Studio Models, Artistic Innovation, and the Moscow Avant-Garde

Wednesday, September 17, 2025
5:30–7 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 102
In early twentieth-century Moscow, paintings of female models by avant-garde artists became notorious. Shocking viewers with their boldness, some were even banned from exhibition. Where did pictures like this come from? Why did they cause such an uproar? Margaret Samu’s talk will explore the origin of these scandals by examining representations of studio models working in Saint Petersburg and Moscow from the nineteenth century through 1910s. Her talk will highlight the impact of informal drawing circles and private life classes, which emphasized female figure studies, on artistic innovation.Sponsored by: REAS, the Dean's Office, and the L&L Division.

A Reading with Billie Chernicoff and Lindsay Hill

The Return of Two Bardians

Monday, September 22, 2025
6 pm

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
On Monday, September 22nd at 6pm in the László Z. Bitó ’60 Auditorium, Reem-Kayden Center (RKC), writers and Bard alumni Lindsay Hill and Billie Chernicoff will read from their work. The reading is free and open to the student body. 

Nationally celebrated writer Lindsay Hill — who has expanded the boundaries of flash-fiction to novel proportions — is returning after 12 years to Bard College on Monday, September 22nd. Coming off a west-coast speaking tour of Spokane, Portland, and Seattle, the L.A.-based Hill is circling back in support of his latest book, Tidal Lock, which is published by the independent press McPherson & Company, and which has been critically hailed as “complex, mysterious, intriguing” and “the best, most inventive novel I’ve read in ages.” The area holds a special fascination for the San Francisco-native who attended Bard College, and whose latest protagonist is named “Olana” after Frederick Church’s iconic house. Hill’s first novel, Sea of Hooks, won the PEN USA Fiction Award, among other laurels, and Tidal Lock is a finalist for two more.

Hill is being joined by fellow Bard-alum Billie Chernicoff—"A poet of astonishing lyricism and elemental beauty." Chernicoff was born in Detroit and educated at Bard College. Among her books and chapbooks of poetry are The Red Dress, The Pleasures, and Amoretti. Chernicoff’s recent fifth collection of acclaimed lyrical poetry is Minor Secrets from Black Square Editions. For several years she co-edited The Doris, a magazine of new writing and translation, and in 2021 she published a print journal called Salt.  Sponsored by: Written Arts Program.

Reckoning with Ghosts: The Iran-Iraq War in Persian and Arabic Fiction Today

Tuesday, September 23, 2025
5:30–7 pm

CCS Classroom
Although sometimes called “a forgotten war” by pundits, the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) was the longest two-state war of the 20th century. Since 1980, for a variety of reasons, writers, filmmakers, and visual artists from both countries have taken it up in their works. This talk explains why, three and half decades after its conclusion, this war remains a major topic for writers of Persian and Arabic fiction, and how Iranian and Iraqi writers have transformed the literatures of this war from authoritarian propaganda into literatures of mourning and resistance, connecting the war's afterlives to some of the most salient social and political challenges the two countries face today. 
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, Literature program, and the Human Rights Project. It is organized in conjunction with All Manner of Experiments: Legacies of the Baghdad Modern Art Group at the Hessel Museum. 
Sponsored by: Middle Eastern Studies, the Center for Curatorial Studies, Literature program, and the Human Rights Project.

Mapping Change through the Mushroom Imagination: A Conversation with Mar Gómez Glez

Monday, September 29, 2025
1:30–3 pm

Online Event
Join us for an event featuring Mar Gómez Glez—novelist, playwright, essayist, and regular contributor to "El País", one of Spain’s leading newspapers. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Gómez Glez. Drawing from her writing, where the motif of the mushroom becomes a vehicle to imagine metamorphosis, resilience, and interconnection, we will explore storytelling through literature and the arts as a means to reshape how we relate to each other and to our environment.

This dialogue is part of the "A Cartography for the Future" online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it). From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.

Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies and Experimental Humanities. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community.

To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected].Sponsored by: Experimental Humanities, LAIS, and Spanish Studies present.

Studio Models, Artistic Innovation, and the Moscow Avant-Garde

Wednesday, September 17, 2025
5:30–7 pm

Olin Humanities, Room 102
In early twentieth-century Moscow, paintings of female models by avant-garde artists became notorious. Shocking viewers with their boldness, some were even banned from exhibition. Where did pictures like this come from? Why did they cause such an uproar? Margaret Samu’s talk will explore the origin of these scandals by examining representations of studio models working in Saint Petersburg and Moscow from the nineteenth century through 1910s. Her talk will highlight the impact of informal drawing circles and private life classes, which emphasized female figure studies, on artistic innovation.Sponsored by: REAS, the Dean's Office, and the L&L Division.

A Reading with Billie Chernicoff and Lindsay Hill

The Return of Two Bardians

Monday, September 22, 2025
6 pm

Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
On Monday, September 22nd at 6pm in the László Z. Bitó ’60 Auditorium, Reem-Kayden Center (RKC), writers and Bard alumni Lindsay Hill and Billie Chernicoff will read from their work. The reading is free and open to the student body. 

Nationally celebrated writer Lindsay Hill — who has expanded the boundaries of flash-fiction to novel proportions — is returning after 12 years to Bard College on Monday, September 22nd. Coming off a west-coast speaking tour of Spokane, Portland, and Seattle, the L.A.-based Hill is circling back in support of his latest book, Tidal Lock, which is published by the independent press McPherson & Company, and which has been critically hailed as “complex, mysterious, intriguing” and “the best, most inventive novel I’ve read in ages.” The area holds a special fascination for the San Francisco-native who attended Bard College, and whose latest protagonist is named “Olana” after Frederick Church’s iconic house. Hill’s first novel, Sea of Hooks, won the PEN USA Fiction Award, among other laurels, and Tidal Lock is a finalist for two more.

Hill is being joined by fellow Bard-alum Billie Chernicoff—"A poet of astonishing lyricism and elemental beauty." Chernicoff was born in Detroit and educated at Bard College. Among her books and chapbooks of poetry are The Red Dress, The Pleasures, and Amoretti. Chernicoff’s recent fifth collection of acclaimed lyrical poetry is Minor Secrets from Black Square Editions. For several years she co-edited The Doris, a magazine of new writing and translation, and in 2021 she published a print journal called Salt.  Sponsored by: Written Arts Program.

Reckoning with Ghosts: The Iran-Iraq War in Persian and Arabic Fiction Today

Tuesday, September 23, 2025
5:30–7 pm

CCS Classroom
Although sometimes called “a forgotten war” by pundits, the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) was the longest two-state war of the 20th century. Since 1980, for a variety of reasons, writers, filmmakers, and visual artists from both countries have taken it up in their works. This talk explains why, three and half decades after its conclusion, this war remains a major topic for writers of Persian and Arabic fiction, and how Iranian and Iraqi writers have transformed the literatures of this war from authoritarian propaganda into literatures of mourning and resistance, connecting the war's afterlives to some of the most salient social and political challenges the two countries face today. 
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Curatorial Studies, Literature program, and the Human Rights Project. It is organized in conjunction with All Manner of Experiments: Legacies of the Baghdad Modern Art Group at the Hessel Museum. 
Sponsored by: Middle Eastern Studies, the Center for Curatorial Studies, Literature program, and the Human Rights Project.

Mapping Change through the Mushroom Imagination: A Conversation with Mar Gómez Glez

Monday, September 29, 2025
1:30–3 pm

Online Event
Join us for an event featuring Mar Gómez Glez—novelist, playwright, essayist, and regular contributor to "El País", one of Spain’s leading newspapers. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Gómez Glez. Drawing from her writing, where the motif of the mushroom becomes a vehicle to imagine metamorphosis, resilience, and interconnection, we will explore storytelling through literature and the arts as a means to reshape how we relate to each other and to our environment.

This dialogue is part of the "A Cartography for the Future" online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it). From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.

Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies and Experimental Humanities. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community.

To RSVP and to access relevant reading materials for this event, please contact Prof. López-Gay at [email protected].Sponsored by: Experimental Humanities, LAIS, and Spanish Studies present.

For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].
