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.

Racial, Gender, and Regional Inequalities in Brazil’s Care Provision and the Evolving Role of the State
Levy Institute Research Program of Gender Equality and the Economy: A Speaker Series Featuring Professor Luiza Nassif Pires
Monday, September 9, 2024 5–6 pm
Blithewood The Gender Equality and the Economy Program of the Levy Economics Institute hosts a speaker series with practitioners and scholars across disciplines from around the globe to address the ever-relevant topic of “Gender Equality and the Economy.” Speakers will present their research and discuss differing approaches to economic analyses through a gender lens. The series highlights the importance of taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the implications of how gender and economic inequalities intersect in history, policy, and the everyday.
Join us for our first session of the 2024 fall semester, with Luiza Nassif Pires, assistant professor at the Institute of Economics at Unicamp and the Director of the Research Center on Macroeconomics of Inequalities (MADE) at FEA/USP. This presentation explores the multifaceted challenges and implications of care work in Brazil, drawing from several comprehensive studies conducted as part of the Made Research Center on Macroeconomics of Inequalities. Nassif Pires will introduce the Social Infrastructure Care Indicator (IISC), developed to assess the availability and inequality of paid care services across Brazil using data from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADc) for the 4th quarter of 2023. The findings reveal significant regional disparities, and a contrast between the dominance of the private sector in care provision and the public's reliance on state services. Additionally, she will examine results and insights from a study on the "cost of motherhood," and other studies on care in Brazil, which shed light on the complex interplay of gender, race, and socioeconomic status in shaping care dynamics. Collectively, these studies underscore the urgent need for policies that redistribute care responsibilities, enhance public care infrastructure, and support women’s economic participation. Nassif Pires aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of care work in Brazil and its broader social implications, advocating for systemic changes to address these entrenched inequalities.
Dr. Nassif Pires' presentation will be followed by an open Q&A session with audience members. Both those in person and on Zoom are welcome to ask questions. Light refreshments will be served.

Making the Petromasculine Dance - Why We Need an Intersectional Perspective on Sustainability Transition
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 6–8 pm
W15 Cafe at Bard College Berlin (Waldstrasse 15, 13156 Berlin) On September 10, the panel discussion "Making the Petromasculine Dance - Why We Need an Intersectional Perspective on Sustainability Transition" will feature distinguished panelists Cara New Daggett and Kerstin Meissner from the Research Institute For Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS). The discussion will explore queering and intersectional perspectives on culture, power dynamics and (energy) transition within a sustainability framework. The discussion will be moderated by Bard College Berlin faculty member Berit Ebert, whose research focuses on the European Union with a specific lens on the intersection between gender equality, the rule-of-law, and democracy. Please register here.
Cara New Daggett is Associate Professor of Political Science at Virginia Tech and a Senior Fellow at the Research Institute For Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS), Potsdam, Germany. She researches the politics of energy and the environment, feminist studies of science and technology, and histories of empire. Her research challenges the technocratic approach to energy transition and recognizes how energy upholds dominant cultures and structures of work and power. Her first award-winning book "The Birth of Energy: Fossil Fuels, Thermodynamics, and the Politics of Work" has been translated into multiple languages. In addition to academic research, Daggett has also enjoyed public-facing writing, podcasting, and engagements with artists and architects around questions of transition - especially how human activities are valued.
Kerstin Meißner works as a scholar, cultural researcher, and social change facilitator and has been a Fellow at the Research Institute For Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS) since June 2023. With a holistic understanding of social change processes that connect body, mind, and emotions, she researches, writes and teaches transdisciplinarily at the intersections of academia, art, culture and activism. In her dissertation "Relational Becoming. Social Belonging as a Process" (transcript, 2019), she explores the relational and dynamic nature of belonging through ficto-analytical writing. Trained as an educational scientist, she has spent the last few years researching and writing about how sounds and sounding provides access to our relational and entangled realities and could help create other futures. Her current research on sustainability and rave and club culture is published as a podcast series called "Shifting Basslines". All of her becoming-with-the-world is driven by the co-creation of resilient and environmentally just webs of human and more-than-human life. Her favorite spaces are forests, dance floors, and libraries.

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.

Chapel of the Holy Innocents Building on ancient Kabbalistic traditions that see language, the voice, and the mouth as tools of cosmic creation, Victoria will reveal the Hebrew alphabet as an instrument for playing with the mouth. By thinking with foundational Kabbalistic texts such as the Book of Creation (Sefer Yetzirah) and the writings of Abraham Abulafia, Victoria will demonstrate how the letters have been, and can be, used for daily work with speech and the body. She will also perform works inspired by the biblical Songs of Solomon, as well as late antique Jewish amulets.
Victoria grew up in Jerusalem in an Orthodox Jewish family with roots in Egypt and Iran. She has performed and taught at universities around the world including Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Michigan University, Virginia Tech, Monash University, Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University. Her work combines Jewish mysticism, Dada, surrealism, and feminism.Sponsored by: Hebrew, Jewish Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Music, Theater & Performance.

Jews on Campus Pick a Side: On the Demand That Jews Be Public
Keith Kahn Harris, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and Senior Lecturer at Leo Baeck College
Tuesday, September 17, 2024 4:30–5:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 202 The period since October 7, 2023 has seen the emergence of a "complicity discourse" manifested in injunctions to speak publicly about Israel-Palestine. While this is particularly prevalent in pro-Palestinian activism, pro-Israel groups also associate silence with complicity. This lecture explores the profound implications for Jewish life of competing demands that Jews be public. It is becoming necessary for Jews across the political spectrum to re-consider the value of the private, mundane realms of Jewish existence.
Keith Kahn-Harris is a British sociologist and writer. He is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and a senior lecturer at Leo Baeck College. The author of eight books, his next book Everyday Jews: Why the Jewish People Are Not Who You Think They Are will be published in March 2025.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center; Human Rights Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program; Jewish Studies Program; Politics Program; Sociology Program.

Finding Keys to Other Doors: Research protocols and investigations in colonial archives
Presented Lucas Ondak, Curatorial Studies, Bard College, and Frances Cathryn, editorial projects manager, Forge Project.
Friday, September 20, 2024 2–4:30 pm
Olin 107 This two-hour workshop will cover two perspectives on a research project formed between Forge Project, a Native-led arts organization, and Bard College Rethinking Place initiative. The collaboration between the arts space and academic institution hopes to uncover the history of the land in the surrounding region over time. This workshop will try to answer the question of the role and use of colonial archives in decolonial contexts.
Using as its starting point the moment of full displacement of the Moh-He-Con-Nuck from their homelands (and partnering with the Stockbridge Munsee Community Cultural Affairs department to share these histories), Frances Cathryn and Lucas Ondak are working to produce a land “narrative” that will answer the question of the origin of New Forge Road where Forge Project is situated.
Frances will share details on the formation of the project, and how Forge will work with the SMC to create a model for replicable research in the future. Lucas will explain the process of finding evidence through primarily local, in-person archival research, the ethical challenges of utilizing archives predicated on Indigenous erasure, and the methodologies and protocols for interacting with them. Participants are then invited to bring their own research projects for feedback with the group in a post-presentation discussion. Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program.

“It’s the Religion, Stupid”: Religious Dimensions in Current Crises
White Supremacy in the American Elections
Monday, September 23, 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.
September 23: White Supremacy in the American Elections October 7: The Confrontation of Orthodoxies in Ukraine October 21: “From the River to the Sea” in Likud's Presentation November 4: “From the River to the Sea” in the Hamas CharterSponsored by: Institute of Advanced Theology.

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.

Politics of the Past: German and Russian Memory Cultures and Their Meaning for the Present
Friday, September 27, 2024 7–9 pm
Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (Jägerstraße 22-23, 10117 Berlin, Germany) Postwar Germany's memory culture is rightly lauded as a rare example of a country coming to terms with its tainted past. But with increasing frequency and intensity, critics have begun to wonder whether this model has run its course, or at least needs to be updated or reexamined. Post-Soviet Russia, meanwhile, has been marked by the near-total lack of such a culture. The trauma and crimes of the past have purposefully forgotten or actively misremembered--a memory black hole that makes possible authoritarianism at home and war abroad.
Led by Bard College Berlin's writer-in-residence, expert panelists in the politics of memory in Germany and Russia will explore, discuss, and debate how each society has incorporated—or ignored—the injury and convulsions of the past, and how these respective memory cultures weigh on the present day. By placing the two in contrast and dialogue, this event will explore both the possibilities and limits of memory, with urgent lessons for the contemporary moment.
Speakers: Professor Stefanie Schüler-Springorum is Director of the Berlin-based Center for Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University of Berlin. She previously was the Director of the Institute for the History of German Jews in Hamburg and Chair of the Leo Baeck Institute’s Academic Working Group in Germany. Her work focuses predominantly on German and German-Jewish history in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Sergey Bondarenko is a historian and researcher at the Memorial Society. He is the author of the forthcoming book Lost in Memory: Memorial Society and the Battle for the Russian Past.
Joshua Yaffa is a contributing writer for The New Yorker. He is also the author of Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin's Russia, which won the Orwell Prize in 2021. He has also written for Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, National Geographic, and other publications. He is currently the inaugural writer-in-residence at Bard College Berlin and was previously a fellow at The American Academy in Berlin.

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.

Racial, Gender, and Regional Inequalities in Brazil’s Care Provision and the Evolving Role of the State
Levy Institute Research Program of Gender Equality and the Economy: A Speaker Series Featuring Professor Luiza Nassif Pires
Monday, September 9, 2024 5–6 pm
Blithewood The Gender Equality and the Economy Program of the Levy Economics Institute hosts a speaker series with practitioners and scholars across disciplines from around the globe to address the ever-relevant topic of “Gender Equality and the Economy.” Speakers will present their research and discuss differing approaches to economic analyses through a gender lens. The series highlights the importance of taking an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the implications of how gender and economic inequalities intersect in history, policy, and the everyday.
Join us for our first session of the 2024 fall semester, with Luiza Nassif Pires, assistant professor at the Institute of Economics at Unicamp and the Director of the Research Center on Macroeconomics of Inequalities (MADE) at FEA/USP. This presentation explores the multifaceted challenges and implications of care work in Brazil, drawing from several comprehensive studies conducted as part of the Made Research Center on Macroeconomics of Inequalities. Nassif Pires will introduce the Social Infrastructure Care Indicator (IISC), developed to assess the availability and inequality of paid care services across Brazil using data from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADc) for the 4th quarter of 2023. The findings reveal significant regional disparities, and a contrast between the dominance of the private sector in care provision and the public's reliance on state services. Additionally, she will examine results and insights from a study on the "cost of motherhood," and other studies on care in Brazil, which shed light on the complex interplay of gender, race, and socioeconomic status in shaping care dynamics. Collectively, these studies underscore the urgent need for policies that redistribute care responsibilities, enhance public care infrastructure, and support women’s economic participation. Nassif Pires aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of care work in Brazil and its broader social implications, advocating for systemic changes to address these entrenched inequalities.
Dr. Nassif Pires' presentation will be followed by an open Q&A session with audience members. Both those in person and on Zoom are welcome to ask questions. Light refreshments will be served.

Making the Petromasculine Dance - Why We Need an Intersectional Perspective on Sustainability Transition
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 6–8 pm
W15 Cafe at Bard College Berlin (Waldstrasse 15, 13156 Berlin) On September 10, the panel discussion "Making the Petromasculine Dance - Why We Need an Intersectional Perspective on Sustainability Transition" will feature distinguished panelists Cara New Daggett and Kerstin Meissner from the Research Institute For Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS). The discussion will explore queering and intersectional perspectives on culture, power dynamics and (energy) transition within a sustainability framework. The discussion will be moderated by Bard College Berlin faculty member Berit Ebert, whose research focuses on the European Union with a specific lens on the intersection between gender equality, the rule-of-law, and democracy. Please register here.
Cara New Daggett is Associate Professor of Political Science at Virginia Tech and a Senior Fellow at the Research Institute For Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS), Potsdam, Germany. She researches the politics of energy and the environment, feminist studies of science and technology, and histories of empire. Her research challenges the technocratic approach to energy transition and recognizes how energy upholds dominant cultures and structures of work and power. Her first award-winning book "The Birth of Energy: Fossil Fuels, Thermodynamics, and the Politics of Work" has been translated into multiple languages. In addition to academic research, Daggett has also enjoyed public-facing writing, podcasting, and engagements with artists and architects around questions of transition - especially how human activities are valued.
Kerstin Meißner works as a scholar, cultural researcher, and social change facilitator and has been a Fellow at the Research Institute For Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam (RIFS) since June 2023. With a holistic understanding of social change processes that connect body, mind, and emotions, she researches, writes and teaches transdisciplinarily at the intersections of academia, art, culture and activism. In her dissertation "Relational Becoming. Social Belonging as a Process" (transcript, 2019), she explores the relational and dynamic nature of belonging through ficto-analytical writing. Trained as an educational scientist, she has spent the last few years researching and writing about how sounds and sounding provides access to our relational and entangled realities and could help create other futures. Her current research on sustainability and rave and club culture is published as a podcast series called "Shifting Basslines". All of her becoming-with-the-world is driven by the co-creation of resilient and environmentally just webs of human and more-than-human life. Her favorite spaces are forests, dance floors, and libraries.

Chapel of the Holy Innocents Building on ancient Kabbalistic traditions that see language, the voice, and the mouth as tools of cosmic creation, Victoria will reveal the Hebrew alphabet as an instrument for playing with the mouth. By thinking with foundational Kabbalistic texts such as the Book of Creation (Sefer Yetzirah) and the writings of Abraham Abulafia, Victoria will demonstrate how the letters have been, and can be, used for daily work with speech and the body. She will also perform works inspired by the biblical Songs of Solomon, as well as late antique Jewish amulets.
Victoria grew up in Jerusalem in an Orthodox Jewish family with roots in Egypt and Iran. She has performed and taught at universities around the world including Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Michigan University, Virginia Tech, Monash University, Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University. Her work combines Jewish mysticism, Dada, surrealism, and feminism.Sponsored by: Hebrew, Jewish Studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Music, Theater & Performance.

Jews on Campus Pick a Side: On the Demand That Jews Be Public
Keith Kahn Harris, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and Senior Lecturer at Leo Baeck College
Tuesday, September 17, 2024 4:30–5:30 pm
Olin Humanities, Room 202 The period since October 7, 2023 has seen the emergence of a "complicity discourse" manifested in injunctions to speak publicly about Israel-Palestine. While this is particularly prevalent in pro-Palestinian activism, pro-Israel groups also associate silence with complicity. This lecture explores the profound implications for Jewish life of competing demands that Jews be public. It is becoming necessary for Jews across the political spectrum to re-consider the value of the private, mundane realms of Jewish existence.
Keith Kahn-Harris is a British sociologist and writer. He is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Jewish Policy Research and a senior lecturer at Leo Baeck College. The author of eight books, his next book Everyday Jews: Why the Jewish People Are Not Who You Think They Are will be published in March 2025.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center; Human Rights Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program; Jewish Studies Program; Politics Program; Sociology Program.

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.

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.

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.

Finding Keys to Other Doors: Research protocols and investigations in colonial archives
Presented Lucas Ondak, Curatorial Studies, Bard College, and Frances Cathryn, editorial projects manager, Forge Project.
Friday, September 20, 2024 2–4:30 pm
Olin 107 This two-hour workshop will cover two perspectives on a research project formed between Forge Project, a Native-led arts organization, and Bard College Rethinking Place initiative. The collaboration between the arts space and academic institution hopes to uncover the history of the land in the surrounding region over time. This workshop will try to answer the question of the role and use of colonial archives in decolonial contexts.
Using as its starting point the moment of full displacement of the Moh-He-Con-Nuck from their homelands (and partnering with the Stockbridge Munsee Community Cultural Affairs department to share these histories), Frances Cathryn and Lucas Ondak are working to produce a land “narrative” that will answer the question of the origin of New Forge Road where Forge Project is situated.
Frances will share details on the formation of the project, and how Forge will work with the SMC to create a model for replicable research in the future. Lucas will explain the process of finding evidence through primarily local, in-person archival research, the ethical challenges of utilizing archives predicated on Indigenous erasure, and the methodologies and protocols for interacting with them. Participants are then invited to bring their own research projects for feedback with the group in a post-presentation discussion. Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program.

“It’s the Religion, Stupid”: Religious Dimensions in Current Crises
White Supremacy in the American Elections
Monday, September 23, 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.
September 23: White Supremacy in the American Elections October 7: The Confrontation of Orthodoxies in Ukraine October 21: “From the River to the Sea” in Likud's Presentation November 4: “From the River to the Sea” in the Hamas CharterSponsored by: Institute of Advanced Theology.

Politics of the Past: German and Russian Memory Cultures and Their Meaning for the Present
Friday, September 27, 2024 7–9 pm
Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (Jägerstraße 22-23, 10117 Berlin, Germany) Postwar Germany's memory culture is rightly lauded as a rare example of a country coming to terms with its tainted past. But with increasing frequency and intensity, critics have begun to wonder whether this model has run its course, or at least needs to be updated or reexamined. Post-Soviet Russia, meanwhile, has been marked by the near-total lack of such a culture. The trauma and crimes of the past have purposefully forgotten or actively misremembered--a memory black hole that makes possible authoritarianism at home and war abroad.
Led by Bard College Berlin's writer-in-residence, expert panelists in the politics of memory in Germany and Russia will explore, discuss, and debate how each society has incorporated—or ignored—the injury and convulsions of the past, and how these respective memory cultures weigh on the present day. By placing the two in contrast and dialogue, this event will explore both the possibilities and limits of memory, with urgent lessons for the contemporary moment.
Speakers: Professor Stefanie Schüler-Springorum is Director of the Berlin-based Center for Research on Antisemitism at the Technical University of Berlin. She previously was the Director of the Institute for the History of German Jews in Hamburg and Chair of the Leo Baeck Institute’s Academic Working Group in Germany. Her work focuses predominantly on German and German-Jewish history in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Sergey Bondarenko is a historian and researcher at the Memorial Society. He is the author of the forthcoming book Lost in Memory: Memorial Society and the Battle for the Russian Past.
Joshua Yaffa is a contributing writer for The New Yorker. He is also the author of Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin's Russia, which won the Orwell Prize in 2021. He has also written for Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, National Geographic, and other publications. He is currently the inaugural writer-in-residence at Bard College Berlin and was previously a fellow at The American Academy in Berlin.

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.
