Bwog knows about that middle school dance concert. Bwog knows your shame.

New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined on campus.

On Campus:

  • On Thursday through Saturday, head to the Glicker-Milstein theater at 8 PM to see Asterisk: A New Play. The story focuses on recently-out Nadia, whose attempt to write a play about three historical trans figures is complicated when the figures appear in Nadia’s room – and they’re not too happy. Tickets pay what you want.
  • This Friday, April 6 at 8 PM and 10:30 PM, check out Orchesis’ Spring 2018 show, “What I’ve Been Looking fORCHESIS” in Roone. Orchesis is CU’s largest, all-inclusive performing arts group. Tickets $6 with CUID.
  • On Saturday, the Barnard Dance Department is hosting its inaugural dance-film festival, Moving Body: Moving Image. Featuring Oscar-nominated producer Lisa Cortes, the festival will focus on the brown body and its representation on screen. More info and RSVP here.

Off Campus:

  • This weekend, April 7-8, head down to the Brooklyn Bazaar for the Oddities Flea Market! This exceptional market features medical history ephemera, anatomical curiosities, natural history items, osteological specimens, taxidermy, obscure home decor, jewelry, one-of-a-kind dark art, and more. General admission $5.
