Facts Do Care About Your Feelings: Subjective Socioeconomic Status and Pain Over the Life Course
Terresa Eun, PhD Candidate in Sociology, Stanford University
Monday, December 1, 2025 5 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 102 Pain is rising in the United States and globally—an alarming trend with wide-reaching implications given that pain serves as a “barometer” for population health and well-being. These increases are not evenly distributed: pain reflects and exacerbates existing inequalities, including by socioeconomic status. While literature has established socioeconomic inequalities in pain trends, little is known about how perceptions of socioeconomic status, rather than objective or relative access to resources, contribute to these inequalities. Such distinctions matter given that internalizations of status do not necessarily align with material conditions yet can affect our health through various psychosocial mechanisms. Using Health and Retirement Study panel data from 2004 to 2018, I use conditional, quadratic growth models to find that feeling worse off—regardless of one’s socioeconomic reality—is associated with worse health. Perceptions of lower SES and perceived declines in status are significantly associated with more pain, even after accounting for objective and relative SES. These results demonstrate that subjective socioeconomic status matters for health beyond access to resources, underscoring the importance of perceptions in shaping health realities and highlighting subjective SES as an underexplored mechanism explaining the persistence of health inequalities.

POSTPONED TO NEXT SEMESTER DUE TO STORM: Asia/ns in American Science Fiction: How Asian Culture Changed the History of American Sci-Fi
with Dr. Sang-Keun Yoo, Assistant Professor in the English and Global Studies Department at Marist University
Tuesday, December 2, 2025 5 pm
Preston Theater POSTPONED TO NEXT SEMESTER due to winter storm warning 12/2.
Asian characters are everywhere in American science fiction today. Evelyn in the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, Jesse in The Last of Us, Glenn in The Walking Dead, and Ricky Park in Jordan Peele’s Nope; the list goes on. Even Disney and Marvel, which historically lacked Asian princes, princesses, or superheroes, now feature a Chinese Canadian protagonist in Turning Red, a Japanese American hero in Big Hero 6, and “a brown girl from Jersey City” as the new superhero in Ms. Marvel. But what are all these Asian characters doing in American science fiction? Why has this genre become such a prominent space for representing “Asianness”?
This lecture traces the history of Asians in American science fiction all the way back to the early twentieth century and examines how depictions of Asia and Asians have evolved over more than a century in the genre. By exploring the genealogy of Orientalism in American SF history, this talk proposes a new framework for understanding the current cultural moment—from the global popularity of K-pop to the rise of Asian and Asian American science fiction writers.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Arendt Center December 4, 2025, marks fifty years since the passing of Hannah Arendt. Though many of us never had the privilege of knowing her, we continue to feel her presence—and her absence—deeply. Her ideas still spark conversations around the world, reminding us of the power of thinking together. To honor her memory, we invite you to join us for a guided walk to her grave. There, we will share stories that have been lovingly passed down, and recite the Kaddish—the traditional Jewish prayer of mourning—or any other words of remembrance you wish to offer. Following the visit, we’ll gather for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and pastries) at the Hannah Arendt Center.
Meeting Point: Hannah Arendt Center (we will depart promptly at 3:30 to ensure we return before dark)

This discussion explores a paper estimating the causal effects of monetary policy shocks on household consumption, with additional analysis of labor market and income responses, disaggregated by gender and race. Puig finds that contractionary monetary policy reduces consumption more for black than white households, with the largest declines among households headed by black women. These gaps persist after accounting for differences in household education, debt, and income, but are partly explained by differences in marital status and spousal insurance against shocks. These shocks also lead households to shift expenditures from non-essential and durable goods toward essential non-durable goods and services. The analysis provides estimates of marginal propensities to consume across groups and shows that contractionary, rather than expansionary, shocks drive aggregate consumption responses. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for intersectional demographic heterogeneity in evaluating the distributional effects of monetary policy.
Aina Puig is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Economics at Pace University. She is an applied macroeconomist, researching monetary economics, consumer finance, and inequality topics. She has worked on projects studying the distributional effects of monetary policy while visiting Federal Reserve Banks and the International Monetary Fund. She received her PhD in Economics from American University and her BS in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park.

More American Than Whom? Race, Status, and National Identity
Victoria Asbury-Kimmel, PhD Faculty Fellow/Assistant Professor, New York University
Thursday, December 4, 2025 5 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium This talk examines how Black, Latino, and Asian Americans define what it means to be “truly American” and how these definitions relate to perceptions of racial group position in the national hierarchy. Using data from the Truly American Project (TrAP) 2 survey—a nationally representative sample of 3,000 respondents across the three groups—the study uses a ranking-based measure of Americanness to uncover patterned differences in how groups prioritize ascriptive traits such as nativity and long-term residence and credal traits such as hard work, lawfulness, and paying taxes. The analysis shows that these priorities reflect groups’ demographic profiles and perceived strengths: Black respondents elevate nativity, while Latino and Asian respondents emphasize credal qualities. These definitions correspond to distinct views of the national hierarchy, with each group locating itself differently relative to Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians. Additional analyses demonstrate that emphasizing specific traits shifts perceptions of relative Americanness in systematic ways. Together, the findings reveal that national identity is not a shared consensus but a contested symbolic arena in which groups advance status claims that shape intergroup relations.

The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence.

Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Presented by The Orchestra Now (TŌN) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC
Sunday, December 7, 2025 2–4 pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC Johann Strauss II Egyptian March MozartThe Magic Flute Overture Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No. 5, “Egyptian” Artwork from the exhibition Divine Egypt
Leon Botsteinconductor Terrence Wilsonpiano
In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, followed by a full performance of the works and an audience Q&A.
In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren’t just images—they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, European composers like Mozart and Johann Strauss II incorporated influences from the Middle East into some of their music. Saint-Saëns’s Fifth Piano Concerto was written in Egypt, where the composer included in his work the melody of a Nubian love song he had heard along the Nile. Grammy-nominated pianist Terrence Wilson, winner of the SONY ES Award for Musical Excellence, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the Juilliard Petschek Award, will perform the concerto with TŌN.
The exhibition Divine Egypt will be on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from October 12, 2025–January 19, 2026 in gallery 899.
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Celebrate the holiday season with an enchanting program of new music from the Bard Chinese Ensemble! This year’s program flows like a river of imagination — from the mist-veiled bridges of Jiagnan to the shadowed realm of spirits and demons, re-imagined through the lens of a German composer. One work invites the audience to experience three Asian fruits, transforming taste into sound, while the finale — essentially a Chinese La Mer — evokes the many facets of China’s rivers. Through these journeys, tradition breathes anew: in the poetry of nature, the pulse of myth, the colors and fragrances of tropical fruit, and the eternal song of flowing water. Come enjoy the sensational sounds of this large ensemble featuring a unique blend of Chinese and Western instruments. Ensemble music director Shutong Li conducts. FREE and open to the public.

Hispanic Studies Student Colloquium: Mapping the Future through Literature and Art
Monday, December 8, 2025 12:30 am – 2 pm
Weis Cinema, Campus Center This colloquium explores contemporary literature and visual art from Iberia and Latin America that challenge the present in order to imagine alternative futures. As dystopian narratives dominate and often reinforce the status quo, thinkers like Mark Fisher, Donna Haraway, and Layla Martínez argue that the inability to envision change is a political condition. Still, between utopia and dystopia, artists and writers are mapping new possibilities. In response to ecological collapse, gender violence, pandemics, and other social traumas, their work does more than speculate—it acts in the present, cultivating resistance and collective care. What roles do literature and art play in imagining change? What power do they hold amid widespread pessimism?
*Open to all members of the Spanish-speaking community at Bard.*

Class as Power Relations: Understanding Changes in the American Class Structure from the 2000s to the 2020s
Di Zhou, PhD Candidate in Sociology, New York University
Monday, December 8, 2025 5 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 102 As a key concept of social inequality, class is often defined by income, education, or occupational prestige. However, an important but frequently overlooked dimension of class is workplace power relations. Viewing class as power relations can help explain how inequality is generated and experienced by workers, and how factors such as new technologies and politics reshape power dynamics at work. This study introduces a innovative framework for examining class as power relations using novel text data and computational methods powered by Large Language Models. I map the American class structure from 2002 to 2020 and find a significant expansion of “contradictory class locations” (including managers, professionals, and supervisors) alongside a simultaneous contraction of the working class. Surprisingly, more than half of this change results from the addition of supervisory tasks to traditionally working- class jobs, without a corresponding increase in workers’ income. The study reveals previously unrecognized shifts in supervisory work in American workplaces and raises critical questions about how the content and social meaning of supervisory work may have changed from real empowerment to an added burden.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

With Rachel Morrison, Blegen Fellow in Greek and Roman Studies, Vassar College
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 5–6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 202 The primary form of telecommunication available to ancient Romans was letter-writing, an asynchronous mode of communication. When his friend is widowed, Ovid laments that it can take a full year for mail to travel between Rome and Tomis; after so much delay, trying to console Gallio might only resurface old wounds–or even offend a new wife if he has already remarried! Even when the timeframe is less dramatic, this disjuncture between written time and lived time looms over many correspondences. Writing before an election to a post-election recipient, Cicero addresses one letter, “To Appius Pulcher, censor—I hope.” Examining letters ancient Romans wrote to their friends from the civil war through late antiquity, we will explore how the asynchronicity of letter-writing shaped the kinds of intimacy that letters could foster.

We’ve Seen This Before: Lessons from Exile on Recognizing Authoritarianism
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 6 pm
Online Event Across continents—from Russia to Iran, from Hungary to Venezuela—journalists have learned to read the early signals of autocracy: the slow normalization of censorship, the weaponization of “national security,” and the gradual erosion of the importance of facts. Many journalists who came to the United States to escape repressive regimes are now seeing familiar signs around them.
December 10 will mark the public launch of Kronika, a joint project of PEN America and Bard College that was born from the Russian Independent Media Archive (RIMA), was built to safeguard journalism and public memory wherever they are at risk. At the center of the program is a conversation with a founder of the project M. Gessen, András Pethő (Direkt36, Hungary), Ramón Zamora (El Periódico/Central America Independent Media Archive, Guatemala), and Sevgi Akarçeşme (Türkiye, in exile in New York)—journalists and thinkers who witnessed the rise of authoritarian regimes firsthand.
Moderated by PEN America’s Liesl Gerntholtz, managing director of the PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Center, the conversation will explore the panelists’ experiences as journalists and Kronika as a tool to protect public memory. The event is also a call to connection—inviting journalists in exile and American journalists to work together to track and document the warning signs of autocracy.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Online Event We're reading On Revolution. Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe. From the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century, Arendt traces the changing face of revolution and its relationship to war while underscoring the crucial role such events will play in the future. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.
Free to Bard students, staff, and faculty and to HAC members! Email [email protected] for the Zoom link.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb. For more information, call 845-758-7598, e-mail [email protected], or visit https://ccs.bard.edu/museum/exhibitions/1142-from-the-collection-first-year-curatorial-practice-2025.

Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries Bringing together materials from the archives and collections of the Institute for Studies of Latin American Art (ISLAA), Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art showcases the activities of the collective Polvo de Gallina Negra (1983–1993) alongside solo works by members Maris Bustamante and Mónica Mayer. The exhibition focuses on particular strategies of Polvo de Gallina Negra that combined social activism and radical humor.
Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm. More information here.
Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art is co-curated by Alma Chaouachi, Mike Curran, Lila Gould, Bruna Grinsztejn, Gladys Lou, and Devon Ma, with generous guidance from professor and curator Mariano López Seoane. The exhibition and accompanying publication result from a graduate seminar at CCS Bard supported by ISLAA as part of the ISLAA Artist Seminar Initiative. The ISLAA Artist Seminar Initiative supports graduate seminars on key figures and periods of Latin American art with a focus on living artists who participate in conversations with students or on historical figures represented in the ISLAA collection. Students collaborate to produce a public-facing exhibition that aims to expand art historical narratives and provide a platform for emerging curators.

Kline, College Room Language tables are held at Kline and entail about an hour of casual discussion during meal times, where students interested in a language get to know each other and practice colloquial conversations. They are held by the tutor of the language, and although sometimes professors join the table, it is a very low-stakes and fun setting to immerse yourself in a language, its culture and the foreign language community at Bard.

Facts Do Care About Your Feelings: Subjective Socioeconomic Status and Pain Over the Life Course
Terresa Eun, PhD Candidate in Sociology, Stanford University
Monday, December 1, 2025 5 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 102 Pain is rising in the United States and globally—an alarming trend with wide-reaching implications given that pain serves as a “barometer” for population health and well-being. These increases are not evenly distributed: pain reflects and exacerbates existing inequalities, including by socioeconomic status. While literature has established socioeconomic inequalities in pain trends, little is known about how perceptions of socioeconomic status, rather than objective or relative access to resources, contribute to these inequalities. Such distinctions matter given that internalizations of status do not necessarily align with material conditions yet can affect our health through various psychosocial mechanisms. Using Health and Retirement Study panel data from 2004 to 2018, I use conditional, quadratic growth models to find that feeling worse off—regardless of one’s socioeconomic reality—is associated with worse health. Perceptions of lower SES and perceived declines in status are significantly associated with more pain, even after accounting for objective and relative SES. These results demonstrate that subjective socioeconomic status matters for health beyond access to resources, underscoring the importance of perceptions in shaping health realities and highlighting subjective SES as an underexplored mechanism explaining the persistence of health inequalities.

POSTPONED TO NEXT SEMESTER DUE TO STORM: Asia/ns in American Science Fiction: How Asian Culture Changed the History of American Sci-Fi
with Dr. Sang-Keun Yoo, Assistant Professor in the English and Global Studies Department at Marist University
Tuesday, December 2, 2025 5 pm
Preston Theater POSTPONED TO NEXT SEMESTER due to winter storm warning 12/2.
Asian characters are everywhere in American science fiction today. Evelyn in the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, Jesse in The Last of Us, Glenn in The Walking Dead, and Ricky Park in Jordan Peele’s Nope; the list goes on. Even Disney and Marvel, which historically lacked Asian princes, princesses, or superheroes, now feature a Chinese Canadian protagonist in Turning Red, a Japanese American hero in Big Hero 6, and “a brown girl from Jersey City” as the new superhero in Ms. Marvel. But what are all these Asian characters doing in American science fiction? Why has this genre become such a prominent space for representing “Asianness”?
This lecture traces the history of Asians in American science fiction all the way back to the early twentieth century and examines how depictions of Asia and Asians have evolved over more than a century in the genre. By exploring the genealogy of Orientalism in American SF history, this talk proposes a new framework for understanding the current cultural moment—from the global popularity of K-pop to the rise of Asian and Asian American science fiction writers.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries Bringing together materials from the archives and collections of the Institute for Studies of Latin American Art (ISLAA), Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art showcases the activities of the collective Polvo de Gallina Negra (1983–1993) alongside solo works by members Maris Bustamante and Mónica Mayer. The exhibition focuses on particular strategies of Polvo de Gallina Negra that combined social activism and radical humor.
Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm. More information here.
Esa otra mitad del cielo: Feminist Strategies in Post-1968 Mexican Art is co-curated by Alma Chaouachi, Mike Curran, Lila Gould, Bruna Grinsztejn, Gladys Lou, and Devon Ma, with generous guidance from professor and curator Mariano López Seoane. The exhibition and accompanying publication result from a graduate seminar at CCS Bard supported by ISLAA as part of the ISLAA Artist Seminar Initiative. The ISLAA Artist Seminar Initiative supports graduate seminars on key figures and periods of Latin American art with a focus on living artists who participate in conversations with students or on historical figures represented in the ISLAA collection. Students collaborate to produce a public-facing exhibition that aims to expand art historical narratives and provide a platform for emerging curators.

Arendt Center December 4, 2025, marks fifty years since the passing of Hannah Arendt. Though many of us never had the privilege of knowing her, we continue to feel her presence—and her absence—deeply. Her ideas still spark conversations around the world, reminding us of the power of thinking together. To honor her memory, we invite you to join us for a guided walk to her grave. There, we will share stories that have been lovingly passed down, and recite the Kaddish—the traditional Jewish prayer of mourning—or any other words of remembrance you wish to offer. Following the visit, we’ll gather for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and pastries) at the Hannah Arendt Center.
Meeting Point: Hannah Arendt Center (we will depart promptly at 3:30 to ensure we return before dark)

This discussion explores a paper estimating the causal effects of monetary policy shocks on household consumption, with additional analysis of labor market and income responses, disaggregated by gender and race. Puig finds that contractionary monetary policy reduces consumption more for black than white households, with the largest declines among households headed by black women. These gaps persist after accounting for differences in household education, debt, and income, but are partly explained by differences in marital status and spousal insurance against shocks. These shocks also lead households to shift expenditures from non-essential and durable goods toward essential non-durable goods and services. The analysis provides estimates of marginal propensities to consume across groups and shows that contractionary, rather than expansionary, shocks drive aggregate consumption responses. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for intersectional demographic heterogeneity in evaluating the distributional effects of monetary policy.
Aina Puig is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Economics at Pace University. She is an applied macroeconomist, researching monetary economics, consumer finance, and inequality topics. She has worked on projects studying the distributional effects of monetary policy while visiting Federal Reserve Banks and the International Monetary Fund. She received her PhD in Economics from American University and her BS in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park.

More American Than Whom? Race, Status, and National Identity
Victoria Asbury-Kimmel, PhD Faculty Fellow/Assistant Professor, New York University
Thursday, December 4, 2025 5 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium This talk examines how Black, Latino, and Asian Americans define what it means to be “truly American” and how these definitions relate to perceptions of racial group position in the national hierarchy. Using data from the Truly American Project (TrAP) 2 survey—a nationally representative sample of 3,000 respondents across the three groups—the study uses a ranking-based measure of Americanness to uncover patterned differences in how groups prioritize ascriptive traits such as nativity and long-term residence and credal traits such as hard work, lawfulness, and paying taxes. The analysis shows that these priorities reflect groups’ demographic profiles and perceived strengths: Black respondents elevate nativity, while Latino and Asian respondents emphasize credal qualities. These definitions correspond to distinct views of the national hierarchy, with each group locating itself differently relative to Whites, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians. Additional analyses demonstrate that emphasizing specific traits shifts perceptions of relative Americanness in systematic ways. Together, the findings reveal that national identity is not a shared consensus but a contested symbolic arena in which groups advance status claims that shape intergroup relations.

In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, followed by a full performance of the works and an audience Q&A.
In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren’t just images—they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, European composers like Mozart and Johann Strauss II incorporated influences from the Middle East into some of their music. Saint-Saëns’s Fifth Piano Concerto was written in Egypt, where the composer included in his work the melody of a Nubian love song he had heard along the Nile. Grammy-nominated pianist Terrence Wilson, winner of the SONY ES Award for Musical Excellence, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the Juilliard Petschek Award, will perform the concerto with TŌN.
The exhibition Divine Egypt will be on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from October 12, 2025–January 19, 2026 in gallery 899.
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Celebrate the holiday season with an enchanting program of new music from the Bard Chinese Ensemble! This year’s program flows like a river of imagination — from the mist-veiled bridges of Jiagnan to the shadowed realm of spirits and demons, re-imagined through the lens of a German composer. One work invites the audience to experience three Asian fruits, transforming taste into sound, while the finale — essentially a Chinese La Mer — evokes the many facets of China’s rivers. Through these journeys, tradition breathes anew: in the poetry of nature, the pulse of myth, the colors and fragrances of tropical fruit, and the eternal song of flowing water. Come enjoy the sensational sounds of this large ensemble featuring a unique blend of Chinese and Western instruments. Ensemble music director Shutong Li conducts. FREE and open to the public.
Blum Hall Professor Sarah Hennies “Percussion as Experimental Practice” class performs “Stones” by Christian Wolff alongside a brand new collaboratively composed work for found objects and other non-traditional instruments.

Hispanic Studies Student Colloquium: Mapping the Future through Literature and Art
Monday, December 8, 2025 12:30 am – 2 pm
Weis Cinema, Campus Center This colloquium explores contemporary literature and visual art from Iberia and Latin America that challenge the present in order to imagine alternative futures. As dystopian narratives dominate and often reinforce the status quo, thinkers like Mark Fisher, Donna Haraway, and Layla Martínez argue that the inability to envision change is a political condition. Still, between utopia and dystopia, artists and writers are mapping new possibilities. In response to ecological collapse, gender violence, pandemics, and other social traumas, their work does more than speculate—it acts in the present, cultivating resistance and collective care. What roles do literature and art play in imagining change? What power do they hold amid widespread pessimism?
*Open to all members of the Spanish-speaking community at Bard.*

Class as Power Relations: Understanding Changes in the American Class Structure from the 2000s to the 2020s
Di Zhou, PhD Candidate in Sociology, New York University
Monday, December 8, 2025 5 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 102 As a key concept of social inequality, class is often defined by income, education, or occupational prestige. However, an important but frequently overlooked dimension of class is workplace power relations. Viewing class as power relations can help explain how inequality is generated and experienced by workers, and how factors such as new technologies and politics reshape power dynamics at work. This study introduces a innovative framework for examining class as power relations using novel text data and computational methods powered by Large Language Models. I map the American class structure from 2002 to 2020 and find a significant expansion of “contradictory class locations” (including managers, professionals, and supervisors) alongside a simultaneous contraction of the working class. Surprisingly, more than half of this change results from the addition of supervisory tasks to traditionally working- class jobs, without a corresponding increase in workers’ income. The study reveals previously unrecognized shifts in supervisory work in American workplaces and raises critical questions about how the content and social meaning of supervisory work may have changed from real empowerment to an added burden.

With Rachel Morrison, Blegen Fellow in Greek and Roman Studies, Vassar College
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 5–6:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 202 The primary form of telecommunication available to ancient Romans was letter-writing, an asynchronous mode of communication. When his friend is widowed, Ovid laments that it can take a full year for mail to travel between Rome and Tomis; after so much delay, trying to console Gallio might only resurface old wounds–or even offend a new wife if he has already remarried! Even when the timeframe is less dramatic, this disjuncture between written time and lived time looms over many correspondences. Writing before an election to a post-election recipient, Cicero addresses one letter, “To Appius Pulcher, censor—I hope.” Examining letters ancient Romans wrote to their friends from the civil war through late antiquity, we will explore how the asynchronicity of letter-writing shaped the kinds of intimacy that letters could foster.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Renowned Hungarian pianist Balázs Fülei boasts a diverse and expansive career, with over thirty piano concertos in his repertoire, including all the concertos by Beethoven, Brahms, and Bartók. His discography includes five solo albums: in 2013, he released works by Bartók and Grieg; in 2015, an album featuring Brahms, Beethoven, Debussy, and compositions by András Gábor Virágh connected to the Moon theme; in 2019, he recorded Beethoven and Schubert's penultimate sonatas and released a Liszt album focusing on late compositions. He has also recorded with the Auer Trio, clarinetist Zsolt Szatmári, and tenor Zoltán Megyesi, including a notable performance of Schubert's Winterreise.
Fülei entered the international music scene early, winning the Arcangelo Speranza International Piano Competition in Taranto in 2005, followed by additional awards in Milan, Cagliari, and Moscow. He was selected twice by the International Holland Music Sessions to perform as a soloist on the New Masters On Tour.
His international performances have graced some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the Grand Hall of the Liszt Academy, Palace of Arts in Budapest, Konzerthaus Vienna, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Kioi Hall Tokyo, Tchaikovsky Conservatory Moscow, NCPA Mumbai, and Carnegie Hall in New York, where he made his debut solo recital in 2008. Fülei has also performed with leading symphony orchestras both in Hungary and internationally.
A passionate chamber musician, Fülei regularly performs at renowned festivals such as the Festival de Bellerive, Miami Piano Festival, and Budapest Spring Festival. He is also a key member of the Auer Trio, which released its debut album in 2019, and has performed frequently with the Kodály Quartet, one of Hungary's most celebrated chamber ensembles. Since 2012, Fülei has been a faculty member at the Liszt Academy, where he serves as Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Chamber Music. He has taught and given masterclasses around the world and is the founder of the Echo Summer Academy, an international program held annually at Károlyi Castle in Fehérvárcsurgó, Hungary.
Fülei’s artistry has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, including the Junior Prima Prize (2010), the Artisjus Prize (2011), the Solti Foundation Prize (2012), and the Diamond Career Grant from Charlotte White’s Salon de Virtuosi (2015). In 2017, he was honored with the Liszt Prize, and in 2020, he was named a Steinway Artist by Steinway & Sons.

We’ve Seen This Before: Lessons from Exile on Recognizing Authoritarianism
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 6 pm
Online Event Across continents—from Russia to Iran, from Hungary to Venezuela—journalists have learned to read the early signals of autocracy: the slow normalization of censorship, the weaponization of “national security,” and the gradual erosion of the importance of facts. Many journalists who came to the United States to escape repressive regimes are now seeing familiar signs around them.
December 10 will mark the public launch of Kronika, a joint project of PEN America and Bard College that was born from the Russian Independent Media Archive (RIMA), was built to safeguard journalism and public memory wherever they are at risk. At the center of the program is a conversation with a founder of the project M. Gessen, András Pethő (Direkt36, Hungary), Ramón Zamora (El Periódico/Central America Independent Media Archive, Guatemala), and Sevgi Akarçeşme (Türkiye, in exile in New York)—journalists and thinkers who witnessed the rise of authoritarian regimes firsthand.
Moderated by PEN America’s Liesl Gerntholtz, managing director of the PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Center, the conversation will explore the panelists’ experiences as journalists and Kronika as a tool to protect public memory. The event is also a call to connection—inviting journalists in exile and American journalists to work together to track and document the warning signs of autocracy.
Powerhouse Arts 322 3rd Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11215 A civic imagination gathering for everyone who wants better public engagement and more input in actual decision-making spaces.
Working together, Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities, The Assembly Project, People’s Creative Institute , Columbia World Projects, and The Civic Engagement Commission in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts are excited to present “You Are Democracy: A Series on Collective Power," a three-part event series focused on democracy beyond elections. This series will include a film screening, model civic assembly, and a celebratory reimagining of a public meeting.
Join us for an evening that reimagines what civic life can feel like. Flourishing Community Meetings is a warm, art-infused gathering where neighbors, organizers, and dreamers come together to imagine the futures our city deserves. Over good food, live music, and guided creative exercises, participants will listen to visionary storytellers, reflect in small groups, and co-create bold civic ideas through fun and creative means. Together we’ll build a living “Manifesto of Possible Futures” — a collective snapshot of what becomes possible when creativity, community, and belonging shape public life. Come ready to dream, play, and co-author new possibilities for New York City.

Blum N211 Join us for a Improvised, experimental, and sonic (instrumental) conversation about the borderland(s). Marshall Trammell is a self-styled Music Research Strategist. As such, he is an Experimental/Creative Music Percussionist, Conductor, and Composer. His aesthetics and activism are centered in social change interventions and generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries. Trammell’s work also uses political aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music-and-artmaking in order to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.

Guest Artist Recital: András Szalai, cimbalom, and Balázs Fülei, piano
"En Rêve – Liszt Inspirations"
Wednesday, December 10, 2025 7 pm
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space András Szalai was born in 1985 in Budapest. He graduated in classical cimbalom performance and composition from the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music. He is a prizewinner of several national and international cimbalom competitions.
His artistic focus lies in performing early music arrangements, 20th-century music, and contemporary solo and chamber works. Over the past twenty years, he has premiered or performed several pieces by Hungarian and international contemporary composers. He frequently performs works by György Kurtág, who has also composed a solo piece for him. As a soloist and chamber musician, he has appeared at major festivals, including the Budapest Spring Festival, the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, the Aix-en-Provence Festival, and the Haydn Festival in Fertőd.
He has performed with the Slovenian, Warsaw, Kraków, Łódź, Valencia, Moscow, and Stavanger Philharmonic Orchestras, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Tonkünstler Orchestra, the Helsinki Avanti! Chamber Orchestra, the Lapland Chamber Orchestra, the Plural Ensemble in Madrid, the Forbidden City Chamber Orchestra in Beijing, the Ars Nova Ensemble, and the Ensemble C Barré in France. In Hungary, he has played with the Budapest Strings, the Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra, and nearly every symphonic orchestra in the country. He has worked with conductors such as Péter Eötvös, Iván Fischer, Michail Jurowski, Zoltán Kocsis, Ingo Metzmacher, Fabian Panisello, Michael Schønwandt, Walter Weller, Antoni Wit, and Simone Young, as well as performers like Claire Chase, Evelyn Glennie, and Helena Winkelmann. He is a member of the UMZE Contemporary Ensemble.
He teaches composition and music theory at the King St. Stephen Conservatory and cimbalom and chamber music at the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music. His recordings can be found at Hungarian Radio and Hungaroton. He is a recipient of the Artisjus Prize.
Renowned Hungarian pianist Balázs Fülei boasts a diverse and expansive career, with over thirty piano concertos in his repertoire, including all the concertos by Beethoven, Brahms, and Bartók. His discography includes five solo albums: in 2013, he released works by Bartók and Grieg; in 2015, an album featuring Brahms, Beethoven, Debussy, and compositions by András Gábor Virágh connected to the Moon theme; in 2019, he recorded Beethoven and Schubert's penultimate sonatas and released a Liszt album focusing on late compositions. He has also recorded with the Auer Trio, clarinetist Zsolt Szatmári, and tenor Zoltán Megyesi, including a notable performance of Schubert's Winterreise.
Fülei entered the international music scene early, winning the Arcangelo Speranza International Piano Competition in Taranto in 2005, followed by additional awards in Milan, Cagliari, and Moscow. He was selected twice by the International Holland Music Sessions to perform as a soloist on the New Masters On Tour.
His international performances have graced some of the world’s most prestigious venues, including the Grand Hall of the Liszt Academy, Palace of Arts in Budapest, Konzerthaus Vienna, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Kioi Hall Tokyo, Tchaikovsky Conservatory Moscow, NCPA Mumbai, and Carnegie Hall in New York, where he made his debut solo recital in 2008. Fülei has also performed with leading symphony orchestras both in Hungary and internationally.
A passionate chamber musician, Fülei regularly performs at renowned festivals such as the Festival de Bellerive, Miami Piano Festival, and Budapest Spring Festival. He is also a key member of the Auer Trio, which released its debut album in 2019, and has performed frequently with the Kodály Quartet, one of Hungary's most celebrated chamber ensembles.
Since 2012, Fülei has been a faculty member at the Liszt Academy, where he serves as Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Chamber Music. He has taught and given masterclasses around the world and is the founder of the Echo Summer Academy, an international program held annually at Károlyi Castle in Fehérvárcsurgó, Hungary.
Fülei’s artistry has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, including the Junior Prima Prize (2010), the Artisjus Prize (2011), the Solti Foundation Prize (2012), and the Diamond Career Grant from Charlotte White’s Salon de Virtuosi (2015). In 2017, he was honored with the Liszt Prize, and in 2020, he was named a Steinway Artist by Steinway & Sons.

Online Event We're reading On Revolution. Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe. From the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century, Arendt traces the changing face of revolution and its relationship to war while underscoring the crucial role such events will play in the future. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.
