Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Online Event This fall, we're reading The Human Condition, one of Hannah Arendt's most influential works. First published in 1958, the book asks timeless questions about what it means to live, work, and act together in the modern world. Arendt explores how advances in technology and human knowledge can expand our power while also making it harder to understand—or control—the consequences of our actions. Those questions remain just as urgent today.
Free for HAC members and the Bard community, the Virtual Reading Group is a weekly masterclass with Arendt Center Founder Roger Berkowitz, who personally leads the sessions and engages with participants on Hannah Arendt's work.

Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library Attention seniors! The lottery to secure a carrel in Stevenson Library opens at 12:00 noon on Monday, September 7. Students who are registered for Senior Project I or II and working on a research or writing-based project are eligible. Before entering the lottery, you should:
Check your library and ILLiad accounts to be sure you don’t have any overdue books or replacement fees on your account. You are not eligible for the lottery if your library accounts are not in good standing.
Consider whether you’d prefer a senior shelf instead of a carrel. Senior shelves are plentiful, and anyone that requests one will get one. If you really just want a place to store your research material in the library and don’t think you’ll use the desk, please request a shelf instead of a carrel. You can mark this preference on the carrel lottery form.
Consider sharing a carrel with a friend. This is a new option this year. If you have someone you’d like to share with, you BOTH must enter the lottery and name each other as a potential carrel-mate. Sharing is not required, but sharers will be given preference in the lottery, meaning you have a better chance of getting a carrel if you opt for this.
Note: Lottery entries are not timestamped. Those that enter on Monday at 12:01 have the same chances and those that enter on Sunday at 4:59, so please do take the time to clear up your library account and consider your options before filling out the form.
Enter the lottery here. The lottery form will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. You will receive an email regarding lottery results the following week. Good luck! For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space Jazz at Bard proudly presents an evening with two of the most distinctive voices in creative music: Marilyn Crispell and Bard College's own Angelica Sanchez.
This performance brings that acclaimed partnership to the stage, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the artistry behind How to Turn the Moon live. Moving fluidly between composition and improvisation, Crispell and Sanchez create music of intimacy, intensity, and discovery, demonstrating the boundless expressive possibilities of the piano duo.
Join us after the concert for a wine and cheese reception.
Tickets for the evening performance and reception start at $60 per person. Proceeds benefit Jazz at Bard. For more information, call 845-758-6822.
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space An NEA Jazz Master, 2025 and 2026 Mellon Foundation Jazz Legacy Fellow, Marilyn Crispell has forged a singular musical language shaped by deep lyricism, fearless improvisation, and a lifelong commitment to artistic exploration. Her work with Anthony Braxton, Reggie Workman, Joe Lovano, Wadada Leo Smith, and many others has established her as one of the most influential pianists and composers in contemporary creative music. For more than four decades, Crispell has remained a pioneering force in avant-garde jazz, creating music that is both adventurous and deeply expressive.
Joining her is Bard's own Angelica Sanchez, an acclaimed composer, pianist, and educator whose music seamlessly integrates intricate compositional structures with the spontaneity of improvisation. A leading voice in modern creative music, Sanchez has collaborated with artists including Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Motian, Nicole Mitchell, Joe Lovano, Tim Berne, and Billy Hart. Her recordings have received widespread critical acclaim, with Sparkle Beings named one of The New York Times' Top Ten Jazz Recordings of 2022 and Nighttime Creatures selected among DownBeat's Best Recordings of 2023.
A centerpiece of this collaboration is their celebrated duo recording, How to Turn the Moon (Pyroclastic Records). Recognized in NPR's Critics Poll as one of the Top 50 Recordings of 2020, the album showcases an extraordinary musical dialogue between Crispell and Sanchez. Through expansive improvisations, subtle textures, and profound listening, the recording reveals the deep artistic connection shared by these two remarkable pianists.
This performance brings that acclaimed partnership to the stage, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the artistry behind How to Turn the Moon live. Moving fluidly between composition and improvisation, Crispell and Sanchez create music of intimacy, intensity, and discovery, demonstrating the boundless expressive possibilities of the piano duo.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library Attention seniors! The lottery to secure a carrel in Stevenson Library opens at 12:00 noon on Monday, September 7. Students who are registered for Senior Project I or II and working on a research or writing-based project are eligible. Before entering the lottery, you should:
Check your library and ILLiad accounts to be sure you don’t have any overdue books or replacement fees on your account. You are not eligible for the lottery if your library accounts are not in good standing.
Consider whether you’d prefer a senior shelf instead of a carrel. Senior shelves are plentiful, and anyone that requests one will get one. If you really just want a place to store your research material in the library and don’t think you’ll use the desk, please request a shelf instead of a carrel. You can mark this preference on the carrel lottery form.
Consider sharing a carrel with a friend. This is a new option this year. If you have someone you’d like to share with, you BOTH must enter the lottery and name each other as a potential carrel-mate. Sharing is not required, but sharers will be given preference in the lottery, meaning you have a better chance of getting a carrel if you opt for this.
Note: Lottery entries are not timestamped. Those that enter on Monday at 12:01 have the same chances and those that enter on Sunday at 4:59, so please do take the time to clear up your library account and consider your options before filling out the form.
Enter the lottery here. The lottery form will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. You will receive an email regarding lottery results the following week. Good luck! For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Friday, September 11, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Zachary Robinson The Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester
Friday, September 11, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Nuclear fusion promises abundant, inexpensive electricity with no radioactive byproducts or greenhouse gas emissions. The process of harnessing energy from nuclear fusion emulates solar processes, where hydrogen atoms are fused together at high temperature and pressure to form heavier atoms in a process that releases a small amount of energy per fusion reaction. While recent breakthroughs in fusion technology have been made, there are a number of challenges yet to be solved. Some of these challenges are related to the materials needed to build a future reactor. In particular, the initial reactors will likely rely on fusion between two heavy isotopes of hydrogen – deuterium and tritium – to make fusion reactions more probable. Tritium, which has a nucleus of 1 proton and 2 neutrons, is radioactive, and of negligible abundance naturally on earth. Its radioactivity, combined with its small size and affinity for water, make handling tritium especially difficult. In this talk I will summarize LLE’s efforts to study nuclear fusion by a technique called inertial confinement fusion, discuss some of the material-science challenges related to tritium, and describe my own research developing an atomic layer deposition system for tritium permeation and isotope separation applications.
Zachary Robinson is currently a Research Scientist at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He was an Assistant/Associate Professor in the Physics Department at SUNY Brockport from 2015 - 2024. His experimental work as a surface science includes developing a better understanding of synthesis techniques for 2D materials and neuromorphic computing materials. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Chip Eddy’s group at the Naval Research Laboratory from 2012 – 2015, and continues collaborating closely with colleagues from NRL. Zachary did his graduate work in the surface science lab of Dr. Carl Ventrice at SUNY Albany. He has a B.S. in Physics from SUNY Geneseo. Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Consider whether you’d prefer a senior shelf instead of a carrel. Senior shelves are plentiful, and anyone that requests one will get one. If you really just want a place to store your research material in the library and don’t think you’ll use the desk, please request a shelf instead of a carrel. You can mark this preference on the carrel lottery form.
Consider sharing a carrel with a friend. This is a new option this year. If you have someone you’d like to share with, you BOTH must enter the lottery and name each other as a potential carrel-mate. Sharing is not required, but sharers will be given preference in the lottery, meaning you have a better chance of getting a carrel if you opt for this.
Note: Lottery entries are not timestamped. Those that enter on Monday at 12:01 have the same chances and those that enter on Sunday at 4:59, so please do take the time to clear up your library account and consider your options before filling out the form.
Enter the lottery here. The lottery form will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. You will receive an email regarding lottery results the following week. Good luck! For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

"How Does Culture Turn Revolution Into Something People Can See, Learn, and Imitate?"
A Guest Talk by William Allen
Monday, September 14, 2026 11:50 am – 1:10 pm
Film Center Looking at some photographs of war from his book of poems Sevastopol, Allen will consider the role of art, ekphrasis and bearing witness, sensationalism, revolutionary spirit and 'the decisive moment'. Can art or culture change the world? How do we communicate about a moment or a movement lost in history? Where is the poetry in a photograph? These photographs tell the history of war through well-known and unknown photographers, the personal, the poignant, the forgotten, the unseen.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

CCS Bard, Collection Teaching Gallery The CCS Bard Method Camp symposium at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College was conceived as a space for reflection on method rather than outcome and is dedicated to examining the foundational practices that shape curatorial work and its adjacent fields. For this second annual symposium, CCS Bard Method Camp: Attention begins from the intuition that attention has become one of the defining questions of our time. We are constantly told that our attention is under threat, fragmented by technological platforms, information overload, and competing demands. Rather than focusing exclusively on the crisis of attention, we hope to explore attention as a method: how we learn to listen, to observe, to focus, to remain present, and to perceive what might otherwise go unnoticed. We are particularly interested in personal accounts of practice: reflections on habits, protocols, exercises, rituals, doubts, discoveries, and forms of discipline that shape how attention operates in our work. For more information such as speakers, bios, and schedule as it becomes available see here.Sponsored by: Center for Curatorial Studies.
The Life and Times of Drosophila melanogaster: Lessons on Individuality and Aging from the Humble Fruit Fly
Grace McKenzie-Smith, Wesleyan University
Friday, September 18, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Animal behavior unfolds over many timescales, from sub-second motions to circadian cycles to the lifelong process of aging. We study this multi-timescale structure in order to understand the nature and evolution of individuality. Our work approaches this problem from two angles. From one side, we take extremely high resolution (~30 pixels/mm) recordings at high frame rate (100 frames per second) for the entire lifespan (3-8 weeks) of Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. Using deep-learning-based postural estimation and unsupervised machine-learning behavioral classifications, we quantify the hourly, daily, and lifelong patterns of Drosophila behavior. We identify the hour after dawn as a behaviorally unique moment in the circadian pattern of Drosophila, and find that certain grooming behaviors are highly correlated with individuality and lifespan. We also study the behavioral effects of two longevity-promoting drugs, rapamycin and metformin, to determine if treated flies demonstrate youthful behaviors throughout their extended lives. From the other side, we examine the fine structure of behavior evolving on seconds- to hours- long timescales. We find that flies (and other organisms) can be distinguished by idiosyncratic leg sweeps during locomotion, but that a fly’s particular leg pattern is not stable throughout its life, demonstrating enough drift over 4-7 days for a fly to be classified as “completely distinguishable” from its former self. Thus we find that individuality may be lifelong or fleeting, depending on the resolution and timescale at which it is measured.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Bard’s music scholars and historians explore the life, career, and cultural legacy of German composer, conductor, and pianist Friedrich Gernsheim, whose works were largely suppressed by the Nazi regime owing to his Jewish heritage. Panelists will include Gernsheim scholar Enrique Lombrozo, TŌN Music Director Leon Botstein, musicologist Peter Laki, and Amanda Ruppenthal Stein, musicologist at Carroll University and writer/editor for the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at UCLA.
The Gernsheim Festival is graciously underwritten by E&V ProArte.
The TŌN Chamber Players and TŌN pianist Francis Chung-Yang Huang perform two works that composer Friedrich Gernsheim premiered himself in the late 1800s. Piano Quartet No. 3 is an exhilaratingly lyrical work that was first heard in Bonn, Germany in 1883. The Second Piano Quintet was completed in 1896 and is at turns brooding, lyrical, and highly romantic.
The Gernsheim Festival is graciously underwritten by E&V ProArte.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Sunday, September 20, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

GHEA21 is inviting proposals for Online Courses for Spring 2027 and Network Collaborative Courses for Spring and Fall 2027.
Online Courses (OC) are offered by a single institution to students across GHEA21. They take place entirely online and include students from the host institution. Network Collaborative Courses (NCCs) are co-designed and co-taught by faculty across two or more partner institutions. NCCs may entail longer (full-semester) or shorter, more modular (4-6 weeks) cross-network collaboration.
All lead faculty and co-faculty involved in proposed NCCs must be registered in the GHEA21 portal by the time of the proposal submission and submit separate forms designated for NCC lead and co-faculty. Faculty are expected to secure approval from their home institution to offer their proposed courses prior to submitting the form.
GHEA21 courses are, with rare exceptions, taught by regular faculty of the home institution as part of their regular teaching load.
In reviewing proposals, priority will be given to courses that contribute to GHEA21 Academic Certificates in the following ways:
Civic Engagement: Courses that offer more engaged coursework, connect students to local or international communities, or incorporate civic engagement activity.
Human Rights: Proposals for Human Rights courses in all fields are welcome, including courses which develop linkages to human rights organizations or research projects, courses in peacebuilding or mediation, and courses looking at intersections of human rights, science, technology and data.
Sustainability and Climate Solutions: Courses that focus on sustainability and climate solutions in the arts, natural or social sciences, humanities, engineering, business, or law.
Global Humanities: Courses that explore human culture and experience through the arts, humanities, and literature; foster critical understanding of global humanities and contemporary global issues; promote interdisciplinary inquiry across humanities disciplines and traditions; cultivate appreciation of diverse cultural and intellectual perspectives; enhance cross-cultural understanding; and empower students to apply humanities knowledge to complex global challenges through creative and inclusive problem-solving.
Global Studies: Courses that explore transnational or international issues, such as forced migration, global pandemics, or the rise of authoritarianism, or that examine a global issue from a regional–African, Middle Eastern, South American, etc.--perspective.
Technology and Society:* Courses that explore the creation, development, uses, and impacts of technology in historical, cultural, social, economic, or political contexts.
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Uman: In Between presents a solo exhibition exploring over two decades of creative practice by the painter Uman, marking the pathbreaking artist’s most comprehensive survey to date.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Massena Campus Wíhaŋble S’a Center’s Fall Open House at the Massena Campus is a bi-yearly event for all of our Bard community that brings together collaborations with nonhuman beings through hide work, shared meals, and conversation on the land. We are an American Indian-led research center grounded in Lakȟóta knowledge systems, where learning happens through relation, responsibility, and community. These practices form the root of our approach to developing ethical AI tools, grounding rigorous technological research in land-based knowledge.
Our Open House supports our college community by providing structured student training and a site for faculty engagement with Wíhaŋble S’a Center’s ongoing initiatives, including, but not limited to, the development of Lakȟóta Dream Language, a neuro-AI storytelling platform that enables interactive exploration of dream narratives.
This year’s events center on a symposium with scholars and artists who consider present-day realities of technological entwinement and advance new modes of ethical engagement within the context of Indigenous methodologies. The Fall 2026 program features practitioners such as Nathan Young, Antoine Bellamare, Mikhel Proulx, Olivia Camfield, Wills Brewer, Bradley Dry, asinnajaq, and more.

Preston Theater Where does electricity come from? Michinoku Power is a documentary that lays bare the energy crisis in Japan’s Northeast after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, following Gen Z environmental activist Koichiro Shigihara along his exploration of the local landscape of energy production. Shigihara meets experts and residents at various sites across Miyagi Prefecture including a coal-fired power plant, a palm oil power station marketed as “clean” despite worsening climate change, and a mega solar project that places undue burdens on the local community—all built in the wake of the 2011 catastrophe. As his perspective broadens globally, Shigihara joins activists from the Global South to protest overseas fossil fuel projects and takes steps toward building truly sustainable local communities through hands-on action. A US premiere followed by a Q&A with film director Yu Iwasaki and Koichiro Shigihara himself.Sponsored by: Japanese Program, the Environmental Studies Concentration, the Center for Experimental Humanities and the Center for Civic Engagement.

Campus Center North 101 For the past 15 years, some thirty thousand bandits have been terrorizing Nigeria’s countryside. The Trump administration has characterized them as Jihadists, bent on genocide against Christians. Experts on the region, along with the Nigerian government dispute this claim. Last spring, Nigerian journalist Aminu Abubakar and I attempted to find out what their motivations really are. I’ll share our findings and reflect on what they tell us about the roots of Nigerian banditry, and perhaps human violence in general.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Friday, September 25, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 30, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Online Event This fall, we're reading The Human Condition, one of Hannah Arendt's most influential works. First published in 1958, the book asks timeless questions about what it means to live, work, and act together in the modern world. Arendt explores how advances in technology and human knowledge can expand our power while also making it harder to understand—or control—the consequences of our actions. Those questions remain just as urgent today.
Free for HAC members and the Bard community, the Virtual Reading Group is a weekly masterclass with Arendt Center Founder Roger Berkowitz, who personally leads the sessions and engages with participants on Hannah Arendt's work.

Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library Attention seniors! The lottery to secure a carrel in Stevenson Library opens at 12:00 noon on Monday, September 7. Students who are registered for Senior Project I or II and working on a research or writing-based project are eligible. Before entering the lottery, you should:
Check your library and ILLiad accounts to be sure you don’t have any overdue books or replacement fees on your account. You are not eligible for the lottery if your library accounts are not in good standing.
Consider whether you’d prefer a senior shelf instead of a carrel. Senior shelves are plentiful, and anyone that requests one will get one. If you really just want a place to store your research material in the library and don’t think you’ll use the desk, please request a shelf instead of a carrel. You can mark this preference on the carrel lottery form.
Consider sharing a carrel with a friend. This is a new option this year. If you have someone you’d like to share with, you BOTH must enter the lottery and name each other as a potential carrel-mate. Sharing is not required, but sharers will be given preference in the lottery, meaning you have a better chance of getting a carrel if you opt for this.
Note: Lottery entries are not timestamped. Those that enter on Monday at 12:01 have the same chances and those that enter on Sunday at 4:59, so please do take the time to clear up your library account and consider your options before filling out the form.
Enter the lottery here. The lottery form will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. You will receive an email regarding lottery results the following week. Good luck! For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

On this basis, we will investigate the roots of conflicts, past and present, that have threatened Jerusalem’s survival.
Lecture series will be held on the following Mondays at 12:30pm in Bard Hall Sept. 7th, Sept. 21st, Oct. 5th, Oct. 19th, and Nov. 2ndSponsored by: Institute of Advanced Theology.

Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library Attention seniors! The lottery to secure a carrel in Stevenson Library opens at 12:00 noon on Monday, September 7. Students who are registered for Senior Project I or II and working on a research or writing-based project are eligible. Before entering the lottery, you should:
Check your library and ILLiad accounts to be sure you don’t have any overdue books or replacement fees on your account. You are not eligible for the lottery if your library accounts are not in good standing.
Consider whether you’d prefer a senior shelf instead of a carrel. Senior shelves are plentiful, and anyone that requests one will get one. If you really just want a place to store your research material in the library and don’t think you’ll use the desk, please request a shelf instead of a carrel. You can mark this preference on the carrel lottery form.
Consider sharing a carrel with a friend. This is a new option this year. If you have someone you’d like to share with, you BOTH must enter the lottery and name each other as a potential carrel-mate. Sharing is not required, but sharers will be given preference in the lottery, meaning you have a better chance of getting a carrel if you opt for this.
Note: Lottery entries are not timestamped. Those that enter on Monday at 12:01 have the same chances and those that enter on Sunday at 4:59, so please do take the time to clear up your library account and consider your options before filling out the form.
Enter the lottery here. The lottery form will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. You will receive an email regarding lottery results the following week. Good luck! For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

This performance brings that acclaimed partnership to the stage, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the artistry behind How to Turn the Moon live. Moving fluidly between composition and improvisation, Crispell and Sanchez create music of intimacy, intensity, and discovery, demonstrating the boundless expressive possibilities of the piano duo.
Join us after the concert for a wine and cheese reception.
Tickets for the evening performance and reception start at $60 per person. Proceeds benefit Jazz at Bard. For more information, call 845-758-6822.
Bitó Conservatory Building, Performance Space An NEA Jazz Master, 2025 and 2026 Mellon Foundation Jazz Legacy Fellow, Marilyn Crispell has forged a singular musical language shaped by deep lyricism, fearless improvisation, and a lifelong commitment to artistic exploration. Her work with Anthony Braxton, Reggie Workman, Joe Lovano, Wadada Leo Smith, and many others has established her as one of the most influential pianists and composers in contemporary creative music. For more than four decades, Crispell has remained a pioneering force in avant-garde jazz, creating music that is both adventurous and deeply expressive.
Joining her is Bard's own Angelica Sanchez, an acclaimed composer, pianist, and educator whose music seamlessly integrates intricate compositional structures with the spontaneity of improvisation. A leading voice in modern creative music, Sanchez has collaborated with artists including Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Motian, Nicole Mitchell, Joe Lovano, Tim Berne, and Billy Hart. Her recordings have received widespread critical acclaim, with Sparkle Beings named one of The New York Times' Top Ten Jazz Recordings of 2022 and Nighttime Creatures selected among DownBeat's Best Recordings of 2023.
A centerpiece of this collaboration is their celebrated duo recording, How to Turn the Moon (Pyroclastic Records). Recognized in NPR's Critics Poll as one of the Top 50 Recordings of 2020, the album showcases an extraordinary musical dialogue between Crispell and Sanchez. Through expansive improvisations, subtle textures, and profound listening, the recording reveals the deep artistic connection shared by these two remarkable pianists.
This performance brings that acclaimed partnership to the stage, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the artistry behind How to Turn the Moon live.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Library Attention seniors! The lottery to secure a carrel in Stevenson Library opens at 12:00 noon on Monday, September 7. Students who are registered for Senior Project I or II and working on a research or writing-based project are eligible. Before entering the lottery, you should:
Check your library and ILLiad accounts to be sure you don’t have any overdue books or replacement fees on your account. You are not eligible for the lottery if your library accounts are not in good standing.
Consider whether you’d prefer a senior shelf instead of a carrel. Senior shelves are plentiful, and anyone that requests one will get one. If you really just want a place to store your research material in the library and don’t think you’ll use the desk, please request a shelf instead of a carrel. You can mark this preference on the carrel lottery form.
Consider sharing a carrel with a friend. This is a new option this year. If you have someone you’d like to share with, you BOTH must enter the lottery and name each other as a potential carrel-mate. Sharing is not required, but sharers will be given preference in the lottery, meaning you have a better chance of getting a carrel if you opt for this.
Note: Lottery entries are not timestamped. Those that enter on Monday at 12:01 have the same chances and those that enter on Sunday at 4:59, so please do take the time to clear up your library account and consider your options before filling out the form.
Enter the lottery here. The lottery form will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13. You will receive an email regarding lottery results the following week. Good luck! For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].

Zachary Robinson The Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester
Friday, September 11, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Nuclear fusion promises abundant, inexpensive electricity with no radioactive byproducts or greenhouse gas emissions. The process of harnessing energy from nuclear fusion emulates solar processes, where hydrogen atoms are fused together at high temperature and pressure to form heavier atoms in a process that releases a small amount of energy per fusion reaction. While recent breakthroughs in fusion technology have been made, there are a number of challenges yet to be solved. Some of these challenges are related to the materials needed to build a future reactor. In particular, the initial reactors will likely rely on fusion between two heavy isotopes of hydrogen – deuterium and tritium – to make fusion reactions more probable. Tritium, which has a nucleus of 1 proton and 2 neutrons, is radioactive, and of negligible abundance naturally on earth. Its radioactivity, combined with its small size and affinity for water, make handling tritium especially difficult. In this talk I will summarize LLE’s efforts to study nuclear fusion by a technique called inertial confinement fusion, discuss some of the material-science challenges related to tritium, and describe my own research developing an atomic layer deposition system for tritium permeation and isotope separation applications.
Zachary Robinson is currently a Research Scientist at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He was an Assistant/Associate Professor in the Physics Department at SUNY Brockport from 2015 - 2024. His experimental work as a surface science includes developing a better understanding of synthesis techniques for 2D materials and neuromorphic computing materials. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Chip Eddy’s group at the Naval Research Laboratory from 2012 – 2015, and continues collaborating closely with colleagues from NRL. Zachary did his graduate work in the surface science lab of Dr. Carl Ventrice at SUNY Albany. He has a B.S. in Physics from SUNY Geneseo. Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Saturday, September 12, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

"How Does Culture Turn Revolution Into Something People Can See, Learn, and Imitate?"
A Guest Talk by William Allen
Monday, September 14, 2026 11:50 am – 1:10 pm
Film Center Looking at some photographs of war from his book of poems Sevastopol, Allen will consider the role of art, ekphrasis and bearing witness, sensationalism, revolutionary spirit and 'the decisive moment'. Can art or culture change the world? How do we communicate about a moment or a movement lost in history? Where is the poetry in a photograph? These photographs tell the history of war through well-known and unknown photographers, the personal, the poignant, the forgotten, the unseen.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Thursday, September 17, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

CCS Bard, Collection Teaching Gallery The CCS Bard Method Camp symposium at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College was conceived as a space for reflection on method rather than outcome and is dedicated to examining the foundational practices that shape curatorial work and its adjacent fields. For this second annual symposium, CCS Bard Method Camp: Attention begins from the intuition that attention has become one of the defining questions of our time. We are constantly told that our attention is under threat, fragmented by technological platforms, information overload, and competing demands. Rather than focusing exclusively on the crisis of attention, we hope to explore attention as a method: how we learn to listen, to observe, to focus, to remain present, and to perceive what might otherwise go unnoticed. We are particularly interested in personal accounts of practice: reflections on habits, protocols, exercises, rituals, doubts, discoveries, and forms of discipline that shape how attention operates in our work.

The Life and Times of Drosophila melanogaster: Lessons on Individuality and Aging from the Humble Fruit Fly
Grace McKenzie-Smith, Wesleyan University
Friday, September 18, 2026 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Animal behavior unfolds over many timescales, from sub-second motions to circadian cycles to the lifelong process of aging. We study this multi-timescale structure in order to understand the nature and evolution of individuality. Our work approaches this problem from two angles. From one side, we take extremely high resolution (~30 pixels/mm) recordings at high frame rate (100 frames per second) for the entire lifespan (3-8 weeks) of Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. Using deep-learning-based postural estimation and unsupervised machine-learning behavioral classifications, we quantify the hourly, daily, and lifelong patterns of Drosophila behavior. We identify the hour after dawn as a behaviorally unique moment in the circadian pattern of Drosophila, and find that certain grooming behaviors are highly correlated with individuality and lifespan. We also study the behavioral effects of two longevity-promoting drugs, rapamycin and metformin, to determine if treated flies demonstrate youthful behaviors throughout their extended lives. From the other side, we examine the fine structure of behavior evolving on seconds- to hours- long timescales. We find that flies (and other organisms) can be distinguished by idiosyncratic leg sweeps during locomotion, but that a fly’s particular leg pattern is not stable throughout its life, demonstrating enough drift over 4-7 days for a fly to be classified as “completely distinguishable” from its former self. Thus we find that individuality may be lifelong or fleeting, depending on the resolution and timescale at which it is measured.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

GHEA21 is inviting proposals for Online Courses for Spring 2027 and Network Collaborative Courses for Spring and Fall 2027.
Online Courses (OC) are offered by a single institution to students across GHEA21. They take place entirely online and include students from the host institution. Network Collaborative Courses (NCCs) are co-designed and co-taught by faculty across two or more partner institutions. NCCs may entail longer (full-semester) or shorter, more modular (4-6 weeks) cross-network collaboration.
All lead faculty and co-faculty involved in proposed NCCs must be registered in the GHEA21 portal by the time of the proposal submission and submit separate forms designated for NCC lead and co-faculty. Faculty are expected to secure approval from their home institution to offer their proposed courses prior to submitting the form.
GHEA21 courses are, with rare exceptions, taught by regular faculty of the home institution as part of their regular teaching load.
In reviewing proposals, priority will be given to courses that contribute to GHEA21 Academic Certificates in the following ways:
Civic Engagement: Courses that offer more engaged coursework, connect students to local or international communities, or incorporate civic engagement activity.
Human Rights: Proposals for Human Rights courses in all fields are welcome, including courses which develop linkages to human rights organizations or research projects, courses in peacebuilding or mediation, and courses looking at intersections of human rights, science, technology and data.
Sustainability and Climate Solutions: Courses that focus on sustainability and climate solutions in the arts, natural or social sciences, humanities, engineering, business, or law.
Global Humanities: Courses that explore human culture and experience through the arts, humanities, and literature; foster critical understanding of global humanities and contemporary global issues; promote interdisciplinary inquiry across humanities disciplines and traditions; cultivate appreciation of diverse cultural and intellectual perspectives; enhance cross-cultural understanding; and empower students to apply humanities knowledge to complex global challenges through creative and inclusive problem-solving.
Global Studies: Courses that explore transnational or international issues, such as forced migration, global pandemics, or the rise of authoritarianism, or that examine a global issue from a regional–African, Middle Eastern, South American, etc.--perspective.
Technology and Society:* Courses that explore the creation, development, uses, and impacts of technology in historical, cultural, social, economic, or political contexts.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.

Massena Campus Wíhaŋble S’a Center’s Fall Open House at the Massena Campus is a bi-yearly event for all of our Bard community that brings together collaborations with nonhuman beings through hide work, shared meals, and conversation on the land. We are an American Indian-led research center grounded in Lakȟóta knowledge systems, where learning happens through relation, responsibility, and community. These practices form the root of our approach to developing ethical AI tools, grounding rigorous technological research in land-based knowledge.
Our Open House supports our college community by providing structured student training and a site for faculty engagement with Wíhaŋble S’a Center’s ongoing initiatives, including, but not limited to, the development of Lakȟóta Dream Language, a neuro-AI storytelling platform that enables interactive exploration of dream narratives.
This year’s events center on a symposium with scholars and artists who consider present-day realities of technological entwinement and advance new modes of ethical engagement within the context of Indigenous methodologies. The Fall 2026 program features practitioners such as Nathan Young, Antoine Bellamare, Mikhel Proulx, Olivia Camfield, Wills Brewer, Bradley Dry, asinnajaq, and more.

Preston Theater Where does electricity come from? Michinoku Power is a documentary that lays bare the energy crisis in Japan’s Northeast after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, following Gen Z environmental activist Koichiro Shigihara along his exploration of the local landscape of energy production. Shigihara meets experts and residents at various sites across Miyagi Prefecture including a coal-fired power plant, a palm oil power station marketed as “clean” despite worsening climate change, and a mega solar project that places undue burdens on the local community—all built in the wake of the 2011 catastrophe. As his perspective broadens globally, Shigihara joins activists from the Global South to protest overseas fossil fuel projects and takes steps toward building truly sustainable local communities through hands-on action. A US premiere followed by a Q&A with film director Yu Iwasaki and Koichiro Shigihara himself.Sponsored by: Japanese Program, the Environmental Studies Concentration, the Center for Experimental Humanities and the Center for Civic Engagement.

Campus Center North 101 For the past 15 years, some thirty thousand bandits have been terrorizing Nigeria’s countryside. The Trump administration has characterized them as Jihadists, bent on genocide against Christians. Experts on the region, along with the Nigerian government dispute this claim. Last spring, Nigerian journalist Aminu Abubakar and I attempted to find out what their motivations really are. I’ll share our findings and reflect on what they tell us about the roots of Nigerian banditry, and perhaps human violence in general.

Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz
Wednesday, September 30, 2026 11 am – 5 pm
Hessel Museum of Art, CCS Bard Replica of a Chip: The Weaving Technology of Marilou Schultz marks the first survey of acclaimed Navajo/Diné weaver and mathematics educator Marilou Schultz. On view through November 29, 2026, the exhibition positions Schultz as an innovator whose work across culture and industry has influenced the practices of art, Navajo weaving, and computer architecture over a 65-year career. Replica of a Chip traces the full arc of Schultz’s artistic practice, demonstrating how she has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimentation within Navajo weaving, first through teaching herself new weaving styles, dyes, and techniques and later, using it as a means to reflect on the digital technologies shaping contemporary culture and society—from early computer microprocessors to stock market tickers and other digital data.
The exhibition is curated by Candice Hopkins (citizen of Carcross/Tagish First Nation, CCS Bard ‘03), Executive Director and Chief Curator of Forge Project and Fellow in Indigenous Art History and Curatorial Studies at CCS Bard.

CCS Bard Galleries Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.
Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists. Organized by Kelly Taxter (CCS ‘03) with artist Amy Sillman, Betty Parsons: An Expanded World features approximately 80 works spanning painting, sculpture, and works on paper, tracing Parsons’ voluminous output as she evolved from a young academic painter to a mature abstractionist over a six-decade career. A revelatory and newly commissioned, multi-channel film by G. Anthony Svatek and Kaija Siirala will bring to life the largely unknown history of the Betty Parsons Gallery.
