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 Ego and the Oracle
DESCRIPTION:Boston-based band Jim’s Big Ego presents an original theatrical production entitled The Ego & The Oracle – an evening of spontaneous musical divination. \nPart improvisational theater\, part cabaret\, part audience participation\, The Ego & The Oracle is a live stage spectacular where shuffle play meets the I-Ching. Audience members are invited on stage to ask personal questions of The Oracle. They then spin a giant wheel containing songs by Jim’s Big Ego. When the wheel stops\, the band performs the chosen song\, which is then interpreted as the answer to the question by author Shawn Peters. The outcome can be humorous\, inspirational and/or moving. At the end of the show\, the band improvises a vamp while Jim reads and sings the unanswered questsions. \nIt is a light hearted show about synchronicity and it brings the audience together to discover we all have similar concerns and questions.

SUMMARY:Dreams in Nightmares
DESCRIPTION:Director: Shatara Michelle Ford Run Time: 128 min. Format: DCP Release Year: 2026 \nStarring: Charlie Barnett\, Denée Benton\, Dezi Bing\, Mars Storm Rucker\, Sasha Compère \n\n  \nPremiere Run!\nIn their second film\, Shatara Michelle Ford (Test Pattern) puts their singular stamp on the American road movie. DREAMS IN NIGHTMARES stars Denée Benton (The Gilded Age) as Z\, the nominal leader of a group of queer African-American college friends now in their mid-30s. Z is a writer and has a seemingly idyllic life in Los Angeles but\, when she is laid off from a teaching job\, she finds she still has some soul-searching to do. Cue the possibility of a road trip to track down the most free-spirited of their clique who has dropped off the map\, maybe somewhere in the Midwest. Gathering roommates Tasha (Compère) and Lauren (Bing) in New York City\, the trio set off on an adventure… next stop\, Iowa. \nAnchored in themes of chosen family and self-discovery\, DREAMS IN NIGHTMARES blends humor and emotional depth against the backdrop of a journey through the heartland of the U.S. and beyond. This film is an expansive and tender ode to chosen family and to the radical act of claiming space to dream—and to exist—on one’s own terms in an increasingly fraught country. – adapted from notes by Lunette Films \n“An essential new voice in Black cinema.” – Jourdain Searles\, The Film Stage

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:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:From New Jersey\, John Gorka is a world-renowned singer-songwriter who got his start at a neighborhood coffeehouse in eastern Pennsylvania. \nThough small\, Godfrey Daniels was and is one of the oldest and most venerable music institutions and has long been a hangout for music lovers and aspiring musicians. In the late 1970’s\, John was one of these aspiring musicians. Although his academic coursework at Moravian College lay in Philosophy and History\, music began to offer paramount enticements. Soon he found himself living in the club’s basement and acting as resident MC and sound man\, encountering legendary folk troubadours like Canadian singer-songwriter Stan Rogers\, Eric Andersen\, Tom Paxton and Claudia Schmidt. Their brand of folk-inspired acoustic music inspired him\, and before long he was performing his own songs – mostly as an opener for visiting acts. \nIn 1998\, after five successful recordings and seven years at Windham Hill/High Street\, John felt the need for a change and decided to return to his musical roots at Red House Records. The choice was driven\, in part\, by the artistic integrity that the label represents in an industry where the business of music too often takes precedence. Now with this\, his 11th studio album\, he returns to his roots with So Dark You See\, his most compelling and traditional album to date.

Miller\, the creator behind Sam O’Nella Academy\, has spent ten years teaching his 4.8 million subscribers about the past and the present. Here\, he turns towards fiction—and the future… \nA hyper advanced alien race seemingly solves all existential threats—no climate change\, no nuclear weapons\, no singularity crisis…and yet\, in crisis we remain. Because humans are their own existential threat in the not dys- or u-topian\, but simply “topian” world of this interconnected collection: In “Four Little Words” scientists discover the shocking truth about grass. In “Eggs For Roman\,” a baboon with human intelligence gets cyberbullied. And in “Beat\,” a young man must save his own life from the music that’s taken it hostage. \nOften funny and always profound\, Still Lost bends reality just enough for it to become a mirror and takes its readers on a daring and strange ride—an ultra-timely\, sardonic collection that feasts on the follies and earnest absurdities of humanity. \nBio\nSam A. Miller is an educational comedic YouTuber and Shorty Awards finalist with 4.8 million subscribers\, known for his sardonic\, MS-paint illustrated videos on everything from pirates to Pliny to presidential pets. A life-long reader\, this is his debut publication.

SUMMARY:Virginia Eubanks at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Virginia Eubanks—investigative journalist\, author of Automating Inequality\, and an associate professor of political science at the University at Albany\, State University of New York—for a discussion of her new memoir\, A Guide to Open Water Lifesaving: Lessons on Love\, Care\, and Survival. \nAbout A Guide to Open Water Lifesaving\nA spirited\, wise\, often hilarious\, profoundly moving story of one woman’s efforts to survive caregiving\, trauma\, love\, and the systems seemingly set up to fail us. \nOne night\, Virginia Eubanks received the kind of news we all fear. Her beloved partner had been brutally beaten just steps from their house. In the weeks\, then months and years that followed\, they faced a cascade of setbacks: police disinterest\, suspended health insurance\, inadequate medical care\, lost income\, lost friends\, endless paperwork\, and a serious case of post-traumatic stress disorder. Then\, a second case. Eubanks had developed what is known as “collateral” PTSD\, common among caregivers but rarely discussed. \nA reporter and an activist\, Eubanks turned to reliable sources to figure out how to heal: scientists\, therapists\, trauma theorists\, social movements. But it wasn’t until she happened on an old lifesaving manual that she found advice that actually helped. Inspired by its lessons\, she took a series of classes: kayak self-rescue\, winter survival\, map and compass\, bushwhacking\, first aid\, lifeguarding. In a memoir as disarmingly funny as it is quietly wise\, Eubanks draws lessons from these experiences\, her research\, and interviews with everyone from neuroscientists to forest rangers. The result is a moving\, hopeful\, darkly funny story of two people caught in their own kind of wilderness\, trying not just to survive but to truly care for each other. Built from cataclysmic loss and tenacious love\, A Guide to Open Water Lifesaving challenges readers to reconsider the networks of care that sustain our lives\, reminding us that no one survives the wilderness alone. \nBio\nVirginia Eubanks is an investigative journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine\, Harper’s Magazine\, The Guardian\, Nature\, and Scientific American. She is the author of Automating Inequality: How HighTech Tools Profile\, Police\, Punish the Poor\, and A Guide to Open Water Lifesaving. She is an associate professor of political science at the University at Albany\, State University of New York. When not sleeping in her truck in the Adirondacks\, she lives in Troy\, New York. Photo Credit: William Gill
