Spillover
2024 Graduate Student Curated Exhibitions
Wednesday, May 1, 2024
11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of ArtSpillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years.

Life, Death, Tragedy in Israel and Palestine: An Evening with Nathan Thrall
Monday, May 6, 2024
7 pm
Jägerstraße 54, 10117 BerlinFor many years, Nathan Thrall's writing on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been bracing, enlightening, and urgent—not to mention essential. His reporting and analysis have penetrated deeply into the histories and psyches of both peoples, while not shying away from the complicated reality on the ground, where Thrall has extensive sources and contacts.
The Financial Times called Thrall “one of the best-informed and most trenchant observers of the conflict," while Time declared him “an American analyst with a severe allergy to conventional wisdom.” In 2023, Thrall published A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy, which was immediately the subject of laudatory reviews and made several end-of- year best book lists. (“A powerful evocation of a two-tiered society," The New Yorker wrote: “A vital, important book," declared the Washington Post.)
In conversation with Joshua Yaffa, a writer for The New Yorker, Thrall will share his expertise on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a time of heightened violence and suffering, relaying both the searing personal stories he has collected and also his insight into the larger dynamics at play in the region. The conversation will be frank and provocative, but, like Thrall's writings, rigorously fact-based and rooted in a deep knowledge of history and politics. This is a rare opportunity to see a writer of Thrall's caliber hold forth on some of the most pressing questions of the day in a live setting.
This event will be held off-campus at Jägerstraße 54, 10117 Berlin. Please RSVP through this Google Form.
Nathan Thrall is the author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy, which was named a best book of 2023 by The New Yorker, Time, The Economist, The New Republic, and the Financial Times, and selected as a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice. His previous book, The Only Language They Understand: Forcing Compromise in Israel and Palestine, was published in 2017. His articles and essays have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, the London Review of Books, and The New York Review of Books and have been translated into more than a dozen languages. Thrall’s writing has been cited in the United Nations Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Council, as well as in reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. He spent a decade at the International Crisis Group, where he was director of the Arab-Israeli Project, and has taught at Bard College.
Joshua Yaffa is a contributing writer for The New Yorker. He is also the author of Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin's Russia, which won the Orwell Prize in 2021. He has also written for Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, National Geographic, and other publications. He is currently the inaugural writer-in-residence at Bard College Berlin and was previously a fellow at The American Academy in Berlin.

Open Classroom: Dystopian Fiction
Tuesday, May 7, 2024
7–8:30 pm
P24 Conference Room (Platanenstr. 24, 13156 Berlin)Open Classroom is a student-led initiative held on Tuesdays that allows neighbors to experience university-level courses taught at BCB. The initiative seeks to foster a dialogue between students and the broader Pankow community. This semester, students will share their knowledge from the course Dystopian Fiction, an undergraduate-level course taught at Bard College Berlin.
Dystopian fiction often involves bleak, post-apocalyptic futures scarred by environmental disaster, societal collapse, totalitarian control or technological subjugation. But, more than simply presenting depressing images, dystopian fiction also offers fruitful ground for questioning today’s world and re-envisioning a more just society. Through a mix of novels, films and short stories, we’ll grapple with climate change, artificial intelligence, authoritarianism and migration and explore questions of freedom, belonging, care and how to find hope in the face of overwhelming crisis. A central focus of the course will be investigating what role fiction can play in helping us imagine and shape the future.

Foragers: A Film by Jumana Manna
Introduced by Adam HajYahia and Leil Mortada
Tuesday, May 7, 2024
7 pm
Weis CinemaIntroduction & Contextualization by Adam HajYahia (CHRA assistant curator) and Leil Mortada (CHRA student), sponsored by Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuck, as a part of HR 353: water-bodies : confluences, deltas, gulfs with Professor Juliana Steiner
Foragers depicts the dramas around the practice of foraging for wild edible plants in Palestine/Israel with wry humor and a meditative pace. Shot in the Golan Heights, the Galilee and Jerusalem, it employs fiction, documentary and archival footage to portray the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The restrictions prohibit the collection of the artichoke-like ’akkoub and za’atar (thyme), and have resulted in fines and trials for hundreds caught collecting these native plants. For Palestinians, these laws constitute an ecological veil for legislation that further alienates them from their land while Israeli state representatives insist on their scientific expertise and duty to protect. Following the plants from the wild to the kitchen, from the chases between the foragers and the nature patrol, to courtroom defenses, Foragers captures the joy and knowledge embodied in these traditions alongside their resilience to the prohibitive law. By reframing the terms and constraints of preservation, the film raises questions around the politics of extinction, namely who determines what is made extinct and what gets to live on.

His reporting and analysis have penetrated deeply into the histories and psyches of both peoples, while not shying away from the complicated reality on the ground, where Thrall has extensive sources and contacts.
The Financial Times called Thrall “one of the best-informed and most trenchant observers of the conflict," while Time declared him “an American analyst with a severe allergy to conventional wisdom.” In 2023, Thrall published A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy, which was immediately the subject of laudatory reviews and made several end-of- year best book lists. (“A powerful evocation of a two-tiered society," The New Yorker wrote: “A vital, important book," declared the Washington Post.)
In conversation with Joshua Yaffa, a writer for The New Yorker, Thrall will share his expertise on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at a time of heightened violence and suffering, relaying both the searing personal stories he has collected and also his insight into the larger dynamics at play in the region. The conversation will be frank and provocative, but, like Thrall's writings, rigorously fact-based and rooted in a deep knowledge of history and politics. This is a rare opportunity to see a writer of Thrall's caliber hold forth on some of the most pressing questions of the day in a live setting.
This event will be held at medico international e.V. (Lindleystraße 15, 60314 Frankfurt am Main). Please RSVP through this Google Form.
Nathan Thrall is the author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy, which was named a best book of 2023 by The New Yorker, Time, The Economist, The New Republic, and the Financial Times, and selected as a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice. His previous book, The Only Language They Understand: Forcing Compromise in Israel and Palestine, was published in 2017. His articles and essays have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, the London Review of Books, and The New York Review of Books and have been translated into more than a dozen languages. Thrall’s writing has been cited in the United Nations Security Council, General Assembly, and Human Rights Council, as well as in reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. He spent a decade at the International Crisis Group, where he was director of the Arab-Israeli Project, and has taught at Bard College.
Joshua Yaffa is a contributing writer for The New Yorker. He is also the author of Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin's Russia, which won the Orwell Prize in 2021. He has also written for Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, National Geographic, and other publications. He is currently the inaugural writer-in-residence at Bard College Berlin and was previously a fellow at The American Academy in Berlin.

Spillover
2024 Graduate Student Curated Exhibitions
Wednesday, May 8, 2024
11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of ArtSpillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years.

ABOUT THE PLAY: Yenifer is a young lady who dreams of becoming a musician, and is preparing for an audition at the Bronx Conservatory of the Arts. But she is plagued by fears and insecurities, so she is suddenly transported to a shadowy world populated by monsters generated by herself. A pilgrim in this limbo comes to her aid, none other than the late Arsenio Rodríguez, the legendary innovator of Cuban son. He will try to guide Yenifer towards a new understanding of herself. The means to achieve this: the vibrant music of the heritage they share in common.
ARSENIO! A work that pays tribute to the life and music of Arsenio Rodríguez, the talented Afro-Cuban composer also known as El Ciego Maravilloso. His innovations with Cuban son initiated a radical change in tropical music of the 1950s and, throughout, gave rise to new styles including the creation of salsa in the South Bronx. The work is the third in a trilogy titled “Between Two Worlds,” which has explored cultural and spiritual themes related to Latin American music. The first is based on cumbia (Colombia), and the second on the songs of Pedro Infante (Mexico).

Spillover
2024 Graduate Student Curated Exhibitions
Sunday, May 19, 2024
11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of ArtSpillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years.

Spillover
2024 Graduate Student Curated Exhibitions
Wednesday, May 22, 2024
11 am – 5 pm
CCS Bard Hessel Museum of ArtSpillover is a collection of eleven curatorial projects that, together, create a sequence of distinct but converging artistic encounters. Rather than coalescing around a common theme, our projects connect through their leaking points: our shared commitment to experimental art forms, ephemeral materials, and affective atmospheres.
A spillover is an overflow, an indication of excess, something that spreads, often uncontrollably. Although these exhibitions emerge from disparate research interests and perspectives, they build upon a series of collective debates and conversations. As such, they cannot help but bleed outward, carrying with them the ideas that have acted upon us over the past two years.
