October 12 | 12:30-1:45 p.m. | Zoom Join us for a conversation with Christopher Kellerman, S.J., about his thought-provoking work. In All Oppression Shall Cease, he provides a rigorously researched, era-by-era history of the Catholic Church’s teachings and actions related to slavery. By telling stories of enslaved Catholics and Catholic slaveholders, analyzing arguments of theologians who either defended or condemned slaveholding, and examining documents of popes and councils, Kellerman’s book reveals disturbing answers to contemporary questions about the Church’s role in the history of slavery and especially in the Atlantic slave trade. Father Kellerman concludes with theological reflections on history, reconciliation, and restitution. The 272: The Families who were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church October 12 | 5:30 pm | Tognino Hall, Duane Library (Rose Hill) Rachel Swarns will discuss her new book, The 272, which follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to illuminate the harrowing origin story of Georgetown University and the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales in Maryland to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion. Torn apart by a Jesuit slave sale in 1838 and reunited by Swarns’ reporting in 2016, the Mahoney descendants have joined other GU272 descendants who have pressed Georgetown and the Catholic Church to make amends, prodding the institutions to break new ground in the movement for reparations and reconciliation in America. Free, but registration is required. 2023 Cooper-Walsh Colloquium; Public Health History and the Future of Gun Regulation after Bruen
October 13 | 9:15-4:45 pm | Fordham University School of Law; Skadden Conference Center (Lincoln Center) & Live broadcast on Zoom The Fordham Urban Law Journal and co-hosts Northwell Health Center for Gun Violence Prevention and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Gun Violence Solutions are thrilled to announce the 2023 Cooper-Walsh Colloquium on Public Health, History, and the Future of Gun Regulation After Bruen. This event will bring together a diverse group of scholars of law, public health and policy, and history to discuss the future of firearms regulation, including Fordham University’s Paul and Diane Guenther Chair in American History, Saul Cornell, a prize-winning author and one of the nation’s leading authorities on early American constitutional thought. Seeking Harmony and Compassion: Pastoral Care and LGBTQ+ Orthodox Faithful October 13 | 1:30-5:30 pm | McNally Amphitheatre (Lincoln Center) Orthodox Christians are called, first and foremost, to love all—for “God is love.” But the reality for many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Orthodox Christians today is that their relationship to the Church is defined not by love, but by apathy, exclusion, and condemnation. We must, as a faith, choose love and compassion—to “love thy neighbor”— instead. This requires no change of faith, but a fuller, more compassionate understanding of what our faith in loving God truly requires of us. We invite you to a conversation about ministering to LGBTQ+ Christians. The afternoon includes a panel review of the recently published books Orthodox Tradition and Human Sexuality and Gender Essentialism and Orthodoxy: Beyond Male and Female, and a discussion of the opportunities, challenges, and resources for ministry among LGBTQ+ faithful. Screening and Panel Discussion: Egypt: A Love Song October 17 | 12 pm | Zoom An exhibition at the Jewish Museum, “Mood of the Moment: Gaby Aghion and the House of Chloé” on view through February 18, 2024, focuses on the life and work of Gaby Aghion, an Egyptian Jewish woman from Alexandria, in Egypt, who left for Paris in 1945 at the age of 19, and, seven years later, founded Chloé, a luxury fashion house. In connection with the exhibition, we are virtually screening Egypt: A Love Song, a documentary about Jewish Arabic singer Souad Zaki, who became famous all over the Arab world. 2023 Fordham Women’s Summit October 18 | 8:30-4:45 pm | Fordham Law School; Skadden Conference Center (Lincoln Center) Join us for Fordham’s annual Women’s Summit! As a part of Fordham University’s Laudato Si’ Action Platform, this year’s Summit will focus on sustainability and how, beyond climate change, we can all take bold, visionary action in our own lives. Fordham women, including our keynote speaker, Jeannette Ferran Astorga, GABELLI ’96, executive vice president, of corporate affairs, communications and sustainability, Zoetis Inc., are helping to lead this charge. Hear from her and other dynamic speakers about how they are innovating and changing our world for the better—now and for future generations. The Fordham Women’s Summit is a unique opportunity for Fordham alumnae, faculty, parents, and friends to discuss and celebrate their achievements as leaders, activists, and philanthropists, as well as attend professional and personal development sessions.

Vuyo Sotashe and Chris Pattishall
October 11 | 7:30 pm Over the past decade, South African vocalist Vuyo Sotashe and American pianist/composer Chris Pattishall have become mainstays of the NYC live club scene, with each contributing separately to a wide range of projects spanning jazz, gospel, theater, and film. Now, for Lincoln Center's Festival of Firsts, Sotashe and Pattishall present their live debut collaborative performance at the Atrium with an evening of soulful original arrangements. Together, they make songs with a hushed vulnerability, as a quiet invocation of community in the midst of turbulent times. In a program that references Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone and traditional South African Xhosa hymns, Sotashe and Pattishall will celebrate the release of their first single, “They Say I Look Like God.” Salty Brine’s And If You Listen Very Hard: The Led Zeppelin Show October 12 | 7:30 pm The ostentatious performance artist, playwright, and vocalist Salty Brine is the next big name in outré downtown alt-cabaret. As part of the Festival of Firsts, Salty makes his Lincoln Center debut with a show from his ongoing Living Record Collection, a thus far 20 chapter (and growing) series of expeditions into the heart of popular music. Each LRC event merges the live recreation of an entire classic album with stories of personal experience alongside interpolations of literature and theater, blending autobiographical monologue, a musical celebration of great LPs, and a fresh look at the artistic process. The key ingredients in this evening's Salty stew are Robert Louis Stevenson’s immortal pirate adventure Treasure Island and the heavy metal folk rock masterpiece, Led Zeppelin IV. Lady Wray October 13 | 7:30 pm A mainstay of the U.S. Billboard charts since the early 2000s, Nicole "Lady" Wray's clarion voice, potent storytelling, and deeply emotive performances evoke both the church-ready chanteuses of 70s soul and the Hip-Hop inflected R&B of the 90s. As part of the Festival of Firsts, Lady Wray makes her long overdue Lincoln Center debut with a bravura showcase of songs from Piece of Me interspersed with favorite covers and classic hits, all supported by a full live band packed with special guests.

October 11 | 5 pm | 416 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036 The term Rock and Roll, came into vogue in the 1950s, describing a music that fans, musicians, and historians traditionally attributed to the Blues and R&B, without also duly recognizing the roots in the music from south of the border. From its hypnotic bass lines, clave-based drum-set patterns, funky guitar and piano, riffs, melodies, and, yes, its dance styles as well, the DNA of rock and roll has much to do with all things Latin. Join multi, Grammy-nominated, drummer, percussionist, bandleader, and educator Bobby Sanabria as he demonstrates the Latin rhythmic roots of Rock & Roll from Africa to Santana and beyond.

Red Sauce: How Italian Food Became American
October 18 | 6:30-7:30 p.m. | 7th floor, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, 455 5th Ave., NY Author Ian MacAllen sits down with Jennifer Prezioso of Nolita's Albanese Meats & Poultry to discuss Red Sauce, the story of Italian food arriving in the United States and how your favorite "red sauce" recipes evolved into American staples. In Red Sauce, MacAllen traces the evolution of traditional Italian-American cuisine, often referred to as red sauce Italian, from its origins in Italy to its transformation in America into a new, distinct cuisine. It is a fascinating social and culinary history exploring the integration of red sauce food into mainstream America alongside the blending of Italian immigrant otherness into a national American identity. The story follows the small parlor restaurants immigrants launched from their homes to large, popular destinations, and eventually to commodified fast food and casual dining restaurants. Some dishes like fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti alla Caruso owe their success to celebrities, and Italian-American cuisine generally has benefited from a rich history in popular culture. Register in advance. The Five Demands: Film Screening and Discussion October 18 | 6:30 p.m. |Proshansky Auditorium The Five Demands, a new documentary, tells the little-known story of the revolutionary student takeover of The City College of New York in April 1969 by a group of Black and Puerto Rican students. Through archival footage and modern-day interviews, the film revisits the two-week shutdown that changed the face of higher education, as students protested institutional racism that, for over a century, had shut out people of color from this and other universities. After a screening, executive producer Stanley Nelson moderates a discussion with directors Andrea Weiss and Greta Schiller, along with two of the student protesters featured in the film, Charles Powell and Rosalind Kilkenny McLymont. Nelson, a MacArthur Genius Fellow, is the award- winning director of documentaries, including Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool and The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution. Schiller and Weiss, an Emmy Award winning filmmaking team, have collaborated on many internationally acclaimed films, including Before Stonewall, International Sweethearts of Rhythm, and Paris Was a Woman. Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration Through December 4 | Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture; 515 Malcolm X Blvd, New York, NY 10037 The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is the current destination for the acclaimed exhibition, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration curated by Dr. Nicole R. Fleetwood. Marking Time explores the impact of the US prison system on contemporary visual art. This exhibition, presented across three galleries —Latimer, Exhibition Hall, and Media Gallery— highlights artists who are or have been incarcerated, alongside artists who have not been incarcerated but whose practices expose aspects of the carceral state. Seen together, their works reveal how punitive governance, predatory policing, surveillance, and mass imprisonment impact millions of people. Admission is free. Dreaming of Home Through January 7 | Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art; 26 Wooster Street New York, NY 10013 Dreaming of Home brings together twenty contemporary artists whose work invokes the comforts and complications of queer and trans domestic life across international and intergenerational perspectives. The exhibition springboards from Catherine Opie’s seminal image Self-Portrait/Cutting (1993), which viscerally highlights the dissonances experienced by queer people, whose desire to live and thrive routinely faces brutal restrictions, and for whom society’s idealization of nuclear family is painfully, somatically borne. Following in Opie’s footsteps, each artist centralizes the queer body in their work, carving space for themselves and their kin to live and thrive. There is a suggested donation of $10. Play the Part: Marlene Dietrich Through January 8 | International Center of Photography; 79 Essex Street, New York, NY 10002 Featuring 250 photographs taken from 1905 to 1978, Play the Part: Marlene Dietrich examines the multifaceted evolution of Dietrich’s (1901–1992) public persona. The exhibition features photographs by well-known artists such as Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, and Edward Steichen as well as photographers with whom Dietrich collaborated repeatedly throughout her life, including the noted Hollywood photographer George Hurrell, Eugene Robert Richee, and William Walling Jr. Rarely seen and previously unpublished images, snapshots, some of the last photos of Marlene Dietrich, and other works complement the formal portraits and studio images that have come to represent Dietrich, illustrating the true complexity of her life. Drawn from the collection of Pierre Passebon, this exhibition marks the first time his noted collection will be shown in the United States. Student discounted tickets are available for purchase online. ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN Through January 13 | MoMA; 11 West 53 Street, Manhattan New York, New York, 10019 “I don’t have any Seine River like Monet,” Ed Ruscha once said. “I’ve just got US 66 between Oklahoma and Los Angeles.” ED RUSCHA / NOW THEN will feature over 200 works—in mediums including painting, drawing, prints, photography, artist’s books, film, and installation—that make use of everything from gunpowder to chocolate. Exploring Ruscha’s landmark contributions to postwar American art as well as lesser-known aspects of his more than six-decade career, the exhibition will offer new perspectives on a body of work that has influenced generations of artists, architects, designers, and writers. Student discounted tickets are available for purchase online. |
