SUMMARY:Pınar Öğrenci: Glück auf in Deutschland (Harvard Art Museum)
DESCRIPTION:Reflect on memory\, labor\, and belonging in this first major U.S. exhibition by Pınar Öğrenci. \nGlück auf in Deutschland marks the first major exhibition in the United States by Berlin-based artist and filmmaker Pınar Öğrenci (b. 1973). The artist’s work invites viewers to question what has been remembered or erased while imagining a future grounded in justice\, equality\, and collective healing and shaped by layered experiences of survival\, resistance\, and resilience. \nThe exhibition includes Öğrenci’s 2024 film Glück auf in Deutschland (Good Luck in Germany)\, which addresses the construction of postwar German identity in the Ruhrgebiet\, a heavily industrialized region known for coal mining and steel production. Five related collages are also on view\, reimagining the bodies of workers and their families within the Ruhr landscape and its architecture. Öğrenci’s use of the phrase Glück auf — a common way that miners wish one another a safe return after their physically grueling and dangerous work underground — resonates with the experiences of immigrant communities in present-day Germany facing right-wing extremism. \nThe photographs in the film and collages were drawn largely from the Ruhr Museum archive in Essen\, Germany\, and include works by artists from the 1950s and ’60s. In her interventions\, Öğrenci reveals how photography helped shape a homogenous\, male-centered identity for both the region and the German nation; she seeks instead to present a more inclusive visual record. Öğrenci’s work is displayed alongside historical photographs from the Busch-Reisinger Museum’s collection. \nCurated by Lynette Roth\, Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum. \nThis exhibition is supported by the Charles Kuhn Endowment Fund in the Busch-Reisinger Museum. Modern and contemporary art programs at the Harvard Art Museums are made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer\, Jr.\, Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art.

SUMMARY:Rhinoceros
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Emmy Award Winners Paul Giamatti\, Tatiana Maslany\, and John Turturro \nEverything seems normal one Sunday morning…until it’s not. One by one\, friends and colleagues transform into rhinoceroses\, and Berenger is forced to decide: will he follow the crowd or stand his ground? As resonant as when it premiered in the wake of the Second World War\, Rhinoceros reminds us of the importance of holding on to our humanity amidst mounting pressures to conform. Eugène Ionesco’s landmark play is staged in a new adaptation by A.R.T. based on Derek Prouse’s seminal translation. \nTony Award winner Diane Paulus (“one of the most imaginative forces working in theater\,” Broadway.com) directs her final production at the Loeb Drama Center before the A.R.T.’s move to its new home in Allston\, the Goel Center for Creativity & Performance. \nPerformers are subject to change and understudies may perform at any time\, with a specific announcement made at the time of the performance. No refunds are issued in the event of a change in casting. \n\nOpening Night: 8/21\nASL Interpreted: 9/16 at 7:30PM\nAudio Described: 9/19 at 2PM\nOpen Captioned: 9/19 at 2PM

SUMMARY:The Way We Never Were: The American Professional Photographers Collection (Harvard Art Museum)
DESCRIPTION:How did photography construct cultural memories of postwar America? \nLife in the United States after World War II is often remembered as a time of prosperity\, stability\, and ease. The Way We Never Were examines the role that professional photography played in shaping this familiar image. Photographers working on commission for private clients\, businesses\, and civic organizations produced portraits and promotional images that did more than document everyday life—they staged and refined it\, helping define how Americans saw themselves and their nation. \nDrawn from the Harvard Art Museums’ American Professional Photographers Collection\, this exhibition brings renewed attention to a vast archive assembled in the 1970s by sociologist and curator Barbara P. Norfleet. The archive\, comprising more than 20\,000 photographs from studios active between the late 1930s and the early 1960s across the United States\, depicts weddings\, school events\, corporate gatherings\, and other social rituals—what Norfleet described as a “unique and valuable record of American life.” \nThe exhibition traces how these commissioned photographs helped create a shared visual understanding of mid-century American culture\, pointing not only to what was included\, but also to what was left out of the photographic record. Organized around themes such as the postwar economic boom\, the rise of suburbia\, cultural conformity\, and growing struggles for equal rights\, the photographs in the exhibition reflect broader social tensions around race\, gender\, class\, and belonging. By considering the tools\, techniques\, and commercial priorities that made these idealized images possible\, The Way We Never Were examines how postwar professional photography shaped an enduring vision of the past that continues to inform how it is understood today. \nCurated by Audrey Sands\, Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography\, and Madison Brown\, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow in Photography\, with Bridget Hinz\, Senior Curatorial Assistant for Special Exhibitions and Publications\, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art\, Harvard Art Museums. \nFunding for the exhibition and related programming was provided by the John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Fund for Photography and the M. Victor Leventritt Lecture Series Endowment Fund. Modern and contemporary art programs at the Harvard Art Museums are made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer\, Jr.\, Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art.

SUMMARY:Club Passim's Campfire Festival
DESCRIPTION:Over 100 artists from across New England and beyond will once again come together for four full days of music at Club Passim over Labor Day Weekend. For 28 years\, this cherished semi-annual festival has brought together rising talent\, seasoned musicians\, and veteran performers for a marathon weekend of live music.\nAs is Campfire tradition\, the festival’s musical acts will perform in an array of styles and configurations ranging from intimate\, “in-the-round” sessions where songwriters share songs\, swap stories\, and spark new collaborations— to solo sets\, small ensembles\, and full band lineups. Simultaneously\, in true Club Passim fashion\, these artists also run the gamut of genres across the musical spectrum with folk\, rock\, indie\, bluegrass\, Americana\, Celtic\, R&B\, and more all well represented. Single-day and weekend passes are on sale now at passim.org.\n“Campfire continues to amaze me every single time. It is an all-you-can-listen buffet of incredible talent. Come in with ears wide open – you’re bound to find your next favorite artist\,” said Matt Smith\, Managing Director at Club Passim.\nIn 1998\, Passim established Campfire to fill a bad booking weekend\, but today\, it has become one of the primary methods for local audiences to discover new talent. Originally known as “On the Cutting Edge of the Campfire\,” this festival merged the concept of artists playing music around the campfire with Passim’s commitment to introducing up-and-coming talent to interested and discerning listeners.\nNow\, audiences can experience scores of new artists in an intimate seated space. Swapping between songwriter rounds and band sets\, attendees will get a glimpse of a music scene that is much bigger than a single room. A Campfire weekend is without question the best way to see new artists in Greater Boston and the ultimate Club Passim experience\nThe complete 2026 Campfire Labor Day Weekend lineup is available at Passim.org.\nPrevious Campfire artists include Anais Mitchell\, Lake Street Dive\, Tall Heights\, Alisa Amador\, Lori McKenna\, Josh Ritter\, Jenny Owen Youngs\, Jake Blount\, Mary Gauthier\, Regina Spektor\, and so many more.\nAll of this year’s performances will take place at Club Passim. Performances will begin at 6:00 P.M. on Friday (September 4th)\, and 2:00 P.M on Saturday (September 5th)\, Sunday (September 6th)\, and Monday (September 7th).\nCampfire Festival returns to Club Passim September 4th through September 7th. Tickets are $20 for a single day and $35 for the whole weekend and are available at www.passim.org. Student tickets are free with a valid student ID. Club Passim is located at 47 Palmer St.\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138.\n\nAbout Passim\nThe mission of Passim is to provide truly exceptional and interactive live musical experiences for both performers and audiences\, to nurture artists at all stages of their careers\, and to build a vibrant\, inclusive music community. Passim does so through its legendary listening venue\, music school\, artist grants\, and community programs. As a nonprofit since 1994\, Passim carries on the heritage of its predecessors- the historic Club 47 (1958-1968) and the for-profit Passim (1969-1994). We cultivate a diverse mix of musical traditions\, emphasizing the relationships among performers and audiences\, and among teachers and students. Located in Harvard Square\, Passim serves Cambridge and the broader region by featuring local\, national\, and international artists. Our ultimate goal is to help the performance arts flourish and thereby enrich the lives of members of our community. For a complete schedule\, visit www.passim.org.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Santlofer at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Jonathan Santlofer—acclaimed artist and author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh—for a discussion of his new novel\, Ten Perfect Guests. He will be joined in conversation by Joseph Finder—the New York Times bestselling author of 17 suspense novels. \nAbout Ten Perfect Guests\nFrom acclaimed artist and author of The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh Jonathan Santlofer\, Ten Perfect Guests is a sinister thriller marrying the best of Agatha Christie with the atmospheric and lush settings of The White Lotus and Knives Out. \nA lush tropical island\, ten guests\, and an offer they can’t refuse: attend a weekend memorial for celebrated artist Victor D’Arcangelo or… forfeit your inheritance. \nThe guests: D’Arcangelo’s bitter current wife\, his even more bitter former wife\, his estranged brother\, his gallerist loaded with gambling debts\, a shady European art dealer\, an art collector and scandal-waiting-to-happen pharma heiress\, a failed British musician\, a disgruntled art critic\, a degenerate son and an illegitimate daughter. Each desperate for the inheritance dangled before their hungry eyes. \nWhen they arrive\, D’Arcangelo’s assistant is there to ask them the question on which their fortunes hinge: “How did you help or harm Victor D’Arcangelo?” \nWell-known as a world-class\, world-famous artist\, a genius but a cad\, no one knows exactly what his motive was. Is he manipulating them from the grave? Or is there someone even more sinister pulling the strings? \nAnd the biggest question of all: Who\, if anyone\, will survive the weekend? \nPraise for Ten Perfect Guests\n“A beautiful blend of golden-age charm and modern-day edge – delightful from first word to last.” —Lee Child \n“Smart and amazing. A hallmark of Santlofer’s writing is that the reader learns so much. Not to mention the drawings! All of which makes the novel something special.” —Joyce Carol Oates \n“Devilishly dry\, dark and deadly – this gripping mystery will keep you avidly turning the pages.” —Sophie Hannah \nBios\nJonathan Santlofer is a writer and artist. His debut novel\, The Death Artist was an international bestseller translated into 17 languages\, and his most recent novel is The Lost Van Gogh. Jonathan created the Crime Fiction Academy as The Center for Fiction. As an artist\, Jonathan has been making replications of famous paintings for wealthy clients for more than 20 years. Photo Credit: Douglas Lyle Thompson \nJoseph Finder is the New York Times bestselling author of 17 suspense novels\, most recently the forthcoming The Oligarch’s Daughter. His most recently published novel House On Fire is the fourth featuring “private spy” Nick Heller. His books have won numerous awards\, including the Strand Critics Award for Best Novel for Buried Secrets (2011)\, the International Thriller Writers Award for Best Novel for Killer Instinct (2006) and the Barry Award for Best Thriller for Company Man (2005). The Boston Globe has called him a “master of the modern thriller.” Two of his novels have been made into major motion pictures\, including High Crimes\, adapted into the hit 2002 movie starring Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman; and Paranoia\, the 2013 film starring Harrison Ford\, Gary Oldman\, and Liam Hemsworth. A founding member of the International Thriller Writers\, as well as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Association of Former Intelligence Officers.

SUMMARY:Above the Fray? Rethinking The Supreme Court Independence - First Parish Church
DESCRIPTION:Was the Supreme Court ever what we thought it was? \n\n\n\n\nPublic trust in the Supreme Court is near a three-decade low\, according to Pew Research Center: only 45% of Americans currently view the Court favorably\, down 20 points from 2021\, with Republicans and Democrats now divided by 44 percentage points in how they see it. Most Americans\, across party lines\, still say justices shouldn’t let politics shape their rulings\, and most also believe\, increasingly\, that they do. \nBut is that a new failure\, or a return to an older reality we’ve simply forgotten? Was there ever a Court that stood apart from politics\, or did we just get better\, for a while\, at believing in one? \nRachel A. Shelden\, author of The Political Supreme Court: A Forgotten History\, has spent her career studying how the Court actually operated in its first century\, long before the modern ideal of judicial neutrality took hold. Peter S. Canellos\, author of Revenge for the Sixties: Sam Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement\, has spent his time tracing how one justice’s life story became constitutional doctrine. \nTogether\, they’ll tackle the questions at the center of this moment: Has the Supreme Court always been political? If so\, why does it feel different today? And if Americans are losing faith in the Court\, what does that mean for the future of checks and balances in a democracy? Kent Greenfield\, Professor of Law and the Dr. Thomas F. Carney Distinguished Scholar at Boston College Law School is moderating the conversation. \nFree and open to all. \nHarvard Book Store will have copies of Peter Canellos’s book available for purchase at the event. Following the discussion\, the author will be available to sign books.

DESCRIPTION:RSVP is required for this event. \nHarvard Book Store and the Cambridge Public Library welcome Francis Fukuyama—Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and the author of The End of History and the Last Man—for a discussion of his new memoir\, In the Realm of the Last Man. \nTicketing\nRSVP for free to this event or choose the “Book-Included” ticket to reserve a copy of In the Realm of the Last Man and pick it up at the event.

Here\, for the first time\, he charts his political and intellectual evolution across five transformative decades. We follow him from the circle of students around the conservative intellectual Allan Bloom at Cornell\, into the halls of power in Washington and at the RAND Corporation\, and into private conversations with world leaders from Muammar Qaddhafi to China’s powerful elite. Fukuyama touches on his family’s story\, including his relatives’ internment during World War II along with other Japanese Americans. And\, in surprisingly personal terms\, he reflects on the experiences that led him to reevaluate his own thinking\, most notably his dramatic public break with the neoconservative movement over the invasion of Iraq. \nMore than a conventional memoir\, In the Realm of the Last Man is personal history as political history—the story of a life that illuminates the troubled fate of democracy and liberalism over the last fifty years. Returning to and developing the concepts that have been central to his work—recognition\, thymos\, trust\, identity\, human nature\, institutions\, and the Last Man—Fukuyama brings the depth and richness of personal experience and pathbreaking scholarship to illuminate the crises of the twenty-first century. \nUrgent\, brilliant\, and essential\, Fukuyama’s In the Realm of the Last Man reveals a major thinker grappling in real time with the convulsions of history\, and looking ahead to our possible future.

SUMMARY:Live Blues & Roots Music Returns to Harvard Square: Wednesday Nights @ The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar
DESCRIPTION:The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar and The Barrett Anderson Band are excited to announce a new weekly series\, Blues & Roots Wednesdays\, bringing live music back home to historic Harvard Square. \n“Cambridge\, our fair city\, and I share deep roots\, and I’m thrilled to find a new musical home at The Sea Hag\,” says Massachusetts-based singer/guitarist\, Barrett Anderson.  “Good music and good food are two of our most basic\, fundamental needs\,” he continues\, “What great joy they give us.  I am so happy to revel in that every Wednesday night with my dearest musical friends\, and Kari and her incredible team at The Sea Hag.  We go way back together\, and I can’t imagine all the fun we have ahead.” \nIndeed\, Anderson has strong connections to this scene.  He remembers: “My first professional experience came when I was 15\, backing up Muddy Waters’ band alums Pinetop Perkins and Bob Margolin at the original House of Blues on Winthrop Street.  A few months after that I began busking\, you’d often find me in Brattle Square or by the pit.  This would have been mid/late 90s.”  While still a teen\, Anderson was a member of The Monster Mike Welch Band and Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters (“Ronnie was my guitar hero.  Then he was my teacher\, then my boss.  Now he’s my musical Father\,” Anderson says)\, before eventually starting The Barrett Anderson Band in 2007. \nAnderson won a Boston Music Award (2013 Blues Artist of the Year)\, was on the Billboard charts (2020’s live album Hynoboogie spent 3 weeks on the Billboard Blues Album chart\, peaking at #6)\, and was nominated for a Blues Music Award (2023 Band of the Year with Anthony Geraci & The Boston Blues All-Stars)\, all the while playing nationally\, internationally\, and locally in Cambridge and the greater Boston area. \nIn addition to the musical roots\, long-time locals may recognize Anderson from a decade serving tables and bartending at The Sea Hag’s sister establishment\, Grendel’s Den\, or from Abodeon\, the mid-century modern shop started by his family. \nMusic starts every Wednesday at 6:30 at The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar\, 49 Mt Auburn St\, and there’s no cover.  “We start while people are dining\,” Anderson states.  “It forces us to play dynamically\, dig deep\, and explore the space\, creating music that doesn’t demand attention but rewards it.”  He adds with a grin “We do get to turn up and demand attention too\, we just have to time it right.” \nJoining Anderson (vocals and guitar) are Paul Loranger (upright and electric bass)\, and Joey Pafumi (drums and percussion).  “This is the core of The Barrett Anderson Band\,” Anderson explains.  “The full band has wonderful additional musicians\, but for this gig tight and light was right.  This gives us the flexibility to learn material fast and improvise easily on the spot\, allowing for regular guests and specially themed evenings.  We’re making sure that each week is rewarding and unique.” \nThe Barrett Anderson Band are digging deep into their Cambridge roots for the first string of shows\, featuring local roots rock king Dennis Brennan as a special guest. \nBlues & Roots Wednesdays at The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar\n49 Mt Auburn St\, Cambridge MA 02139\nMusic starts @ 6:30\nWednesday nights \n  \nWhat critics say about Barrett Anderson \nFrom Jay Clestowski\, Disciples of Sound: “Barrett Anderson continues to carry the torch that J. Geils left behind…  HypnoBoogie demonstrates that some of the best grooves come out of the ‘dirty water’ and that’s where they belong.” \nFrom JD Nash\, American Blues Scene: “This Bean Town foursome packs enough raw energy on stage to power the whole of New England.” \nFrom Chris Spector\, Midwest Record: “Anderson has the chops and spark to make a real statement his own way.  Hot stuff.” \nFrom Jay Miller\, The Patriot Ledger: “HypnoBoogie… is the kind of refreshingly vibrant\, genre-crossing album that is a throwback to the days when rock ‘n’ roll acknowledged its roots in blues\, but ventured wherever the spirit took it.” \nWhat critics say about The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar \nFrom Sheryl Julian\, Boston Globe: “Harvard Square’s Sea Hag is the little sister to Grendel’s Den…” \nFrom Kara Baskin\, Boston Globe: “The team behind Grendel’s Den in Harvard Square has opened Sea Hag\, replacing The Bouthouse.  Wash ashore for fish and chips\, Jamaican beef patties\, arancini\, crab dip\, raw bar delights\, and muffins…” \nFrom Boston Restaurant Talk: “The Sea Hag opens in the former Boathouse space in Harvard Square.” \nFrom Marc Levy and Rónán Fitzgerald: “Grendel’s Den owner Kari Kuelzer is expanding in Harvard Square\, taking over the Boathouse location to open The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar.” \nwww.barrettandersonband.com\nwww.seahag02138.com
