Cultural Events This Week: Book Talks, Festivities, and Film

This week, from January 29 to February 4, is packed with a variety of cultural activities to attend in New York City, catering to different interests and audiences.

7:30 p.m. – A Night of Performance Art

On Monday evening, prepare to immerse yourself into the thought-provoking world of visual artist Suzanne Bocanegra. Her 'Artist Performance Lecture', titled 'Bodycast', features the talented Ruth Negga, an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Tony nominee. Audiences will experience a riveting exploration of the notions of femininity set against personal narrative and theatrics. Bocanegra weaves a tale centered around her teenage years, marked by the challenge of scoliosis, which required her to be in a body cast, also infusing elements from her own life experiences. Under the direction of Paul Lazar, 'Bodycast' promises to be an impactful night out you surely wouldn't want to miss. Tickets are available starting at $18.
