2025 Winter Lecture
The Alhambra—A Moorish Paradise: Explore a Magical and Ethereal World
Our 2025 Winter Lecture features Untermyer Gardens Conservancy President, Stephen F. Byrns, who will delve into the exquisite architecture and ethereal gardens of the Alhambra.
The Alhambra in Spain is the most significant preserved Moorish palace in Europe—older than the surviving paradise gardens of Iran, India, and Pakistan, dating to the 14th century. Built on a fortified hill overlooking Granada, which was then an Islamic kingdom, its architecture is richly ornamented like a faceted jewel, while water flows throughout its intricately linked courtyard gardens. The nearby Generalife was the sultans’ summer palace with extensive gardens which seem a world away from the towering Alhambra.
The lecture will take place at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, 921 Madison Avenue, NYC, with a reception following the lecture.
A recording of the lecture will be available starting February 6, tickets sold separately.

About SCYTHE & SPARROW (B&N EXCLUSIVE EDITION):
Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.
But then the real circus finds him.
Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.
The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.
…And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.
Tropes:
Friends with benefits
Small town romance
Fish out of water
Forced proximity
Hurt/care
Touch her and die
About Brynne Weaver:
#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author and TikTok sensation with works sold worldwide in over eighteen languages to date, Brynne Weaver has traveled the world, taken in more stray animals than her husband would probably prefer, and nurtured her love for dark comedies, horror, and romance in both literature and film. During all her adventures, the constant thread in Brynne’s life has been writing. With nine published works and counting, Brynne has made her mark in the literary world by blending irreverent dark comedy, swoon-worthy romance, and riveting suspense to create genre-breaking, addictive stories for readers to escape into.

About this event
In celebration of Ariana Reines’s urgent new book, Wave of Blood, please join us for a gathering in honor of poetic kinship, queer family, horrible and legendary fathers, and life after death.
Wave of Blood wrestles with the mind of war. It’s a furious and sincere essay, an eclipse notebook, and a family chronicle, all told in the poetry of witness. Tonight, its author will be joined by the great Eileen Myles for a very special conversation and reading to hail this work and Eileen’s own extraordinary career in poetry, art, activism, and recovery.
Ariana says: “Back in 2015 I was at one of the lowest points in my life. Eileen and I already had this running joke going wherein I am the reincarnation of their dad, who died on my birthday (same day different year). I was sobbing to Eileen on the phone, from an airbnb in Medford Mass, when tearfully I said ‘Would your dad come back as a miserable, menstrual, femme Jewess from Salem Massachusetts?’ And Eileen goes, “‘That’s exactly what he’d come back as. And he loved doing drag—this was and is his dream.”
Attendees have the option to receive a signed copy of Wave of Blood when purchasing a ticket in Eventbrite. Copies of Wave of Blood will also be available for purchase at the event.
This program is part of PW Broadcast’s Author Talks, a series highlighting authors and thinkers across disciplines.

About this event
Join us for the opening celebration of Young Joon Kwak’s exhibition, RESISTERHOOD.
Young Joon Kwak’s work begins with touch. Molds and imprints of bodies – the artist’s own, and those of friends, loved ones, and collaborators – are dis- and re-assembled, burnished and jeweled. The resulting works bear intimate human traces and yet remain anonymous, moving in and out of recognition. They shimmer in their distortions and imperfections, presenting us with bodies both frozen in time and in perpetual transition: in the midst of youth, aging, gestation, or gender transformation.
RESISTERHOOD includes new commissions and works made over the past ten years, a series of neon sculptures for the Museum’s public window gallery, and a soundscape composed by Xina Xurner (Kwak and Marvin Astorga) with Johanna Hedva, Anna Luisa, and Dorian Wood. Taken together, these artworks are a mobilizing call for a new politics of queer and trans resistance: embracing a playful erotics, and celebrating imperfection, abjection, ambiguity, and uncategorizable ways of looking and being.
Young Joon Kwak (b. 1984, Queens, New York) is a Los Angeles-based sculptor, performance artist, and the founder of Mutant Salon, a queer-transfem-BIPOC collective beauty salon and collaborative art and performance platform. Their work has been widely exhibited at galleries and museums internationally, including at the Hammer Museum’s biennial exhibition Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living. Learn more about Young Joon Kwak here.

Bisan & Ahmad Alive Double Feature: Stories Straight from Gaza
Two raw, fearless documentaries from Seen Palestine/Seen TV—“Bisan” and “Ahmad Alive”—that cut through the media blackout to bring you real stories from Gaza.
Bisan
Hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been killed or forced out. But Bisan Owda stayed put. Armed with her phone and fearless determination, Bisan refuses to let the world ignore what’s happening in Gaza. She’s an Emmy winner who risked everything to show us the brutal reality of occupation and bombardment. This is journalism in its truest form—dangerous, defiant, and absolutely necessary.
Ahmad Alive
Meet Ahmad Ghunaim, a vlogger who never planned on becoming a war correspondent. In a split second, his house was bombed, and he was left a refugee on the streets. Despite it all, Ahmad grabbed his phone, documented the devastation, and let the world in on what most media won’t show.
What to Expect
Expect a game-changing talk from former CNN journalist and Seen TV Co-founder, Yusuf Omar. He’ll share his breakthrough approach for educating anti-Palestinian voices and shifting hearts and minds through fearless storytelling—an approach proven by Seen TV to spark real change. If you’re fueled by activism and ready to make an impact, don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event.
About Us
Seen TV, leaders in citizen journalism, these films are firsthand accounts of everyday people in Gaza who refused to be silenced. At a time when foreign journalists are still banned from entering, we’re proud to share these voices from Gaza with you.
Join us for our U.S. Film Tour with director and Seen TV Co-founder Yusuf Omar in attendance. This is your chance to honor Palestinians risking their lives to pull back the curtain on a crisis too often hidden. Tickets sales 100% support Seen Palestine’s storytelling.
