Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Arendt Center December 4, 2025, marks fifty years since the passing of Hannah Arendt. Though many of us never had the privilege of knowing her, we continue to feel her presence—and her absence—deeply. Her ideas still spark conversations around the world, reminding us of the power of thinking together. To honor her memory, we invite you to join us for a guided walk to her grave. There, we will share stories that have been lovingly passed down, and recite the Kaddish—the traditional Jewish prayer of mourning—or any other words of remembrance you wish to offer. Following the visit, we’ll gather for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and pastries) at the Hannah Arendt Center.
Meeting Point: Hannah Arendt Center (we will depart promptly at 3:30 to ensure we return before dark)
Kindly RSVP via email to Jana Mader at [email protected] by Friday, November 28th.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.
This discussion explores a paper estimating the causal effects of monetary policy shocks on household consumption, with additional analysis of labor market and income responses, disaggregated by gender and race. Puig finds that contractionary monetary policy reduces consumption more for black than white households, with the largest declines among households headed by black women. These gaps persist after accounting for differences in household education, debt, and income, but are partly explained by differences in marital status and spousal insurance against shocks. These shocks also lead households to shift expenditures from non-essential and durable goods toward essential non-durable goods and services. The analysis provides estimates of marginal propensities to consume across groups and shows that contractionary, rather than expansionary, shocks drive aggregate consumption responses. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for intersectional demographic heterogeneity in evaluating the distributional effects of monetary policy.
Aina Puig is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Economics at Pace University. She is an applied macroeconomist, researching monetary economics, consumer finance, and inequality topics. She has worked on projects studying the distributional effects of monetary policy while visiting Federal Reserve Banks and the International Monetary Fund. She received her PhD in Economics from American University and her BS in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Wormsley, that transforms submitted dreams into a growing “cosmic quilt” — algorithmically generated patterns rooted in Lakota and Black quilting traditions. Through sculptures, scores, mosaic benches, and a participatory digital platform, it invites collective dreaming as a way to reimagine public space, rest, and future possibilities for communities often excluded from those privileges.Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program; Art History and Visual Culture Program; Bard College Conservatory of Music; Bard Conservatory Preparatory Division; Bard Music Festival; Bard Theater and Performance Program; Center for Foreign Languages and Cultures; Center for Indigenous Studies; Computer Science Program; Dance Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing; Division of Social Studies; Division of the Arts; Experimental Humanities Program; Faculty; Foreign Languages, Cultures, and Literatures (FLCL); Global and International Studies Program; Integrated Arts Program; Multicultural Studies; Multidisciplinary Studies Program; Music Program; Studio Arts Program.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC Johann Strauss II Egyptian March MozartThe Magic Flute Overture Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No. 5, “Egyptian” Artwork from the exhibition Divine Egypt
Leon Botsteinconductor Terrence Wilsonpiano
In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, followed by a full performance of the works and an audience Q&A.
In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren’t just images—they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, European composers like Mozart and Johann Strauss II incorporated influences from the Middle East into some of their music. Saint-Saëns’s Fifth Piano Concerto was written in Egypt, where the composer included in his work the melody of a Nubian love song he had heard along the Nile. Grammy-nominated pianist Terrence Wilson, winner of the SONY ES Award for Musical Excellence, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the Juilliard Petschek Award, will perform the concerto with TŌN.
The exhibition Divine Egypt will be on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from October 12, 2025–January 19, 2026 in gallery 899.Sponsored by: The Orchestra Now.

Hispanic Studies Student Colloquium: Mapping the Future through Literature and Art
Monday, December 8, 2025 12:30 am – 2 pm
Weis Cinema, Campus Center This colloquium explores contemporary literature and visual art from Iberia and Latin America that challenge the present in order to imagine alternative futures. As dystopian narratives dominate and often reinforce the status quo, thinkers like Mark Fisher, Donna Haraway, and Layla Martínez argue that the inability to envision change is a political condition. Still, between utopia and dystopia, artists and writers are mapping new possibilities. In response to ecological collapse, gender violence, pandemics, and other social traumas, their work does more than speculate—it acts in the present, cultivating resistance and collective care. What roles do literature and art play in imagining change? What power do they hold amid widespread pessimism?

Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Blum N211, the jazz room Marshall Trammell – a self-described ‘music research strategist’ – experimental archivist, percussionist, conductor, and composer will join guitarist Luis Chavez for the performance of Border/Lands/La Frontera. Join us for an improvised, experimental, and sonic (instrumental) conversation about the borderland(s).
Marshall Trammell is a self-styled Music Research Strategist. As such, he is an Experimental/Creative Music Percussionist, Conductor, and Composer. His aesthetics and activism are centered in social change interventions and generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries. Trammell’s work also uses political aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music-and-artmaking in order to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.

Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe. From the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century, Arendt traces the changing face of revolution and its relationship to war while underscoring the crucial role such events will play in the future. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.

From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025
Runs through Sunday, December 14, 2025 11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Galleries From the Collection: First Year Curatorial Practice 2025 comprises three exhibitions curated by the MA candidates of the Class of 2027. Staged in three successive rooms of the inner CCS Bard Galleries, these shows feature works drawn from the Marieluise Hessel Collection. Opening Reception: Thursday, December 4, 5pm to 7pm.
The first exhibition, You Are Still Here, brings together artworks that evoke in-between states, proposing to see movement—whether documented in a boarding pass or held in bodily memory—as an assertion and negotiation of presence. Spinning, flickering, ticking, and collapsing forms fill the next show, titled form falters rhythm holds, which underscores how fragile the synchronized systems of daily life are, and asks what it might mean to move through space, or through life, without the insistence that everything stay in sync. Finally, the third exhibition—[ ], Rinse, Repeat—challenges the supposed value of labor, exposing the mesh of repeated habits and socialized gestures that sustain the illusion of the productive body.
Featured artists include: Janine Antoni, Miguel Calderón, Leonora Carrington, Martin Creed, Tacita Dean, Kerry Downey, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Gabriel Orozco, Philippe Parreno, Mika Rottenberg, Joanna Seitz, Andreas Slominski, Monika Sosnowska, and Danielle Webb.

Arendt Center December 4, 2025, marks fifty years since the passing of Hannah Arendt. Though many of us never had the privilege of knowing her, we continue to feel her presence—and her absence—deeply. Her ideas still spark conversations around the world, reminding us of the power of thinking together. To honor her memory, we invite you to join us for a guided walk to her grave. There, we will share stories that have been lovingly passed down, and recite the Kaddish—the traditional Jewish prayer of mourning—or any other words of remembrance you wish to offer. Following the visit, we’ll gather for Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and pastries) at the Hannah Arendt Center.
Meeting Point: Hannah Arendt Center (we will depart promptly at 3:30 to ensure we return before dark)
Kindly RSVP via email to Jana Mader at [email protected] by Friday, November 28th.Sponsored by: Hannah Arendt Center.
This discussion explores a paper estimating the causal effects of monetary policy shocks on household consumption, with additional analysis of labor market and income responses, disaggregated by gender and race. Puig finds that contractionary monetary policy reduces consumption more for black than white households, with the largest declines among households headed by black women. These gaps persist after accounting for differences in household education, debt, and income, but are partly explained by differences in marital status and spousal insurance against shocks. These shocks also lead households to shift expenditures from non-essential and durable goods toward essential non-durable goods and services. The analysis provides estimates of marginal propensities to consume across groups and shows that contractionary, rather than expansionary, shocks drive aggregate consumption responses. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for intersectional demographic heterogeneity in evaluating the distributional effects of monetary policy.
Aina Puig is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Economics at Pace University. She is an applied macroeconomist, researching monetary economics, consumer finance, and inequality topics. She has worked on projects studying the distributional effects of monetary policy while visiting Federal Reserve Banks and the International Monetary Fund. She received her PhD in Economics from American University and her BS in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park.

About Cosmologyscape: Cosmologyscape is a public-art project commissioned by Creative Time, created by artists Kite and Alisha B. Wormsley, that transforms submitted dreams into a growing “cosmic quilt” — algorithmically generated patterns rooted in Lakota and Black quilting traditions. Through sculptures, scores, mosaic benches, and a participatory digital platform, it invites collective dreaming as a way to reimagine public space, rest, and future possibilities for communities often excluded from those privileges.Sponsored by: American and Indigenous Studies Program; Art History and Visual Culture Program; Bard College Conservatory of Music; Bard Conservatory Preparatory Division; Bard Music Festival; Bard Theater and Performance Program; Center for Foreign Languages and Cultures; Center for Indigenous Studies; Computer Science Program; Dance Program; Division of Languages and Literature; Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing; Division of Social Studies; Division of the Arts; Experimental Humanities Program; Faculty; Foreign Languages, Cultures, and Literatures (FLCL); Global and International Studies Program; Integrated Arts Program; Multicultural Studies; Multidisciplinary Studies Program; Music Program; Studio Arts Program.

In the popular series Sight & Sound, TŌN explores the parallels between orchestral music and visual art. Each performance includes a discussion with conductor and music historian Leon Botstein accompanied by on-screen exhibition images and live musical excerpts, followed by a full performance of the works and an audience Q&A.
In ancient Egypt, images of gods weren’t just images—they brought the gods to life. Egyptians believed that it was through their depictions in tombs, temples, and shrines that the deities could enter sacred spaces and become active participants in rituals, offering a vital connection between the human and divine worlds. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, European composers like Mozart and Johann Strauss II incorporated influences from the Middle East into some of their music. Saint-Saëns’s Fifth Piano Concerto was written in Egypt, where the composer included in his work the melody of a Nubian love song he had heard along the Nile. Grammy-nominated pianist Terrence Wilson, winner of the SONY ES Award for Musical Excellence, an Avery Fisher Career Grant, and the Juilliard Petschek Award, will perform the concerto with TŌN.
The exhibition Divine Egypt will be on view at The Met Fifth Avenue from October 12, 2025–January 19, 2026 in gallery 899.Sponsored by: The Orchestra Now.
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Celebrate the holiday season with an enchanting program of new music from the Bard Chinese Ensemble! This year’s program flows like a river of imagination — from the mist-veiled bridges of Jiagnan to the shadowed realm of spirits and demons, re-imagined through the lens of a German composer. One work invites the audience to experience three Asian fruits, transforming taste into sound, while the finale — essentially a Chinese La Mer — evokes the many facets of China’s rivers. Through these journeys, tradition breathes anew: in the poetry of nature, the pulse of myth, the colors and fragrances of tropical fruit, and the eternal song of flowing water. Come enjoy the sensational sounds of this large ensemble featuring a unique blend of Chinese and Western instruments. Ensemble music director Shutong Li conducts.

Hispanic Studies Student Colloquium: Mapping the Future through Literature and Art
Monday, December 8, 2025 12:30 am – 2 pm
Weis Cinema, Campus Center This colloquium explores contemporary literature and visual art from Iberia and Latin America that challenge the present in order to imagine alternative futures. As dystopian narratives dominate and often reinforce the status quo, thinkers like Mark Fisher, Donna Haraway, and Layla Martínez argue that the inability to envision change is a political condition. Still, between utopia and dystopia, artists and writers are mapping new possibilities. In response to ecological collapse, gender violence, pandemics, and other social traumas, their work does more than speculate—it acts in the present, cultivating resistance and collective care. What roles do literature and art play in imagining change? What power do they hold amid widespread pessimism?
*Open to all members of the Spanish-speaking community at Bard.*

Online Event We're reading On Revolution. Hannah Arendt’s penetrating observations on the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, have been fundamental to our understanding of our political landscape. On Revolution is her classic exploration of a phenomenon that has reshaped the globe. From the eighteenth-century rebellions in America and France to the explosive changes of the twentieth century, Arendt traces the changing face of revolution and its relationship to war while underscoring the crucial role such events will play in the future. Illuminating and prescient, this timeless work will fascinate anyone who seeks to decipher the forces that shape our tumultuous age.
