From Iran: A Visual Testimony

15 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
11 Divinity Ave
Cambridge
Ongoing through Sun., Mar. 21, 2027, 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

30 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sat., May 30, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

30 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sat., May 30, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

In Memory of Gustavo Gutiérrez: 50 years of Liberation Theology

30 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Harvard Divinity School Library
45 Francis Ave
Cambridge
Sat., May 30, 2026

An exhibit focused on the life and work of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century, Gustavo Gutiérrez, and his role in the founding and development of liberation theology.

Liberation theology is a religious, social, and political movement originating in Latin America in the mid-twentieth century. Inspired by the Gospels, liberation theology stands in solidarity with those in the margins of society and strives to eradicate all forms of oppression. Ultimately, liberation theology’s goal is that all of us, but especially the poor, can flourish in communion with God and the neighbor. Gustavo Gutiérrez’s magnum opus, Teología de la liberación (1971), gave name and its foundational articulation to this theological tradition.

Harvard Museum of Natural History

Cambridge
Sat., May 30, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., June 1, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

02 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Tue., June 2, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Tue., June 2, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Tue., June 2, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Only The Beginning: Sustainable Strategies For Tackling Loneliness

02 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Tue., June 2, 2026, 9 – 10 a.m.

When the UK Prime Minister launched the world’s first ever government-level loneliness strategy in 2018, she said it was ‘only the beginning of delivering a long and far reaching social change.’ That day, campaigners who had pushed the government to take action were thrilled – and excited about the prospect of helping to make its promise real. And yet, just a few short years later, the UK’s leadership on loneliness had stalled: by 2025, several key organizations driving impact had shuttered; national philanthropies that had sought to tackle loneliness for a decade had shifted their priorities; and a movement that had been in the ascendency fragmented as the world moved on to apparently more urgent issues.

This webinar on June 2 at 9:00 AM ET / 2:00 PM BST, will bring together key leaders in the UK’s efforts to reduce loneliness with Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center leaders, to share learning from the international experience of working on loneliness, which has been labelled ‘one of the great challenges of our time.’ It will look at multifactorial questions including the importance of working within historical and policy contexts, the role of philanthropy and academia, the importance of community action and storytelling, political leadership, and cross-sector collaboration. That learning from Alex Smith’s recent HKS Shorenstein Center report will provide a framework for a wide-ranging conversation about what’s possible in social change more broadly in times of challenge and change. This webinar is co-hosted with The Jo Cox Foundation.

Speakers include:

Liz Schwartz, HKS Shorenstein Center (Moderator)
Tracey Crouch, Former UK Minister for Loneliness
Alex Smith, HKS Shorenstein Fellow
Olivia Field, CEO, Jo Cox Foundation
Trey Leveque, Former Engagement Chief of Staff to Vivek Murthy, Social Connection Fellow, HKS MPP Alum

Harvard Museum of Natural History

Cambridge
Tue., June 2, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., June 2, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

02 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Tue., June 2, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

03 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 3, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

metaLAB June Work-share: Kim Albrecht & Ilan Manouach

Cambridge
Wed., June 3, 2026, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m.

Cryptocompetence (Manouach)
We've been taught to fear the black box, to demand that every system open itself to inspection, as though understanding were the price of legitimacy and transparency the cure for everything we cannot see. But the most consequential systems of our age, from protein folding to the markets to the cells that keep us alive, already produce results no one fully comprehends. This talk is an invitation to stay inside that condition rather than escape it.

Segments (Albrecht)
One way to understand reality is to divide it, slicing broad categories into ever finer pieces. Science has pursued this method for centuries, and so has commerce, where humans are turned into market segments. The shadowy industry of data brokers has refined this technique for decades, largely out of public view. This talk investigates the hidden structures of data brokerage through visualization, observing the observers and making the obscurity visible.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

04 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 4, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

04 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 4, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 4, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

Cambridge
Thu., June 4, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Harvard Museum of Natural History

Cambridge
Thu., June 4, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 5, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
11 Divinity Ave
Cambridge
Fri., June 5, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 5, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Declaring independence was just the first step towards forming the United States. Seeking to replace the weak Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government, a 1787 convention produced a constitution that provoked sharp debate over its ratification by the states. This exhibition features one of the early printings through which the text of the Constitution was presented to the public, as well as the most influential work of the ratification debate, "The Federalist."

Harvard and the American Revolution

05 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., June 5, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Eve Fowler: words doing as they want to do

05 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Johnson-Kulukundis Family Gallery, Byerly Hall
8 Garden St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 5, 2026, 12 – 4:45 p.m.

‘words doing as they want to do’ builds on Eve Fowler’s decades-long practice at the intersection of language, poetry, and visual art. Drawing from sustained engagement with feminist texts and the visual potential of language, the exhibition presents new paintings alongside a zine-style artist book.

Fowler’s text-based works explore the materiality and rhythm of language through bold, abstract compositions. The artist book gathers photographs made over several decades in collaboration with artists, filmmakers, and curators, forming a visual diary that bridges personal archive and collective memory. Accessible and intimate, the book functions both as a standalone work and a companion to the paintings.

While a Radcliffe fellow in 2018–2019, Fowler developed the ten-part film with it which it as if it is to be, titled after Gertrude Stein and focused on women’s artmaking. Building on this work and her photographic practice, the exhibition offers an entry into the lives and archives of queer, trans, and women artists from the twentieth century to today.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

06 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sat., June 6, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

06 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sat., June 6, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Mon., June 8, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Mon., June 8, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Mon., June 8, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., June 8, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

09 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Tue., June 9, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Combining Evidence from Observational Studies and Population Surveys to Better Predict Cardiovascular Disease Risk

09 Jun 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Tue., June 9, 2026, 12 – 1 p.m.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Although CVD mortality declined substantially over the past five decades, progress in the United States has slowed since 2010. Reviving these gains will require more effective implementation of prevention strategies, including improved methods for identifying individuals at highest risk.

In this presentation, Dr. Goodarz Danaei will discuss emerging approaches to cardiovascular risk prediction and prevention, including the use of causal inference methods and nationally representative data to develop more accurate risk models. He will explore the limitations of existing prediction tools, which often rely on outdated cohort studies or nonrepresentative electronic medical record data, and present new research aimed at improving population-level prevention strategies in the United States and globally.

This webinar is free and open to the public and will include time for audience Q&A.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes.

Wed., June 10, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Cambridge
Wed., June 10, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., June 10, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

11 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 11, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

11 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 11, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

12 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 12, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 12, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Cambridge
Fri., June 12, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Fri., June 12, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

12 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., June 12, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Science Spotlights: Building a Planet from the Inside Out
Meet up-and-coming scientists and learn about questions at the forefront of research today in this series of short talks.

Speaker: Jack Sheehan, Graduate Student in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, Fischer Group

You may think you know the Earth well—after all, you've spent your whole life on it! However, you’ve only experienced a tiny fraction of our planet. Nearly 99% of the Earth lies hidden deep beneath our feet, in the mantle and core. This unseen interior drives everything from plate tectonics to the Northern Lights. But how can we study a place we can never see? Join Harvard scientist Jack Sheehan to discover how researchers recreate the extreme conditions of Earth’s interior in the lab to uncover how our planet formed and continues to evolve.

Harvard Museum of Natural History, 26 Oxford Street, Classroom B, Third Floor

From Iran: A Visual Testimony

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
11 Divinity Ave
Cambridge
Sun., June 14, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Cambridge
Sun., June 14, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

15 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Mon., June 15, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

15 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Mon., June 15, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Mon., June 15, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., June 15, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

When you think of the word “Celtic,” what do you picture? Perhaps intricate knotwork designs, legendary warriors, or mystical spirituality? Maybe even a certain NBA team? Celtic Art Across the Ages will introduce visitors to the worlds of the various peoples who were historically labeled “Celts”—through the objects they created, the interactions they had across the European continent, and the myths that shaped their legacy, then as now. The exhibition stretches from 800 BCE through today, showcasing the craftsmanship, innovation, cultural connections, and multilayered reception that characterized Celtic art in Europe and beyond.

Harvard and the American Revolution

16 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., June 16, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

17 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 17, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

17 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 17, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Wed., June 17, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., June 17, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Rubies

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 18, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

18 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Thu., June 18, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 19, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 19, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 19, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Cambridge
Fri., June 19, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

21 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sun., June 21, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

21 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sun., June 21, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology

Cambridge
Sun., June 21, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Cambridge
Sun., June 21, 2026, 7:30 – 10:30 p.m.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Mon., June 22, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today.

Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., June 22, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Harvard and the American Revolution

23 Jun 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., June 23, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

24 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 24, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

24 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 24, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Wed., June 24, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Wed., June 24, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Black Swan: A New Dance Thriller

American Repertory Theater
64 Brattle St.
Cambridge
Thu., June 25, 2026, 7:30 – 10:30 p.m.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

26 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 26, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

26 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 26, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 26, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
11 Divinity Ave
Cambridge
Fri., June 26, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Rubies

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Fri., June 26, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Declaring independence was just the first step towards forming the United States. Seeking to replace the weak Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government, a 1787 convention produced a constitution that provoked sharp debate over its ratification by the states. This exhibition features one of the early printings through which the text of the Constitution was presented to the public, as well as the most influential work of the ratification debate, "The Federalist."

28 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology
11 Divinity Ave
Cambridge
Sun., June 28, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Rubies

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Sun., June 28, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Sun., June 28, 2026, 7:30 – 10:30 p.m.

Tony Award winner Sonya Tayeh (Gatsby at A.R.T., Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Broadway) returns to the A.R.T. to bring the Academy Award-nominated psychological thriller Black Swan to the stage. Pressure builds, boundaries blur, and reality begins to slip as Nina strives to rise from the ballet corps to the lead role in Swan Lake. This bold new musical adaptation is a haunting exploration of ambition, power, and the cost of perfection.

Performed with Tayeh’s high-octane, genre-breaking choreography, Black Swan features a contemporary book by Guggenheim Fellow Jen Silverman and a score by Obie Award winner Dave Malloy that blends the melodies of Tchaikovsky with a throbbing electronic soundscape.

Black Swan is presented by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

Cambridge
Mon., June 29, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

29 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Mon., June 29, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Mon., June 29, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Wed., July 1, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Harvard Museum of Natural History

Cambridge
Wed., July 1, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

01 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Wed., July 1, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

02 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Thu., July 2, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Fri., July 3, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Declaring independence was just the first step towards forming the United States. Seeking to replace the weak Articles of Confederation with a stronger central government, a 1787 convention produced a constitution that provoked sharp debate over its ratification by the states. This exhibition features one of the early printings through which the text of the Constitution was presented to the public, as well as the most influential work of the ratification debate, "The Federalist."

Harvard and the American Revolution

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library

Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Fri., July 3, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

04 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sat., July 4, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

04 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Sat., July 4, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

07 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Tue., July 7, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

07 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Tue., July 7, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Cambridge
Tue., July 7, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Tue., July 7, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

07 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Tue., July 7, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Lia and William Poorvu Gallery, Schlesinger Library
3 James St.
Cambridge
Thu., July 9, 2026, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.

Drawn from the Schlesinger Library’s collection of more than 4,300 community cookbooks, ‘Cooking Up Change: Women’s Agency and Community Building Through Cookbooks’ explores the cultural and historical significance of community cookbooks from the nineteenth century to today. These volumes document how women’s groups across religious, educational, and civic organizations raised funds while preserving the social histories and culinary traditions of their communities.

Featuring cookbooks from diverse geographic regions and racial and ethnic communities, the exhibition highlights the intersection of foodways and community advocacy. Archival materials from local organizations reveal how these cookbooks were produced and marketed, while handmade and artistically embellished volumes underscore the creative labor involved. Annotated, food-stained pages attest to their everyday use and lasting presence in homes. Through recipes and reflections, ‘Cooking Up Change’ celebrates shared cooking traditions and the enduring power of women-led community building through the kitchen.

Cambridge
Thu., July 9, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Created over the course of fourteen years, Azadeh Akhlaghi’s project stages and photographs pivotal moments from Iran’s tumultuous twentieth-century history. Drawing on meticulous archival research and her background in cinema, she casts professional and nonprofessional actors and photographs each scene from multiple angles to reimagine historical events as complex tableaux, set in real locations in Iran.

In sixteen images—three presented as large-scale prints—Akhlaghi depicts eleven pivotal incidents highlighting the cycle of successful and failed efforts by Iranians to reclaim control of their country between 1908—when the Shah quashed the first National Assembly—and 1979, when the monarchy was overthrown and Islamic rule began.

Harvard Museum of Natural History
26 Oxford St.
Cambridge
Thu., July 9, 2026, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Rubies is a new, intimate collection of stunning minerals, gemstones, and jewelry on display in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Gallery.

Ruby, the red variety of the mineral corundum, owes its vibrant color to trace amounts of chromium in its crystal structure. This element also gives many rubies a striking fluorescence, glowing bright crimson under ultraviolet light. Ruby’s internal world—its inclusions, growth zoning, and rutile “silk” needles—records its geological journey and can reveal its origin, making ruby a gemstone of extraordinary beauty and a rich source of scientific insight.

Harvard and the American Revolution

09 Jul 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Lammot du Pont Copeland Gallery, Pusey Library
Harvard University Archives
Harvard Yard
Cambridge
Thu., July 9, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.

Harvard and the American Revolution was curated by Emily Atkins, Ariana Cook, Hannah Hack, Virginia Hunt, Juliana Kuipers, and Sarah Martin of the Harvard University Archives. Exhibit graphic design by Molly Regan, Logica Design.

Alevtina Kakhidze: 'Drawing the War' Exhibition

10 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Fisher Family Commons Gallery, CGIS Knafel Building
1737 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., July 10, 2026

The exhibition "Drawing the War" invites viewers into the intimate, raw space where everyday life and wartime reality collide. Living in Ukraine throughout Russia’s full scale invasion, the artist, Alevtina Kakhidze, works from the immediacy of her experience; her visceral reactions, bodily tensions, and emotional fluctuations become the material of her art. Her drawings, writings, and performance based reflections do not illustrate the war from afar; they transmit it from within. Each piece carries the pulse of a person navigating constant uncertainty, trying to preserve clarity, dignity, and humor in conditions that make such efforts difficult, at times impossible.

Every artwork in this exhibition is paired with a news article sourced across American media, to anchor Kakhidze’s personal narrative within the broader factual record of the war. These links function not as explanatory labels but as parallel threads, expanding each work’s emotional charge with real world contexts.

Exhibition "The Space of Appearance: A Shared Tongue"

10 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Third Floor, CGIS South Building
1730 Cambridge St.
Cambridge
Fri., July 10, 2026

The exhibition “The Space of Appearances: A Shared Tongue” is an excerpt from Yulia Spiridonova’s ongoing project “Wayward Son,” which examines contemporary displacement of people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Central Asia. The individuals photographed in this body of work have in common the Russian language and the experience of leaving their respective home countries due to political repression, the gradual collapse of personal freedoms, the erosion of civic life and society, or war.  
Photographs in the exhibition portray a Russian-speaking immigrant community in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, capturing moments of togetherness in informal, undefined spaces of comfort—where people talk, read, listen to music, daydream, or scroll on their phones. These encounters become what Hannah Arendt, in The Human Condition, calls “the space of appearances,” a threshold between the private and the public realms. These newly formed communities construct precisely such spaces: provisional and evanescent, yet undeniably vital.

Fri., July 10, 2026, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The American Revolution (1775-1783) was a war between Great Britain and its 13 American colonies. Colonists who supported independence believed they should have more control over their own laws and taxation, while the British wanted to keep the colonies under Imperial rule. These disagreements grew into open conflict and eventually led to the founding of a new nation.

Harvard played many roles in the American Revolution. It served as headquarters for the colonies’ Continental Army, produced graduates who became key revolutionary leaders, and fostered bold new ideas through active intellectual and academic debate. The stories gathered here reveal how the Harvard community helped shape—and was shaped by—the birth of the American republic.

This exhibition invites you to explore the many complex and influential ways Harvard participated in the American Revolution. Through thoughtfully curated objects, documents, and narratives from the collections of the Harvard University Archives, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the hopes and anxieties that shaped the era and how Harvard both participated in and contributed to the nation’s struggle for independence. We invite you to walk in these historical footsteps around campus, engage with the voices of the past, and reflect upon the lasting importance of education and critical inquiry during times of great change.
