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC
Sunday, March 1, 2026 2–4 pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC SibeliusFinlandia Sibelius Symphony No. 7 Artwork by Helene Schjerfbeck and others
Leon Botsteinconductor
In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes an introduction by a Met curator, a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, and a full performance of the works.
Beloved in Nordic countries for her highly original style, Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck overcame immense personal struggles working in a remote location for decades, producing a powerful body of work through sheer willpower. Over the years, her art shifted from traditional and realistic subjects to a simplified, spare style. The music of Schjerfbeck’s contemporary compatriot Jean Sibelius saw a similar change over time. His patriotic 1900 work Finlandia paints a clear picture of the historical progress of Finland and its bright future. By the time he finished his Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh symphonies 20 years later, Sibelius became increasingly concerned with paring down his music to the bare essentials.

Come together to remember and honored members of the disabled community we lost to filicide.
Monday, March 2, 2026 1–3 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Multipurpose Room In the past five years, over 548 people with disabilities have been murdered by their parents, relatives, or caregivers. Every year on March 1 (though our event is March 2, because March 1 is a Sunday), the disability community gathers across the nation to remember disabled victims of filicide—disabled people murdered by their family members or caregivers.
We see the same pattern repeating over and over again. A parent kills their disabled child. The media portrays these murders as justifiable and inevitable due to the “burden” of having a disabled person in the family. If the parent stands trial, they are given sympathy and comparatively lighter sentences, if they are sentenced at all. The victims are disregarded, blamed for their own murder at the hands of the person they should have been able to trust the most, and ultimately forgotten. And then the cycle repeats. Since 2012, disability rights organizations have come together at local vigils across the country to mourn those losses, bring awareness to these tragedies, and demand justice and equal protection under the law for all people with disabilities. On March 2, we will come together for the first time here at Bard, and we ask you to join us. For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

CCS Bard, Classroom 102 Nick Mauss is an artist whose work connects drawing, gesture, and implications of space with writing, performance, and display. His exhibition Transmissions at the Whitney Museum of American Art catalyzed a new poetics of the archive and historiography through highly innovative work with dancers, curators, art historians, conservators, artworks, collectors, librarians, artists, costume makers, and exhibition designers–where the entire infrastructure of making exhibitions was treated through the lens of performance. Mauss has also collaborated with artists including Ken Okiishi, Lorraine O’Grady, Juliana Huxtable, Kim Gordon, and Yvonne Rainer, among others. A volume of his selected essays on art, cinema, dance, and fashion, titled Dispersed Events, was published by After 8 Books, Paris, in 2024. Touching on the simultaneous modes of his practice, Mauss will narrate an artistic method of re-orientation through which counter-histories are proposed.

Olin Humanities, Room 102 Nakahira Takuma was a Japanese photographer and writer best known outside of Japan as a founding member of the experimental magazine Provoke, who wrote on a range of topics including film, literature, politics, television, and more across a decades-long career as a critic. A new collection, At the Limits of the Gaze: Selected Writings by Takuma Nakahira, just published by Aperture, makes Nakahira's criticism from the years 1970-1976 available in English for the first time. Co-editors and translators Daniel Abbe and Franz Prichard will be in conversation to discuss Nakahira's engagements with contemporary art, media theory, and cinema, as well as his relentless interrogation of photography's relationship to power, and the connections between language, images, and the gaze.
Daniel Abbe teaches at Temple University in Kyoto and the Osaka University of Arts. He holds a PhD from the Department of Art History at UCLA, and has written on art and photography for Aperture, Japan Forum and X-TRA in English, and for Tokyo Art Beat, Bijutsu Techō and Popeye Web in Japanese. He also regularly translates materials related to the archive of the photographer Ōtsuji Kiyoji.
Franz Prichard is Associate Professor of Japanese Studies at Florida State University and the author of Residual Futures: The Urban Ecologies of Literary and Visual Media of 1960s and 1970s Japan (Columbia University Press, 2019). His current research develops transcultural and ecocritical approaches to the study of contemporary Japanese literature, photography, and other visual media.

How Sexual Empowerment Gets in the Way of Liberation: A Listening Guide Analysis of Two Turkish Immigrant Women
Sedef Ozoguz, The New School
Thursday, March 5, 2026 4 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium In this presentation, Sedef Ozoguz, PhD will examine how contemporary sexual empowerment scripts can paradoxically get in the way of liberation, drawing on a feminist, voice-centered Listening Guide analysis of narratives from two Turkish immigrant women, Leyla and Elvin. Through close attention to shifting “voices” across each account, the analysis traces how culturally available discourses shape what becomes thinkable and sayable about sexuality, vulnerability, and agency. The Listening Guide analysis highlights how both Elvin and Leyla find themselves in binds they want to escape from: to lose her virginity without being vulnerable for Elvin, and to claim sexual empowerment without being categorized as a slut for Leyla. They both find solutions to these dilemmas, in which Elvin narrates taking her own virginity, while Leyla articulates a “subtle” sexuality grounded in ease, play, curiosity, and belonging. Tracing the absence of erotic voice across the interview, I argue that these narratives illuminate the limits of empowerment-as-solution frameworks, showing how dominant, contradictory, and incomplete hegemonic discourses of sexuality can both enable and constrain women’s possibilities for liberation.

Quantum Information Scrambling for Precision Metrology and Tests of Quantum Advantage
Greg Bentsen, The College of William & Mary
Friday, March 6, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Quantum technologies promise to revolutionize information processing and precision measurement tasks. Key to these applications is the generation of many-body entanglement, which describes correlations between particles that cannot be explained classically. Whereas conventional quantum algorithms — such as Shor’s algorithm for factoring large numbers — rely on highly structured patterns of entanglement, in this talk I will introduce a class of `scrambled’ quantum states featuring entanglement that is random and unstructured. These scrambled states can be generated from short random quantum circuits with randomly chosen gates at each step. Despite their lack of structure, the resulting many-body states can be harnessed for precision metrology applications and for establishing tests of quantum advantage over classical hardware.

Bard Hall Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

Online Event We're reading Crises of the Republic. In this collection of four essays, Hannah Arendt investigates the political ruptures of the twentieth century—probing civil disobedience, violence, bureaucratic power, and the erosion of authority. With her unsparing clarity and historical insight, Arendt illuminates the pressures that distort democratic life and the possibilities for renewed political action. Urgent and thought-provoking, Crises of the Republic offers a vital framework for understanding the challenges that continue to shape our public world.

Hudson Valley Political Theory presents: The Social Costs of the Elite's Work Hours: An Egalitarian Case for Universal Work TIime Regulations
Julie L. Rose Professor of Government, Dartmouth College
Friday, March 6, 2026 5 pm
Lippman 100, Union College In the United States today,work is increasingly polarized around “good jobs” and “bad jobs”, generally following familiar patterns of social stratification.There is, however, a striking exception to the congruence between labor market polarization and socioeconomic inequality. That is, in the US today, the good jobs of the socially and economically advantaged are often marred by one undesirable feature: long work hours. If people have claims to limits on their work hours, should such claims apply universally, protecting even those workers who are otherwise advantaged? Or should highly-paid professionals be excepted, as they are in the Fair Labor Standards Act? Recent arguments in political philosophy support an ‘exempt the elite’ position. On this view, the elite’s long hours are acceptable, even desirable, because they generate tax revenue that can be redistributed to the less advantaged. I here challenge the position that the elite’s long hours should be welcomed by showing how their long hours generate a range of inegalitarian social costs. If the elite’s long hours are more detrimental than beneficial to the realization of broadly egalitarian commitments, there is an egalitarian justification for not exempting the elite from work time regulations.

Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi transforms a Dantean tale of fraud into a masterclass of operatic irony and memorable motifs. Both one-acts showcase composers at the height of craft, blending human folly, clever plotting, and musical sophistication. From Amelia’s scheming to Schicchi’s trickster brilliance, the evening rewards close attention and sharp ears alike. A double bill to delight, provoke thought, and remind even the most discerning minds why opera remains a rigorous, endlessly inventive art form.

Get a double dose of operatic comedy as Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball and Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi come to life in full production with the Bard College Vocal Arts Program in the Fisher Center’s Sosnoff Theater.
Menotti’s Amelia Goes to the Ball—his first staged opera—sparkles with comic invention and lyrical wit. Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi transforms a Dantean tale of fraud into a masterclass of operatic irony and memorable motifs. Both one-acts showcase composers at the height of craft, blending human folly, clever plotting, and musical sophistication. From Amelia’s scheming to Schicchi’s trickster brilliance, the evening rewards close attention and sharp ears alike. A double bill to delight, provoke thought, and remind even the most discerning minds why opera remains a rigorous, endlessly inventive art form.

Bard Hall Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

MES Spring Film Series Screening: Leila and the Wolves
Fractal Realities
Monday, March 9, 2026 6:30 pm
Bertelsmann Campus Center, Weis Cinema Fractal Realities screening: A sweeping, poetic tribute to the enduring role of Arab women in liberation movements, Leila and the Wolves (1984) stands as Heiny Srour’s sole narrative feature. The film follows Leila (Nabila Zeitouni), a Lebanese woman living in London, who begins to uncover the often-ignored contributions of women within the larger revolutionary struggle. Blending archival footage with staged sequences, the film crafts a powerful feminist counter-history of resistance.
Heiny Srour is a Lebanese film director. She is best known for being the first female Arab filmmaker to have a film chosen for the Cannes Film Festival (The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived, 1974). Despite the film’s accolades and success at Cannes, The Hour of Liberation Has Arrived was banned in most of the Arab world for its socialist and feminist politics. Srour has advocated for women's rights through her films, her writing, and by funding other filmmakers. Her first feature film, Leila and the Wolves, also reflects her feminist politics and socialist politics.

Poetry as Praxis? Building Cabins and Living in Ruins with Jean-Marie Gleize
With André Pettman, Assistant Professor in French Studies at the University of Arizona
Tuesday, March 10, 2026 5:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 205 Can poetry be political practice? This talk attends to this question through examination of the work of contemporary French poet Jean-Marie Gleize. Throughout his recent poetry, Gleize draws on a recurrent motif, the cabin, connecting it with both contemporary French political struggles and theoretical notions of community. This talk will demonstrate how his sustained engagement with the cabin ultimately opens onto a conception of a radical form of community that is autonomous from the French state. Close formal readings reveal how Gleize is less concerned about what poetry is and more about what poetry does, treating it as a means of confronting the myriad crises and ruinous logics afflicting our contemporary world, from capitalist expansion to ecological devastation. Our discussion of Gleize’s work will culminate with consideration of how his poetry is conceived as a form of anti-institutional and anti-capitalist political practice that cultivates new modes of inhabiting the earth in its vulnerability.
André Pettman is Assistant Professor in French Studies at the University of Arizona, in Tucson, where he teaches contemporary French & Francophone literature. His current research examines twenty-first-century French literature as a site of radical political imagination.

Insights from a 25-Year Monetary Policy Experiment
Paul Sheard, Author of The Power of Money
Wednesday, March 11, 2026 11:30 am – 12:50 pm
Blithewood The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Levy Institute’s founding, and this event inaugurates a broader series of programs commemorating this significant milestone.
Veteran central bank watcher Paul Sheard will share his insights about Quantitative Easing as March marks a quarter of a century since the Bank of Japan launched this new form of monetary policy easing. Initially, a curiosity emanating from deflation-ridden Japan, QE was embraced big time by the Federal Reserve and other major central banks during the Global Financial Crisis and then again, on an even bigger scale, during the pandemic. Sheard will explain what QE is and how it works, and cast light on the confusions and controversies that surround it. He will explain why QT (Quantitative Tightening) gets less attention than QE, and why QE, together with an obscure legal change (the Fed and other central banks being able to pay interest on reserves), has changed monetary policy-making forever.

Bard Hall Berenice (born circa 28) was the most notorious Jewish woman in the Roman Empire of her time. Multiple marriages, rumors of incestuous relations with her brother (Agrippa II of the Herodian dynasty), and her scandalous liaison with Titus, the Roman general and emperor‑to‑be, guaranteed Berenice’s celebrity. This reputation does not, however, paint a complete portrait of Berenice, nor does it capture her significance. Her political acumen was as effective as it would become legendary. The great‑granddaughter of Herod the Great and the daughter of King Agrippa I, she promoted the family’s unusual version of Judaism as well as its outsized ambitions. Berenice was a pivotal figure in Agrippa II’s advance in imperial preferment; played a crucial role during the Jewish‑Roman war; and, as consort to Titus, supported his father, Vespasian, in his accession to the role of emperor.

The First Thing Authoritatirans Fear, A Talk by Ramón Zamora
Monday, March 23, 2026 5:30 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115 The first institutions targeted by authoritarian regimes are often journalists and independent media. When these voices are silenced, democracies lose their earliest warning system. Through the story of the persecution of renowned Guatemalan journalist José Rubén Zamora and the creation of the Central America Independent Media Archive (CAIMA), this talk reflects on why free expression acts as society’s early warning system, and how citizen action, memory, archives, and civic technology can protect truth when power tries to erase it.
Ramón Zamora is an anthropologist and sociologist, and former professor at the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, where he taught and researched the intersections of culture, communication, and technology. He led the design of digital formats and audience strategies at elPeriódico until the newspaper’s forced shutdown in 2023 amid the imprisonment of its director and the persecution of its newsroom. After relocating to the United States, he collaborated with the Russian Independent Media Archive (RIMA) and Bard College to launch the Central America Independent Media Archive (CAIMA), an initiative dedicated to preserving and safeguarding the region’s threatened independent journalism.
Supported by The Center for Civic Engagement, FLCL, Sociology, Human Rights, RIMA, and GHEA21. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

CCS Bard, Classroom 102 A series co-presented by Forge Project and CCS Bard. In this talk, the co-founders of Art Handlxrs* — Marcel Pardo Ariza and Ambrose Trataris — will explore the future of art handling and the importance of care, coalition building, and diversity in the art world. They will discuss individual and collective efforts that improve the working conditions and sustainability of the industry with a specific focus on BIPOC, queer, non-binary and trans people, and women* in the professional arts industry as preparators, art handlxrs, technicians, fabricators, and other industry support roles.
Art Handlxrs* hopes that audiences will come away from this discussion with an expanded understanding of what an art handlxr looks like, broadening their own perspective and challenging assumptions that are widely accepted through the hegemonic identities of the art world.
Being an art handlxr is based on the act of caring — for an artwork, the artist’s intention, the needs of the institution, the upkeep of the space, and the experience of an audience. Why is this intentional care not an integral part of our labor practices? How can we create work environments that foster inclusivity and access to work for folx from a diverse range of experiences?
Forge Project Talks Forge Project Talks are part of a set of broader initiatives at Bard College that seek to place Native American and Indigenous Studies at the heart of curricular innovation, which includes programming organized by the Center for Indigenous Studies and the Rethinking Place initiative. These programs are made possible by the Forge Endowed Fund for Indigenous Studies at Bard College, generously supported by the Gochman Family Foundation along with George Soros and the Open Society Foundations.

Do Not Try to Bend the Spoon. There Is No Spoon: Mediating Shamanism and Myth in Contemporary Korean Culture
With Novelist Bo-Young Kim
Thursday, March 26, 2026 5 pm
Preston In this talk, Kim reveals how Korean shamanism, ghost lore, and myth, often invisible to Western audiences, continue to shape contemporary Korean science fiction and popular culture. From “evil ghosts” (ak-kwi) frequently mistaken for demons to K-pop idols reimagined as modern-day shamans, this talk reframes haunting and possession not as horror, but as transformation, embodiment, and ethical connection. Linking ancient myths such as Paridegi with global touchstones like The Matrix and Star Wars, Kim offers students and community members a rare lens for understanding Korean storytelling on its own terms.
Bo-Young Kim is a leading South Korean science fiction writer whose work has profoundly influenced a generation of emerging authors since the early 2000s. Her English-language collection I’m Waiting for You and Other Stories was published by HarperCollins, and her translated collection, On the Origin of Species and Other Stories, published by Kaya Press, was nominated for a National Book Award, among other publications. She also served as a scenario advisor for Bong Joon-ho’s SF film Snowpiercer.

Starr Cinema, Upstate Films, Rhinebeck, NY Two years after being released from Syrian jail, Hamid (break out star Adam Bessa) is making ends meet as a construction worker in the French city of Strasbourg, where, haunted by the memory of his imprisonment, the young man searches tirelessly for the man who tortured him, determined to get his revenge--but what's the real price of vengeance for the person seeking it? Inspired by true events, Jonathan Millet's deeply researched thriller excavates the too-little-examined moral dilemmas of today’s political landscape.
This festival is supported by a grant from Albertine Cinémathèque, part of the French for All initiative by Villa Albertine–The French Institute for Culture and Education, and Albertine Foundation.

Democracy Innovation Academy with special guest Irad Malkin
A Monthly Series with the Democracy Innovation Hub
Friday, March 27, 2026 12 pm
Online Event What can our insanely unequal world learn from the emergence of ancient Greek democracy? How and why did the use of government by lottery emerge there?
For the second installment of our monthly Democracy Innovation Academy, we will be joined by special guest Irad Malkin, author of Drawing Lots: From Egalitarianism to Democracy in Ancient Greece.
"We need to understand the Greek world of values, the frame of reference, and the egalitarian mindset associated with the lot. These features made its wide-ranging use possible and desirable in antiquity, as it may be today."
Professor Malkin will be discussing the second video in our YouTube series, featuring Roger Berkowitz, which you can watch here: Democracy Innovation Academy.
This is not a formal college course - it's a drop-in academy and networking opportunity for those hoping to learn more, or to connect with organizations, practitioners, or facilitators.

Jim Ottaway Jr. Film Center György Kurtág, a renowned contemporary composer and the last great figure of the post-war avantgarde, remains spiritually vibrant even in old age. Approaching his 100th birthday in 2026, Kurtág Fragments takes audiences on a journey through key places in his life—Transylvania, Budapest, Vienna, London, Prussia Cove, and Paris, where his magnum opus Fin de Partie premiered in 2022. Along the way, the film follows his collaborations with world-class musicians such as Víkingur Ólafsson, Steven Isserlis, and Pierre-Laurent Aimard. Blending intimate moments with breathtaking performances, it captures the almost mystical process through which Kurtág transforms emotion into music. This feature-length documentary is not only a portrait of an extraordinary artist but also a cinematic immersion into one of the most profound musical worlds of our time.

Preconcert Lecture with Gergely Fazekas "I compose to seek the truth": The Musical Universe of György Kurtág Sunday, March 29 at 1:30 pm Conservatory Performance Space “The final masterpiece of twentieth-century music.” Alex Ross, music critic for The New Yorker, so described György Kurtág’s first opera, Fin de partie, which premiered in 2018 at La Scala in Milan. What makes Kurtág one of the most important voices in contemporary music in the 21st century, despite his reluctance toward fame and recognition, and despite a career that was restricted for decades behind the Iron Curtain in communist Hungary? How does he think about music, and how does he frame the “truth” he seeks in composing? These are the questions that musicologist Gergely Fazekas, associate professor at the Liszt Academy in Budapest, seeks to answer.

Presented by The Orchestra Now (TŌN) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC
Sunday, March 29, 2026 2–4 pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC Mozart Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter” Artwork by Raphael and others
Leon Botsteinconductor
In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes an introduction by a Met curator, a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, and a full performance of the works.
Raffaello di Giovanni Santi (1483–1520)—better known as Raphael—was one of history’s most beloved and influential artists. A true titan of the Italian Renaissance, Raphael matched ambition with lyricism to create works with both intellectual heft and emotional depth, a necessary skill in the complex political landscape of Renaissance courts. In his short life of only 37 years, he achieved such profound success as a painter, designer, and architect that he was regarded as the pinnacle of artistic perfection for centuries after his death. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was himself one of the most prolific and influential artists of the Classical period. He gave piano concerts starting at age five and wrote his first opera at age 11. He composed more than 800 works by the time of his death at age 35. Mozart wrote dozens of symphonies, composing the final three over six weeks in the summer of 1788. The 41st, his last, puts on full display the extraordinary compositional technique he mastered over the course of his career. Both of these prodigies were driven by their quest for perfection, earning great acclaim for their skillful technique early in their short lives and leaving a legacy to which artists would aspire for centuries thereafter.
The exhibition Raphael: Sublime Poetry will be on view at The Met Fifth Avenue March 29 – June 28, 2026 in gallery 899.

Nick Mauss is an artist whose work connects drawing, gesture, and implications of space with writing, performance, and display. His exhibition Transmissions at the Whitney Museum of American Art catalyzed a new poetics of the archive and historiography through highly innovative work with dancers, curators, art historians, conservators, artworks, collectors, librarians, artists, costume makers, and exhibition designers–where the entire infrastructure of making exhibitions was treated through the lens of performance. Mauss has also collaborated with artists including Ken Okiishi, Lorraine O’Grady, Juliana Huxtable, Kim Gordon, and Yvonne Rainer, among others. A volume of his selected essays on art, cinema, dance, and fashion, titled Dispersed Events, was published by After 8 Books, Paris, in 2024. Touching on the simultaneous modes of his practice, Mauss will narrate an artistic method of re-orientation through which counter-histories are proposed.

Forge Project Talks: Marcel Pardo Ariza and Ambrose Trataris, co-founders of Art Handlxrs*
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 5–7 pm
A series co-presented by Forge Project and CCS Bard. In this talk, the co-founders of Art Handlxrs* — Marcel Pardo Ariza and Ambrose Trataris — will explore the future of art handling and the importance of care, coalition building, and diversity in the art world. They will discuss individual and collective efforts that improve the working conditions and sustainability of the industry with a specific focus on BIPOC, queer, non-binary and trans people, and women* in the professional arts industry as preparators, art handlxrs, technicians, fabricators, and other industry support roles.
Art Handlxrs* hopes that audiences will come away from this discussion with an expanded understanding of what an art handlxr looks like, broadening their own perspective and challenging assumptions that are widely accepted through the hegemonic identities of the art world.
Being an art handlxr is based on the act of caring — for an artwork, the artist’s intention, the needs of the institution, the upkeep of the space, and the experience of an audience. Why is this intentional care not an integral part of our labor practices? How can we create work environments that foster inclusivity and access to work for folx from a diverse range of experiences?
Forge Project Talks Forge Project Talks are part of a set of broader initiatives at Bard College that seek to place Native American and Indigenous Studies at the heart of curricular innovation, which includes programming organized by the Center for Indigenous Studies and the Rethinking Place initiative. These programs are made possible by the Forge Endowed Fund for Indigenous Studies at Bard College, generously supported by the Gochman Family Foundation along with George Soros and the Open Society Foundations.
