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:On Location: Drawing the Outdoors (Harvard Art Museum)
DESCRIPTION:Discover how an intimate and reflective relationship with nature can shape artistic vision. \nMeander through visions of the outdoors to discover how landscapes offered 19th-century European artists freedom\, renewal\, and rediscovery beyond the pressures of society. Placing the natural world at the center of artistic expression and featuring drawings by J. M. W. Turner\, John Constable\, Gustave Courbet\, Edouard Manet\, Berthe Morisot\, Paul Cézanne\, and Vincent van Gogh\, among many others\, On Location: Drawing the Outdoors includes approximately 140 sketches\, watercolors\, and pastels in a showcase of creativity devoted to and inspired by nature. \nOrganized into 10 thematic sections\, the exhibition unfolds like a series of trails through the landscape\, tracing changing perceptions\, the rise of environmentalism\, and shifting national and artistic identities. Along the way\, it introduces the techniques\, formats\, and functions of outdoor drawings and watercolors\, showing how artists employed them to interpret the countryside and portray sites of natural beauty. On Location: Drawing the Outdoors offers visitors a space to reflect on how the experiences and motivations of 19th-century artists still resonate today. \nAn accompanying exhibition catalogue provides an expansive look at the topic through 5 panoramic essays and 10 focused thematic introductions\, by contributors with a range of interests and perspectives. \nCurated by Joachim Homann\, Maida and George Abrams Curator of Drawings\, with Meghan Grady\, Curatorial Assistant for Special Exhibitions and Publications\, Division of European and American Art\, and Susanne Bartels\, Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Curatorial Fellow (2024–26).

Rosenthal (Ph.D. 2026)\, and Erik Zou. \nFunding for the exhibition and related programming was provided by the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Support Fund\, the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation Support Fund for the Study of Dutch Drawing\, the Melvin R. Seiden and Janine Luke Fund for Publications and Exhibitions\, and the M.

SUMMARY:David Weinberger at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes David Weinberger—researcher at Harvard metaLAB\, long-time affiliate of the Harvard Berkman Klein Center\, and bestselling author of Everyday Chaos—for a discussion of his new book\, Beautiful Particulars: How AI’s Attention to the Smallest of Differences Is Reshaping Our Biggest Ideas. \nAbout Beautiful Particulars\nA fresh and eye-opening new explanation of AI—and how its focus on specifics is changing our ideas about ourselves and our world. \nFrom a Harvard researcher\, philosopher\, entrepreneur\, former comedy writer\, and bestselling author.  \nAmid the clamor about AI\, Beautiful Particulars poses a unique question: Not how does our use of AI change what we do\, but how is the idea of AI already subtly yet fundamentally reshaping how we think about ourselves and our world? \nIn clear\, engaging\, and even humorous prose\, David Weinberger offers a new perspective on how machine learning works and how it may already be changing our basic and deepest ideas. Through lively examples\, he shows that AI’s success—with all its risks and dangers—is taking us past our millennia of reliance on laws and principles by revealing what morality\, free will\, creativity\, causality knowledge\, and even reality itself look like now that we’re able to let the particulars speak their tiny truths. \nThe author poses questions not usually asked: What does a coin look like to AI? When AI gives you evidence that the earth is round\, why are its own reasons for saying that so different? Why does an AI image generator create a “selfie” of ancient Aztec warriors with broad smiles that it “believes” are historically unlikely? If AI becomes conscious but bodiless\, could it still make good moral decisions? Why is the world so much better at being causal than AI could ever “understand”? How does AI show us that genuine creativity is not about a “spark” but about moments that feel right? And how can you take the temperature of a joke? \nBeautiful Particulars offers a new—and hopeful—perspective on how machine learning works\, and how that’s already changing how we understand what it means to be human in the age of AI.

SUMMARY:the olllam at The Sinclair
DESCRIPTION:With a name aptly deriving from the old Irish for a grand master of a skill\, the olllam is a Transatlantic collective of formidable talent\, marrying stunning instrumental virtuosity\, Irish tradition\, and Detroit’s post-rock psych-sensibility. Their genre-defying compositions are lush with cyclical trance-like melodies\, co-written by Belfast uilleann piper/whistle player John McSherry\, his US protégé Tyler Duncan\, and master-drummer Michael Shimmin\, whose intricate\, often complex\, rhythms are then underpinned in recording by the phenomenal bass-playing genius of Joe Dart (Vulfpeck\, Fearless Flyers.) Their 2012 eponymous debut album is now considered something of a cult classic\, winning the 2012 Indie Acoustic Music Award for Best Instrumental Album. \nOver the years the olllam has toured as a live collective augmented by additional master musicians and collaborators\, including Dart’s Vulfpeck bandmates Theo Katzman and Woody Goss.  Since the recording and release of 2022’s long-awaited follow-up album elllegy\, which saw the olllam named as RTE Radio Best Group at that year’s Folk Awards\, the band has featured Limerick’s Seán O’Meara on guitar and Detroit producer Joe Hettinga on keys. In 2024 Scottish whistle-player and piper Ross Ainslie joined the olllam\, as Tyler decided to focus on his career as a producer. A hugely successful tour of UK and Ireland followed\, including sell out shows at Glasgow Barrowlands and London Jazz Cafe\, and a collaboration with Zedd on his August 2024 album\, Telos.

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

SUMMARY:The Bad Plus at The Sinclair
DESCRIPTION:This is the farewell tour of The Bad Plus — the last chance to see them live. \n  \nFor over two decades\, The Bad Plus have been one of the most influential and distinctive formations in modern jazz. The American band came to international attention in the early 2000s and quickly built a reputation for opening jazz to new audiences with complete musical conviction — uncompromising\, stylistically open\, and full of enormous energy. \n  \nThe group became famous for their radical reinterpretations of rock and pop songs as well as for their original compositions. Over the course of their career\, The Bad Plus released numerous acclaimed albums on labels including Columbia Records and Nonesuch\, and collaborated with artists such as Joshua Redman\, Wendy Lewis\, and Bill Frisell. \n  \n2026 marks the end of an era: the band has announced they will dissolve after their current tour. That makes this an especially rare opportunity to experience one of the defining groups of modern jazz one final time. \n  \nBetween complex structures\, improvisational openness and enormous rhythmic precision\, The Bad Plus have left a lasting mark on the sound of contemporary jazz.

SUMMARY:Harvard Square French Fry & Pairings Food Tour
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Square is famous for so much — Harvard University\, eclectic bookshops\, buskers\, and a food scene that punches well above its weight. But here’s what most visitors don’t know: it’s also home to some of the best french fries in all of Massachusetts. Together with our guide Larom\, a Harvard alum\, we built an entire tour around that fact\, and it’s become one of the most unique food experiences in Cambridge. \nOn this 90-minute walking adventure\, you’ll sample distinctly different styles of fries at three beloved Harvard Square spots — from classic hand-cut wedges to smoky BBQ fries to legendary sweet potato fries — each paired with a drink chosen specifically to bring out the flavors. We’ll try the original raspberry lime rickey\, a refreshing peach lemonade\, and a crazy ice cream frappe that has to be seen to be believed. All pairings are non-alcoholic\, making this tour genuinely fun for the whole family. \nAlong the way\, your guide will walk you through the beloved cobblestone streets past Harvard Yard\, the Widener Library\, the quirky Harvard Lampoon building\, and the storied Harvard Faculty Club — sharing the funny\, fresh\, and occasionally absurd stories that make this neighborhood unlike anywhere else in Boston. You’ll also hear the full saga of the French Fry Wars of the late 20th Century\, a deliciously bizarre chapter of local food history that explains why Harvard Square’s fry scene is what it is today. \nThis food tour is ideal for: \n\nVisitors to Boston looking for a memorable\, off-the-beaten-path Cambridge experience\nFamilies with kids and teens who want something interactive and delicious\nDate nights — quirky\, fun\, and plenty of good food\nBirthday celebrations and small group outings\nLocal students\, grad students\, alums\, and neighbors who want to see a new side of Harvard!

SUMMARY:Hiawatha Performances and the Garden River First Nation
DESCRIPTION:In August of 1900\, several members of the Longfellow family travelled to Desbarats\, Ontario\, where they had been invited to attend the first performance of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem Hiawatha put on by members of the Garden River First Nation. These productions\, which spread throughout Indigenous communities across Western Ontario and Northern Michigan in the years that followed\, featured largely Native actors and were performed in the Anishinaabe language. Analyzing these Hiawatha performances offers a window to explore how Native people reappropriated Western representations to insist on the survival of their own peoples and traditions. \nThis event will feature two talks about the August 1900 performance based on research done in the collections held by the Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters’ National Historic Site. The first\, by Professor Karl Hele\, will describe the context and circumstances of the performance. The second\, by Professor Alan Corbiere\, will look at the use of the Anishinaabe language in the performances and in the material created for the Longfellow family.

SUMMARY:Dana Mashoian Walrath at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Dana Mashoian Walrath—award-winning writer\, artist\, and author of the graphic memoir Aliceheimer’s—for a discussion of her haunting new graphic narrative\, The Book of Genocides. \nAbout The Book of Genocides\nIn this haunting graphic narrative\, an award-winning writer\, artist\, and descendant of genocide survivors brings history’s darkest horrors to life\, calling on us to remember\, repair\, and resist. \nThe Book of Genocides is a haunting graphic narrative that compels readers to confront the most harrowing chapters of human history not as distant events but as visceral experiences. Dana Mashoian Walrath covers ten major atrocities across five centuries: the mass slaughter of the First Peoples of the Americas\, the brutalization of Black Americans\, the devastation of Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders\, the Armenian genocide\, the Holocaust\, the Cambodian killing fields\, the Rwandan genocide\, the Bosnian genocide\, the deadly persecution of the Rohingya in Myanmar\, and the genocide in Gaza. \nWalrath makes plain that the purpose of genocide is always a land grab\, and its central apparatus is dehumanization: each chapter delves into how dehumanization operates\, not just through violence but through the political and intellectual systems that enable it. The book’s unique interactive design allows readers to reshape images of victims into grotesque forms mirroring the mental mechanisms of dehumanization. With each page turn\, the victims’ humanity is restored\, making their suffering undeniable. \nThe Book of Genocides is an unsettling experience\, shot through with the emotional gravity of horrific events—not just historical memories but ongoing realities\, painful truths that shape our world and demand our action.
