Judgment, Pluralism, and DemocracyOn the Desirability of Speaking with OthersThursday, March 2, 2023 – Friday, March 3, 2023Multiple Locations (See below)Free and Open to the Public! Register Here **See full program below** Keynote by Linda Zerilli (The University of Chicago): “Arendt and the Problem of Democratic Persuasion” Stream the Keynote Lecture on YouTube Organized by Nicholas Dunn (Bard College) and Nirvana Tanoukhi (Dartmouth College) One of the latest features of the crisis of democratic culture is the problematization of free speech. The dysfunction of public discourse in democratic societies has sparked skepticism about the validity of the principle itself and concerns about its evident impracticability. This line of interrogation has targeted the grounds and scope of this putatively desirable freedom. For example, does Louis Brandeis’s idea that with “more speech…the truth will out” have any actual empirical validity? Or does the weaponizability of free speech in the age of the internet not call for modifying or restricting its legal protection? This conference aims to expand the parameters of the current conversation by taking a step back from the desirability of unrestricted ‘freedom’ of expression and shifting critical attention to the desirability of ‘talking to others.’ For any case to be made in support or against free speech is, more fundamentally, a statement about whether the good of talking to others demands the protections that make it possible, be that demand conceived in moral, instrumental, or prudential terms.

Conjunctions:79, Onword Launch Reading
Featuring Jai Chakrabarti, Peter Gizzi, Carole Maso, and Shane McCrae, introduced by Colin Channer
Wednesday, March 1, 2023
7 pm
McNally Jackson SeaportJoin us to celebrate the launch of Conjunctions:79, Onword! The evening will feature readings by contributors Jai Chakrabarti, Peter Gizzi, Carole Maso, and Shane McCrae, introduced by Colin Channer.
The literary journal Conjunctions, edited by novelist Bradford Morrow and published by Bard College, has been a living notebook for provocative, risk-taking, rigorously composed fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction since 1981. As PEN America has it: “Conjunctions is one of our most distinctive and valuable literary magazines: innovative, daring, indispensable, and beautiful.”
Our Fall 2022 issue is a celebration of continuing both onward and Onword—on with Conjunctions, on with the words.
While this issue has no theme, what we’ve collected here could simply be described as “great writing by great writers.” And themes do, of course, emerge: Inside, you’ll find explorations of survival, migration, loss and renewal, as well as meditations on how to live with disappointment, how to reimagine and rebuild, and how to move onward through difficult existential terrains.
Conjunctions 79, Onword features new work from Fred Moten, Can Xue, John Crowley, Nathaniel Mackey, Sofia Samatar, Yxta Maya Murray, Russell Banks, Deb Olin Unferth, Rae Armantrout, G. C. Waldrep, Bonnie Nadzam, Vi Khi Nao, Carole Maso, Julia Alvarez, Fred D’Aguiar, and more, as well as three previously unpublished poems by C. D. Wright.
RSVP required at https://www.mcnallyjackson.com/conjunctions79-onword-launch-reading-Rsvp.

Looking Back, Looking Forward: Documenting Trans Family Life
Featuring Krys Belc
Monday, March 6, 2023
5 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115An Autonomies Series Event
This lecture will focus on the nature of the family archive and its relation to queer and trans liberation and creativity. Parenting is, in the contemporary era, inherently documentary. Parents and other family members tell stories, take pictures, and, increasingly, tell their family story publicly. How can queer and trans artists reckon with archives their families have left behind, and what might ethical documentation of family life look like with queerness at the forefront of the documenter’s mind?
Krys Malcolm Belc is the author of the flash nonfiction chapbook In Transit and the memoir The Natural Mother of the Child, which was a New York Times New and Noteworthy title and an NPR Best Book of the Year. His essays have been published in Granta, Guernica, The Rumpus, Brevity, and elsewhere. Krys received his BA from Swarthmore College, his M.Ed in Special Education from Arcadia University, and his MFA in Creative Writing from Northern Michigan University. Krys is the memoir editor of Split Lip Magazine. He lives in Philadelphia with his partner and their four young children.

Stacey Vanek Smith: Women in the Workplace in the 21st Century
Wednesday, March 8, 2023
6–7:30 pm
Olin Language Center, Room 115The Bard community is invited to join a discussion with Stacey Vanek Smith on women in the workplace in the 21st century, why in the age of #MeToo the glass ceiling is still holding women back, and how women can yield power.
Stacey Vanek Smith, host of Planet Money's Indicator podcast, is a long-time business and economic reporter for NPR. During her 15 years on the job, she noticed she was talking to more men than women. Why? More men occupied positions of authority and expertise. In Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition, and Win the Workplace, Smith takes a look at the barriers blocking women’s advancement and offers advice to remove them – from 16th century Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli.
Smith will be in discussion with Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program Director Elmira Bayrasli.
Sponsored by the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program, the Center for Civic Engagement, Open Society University Network's Civic Engagement Initiative and Gender Equity Working Group

The Law of Existence
artist/curator Maha Maamoun in conversation with writer Haytham el-Wardany
Wednesday, March 8, 2023
6–8 pm
Olin, Room 102How to find entry points in a brutal conversation? How to summon a community of voices to diffuse a deadlock? Maha Maamoun’s artistic practices often intertwine visual and literary images, both popular and obscure, in a process of reflection on the cultural and social fabric of present day Cairo. Her subtle intervention in image and text pick on redundancies, exhausted languages, recycled imagery - features that both reveal and calcify deep-rooted structures of meaning. In their conversation, artist Maha Maamoun and writer Haytham el-Wardany will elaborate on aspects of Maamoun’s artistic practice, bringing up common themes of conversationality, seriality, quotation and reading.
Maamoun and el-Wardany are long-time collaborators. They have co-worked on different projects such as The Middle Ear (co-editors), How to Disappear (writer-publisher), and Dear Animal (writer-filmmaker).

Disorientation as Worship: A Different (Re)view of the Dura-Europos Synagogue
Karen Stern, Professor of History, Brooklyn College
Thursday, March 9, 2023
5:30 pm
Chapel of the Holy InnocentsThe synagogue discovered in Dura Europos in 1932/1933 shocked archaeologists, scholars of ancient Syria, and students of ancient Jewish history. The interior fac;ade of the assembly hall of the building was preserved to an unprecedented degree, projecting color- ful paintings of stories from the Hebrew Bible, including images of Pharoah's daughter rescuing a baby Moses from a basket in the Nile. Existence of these murals both advanced the efforts of excavators and historians who sought to understand ancient life in Dura and transformed studies of art history more generally, by challenging a longstanding allegation that Jews, historically, were a "people without art." Scholars of past decades have followed suit, continuing to emphasize the paintings from the assembly hall at the expense of other documented findings from the synagogue. This talk, however, takes a different approach. By drawing renewed attention to additional artifacts from the building, including burial deposits, amuletic ceiling tiles, and ancient graffiti, it suggests that there is more to the synagogue than that which initially meets the eye.Sponsored by: Art History and Visual Culture Program; Classical Studies Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program; Middle Eastern Studies Program.

Finding an Authentic Voice for an Ancient Poet: Translating Eugenius of Toledo
Graham Barrett, University of Lincoln, UK
David Ungvary, Bard College
Friday, March 10, 2023
2–3:30 pm
Olin, Room 102“Be present to us, You Holy One, loosen the muscles of our throats,
fill our mouths with articulate phrases, fill our hearts with tears…”
“Blubbery fat on his neck chokes off his pudgy gullet
and his horribly raspy voice loses its dulcet tones.”
These starkly different couplets were composed during the so-called “Dark Ages” by the same Latin poet: Eugenius of Toledo (d. 657 CE). Maybe. In this workshop, Professors Graham Barrett (University of Lincoln, UK) and David Ungvary (Bard) will expose participants to the challenges of locating an authentic “voice” in Eugenius’s verse, which has never before been rendered into English, but which, in the Middle Ages, was popular enough to inspire a host of imitators and pseudo-Eugenian posers. Together, those in the workshop will explore—partly through experiments in re-writing Eugenius—how various modes of translation may help (or hinder) attempts to find and animate the “true Eugenius,” a poet whose tone can range wildly from pious and reverent to just plain mean. All students and faculty interested in translation are encouraged to attend; no knowledge of Latin is necessary.

Academic Freedom in the Balance: Central European University and New College Florida
Friday, March 10, 2023
3–4 pm
3 PM New York l 9 PM Vienna via LivestreamThe OSUN Liberal Arts Collaborative, Bard College, Central European University's Democracy Institute (CEU), and Defending Educational Freedom for Youth (DEFY) are sponsoring a livestreamed conversation between Michael Ignatieff, former Rector and President of CEU, and student leaders from New College of Florida representing the activist group DEFY.
The discussion is an important opportunity for Ignatieff to discuss with New College student leaders the lessons learned from Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban’s assault on academic freedom in Hungary, including the expulsion of CEU. New College of Florida, a public liberal arts college, has recently been targeted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis: half of its Board of Trustees has been replaced, its president dismissed, and new board members are threatening major changes to teaching and curricula, especially on issues pertaining to race and gender. In this context, New College can be seen as a microcosm of wider challenges to academic freedom taking place in Florida and across the US.
The talk will be moderated by Kyaw Moe Tun, head of the Open Society University Network’s Liberal Arts Collaborative based at Bard College and President of Parami University in Myanmar (now in exile).
Participants:
Michael Ignatieff, former President and Rector of CEU, 2016-2021, current Rector Emeritus and University Professor of History, CEU
Student leaders from DEFY

The Institute of Advanced Theology Spring 2023 Lecture Series
"In Search of the Once and Future Eden" with Bruce Chilton
Thursday, March 16, 2023
5:30–6:30 pm
Bard HallThis lecture series is in conjunction with the book launch of Eden Revisited: A Novel by László Z. Bitó ’60. You can find the recordings of past lectures on the IAT website. These lectures and their recordings are made possible by the generosity of a loyal donor.
Eden is both a place in the mythic past and the prospect for a balanced, ecological, and human civilization in the future. Gnostic writers in particular have portrayed how the idyllic garden could have been lost, and why regaining its richness has proven elusive. Laszlo Bito, a Bard alumnus from the class of 1960 investigated these issues in his book Eden Revisited. The series is designed to join in that quest, in order to press the issue of Eden’s deep promise.
All lectures will take place on Thursdays at 5:30 pm in Bard Hall.

The Lonely Trees by the Rojava Film Commune
Film screening, with introduction by Lara Fresko Madra and Thomas Keenan
Monday, March 27, 2023
5–6:30 pm
Campus Center, Weis CinemaThe Lonely Trees (2017, 43 min) is a documentary about the “dengbej,” who carry the heritage of music, poetry, and storytelling in the semi- autonomous region of Rojava.
This event is part of Archival Collective Counter–Imagination, a two-part series curated by art historian and current CHRA Fellow Lara Fresko Madra.
The series brings together two collective endeavors —the Rojava Film Commune and the Material Aesthetic Research Collective — to think through not only who archives belong to, but how they generate a sense of belonging. In engaging the moving image as a site of negotiation and building collectivity, these endeavors are concerned with how such media can create and re-create past and future community. Brushing the archive against the grain, is it possible to listen to its absences? This program explores the two group’s modes of social organization around the moving image that cross and, at times, defy the horizon of the nation-state.
Komîna Fîlm a Rojava (The Rojava Film Commune) is a commune of filmmakers based in the eponymous autonomous region in northern Syria. Their work across the region builds and develops infrastructures for filmmaking, screening, and education, fostering new audiences and an awareness of filmmaking as a medium for empowerment and a tool for liberation. The commune’s creative output spans documentary and commercial films as well as public service announcements.
Lara Fresko Madra is an art historian, writer, and curator with a PhD in Art History from Cornell University. Her research focuses on contemporary artistic practices from Turkey and the Middle East that challenge official history and offer alternative ways of relating to the past. She is currently a teaching and research fellow at the Center for Human Rights and the Arts at Bard College. Sponsored by: OSUN Center for Human Rights and the Arts.

He graduated from the Moscow Conservatory where he studied under Ilia Klyachko, Boris Zemliansky, Yakob Milstein, Lev Oborin (piano) and Leonid Roizman (organ).

Since then Mikhail Voskresensky has performed with more than 150 conductors in almost all countries of Europe, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, USA, Mexico, Cuba, Kenia, Zimbabwe and Peru.
He was a distinguished professor at the Moscow Conservatory, and the chair of the professorship of piano faculty, until he left Russia in 2022 in protest against the invasion of Ukraine.
