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:Caiola
DESCRIPTION:Jordan Caiola (CAI•OLA) is a songwriter/musician/producer based out of Philadelphia. He founded the indie rock band Mo Lowda & The Humble in 2010 and\, due to its intense touring schedule\, the band became his main priority along with his side project NightSeason (founded in 2016) – an indie/electro-pop producer duo. Though he always felt writing folk songs was his true “wheelhouse”\, it wasn’t until the nationwide lockdown in early 2020 that he finally put aside the time to record a collection of those songs for his first solo album ‘Only Real When Shared’. His second record\, a more mature and textural follow up entitled\, ‘This Could Be Everything’\, was released August 2nd\, 2024 and is streaming everywhere.

SUMMARY:Rachael Kilgour & Jean Rohe
DESCRIPTION:Rachael Kilgour writes in hopes of finding a truth she can live with. Her heartfelt release\, “My Father Loved Me”\, was written in memory of her late Canadian dad and and led her on an extensive tour across the U.S. and Canada. In the spare and often gutting language for which she is known\, Kilgour poses questions about belonging\, inheritance and grief and triumphantly affirms the value of one ordinary working man’s life. Her live performances radiate with sincerity and humor. \nJean Rohe writes one-of-a-kind narrative songs\, concerned as much with the interior lives of her narrators as with the sociopolitical forces that shape them. Her long list of awards is a testament to the breadth of her vision\, spanning prizes in roots music\, song craft\, lyric writing\, theater arts\, social-justice work\, jazz performance\, and arts education from organizations as diverse as the Brooklyn Arts Council\, The NYC Women’s Fund for Media\, the Montreux Jazz Festival\, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, the Jonathan Larson Foundation\, the Johnny Mercer Foundation\, and MacDowell.

SUMMARY:BRANDON SWINGMAN SANDERS with Special Guests WARREN WOLF AND GREGORY GROOVER JR.
DESCRIPTION:He couldn’t have provided a better example than Compton’s Finest. Between the lively\, genial readings of the standards “Softly\, as in a Morning Sunrise” and “Monk’s Dream\,” the melodic soul of Sanders’s two originals “Compton’s Finest” and “SJB\,” or the masterful vocals from special guest Jazzmeia Horn on Stevie Wonder’s “I Can’t Help It” and Duke Ellington’s “In a Sentimental Mood\,” Sanders’s maiden voyage on record is a serious accomplishment. -Terry Hinte – allaboutjazz.com

SUMMARY:Abigail Lapell
DESCRIPTION:Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with More Songs About Love\, the extended companion to her JUNO-nominated 2024 album Anniversary. An evocative collection of original love songs\, Anniversary was produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker and recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake\, Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky\, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets. \nBalancing upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads\, More Songs About Love adds eight new stripped-down tracks to the collection. Combining cynical and sentimental elements\, the collection ultimately emerges as an earnest celebration of love. Anniversary & More Songs About Love is out May 3\, 2025 on Outside Music. \nOver the past six years and four spellbinding releases\, Lapell has garnered four Canadian Folk Music Awards and accrued a staggering 60 million streams across online platforms. She tours regularly across Canada\, the U.S. and Europe.

SUMMARY:Chris & Meredith Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Chris & Meredith Thompson are “powerful performers with a natural warmth for the live concert stage” writes Tom Lounges in The Beat\, (Valparaiso Indiana). The sisters achieve a vocal harmony known uniquely to siblings. At times\, their voices effortlessly combine in harmony as if they were two parts of one whole. Then\, just as effortlessly\, the individual voices will emerge\, creating a vocal sound that has become their trademark. Chris plays percussive\, riff-driven guitar. Meredith plays congas and flute. The Thompsons tell stories that resonate with the audience\, stories that celebrate common experience. “It is their mix of intriguing stories of people’s hopes and histories that makes the Thompsons music so compelling” writes MaryAnn Robertson in Spotlight (Portsmouth\, NH). The Thompsons have performed in venues across the US and released seven albums\,and look forward to returning to the Passim stage. They will be joined by Andy Brewster on bass and Richie Smith on lead guitar.

SUMMARY:MJ Corey at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes MJ Corey—writer and psychotherapist best known as Kardashian Kolloquium on TikTok and Instagram—for a discussion of her new book\, Dekonstructing the Kardashians: A New Media Manifesto. She will be joined in conversation by Tameka Vasquez—Guyanese-American futurist\, strategist\, trainer\, and speaker. \nAbout Dekonstructing the Kardashians\nFrom the creator of the highly popular Kardashian Kolloquium comes a new media manifesto for the TikTok age\, blending theory and cultural analysis to explain the meteoric rise of the Kardashians and explore what their fame can teach us about the way media functions today.  \nSince 2007\, Kim Kardashian and the extended Kardashian family have been mesmerizing—and scandalizing—America. Whether we’ve liked it or not\, we’ve been inundated with stories of their social lives\, scandals\, and reality show shenanigans and have witnessed the subsequent ascent of their multibillion-dollar fashion\, beauty\, and media empire. But the question remains: Why are the Kardashians so famous in the first place? And what does this tell us about the new media that have delivered them to us? \nIn Dekonstructing the Kardashians\, MJ Corey\, creator of the viral social media presence Kardashian Kolloquium\, brings us not only the definitive chronicle of the family that’s captivated a nation\, but\, perhaps more important\, the story of how media has transformed in the internet age and how it continues to transform us as individuals and as a culture at large. Part media theory\, part cultural analysis\, Dekonstructing the Kardashians interweaves history from the past fifty years of Western media—from the Old Hollywood studio system\, to the advent of the twenty-four-hour news cycle\, to tabloid culture and beyond—with analysis of the cultural influence Kim Kardashian wields over us all and the influences that have shaped her in kind. In so doing\, Corey offers proof that the Kardashians are\, in fact\, the First Family of our image-saturated and deeply divided nation\, while also demonstrating how they hold the keys to understanding the disjointed\, self-referential reality of our current era.
