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:Francis Fukuyama at the Cambridge Public Library
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. Following the presentation will be a book signing. \nNote: Books bundled with tickets may only be picked up at the venue the night of the event\, and cannot be picked up in-store beforehand. Ticket holders who purchased a book-included ticket and are unable to attend the event will be able to pick up their book at Harvard Book Store up to 30 days following the event. This offer expires after 30 days. Please note we cannot guarantee signed copies will be available to ticket holders who do not attend the event. \n  \nAbout In the Realm of the Last Man\nFrom the celebrated author of the international bestseller The End of History and the Last Man and other books on the most important political questions of our time\, comes a strikingly personal intellectual memoir. \nFrancis Fukuyama\, a leading public intellectual\, is well-known for his landmark\, bestselling works of political philosophy and history. 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

SUMMARY:Paul Yoon at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Paul Yoon—acclaimed author of Snow Hunters\, The Mountain\, Run Me to Earth\, and The Hive and the Honey—for a discussion of his new novel\, Etna. He will be joined in conversation by Andrew Krivak—acclaimed author of Mule Boy and The Bear\, and visiting lecturer on English at Harvard University. \nAbout Etna\nNAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES\, TIME\, and LITHUB \nA BEST BOOK OF THE SUMMER FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES\, CHICAGO TRIBUNE\, THE BOSTON GLOBE\, LITHUB\, and SCARY MOMMY \nBeloved author and winner of The Story Prize\, Paul Yoon\, is back with the unforgettable story of a working dog\, Etna\, who\, after a devastating war\, embarks on an odyssey in the hopes of returning home. \nSet in a fictional country in the present day\, this is a story told through the eyes of an ex-military dog\, Etna. After surviving years of a devastating war\, Etna decides one night to leave the men he has fought alongside for years and return home—to the place where he was taken from when he was young\, in the thin but persistent hope that if a home exists for him\, it might be there. \nThus begins an exhilarating odyssey told through the eyes of a dog as he traverses across ruined landscapes and fights to survive in a world that\, even in peacetime\, proves to be just as precarious. Along the way\, he encounters other animals and humans who are attempting to figure out how to start again. What makes a life when there is no home to go back to? How do we begin to trust each other again after such profound loss? \nThis is a novel about the power of an idea\, about never giving up\, and ultimately a novel about finding hope in the most dire of times.

SUMMARY:Glitterer
DESCRIPTION:Glitterer\, the Washington\, D.C.\, post-hardcore band\, has a new record\, its fourth full-length album. It’s called erer and it’s on Purple Circle Records\, a little label that singer/bassist Ned Russin co-owns. Performed by a revamped lineup — drummer Robin Zeijlon and guitarist Colin Gorman came on board last year\, joining singer/bassist Ned Russin and keyboardist Nicole Dao — and recorded by the prolific producer/engineer Arthur Rizk\, who has worked on every Glittererer release since 2019\, erer is the most thematically urgent work the band has produced to date. It’s also the most immediately and sustainedly ear-pleasing.\nParadigmatically\, the lead single\, “Stainless Steel\,” booms Albini-like with sturdy yet subtle drumming\, massive stereo guitars\, and all manner of counterpoints and complements emanating from the keyboard\, in support of a melody — a classic Glitterer melody — that twists and turns\, starts and stops\, and goes exactly where the listener didn’t remotely realize it needed to go. And in Russin’s typically sapient lyrics we hear\, without superfluity or mawkishness\, the bewilderment\, resignation\, anger\, guilt\, and stubborn commitment to beauty and community that the album exists to express. It’s the dialectical inner monologue of a socially engaged\, intellectually curious creative aspirant — a person not unlike yourself — who can’t help but notice that it’s all coming to nothing. “It’s everywhere I turn / I can’t escape / I wish I had ability innate / I wish I wasn’t incapacitated\,” Russin sings. “I’ll pretend that I’m stainless steel / I’ll forget that this all is real.”  What more needs to be said?\nThese are not optimistic times\, and this is not\, at the textual level\, an optimistic record. See for yourself:\nFrom “Until”: “There is nothing you can’t have / Don’t be afraid to reach and grab / Take and take with no regret / See if you can find the end / There is always more / Until there’s not”\nFrom “Not Forever”: “Arc of progress bend towards me … / Have I grown complacent / After all? … / Self absorbed and so important / Aren’t we all? / Everything and everybody / Individual”\nAnd yet\, insofar as the lyrics refuse to put any kind of gloss on the emotional truth of the current moment\, the music on erer dedicates itself\, with intricacy and care\, to the listener. A band that wanted only to aggrandize its own precious feelings of alienation wouldn’t go to the trouble of writing choruses and solos as powerful and effective as these. Ever since Glitterer began\, in 2017\, when Ned Russin began inconspicuously recording and releasing songs out of his New York apartment — short\, spooky synth/drum-machine-based existential ditties that made your toe tap and your skin crawl — the songs have reliably gotten brighter\, crunchier\, catchier\, and less ambivalent about their own charms. In this regard\, Glitterer’s erer is something of an apotheosis\, a record that says\, Yes\, the world-at-large is miserable and dissolute\, but music is eternal and beautiful\, and can’t be taken away from us so long as we continue to play it. So that’s what we’re going to do. We have to.

From humble beginnings\, Sandoval began studying classical trumpet  at twelve\, but it wasn’t long before the fire of jazz took hold.

The accolades match the legend: 10  GRAMMY Awards (19 nominations)\, 6 Billboard Awards\, and an Emmy Award for  composing the acclaimed underscore to HBO’s For Love or Country starring Andy  Garcia. \nWidely recognized as one of the greatest trumpet players in history\, Sandoval’s  astonishing range\, agility\, and control allow him to execute the most intricate passages  with power and emotion. His unique gift lies in his ability to seamlessly blend jazz\,  classical\, and Latin traditions\, creating a voice that is unmistakably his own. Beyond  performance\, he is a prolific composer\, arranger\, and educator\, inspiring generations of  musicians with his passion and dedication. \nAll GA sections (Main Floor GA & Miles Davis Mezzanine) will be seated by host and are first come\, first served (other than where a reserved sign is posted to table).  If you require special seating\, please call the venue for accommodations no later than 48 hours prior to show date. \nWe offer dinner/show packages\, featuring a wide selection of food in a buffet setting\, served in the Boathouse 400 restaurant on the 2nd floor of the hotel.  Dinner is 2 hours prior to showtime   In addition to the variety of foods offered\, dinner includes:  1 glass of house red or white wine\, beer or non-alcoholic beverage\, 18% gratuity\, 7% state tax and complimentary parking while enjoying dinner and show\, all for $98 per person.  Dinner/show packages are offered at premium tables throughout the seating map.

SUMMARY:Emile Chabal at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Emile Chabal—Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Edinburgh and historian of twentieth-century European political and intellectual life—for a discussion of his new biography\, The Age of Hobsbawm: The Life of a Revolutionary Historian. He will be joined in conversation by James Cronin— Research Professor in History at Boston College and affiliate of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard University\, where he currently co-chairs the Seminar on Contemporary European Politics. \nAbout The Age of Hobsbawm\nAn intellectual biography of Eric Hobsbawm\, one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. \nEric Hobsbawm (1917–2012) was one of the foremost European intellectuals of the twentieth century. He published hundreds of articles on modern history and culture\, and his books became canonical works and bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. His crystal-clear writing\, vast erudition\, and ability to make his Marxist analysis digestible to a wide audience brought him worldwide renown. \nYet Hobsbawm was no academic hermit. Through his globetrotting journalism\, he was embedded in an extraordinary web of politicians\, activists\, and fellow intellectuals across Europe\, South Asia\, and the Americas\, including Manmohan Singh\, Che Guevara\, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva\, Fernand Braudel\, E. P. Thompson\, Arno Mayer\, and Salvador Allende. Emile Chabal traces the origins of Hobsbawm’s ideas and most famous writings by exploring his scholarly foundations\, delving deep into the archives to uncover hidden links and unexpected conversations that shaped his pathbreaking work. \nGoing well beyond the Ages series of modern history books for which Hobsbawm is best known\, Chabal offers the first substantial interpretation of Hobsbawm’s entire body of writing. Indeed\, The Age of Hobsbawm is also a trove of unique insights into the generations of Marxist writers with whom Hobsbawm was in conversation—authors whose work continues to shape political debates globally.

SUMMARY:10-TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNER ARTURO SANDOVAL
DESCRIPTION:ARTURO SANDOVAL \n2024 Kennedy Center Honoree \nPresidential Medal of Freedom recipient (President Obama) 10 time Grammy Award Winner \nGrammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award \nEmmy Award recipient (Best Composer) \nSix-time Billboard Award winner \nHonorary Doctorate recipient in Fine Arts University of Notre-Dame \nA protégé of the legendary Dizzy Gillespie\, ARTURO SANDOVAL was born in Artemisa\, Cuba  on November 6\, 1949—just two years after Gillespie first introduced Latin influences  into American jazz. From humble beginnings\, Sandoval began studying classical trumpet  at twelve\, but it wasn’t long before the fire of jazz took hold. Today\, he stands as one of  the most brilliant and multifaceted musicians of our time: a virtuoso of trumpet and  flugelhorn\, a masterful pianist\, timbalero\, composer\, and a fearless innovator whose  artistry has captivated millions around the globe. \nSandoval is renowned as one of the most dynamic performers alive. He has lit up the  stage at the Oscars\, the GRAMMY Awards\, and the Billboard Awards\, dazzling audiences  with both breathtaking technique and sheer joy. The accolades match the legend: 10  GRAMMY Awards (19 nominations)\, 6 Billboard Awards\, and an Emmy Award for  composing the acclaimed underscore to HBO’s For Love or Country starring Andy  Garcia. \nWidely recognized as one of the greatest trumpet players in history\, Sandoval’s  astonishing range\, agility\, and control allow him to execute the most intricate passages  with power and emotion. His unique gift lies in his ability to seamlessly blend jazz\,  classical\, and Latin traditions\, creating a voice that is unmistakably his own. Beyond  performance\, he is a prolific composer\, arranger\, and educator\, inspiring generations of  musicians with his passion and dedication. \nAll GA sections (Main Floor GA & Miles Davis Mezzanine) will be seated by host and are first come\, first served (other than where a reserved sign is posted to table).  If you require special seating\, please call the venue for accommodations no later than 48 hours prior to show date. \nWe offer dinner/show packages\, featuring a wide selection of food in a buffet setting\, served in the Boathouse 400 restaurant on the 2nd floor of the hotel.  Dinner is 2 hours prior to showtime   In addition to the variety of foods offered\, dinner includes:  1 glass of house red or white wine\, beer or non-alcoholic beverage\, 18% gratuity\, 7% state tax and complimentary parking while enjoying dinner and show\, all for $98 per person.  Dinner/show packages are offered at premium tables throughout the seating map.
