What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Film Screening: Unlearning Imperial Plunder (I & II) by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay
Tuesday, October 1, 2024 7–9 pm
Preston Theater Unlearning Imperial Plunder I Un-Documented is a film essay on the strong connection between the plundered objects in European museums and the calls of asylum seekers trying to enter the countries of their former European colonizers. The film treats these two subjects as ones of twinned migrations. The rights of the “undocumented” are inscribed in the plundered objects themselves: colonizers stole not just statues, but rights inscribed in objects. Yet, the statues still live—and can be reclaimed with the rights inscribed in them renewed.
Unlearning Imperial Plunder II The world like a jewel in the hand travels over open books, looted objects, and postcards to look for the imperial foundations of the world in which we live. Instead of accepting the verdict and treating these documents as sealed or objects as pieces of art and relics of “history,” the film presents them as invitations to resistance, reinterpretation, and reclamation of a world deemed “lost.” Narrated in the first person, the film refuses to succumb to imperial histories while focusing on the destruction of the Jewish Muslim world that existed in North Africa.
Join us at the Preston Theater for this film screening.Sponsored by: Center for Human Rights and the Arts; Human Rights Program; Human Rights Project.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens.

CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.

Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.

Exploring Intergenerational Child-Rearing Practices in Central Asia: A Critical Psychology Approach
Presented by Elena Kim, Psychology
Thursday, October 3, 2024 4–5 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium This presentation is based on a qualitative study of nebere aluu, an intergenerational child-rearing practice (translated as taking a grandchild), historically observed in some Central Asian kinship systems. In nebere aluu, individuals are expected to voluntarily yield custody of their firstborns to their paternal grandparents who adopt and raise them as their own. Signifying an important life achievement, the practice contributes to grandparents’ social status. Scholarly discussions about nebere aluu, though rare, have emphasized its acceptance as an ethnic tradition and a cultural norm. Popular sources, also scarce, have tended to sensationalize or pathologize it, creating narratives which emphasize nebere aluu's adverse psychological and socialization effects on children so raised. Adopting the intellectual traditions of the Indigenous and Critical Psychologies which advocate for creating psychological knowledge as deeply rooted in the particularities of specific contexts and as reflective of the local voices, this study offers a shift towards an empirical exploration of nebere aluu through subjective experiences of adult individuals who were raised in such arrangements.
This presentation's analytic focus is on narratives of care and bonding. These narratives articulate competing discourses of generational continuity, ideological disruptions, loss and reconnection. Findings are discussed in terms of the visible and invisible power asymmetries that nebere aluu appears to perpetuate and linkages of the practice to the unique Central Asian condition characterized by the history of colonization, political volatility, economic instability and social insecurity.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Carlos Chávez Suite de Caballos de Vapor (Horsepower Suite)
Manuel Ponce Chapultepec
Silvestre Revueltas La noche de los Mayas (The Night of the Mayas)
Leon Botstein and The Orchestra Now perform works by three of the leading Mexican symphonic composers of the twentieth century. Manuel Ponce, known as the “father of Mexican Music” is represented by two pieces: the exuberant Ferial, depicting an afternoon fair in a small town, and the impressionistic Chapultepec, a colorful symphonic poem that takes audiences to the Mexico City suburb where the composer lived. Carlos Chávez’s boisterous Horsepower Suite reflects the interconnection of humans and industry, which the composer referred to as “struggle, effort, and creation.” And finally, the suite from Silvestre Revueltas’ score for the film La noche de los Mayas is a powerfully expressive work straight out of the Yucatan jungles.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens.

CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.

Hannah Arendt on Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: Selections from the Hannah Arendt Personal Library Collection
Part of the 16th annual Hannah Arendt Center fall conference on Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism
Runs through Thursday, October 31, 2024
Stevenson Library Following Arendt’s passing in 1975, her extensive collection—comprising approximately 4,000 volumes, pamphlets, and ephemera—was relocated from her New York City apartment to Bard College. The Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, in collaboration with the Stevenson Library, is presenting an exhibition featuring three display tables that showcase items from Hannah Arendt’s personal library. This exhibition coincides with the Hannah Arendt Center's annual fall conference, taking place on October 17 and 18 at Bard College's Olin Hall. The exhibition is divided into three sections, emphasizing Arendt’s own works as well as key texts related to this year’s conference theme: Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism.
Curated by Jana Mader, Director of Academic Programs at the Hannah Arendt Center and Helene Tieger, Head of Archives & Special Collections.
A guided walking tour with Jana Mader on Friday, October 18th, beginning in the Olin Atrium at 2:15pm will lead participants to the exhibition at the Stevenson Library, and to Hannah Arendt's grave. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with Arendt’s legacy through conversation, reflection, and a walk in the fresh air. Meet at the Registration Table.
The Hannah Arendt Center's 16th annual fall conference will bring notable speakers to Bard College in Annandale to discuss the implications of tribalist politics just weeks before the national US election. On October 17 and 18, Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: How Can We Imagine a Pluralistic Politics will spark important conversations about the undeniable fact that tribalism is real, appealing, and dangerous, and explore how to make space for loyalty and meaning while fostering a more pluralistic politics.
Learn more about the conference and register (Bard students, faculty, and staff attend free) at hac.bard.edu/tribalism-2024.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center; Libraries at Bard College.

“It’s the Religion, Stupid”: Religious Dimensions in Current Crises
The Confrontation of Orthodoxies in Ukraine
Monday, October 7, 2024 12:30–2 pm
Bard Hall After the Cold War ended American politicians became fond of the mantra, “It's the Economy, Stupid.” They were not wrong, although other factors also have their sway. This autumn's series will consider global crises in which religion plays a central role, sometimes overrules self-interest, and needs to be understood for any address of the situation to be productive.
Presented by Bruce Chilton, Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Philosophy and Religion and director of the Institute of Advanced Theology, each lecture will have a different topic on the following Mondays.

Stevenson Library Following Arendt’s passing in 1975, her extensive collection—comprising approximately 4,000 volumes, pamphlets, and ephemera—was relocated from her New York City apartment to Bard College. The Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, in collaboration with the Stevenson Library, is presenting an exhibition featuring three display tables that showcase items from Hannah Arendt’s personal library. This exhibition coincides with the Hannah Arendt Center's annual fall conference, taking place on October 17 and 18 at Bard College's Olin Hall. The exhibition is divided into three sections, emphasizing Arendt’s own works as well as key texts related to this year’s conference theme: Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism.
Curated by Jana Mader, Director of Academic Programs at the Hannah Arendt Center and Helene Tieger, Head of Archives & Special Collections.
A guided walking tour with Jana Mader on Friday, October 18th, beginning in the Olin Atrium at 2:15pm will lead participants to the exhibition at the Stevenson Library, and to Hannah Arendt's grave. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with Arendt’s legacy through conversation, reflection, and a walk in the fresh air. Meet at the Registration Table.
The Hannah Arendt Center's 16th annual fall conference will bring notable speakers to Bard College in Annandale to discuss the implications of tribalist politics just weeks before the national US election. On October 17 and 18, Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: How Can We Imagine a Pluralistic Politics will spark important conversations about the undeniable fact that tribalism is real, appealing, and dangerous, and explore how to make space for loyalty and meaning while fostering a more pluralistic politics.

Five Centuries of Reductive Science vs. Artificial Intelligence: A Seminar Modeled After a Bard Common Course
George D. Rose, Bard class of ’63
Tuesday, October 8, 2024 3 pm
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium Since Galileo, the goal of scientific understanding is to explain complex phenomena with a compact description, a model. Yet today, artificial intelligence –specifically, machine-learning using neural nets– has engendered a radical departure from traditional approaches. Machine-learning using neural nets is not grounded in a unifying theory. There are no hypotheses being tested. Instead, the goal is to find parameters (often billions of them) that can capture the phenomenon under consideration and to then utilize the parameters predictively. This approach has met with stunning success in multiple venues, but it is no longer science as we have come to know it.
Where do we go from here? In this talk, George D. Rose will address this question using the protein folding problem as an example.Sponsored by: Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing.

A Reading of Select Works in Honor of Margaret Creal
Read by Elizabeth Shafer
Tuesday, October 8, 2024 5 pm
Shafer House On Tuesday, October 8 at 5pm in the Shafer House, Elizabeth Shafer will read from two of Margaret Creal’s works: her 1957 novel, A Lesson in Love, and her 1994 short story, London Bridge is Falling Down. The reading will be followed by a reception with refreshments. All are welcome.
Margaret Creal Shafer was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, where she began her piano study at the Royal Conservatory of Music. She moved to the Hudson Valley with her husband, the late Fredrick Q. Shafer “Fritz,” former rector of St. Johns Church in Barrytown, and Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Bard College. She taught piano for over forty years and authored three books: two short-story collections, The Man Who Sold Prayers and Singing Sky, and a novel, A Lesson in Love, and was a devoted member of the Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle and quintessential host. Her house is now the home of the Written Arts Program, a fitting tribute to an author and beloved community member.
Elizabeth Shafer is an artist, writer, and retired lawyer. She paints primarily in oils, but also works in pastels, printmaking, and encaustics. She had a solo exhibition of her art work at the Saugerties Public Library in 2019. Her chapbook, Wellsprings, was published in 2019. She was a Contributor in Poetry at the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference in August 2015. She is involved in environmental issues and has been a Board Member since 1991 of the Lawyers’ Committee on Nuclear Policy. She lives with her husband, Stephen Shafer, on their sheep farm in Saugerties, N.Y. Margaret Creal was her beloved mother-in-law.Sponsored by: Office of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs; Written Arts Program.

Ariella Aïsha Azoulay: Unlearning at the Threshold of the Museum
Center for Human Rights and the Arts Talks Series
Tuesday, October 8, 2024 6–7:30 pm
RKC 103 In this lecture, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay invites the audience to stay at the threshold of the museum in order to recognize the impossibility of decolonizing museums without decolonizing the world. Refusing to study what was plundered as mere objects as museums command us to do, but rather as evidence of a destroyed world, Azoulay decenters the category of “restitution,” and proposes to understand plunder as communal remains. Azoulay weaves the plunder of objects stolen from Jews in Europe—and their partial restitution within the broader picture of European plunder from other places, among them from the world of her ancestors in the Maghreb, from Palestine, and West Africa, in an attempt to undo the exceptionalization of “the Jews” which continues to serve Euro-American imperial interests on a global scale.Sponsored by: Center for Human Rights and the Arts.

Campus Center, Multipurpose Room The Bard Community Arts Collective, in partnership with Bard’s Theater & Performance Department and the Hannah Arendt Center for Democracy, seeks to energize and motivate voters through a revolutionary, audience-immersive civic theater round table event with multidisciplinary artist Aaron Landsman. Landsman's body of work leverages the collective power of community voices, civic engagement, urban design, and storytelling to galvanize audiences around new possible political and civic action. The goal is to inspire and activate voters on the Bard campus and in the surrounding community to engage with the democratic process, learn about the most pressing local and national issues, and grow as active and thoughtful Hudson Valley community members. The evening will also offer information on registration, voting and further ways to get involved
With Ashley Kelly Tata’s class on Theater and Democracy, which considers theater as a rehearsal for engaging in democratic processes, we will use embodiment as a tool for political action and learning. Furthermore, this project will introduce tools for creative civic organizing and action.
Additionally, this project will explore themes of democracy around the world, seeking to unify the many international perspectives and voices at Bard. Members of the general public in the surrounding community, with an emphasis on youth and new/young voters, are also invited. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.

Hannah Arendt on Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: Selections from the Hannah Arendt Personal Library Collection
Part of the 16th annual Hannah Arendt Center fall conference on Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism
Runs through Thursday, October 31, 2024
Stevenson Library Following Arendt’s passing in 1975, her extensive collection—comprising approximately 4,000 volumes, pamphlets, and ephemera—was relocated from her New York City apartment to Bard College. The Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, in collaboration with the Stevenson Library, is presenting an exhibition featuring three display tables that showcase items from Hannah Arendt’s personal library. This exhibition coincides with the Hannah Arendt Center's annual fall conference, taking place on October 17 and 18 at Bard College's Olin Hall. The exhibition is divided into three sections, emphasizing Arendt’s own works as well as key texts related to this year’s conference theme: Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism.
Curated by Jana Mader, Director of Academic Programs at the Hannah Arendt Center and Helene Tieger, Head of Archives & Special Collections.
A guided walking tour with Jana Mader on Friday, October 18th, beginning in the Olin Atrium at 2:15pm will lead participants to the exhibition at the Stevenson Library, and to Hannah Arendt's grave. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with Arendt’s legacy through conversation, reflection, and a walk in the fresh air. Meet at the Registration Table.
The Hannah Arendt Center's 16th annual fall conference will bring notable speakers to Bard College in Annandale to discuss the implications of tribalist politics just weeks before the national US election. On October 17 and 18, Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: How Can We Imagine a Pluralistic Politics will spark important conversations about the undeniable fact that tribalism is real, appealing, and dangerous, and explore how to make space for loyalty and meaning while fostering a more pluralistic politics.

Arthur Bressan Jr.'s Forbidden Letters (16mm, 1979, 74 mins)
Thursday, October 10, 2024 7–9 pm
Ottaway Theater Queer trans film archivist and historian Elizabeth Purchell presents a screening of Arthur Bressan Jr.'s Forbidden Letters (16mm, 1979, 74 mins). A landmark classic of x-rated gay adult cinema, Bressan's Forbidden Letters tells the story of a romance set in San Francisco at the height of gay liberation. Larry (Robert Adams) is trying to pass the time on the day his older lover Richard (Richard Locke) is set to be released from prison. Unable to clear his head through casual sex, he reads through his letters to Richard — letters he could never send out of fear that his outing would lead to a harsher sentence. As Richard’s release draws nearer, the question remains: will the spark still be there when he gets out?
Followed by a discussion on queer film preservation with Critic in Residence Ed Halter

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

Bard Farm This three session workshop series, to be held at Bard Farm, will consist of practical, hands-on trainings in which participants will go through the process of harvesting, preparing and sharing farm-grown food using traditional, non-electric food preparation methods. Each session will end with a collective meal. The sessions, individually and as a whole, are intended to attune the participants with the earth and our human bodies, to understand where food is coming from and where it's going. Connected as a sacred gift, rather than in isolation, we will eat together.
Register here. It is preferred participants come to every session, as we will be building on our relationship and knowledge. There will be three sessions, October 4 and 11 from 3–6pm and November 3 from 2–6pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].
Hannah Arendt on Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: Selections from the Hannah Arendt Personal Library Collection
Part of the 16th annual Hannah Arendt Center fall conference on Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism
Runs through Thursday, October 31, 2024
Stevenson Library Following Arendt’s passing in 1975, her extensive collection—comprising approximately 4,000 volumes, pamphlets, and ephemera—was relocated from her New York City apartment to Bard College. The Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, in collaboration with the Stevenson Library, is presenting an exhibition featuring three display tables that showcase items from Hannah Arendt’s personal library. This exhibition coincides with the Hannah Arendt Center's annual fall conference, taking place on October 17 and 18 at Bard College's Olin Hall. The exhibition is divided into three sections, emphasizing Arendt’s own works as well as key texts related to this year’s conference theme: Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism.
Curated by Jana Mader, Director of Academic Programs at the Hannah Arendt Center and Helene Tieger, Head of Archives & Special Collections.
A guided walking tour with Jana Mader on Friday, October 18th, beginning in the Olin Atrium at 2:15pm will lead participants to the exhibition at the Stevenson Library, and to Hannah Arendt's grave. This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with Arendt’s legacy through conversation, reflection, and a walk in the fresh air. Meet at the Registration Table.
The Hannah Arendt Center's 16th annual fall conference will bring notable speakers to Bard College in Annandale to discuss the implications of tribalist politics just weeks before the national US election. On October 17 and 18, Tribalism and Cosmopolitanism: How Can We Imagine a Pluralistic Politics will spark important conversations about the undeniable fact that tribalism is real, appealing, and dangerous, and explore how to make space for loyalty and meaning while fostering a more pluralistic politics.
Learn more about the conference and register (Bard students, faculty, and staff attend free) at hac.bard.edu/tribalism-2024.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center; Libraries at Bard College.

What is design? As a noun, design can mean the plan to construct something, the composition of a physical or digital object, or the thing itself; as a verb, it is the action of materializing an idea with intent. Drawings are a crucial part of many creators’ practices, serving purposes as varied as the techniques employed in their making. While some designers don’t draw at all (and might conceptualize with models or build intuitively), others register each step of their progress.
This exhibit showcases highlights from our archives that illustrate the different functions and strategies drawings may serve, made by designers from distinct countries, periods, and backgrounds. By juxtaposing these works, this display reveals unexpected dialogues and comparisons between people who would otherwise not be in the same conversation, yet share a desire to materialize an idea by putting pen to paper.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 27, from 2–4pm. For more information, call 845-758-6822.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger marks the first in-depth examination of artist Ho Tzu Nyen’s multifaceted practice (b. 1976, Singapore) in the United States. Widely considered one of the most innovative artists to emerge internationally in the past 20 years, Ho creates complex and compelling video installations that probe reality, history, and fiction rooted in the culture of Southeast Asia. Time & the Tiger features five immersive film and multimedia installations spanning two decades that draw from historical events, documentary footage, art history, music videos, and mythical stories to investigate the construction of history, the narrative of myths, and the plurality of identities. For more information, call 845-758-7598, or e-mail [email protected].
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Remember to Dream revisits the range and breadth of Carrie Mae Weems’ prolific career through seldom displayed and lesser-known works that demonstrate the evolution of her pioneering, politically engaged practice. Moving beyond iconic projects, Remember to Dream seeks to rebalance understanding of Weems’ artistic development over the past 30 years while locating her work in the context of her own lived experiences and commitment to activism. Ranging from large-scale installations to serial bodies of photography, the works in the exhibition provide a through-line from the Civil Rights Movement to Black Lives Matter, tracing significant moments of racial reckoning through Weems’ own lens.

CCS Galleries Start Making Sense brings together highlights from the collections housed at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College; the art collection, Special Collections, part of the CCS Bard library, and the CCS Bard archives. At a moment when the Center is poised to greatly expand its library, archives and classrooms with the new 6,000 sq foot Keith Haring Wing, doubling the size of the library and adding 75% more collection storage below ground (opening in 2025), Start Making Sense creates an open dialogue between artworks and the contexts (exhibitions, institutions, galleries, events, curators, and collectors) which literally “make sense” of the works on display. It does so in a playful dialogue between art objects, archives, ephemera, and rare books held at CCS Bard beginning with the Marieluise Hessel Collection and moving to more recent gifts from a broad range of collectors, curators, artists and others who have placed their gifts at the disposition of the students, faculty and outside researchers who form the CCS Bard community.
