Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Hailed as “a singer to watch” (Classical Voice America), London-born mezzo soprano Joanne Evans prides herself on her versatility in spanning various musical genres - and on her comedic timing. Of Joanne’s performance as Meg Page in Verdi’s Falstaf at Berkshire Opera Festival, Opera News wrote that her “striking personal timbre and refined artistry... made [for] a memorable Meg—not always an easy feat.” Joanne is excited to make her role debut as Olga in Eugene Onegin with Music Academy of the West this Summer, after which she will perform the roles of Maddalena in Rigoletto, and on tour as Stéphano in Romeo et Juliette as part of her role as Resident Artist with Opera Colorado. Joanne was recently named a winner of the Met Opera Competition Boston District, and was a finalist in the 2019 Harlem Opera Theatre competition. Elsewhere Joanne is credited as co-writer and vocalist of the theme song for the BBC show Pitch Battle (2017). www.joanne-evans.com

The Keith Haring Lecture in Art and Activism: Constantina Zavistanos
Introduced by Evan Calder Williams, Associate Professor, CCS Bard This event will have ASL and open captions. In order to receive a Zoom link, registration is required in advance on Eventbrite here.
Wednesday, May 4, 2022 5–7 pm
Online Event Constantina Zavitsanos (Keith Haring Fellow 2021-22) is a conceptual artist who works in sculpture, performance, text, and sound. Zavitsanos’s work elaborates what is invaluable in the re/production of debt, dependency, and other shared resources.
Their work questions how incapacity and the seemingly inconsequential performances of social life might exceed the threshold of measure. Zavitsanos’s practice celebrates disability and debt as difference beyond separability and works to reveal the false opposition of dependency and autonomy––a myth often used to reinforce scarcity (for the many) amid abundance (for the few). Yet, distribution itself has many forms: from the art historical takeaway, to the ubiquitously popular giveaway, from the solution of making a way, to the dissolution of making no way and living in means without ends. Zavitsanos’s work stays with this means beyond measure to deny measurement its claims on life at large (and small).
L&D Motel, their solo show at PARTICIPANT INC, New York, NY (2019), formally experimented with the holographic principle of quantum gravity through an installation that was built into the architecture of the gallery and which sculpted low frequency laser waves and infrasonic sound waves by feel. The exhibition foregrounded non-visual knowledge through participants’ experiences of touch and vibration. Zavitsanos has exhibited and performed in New York at the New Museum, Brooklyn Museum, The Kitchen, Artists Space, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, MoMA PS1, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and Essex Street, and elsewhere in the U.S. at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH and Franklin Street Works, Stamford, CT. They have exhibited and performed internationally at Haus der Kulturen der Welt and the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, Germany; Tramway in Glasgow, Scotland; Artspeak in Vancouver, Canada; Fri Art Kunsthalle Fribourg in Fribourg and the Gebert Stiftung für Kultur in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland; and the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
With Park McArthur, they co-authored texts for Women and Performance: The Journal of Feminist Theory (Routledge, 2013), and Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility (MIT Press, 2017). Zavitsanos was a New Museum Research and Development Season: SPECULATION Artist-in-Residence (2015) and was awarded the Wynn Newhouse Award (2015). They were a visiting artist at the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada (2017).
With others in New York’s disability community, Zavitsanos co-organized the cross-disability arts festival, I wanna be with you everywhere, at Performance Space New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Zavitsanos holds an M.F.A. from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia and a B.F.A. from Millersville University and attended the Whitney Independent Study Program.
Zavitsanos was the 2021 recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Art’s Roy Lichtenstein Award.

Putting the Cooker on Low: A Digital Commission by Ama Josephine Budge
Friday, May 6, 2022 12–1:30 pm
Online Event Join us for the launch of Putting the Cooker on Low, a new Digital Commission by Ama Josephine Budge. Ama was the 2020/21 Keith Haring Fellow in Art and Activism at Bard, and we are honored to welcome her back to premiere her new video. Ama is a British-Ghanaian speculative writer, artist, researcher and pleasure activist whose intradisciplinary praxis works to hold together Blackness, pleasure, art and ecology towards queerly climate changing futures.
Putting the Cooker on Low explores the daily rituals that allow Black women, femmes, and nonbinary folk to keep creating in the midst of spiritual, emotional, familial, societal, and ecological crises. Putting the Cooker on Low intimates that which happens in the simmer and bubble, on the back burner and the top oven, in the side eye and the hot pot. Thinking with an ancestry of Black feminist petitions for self-preservation, this visual essay works to make visible and then unsettle the ways in which Black womxn artists internalize value-(as)-labor-(as)-capital. The cracks, crevasses, and slippages these antierotic modes of survival engender—as felt by both human and nonhuman ecologies—remain forced from view until they become black holes, into which we are swallowed and disappear. Often without a trace. It is with the cooker on low, that resistance might reduce into potency. It is with the cooker on low that we never run out of gas.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space “God should have made girls lethal when he made monsters of men.” - Elisabeth Hewer
A femme fatale (literally "fatal woman"), sometimes called a man-eater or vamp, is a mystic character that is a beautiful, and seductive woman whose charms trap her lovers, often leading them into compromising, deadly circumstances. An archetype of literature and art. Her ability to enchant, entice and hypnotize her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as verging on supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, witch, having power over men. Femmes fatales are typically villainous, or at least morally ambiguous, and always associated with a sense of mystification, and unease. This projects tracks the course of the making of a femme fatale through a non-linear fashion: Innocence, Growing Up, Vulnerability, Betrayal, Revenge and the process of Healing.
Soprano Alexis Seminario is a second year student in the Graduate VAP.

“A Box Full of Darkness”
Sunday, May 8, 2022 7–8:30 pm
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space
“A Box Full of Darkness” is a program exploring the experience of loss, and its transformation into the beauty of hope and connection. Taking inspiration from Mary Oliver’s poem “The Uses of Sorrow”, mezzo-soprano Sarah Rauch and pianist Elias Dagher curated this musical journey for the audience to reflect on their own emotional experiences amidst a world suffering profound losses and grief. The program includes music by composers Jake Heggie, Viktor Ullman, Enrique Truán, Joaquin Rodrigo, and Ruth Schonthal, among others; and features cellist Lily Moerschel and harpist Taylor Fleshman.
Mezzo-soprano Sarah Rauch (she/they) is a wholehearted and versatile performer whose musical explorations center on creating meaningfully connective performances. Sarah is a strong advocate for contemporary and under-performed repertoire, as well as the re-examination of narratives found within the traditional canon. Recent projects have included the curation and performance of the digital-release concert “I Bear Your Colors” - a program celebrating the unique relationships between queer women though American art song and chamber music - as well as performance of excerpts from György Kurtág’s Kafka Fragmente in collaboration with musicians from The Orchestra Now. Sarah was a featured recitalist in 2021 with ENY-NATS as the winner of their collegiate division art song competition, and is currently engaged as a teaching artist with ROK (Reimagining Opera for Kids), bringing opera to schools and community spaces. Other operatic credits include the Frog and Woodpecker in Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts; Anna 1 in Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins and Toby in Giancarlo Menotti’s The Medium with Bard’s Vocal Arts Program; Zweite Dame in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte with Bloomington Chamber Opera; and Isolier in Rossini’s Le Comte Ory with Chicago Summer Opera.

Online Event The Bard Center for the Study of Hate (BCSH) and partners at Western States Center and the Montana Human Rights Network welcome network members to attend the launch of a co-written and co-published toolkit called A Community Guide for Opposing Hate.
The purpose of the manual is to provide those who want to “do something” about hate with the steps to improve their communities, not only for the immediate aftermath of a hateful act, but for years to come. It details best practices for how to start a local group opposing hate and to improve the work of organizations already engaged in this effort.
Written by people with decades of experience in the field, the guide notes that “hate may be manifested by different means (rallies, posters, social media postings, crimes, etc.) and may have a variety of targets (people of different ethnicity or religion, gender or sexual identity, even different politics). It underscores that it is a mistake to ignore hateful acts, as hate "imbedded as a noble idea can inspire individuals to acts of violence.”
The guide has detailed sections on messaging, traditional media and social media strategies, working with politicians and schools and academics, hate crimes, security, and research. Importantly, it also has a section on the importance of protecting free speech rights, and how, while doing so, to make the hater’s free speech exercise backfire.

The Keith Haring Lecture in Art and Activism: Constantina Zavistanos
Introduced by Evan Calder Williams, Associate Professor, CCS Bard This event will have ASL and open captions. In order to receive a Zoom link, registration is required in advance on Eventbrite here.
Wednesday, May 4, 2022 5–7 pm
Online Event Constantina Zavitsanos (Keith Haring Fellow 2021-22) is a conceptual artist who works in sculpture, performance, text, and sound. Zavitsanos’s work elaborates what is invaluable in the re/production of debt, dependency, and other shared resources.
Their work questions how incapacity and the seemingly inconsequential performances of social life might exceed the threshold of measure. Zavitsanos’s practice celebrates disability and debt as difference beyond separability and works to reveal the false opposition of dependency and autonomy––a myth often used to reinforce scarcity (for the many) amid abundance (for the few). Yet, distribution itself has many forms: from the art historical takeaway, to the ubiquitously popular giveaway, from the solution of making a way, to the dissolution of making no way and living in means without ends. Zavitsanos’s work stays with this means beyond measure to deny measurement its claims on life at large (and small).
L&D Motel, their solo show at PARTICIPANT INC, New York, NY (2019), formally experimented with the holographic principle of quantum gravity through an installation that was built into the architecture of the gallery and which sculpted low frequency laser waves and infrasonic sound waves by feel. The exhibition foregrounded non-visual knowledge through participants’ experiences of touch and vibration. Zavitsanos has exhibited and performed in New York at the New Museum, Brooklyn Museum, The Kitchen, Artists Space, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, MoMA PS1, The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, and Essex Street, and elsewhere in the U.S. at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH and Franklin Street Works, Stamford, CT. They have exhibited and performed internationally at Haus der Kulturen der Welt and the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, Germany; Tramway in Glasgow, Scotland; Artspeak in Vancouver, Canada; Fri Art Kunsthalle Fribourg in Fribourg and the Gebert Stiftung für Kultur in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland; and the Wysing Arts Centre in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
With Park McArthur, they co-authored texts for Women and Performance: The Journal of Feminist Theory (Routledge, 2013), and Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility (MIT Press, 2017). Zavitsanos was a New Museum Research and Development Season: SPECULATION Artist-in-Residence (2015) and was awarded the Wynn Newhouse Award (2015). They were a visiting artist at the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada (2017).
With others in New York’s disability community, Zavitsanos co-organized the cross-disability arts festival, I wanna be with you everywhere, at Performance Space New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Zavitsanos holds an M.F.A. from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia and a B.F.A. from Millersville University and attended the Whitney Independent Study Program.
Zavitsanos was the 2021 recipient of the Foundation for Contemporary Art’s Roy Lichtenstein Award.

Putting the Cooker on Low: A Digital Commission by Ama Josephine Budge
Friday, May 6, 2022 12–1:30 pm
Online Event Join us for the launch of Putting the Cooker on Low, a new Digital Commission by Ama Josephine Budge. Ama was the 2020/21 Keith Haring Fellow in Art and Activism at Bard, and we are honored to welcome her back to premiere her new video. Ama is a British-Ghanaian speculative writer, artist, researcher and pleasure activist whose intradisciplinary praxis works to hold together Blackness, pleasure, art and ecology towards queerly climate changing futures.
Putting the Cooker on Low explores the daily rituals that allow Black women, femmes, and nonbinary folk to keep creating in the midst of spiritual, emotional, familial, societal, and ecological crises. Putting the Cooker on Low intimates that which happens in the simmer and bubble, on the back burner and the top oven, in the side eye and the hot pot. Thinking with an ancestry of Black feminist petitions for self-preservation, this visual essay works to make visible and then unsettle the ways in which Black womxn artists internalize value-(as)-labor-(as)-capital. The cracks, crevasses, and slippages these antierotic modes of survival engender—as felt by both human and nonhuman ecologies—remain forced from view until they become black holes, into which we are swallowed and disappear. Often without a trace. It is with the cooker on low, that resistance might reduce into potency. It is with the cooker on low that we never run out of gas.

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space “God should have made girls lethal when he made monsters of men.” - Elisabeth Hewer
A femme fatale (literally "fatal woman"), sometimes called a man-eater or vamp, is a mystic character that is a beautiful, and seductive woman whose charms trap her lovers, often leading them into compromising, deadly circumstances. An archetype of literature and art. Her ability to enchant, entice and hypnotize her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as verging on supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, witch, having power over men. Femmes fatales are typically villainous, or at least morally ambiguous, and always associated with a sense of mystification, and unease. This projects tracks the course of the making of a femme fatale through a non-linear fashion: Innocence, Growing Up, Vulnerability, Betrayal, Revenge and the process of Healing.
Soprano Alexis Seminario is a second year student in the Graduate VAP. Operatic roles include Forester’s Wife (The Cunning Little Vixen), Monica (The Medium), Atalanta (Xerxes), Lusya (Moscow Cheryomushki), Helena (A Midsummer Night’s Dream).

Graduate Degree Recital: Sarah Rauch, mezzo-soprano, with Collaborative Pianist Elias Dagher
“A Box Full of Darkness”
Sunday, May 8, 2022 7–8:30 pm
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space
“A Box Full of Darkness” is a program exploring the experience of loss, and its transformation into the beauty of hope and connection. Taking inspiration from Mary Oliver’s poem “The Uses of Sorrow”, mezzo-soprano Sarah Rauch and pianist Elias Dagher curated this musical journey for the audience to reflect on their own emotional experiences amidst a world suffering profound losses and grief. The program includes music by composers Jake Heggie, Viktor Ullman, Enrique Truán, Joaquin Rodrigo, and Ruth Schonthal, among others; and features cellist Lily Moerschel and harpist Taylor Fleshman.
Mezzo-soprano Sarah Rauch (she/they) is a wholehearted and versatile performer whose musical explorations center on creating meaningfully connective performances. Sarah is a strong advocate for contemporary and under-performed repertoire, as well as the re-examination of narratives found within the traditional canon. Recent projects have included the curation and performance of the digital-release concert “I Bear Your Colors” - a program celebrating the unique relationships between queer women though American art song and chamber music - as well as performance of excerpts from György Kurtág’s Kafka Fragmente in collaboration with musicians from The Orchestra Now. Sarah was a featured recitalist in 2021 with ENY-NATS as the winner of their collegiate division art song competition, and is currently engaged as a teaching artist with ROK (Reimagining Opera for Kids), bringing opera to schools and community spaces. Other operatic credits include the Frog and Woodpecker in Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts; Anna 1 in Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins and Toby in Giancarlo Menotti’s The Medium with Bard’s Vocal Arts Program; Zweite Dame in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte with Bloomington Chamber Opera; and Isolier in Rossini’s Le Comte Ory with Chicago Summer Opera. A native of southeastern Ohio, Sarah holds a Bachelor’s degree in voice from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and is completing her second year in Bard’s Graduate Vocal Arts Program.

Online Event The Bard Center for the Study of Hate (BCSH) and partners at Western States Center and the Montana Human Rights Network welcome network members to attend the launch of a co-written and co-published toolkit called A Community Guide for Opposing Hate.
The purpose of the manual is to provide those who want to “do something” about hate with the steps to improve their communities, not only for the immediate aftermath of a hateful act, but for years to come. It details best practices for how to start a local group opposing hate and to improve the work of organizations already engaged in this effort.
Written by people with decades of experience in the field, the guide notes that “hate may be manifested by different means (rallies, posters, social media postings, crimes, etc.) and may have a variety of targets (people of different ethnicity or religion, gender or sexual identity, even different politics). It underscores that it is a mistake to ignore hateful acts, as hate "imbedded as a noble idea can inspire individuals to acts of violence.”
The guide has detailed sections on messaging, traditional media and social media strategies, working with politicians and schools and academics, hate crimes, security, and research. Importantly, it also has a section on the importance of protecting free speech rights, and how, while doing so, to make the hater’s free speech exercise backfire.
