SUMMARY:Film Screening: "Jazz on a Summer's Day" with Q+A
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening of 1959 Jazz on a Summer’s Day \nFollowed by a Q+A with Brian Kane\nThursday May 28 from 6:30–9:00PM \nFilm duration: 1h 25m\nRegistration: $20 general admission\, $10 seniors\, $10 students\, and free for members \nExperience the intersection of jazz history and visual art at MoCACT on Thursday\, May 28\, at 6:30 PM for a screening of the 1959 documentary Jazz on a Summer’s Day directed by photographer Bert Stern. The film captures the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival\, documented in vibrant color and high-fashion style. Rather than a standard concert film\, it unfolds as a visual poem that interweaves legendary musical performances with scenes of the coastal crowds and the America’s Cup yacht races. This landmark documentary serves as a cinematic extension of our current exhibition\, Art\, Jazz + the Blues\, bringing the same energy and rhythm found in our galleries to the screen. \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with Brian Kane\, a scholar of music theory and philosophy who specializes in the intersection of sound\, improvisation\, and 20th-century jazz. Kane brings a unique perspective to the film’s legacy\, exploring how these legendary performances continue to resonate within the history of American art. Brian Kane is Professor of Music and Film and Media Studies at Yale University. He earned his PhD from UC Berkeley and was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University before joining Yale University. He teaches and writes about jazz\, sound\, media\, and technology—and how the ways we listen influence how we understand the world. He is the author of two books published by Oxford University Press: Sound Unseen: Acousmatic Sound in Theory and Practice (2014) and Hearing Double: Jazz\, Ontology\, Auditory Culture (2024). Kane leads Yale’s Sound Studies Working Group and is a founding editor of nonsite.org\, an online journal of arts and ideas. Getting into your account quickly and without hassle matters more than most players realize. Pinco giriş keeps that process simple\, working smoothly across desktop and mobile browsers alike. Once signed in\, the full game catalog opens up\, from slots to live dealer rooms. Ongoing bonuses and free spin offers add extra value along the way. Withdrawals move through reliable payment channels without much delay. A support team is on standby for any login-related issues. \nAs you watch the film\, you will recognize the very figures who served as direct muses for several artists in our exhibition. The film features Louis Armstrong\, a vital inspiration for Richard Hunt\, Faith Ringgold\, and Tracy Sugarman\, alongside Thelonious Monk\, whose improvisational genius influenced Sam Gilliam and is captured in John H. Nichols’ Pianorama in our larger gallery space. Additionally\, the appearance of Mahalia Jackson highlights her profound impact on the work of Romare Bearden. Join us for an evening of legendary film and insightful conversation.

SUMMARY:Trudeau and Doonesbury: The Cartoonist Who Turned the News into Art
DESCRIPTION:Writer Joshua Kendall will provide an entertaining romp through the remarkable life of cartoonist Garry Trudeau and the past half century of American history during “Trudeau and Doonesbury: The Cartoonist Who Turned the News into Art\,” at the New Haven Museum on Thursday\, May 28\, 2026\, at 6 p.m. Reception at 5:30 p.m. Free with regular museum admission\, register here. \nKendall’s presentation will be based on his latest book of the same title\, which will be published on May 26\, 2026. Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. has called this definitive biography of Trudeau\, which relies on nearly 100 interviews of prominent baby boomers\, including the cartoonist himself\, “outstanding\,” adding that it “helps us understand how Trudeau became a spokesman for our generation\, someone who spoke truth to power while compelling us to laugh along at life’s many absurdities.” \nKendall will talk about the legendary career of Trudeau\, who began drawing his iconic strip “Doonesbury” while attending Yale University. At a time when college campus unrest reached a fever pitch across the nation\, “Doonesbury”began appearing in papers nationwide in 1970. Events from Watergate to the war in Vietnam fueled the comic’s popularity—and its significance. As former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once put it\, “The only thing worse than being in it would be not to be in it.” \nKendall will discuss Trudeau’s early life and what makes him tick and show how “Doonesbury” reflected America back to itself. Kendall will argue that just as Charles Dickens in his novels presented an indelible picture of Victorian England\, Trudeau in his comic strips chronicled life in late 20th and early 21st-century America. \nKendall notes that he hopes attendees will gain both a deeper understanding of Trudeau as a person and an appreciation for the influence of his famous comic strip. “We live in an age where political satire itself is under attack\, and Garry’s work highlights the value of humor in understanding the world around us\,” Kendall says. “As a Yale grad—class of 1981—and like many Yalies of my generation\, Garry helped me navigate through the ups and downs of adulthood.”

SUMMARY:The Science of Apizza: A Talk with Scott Wiener
DESCRIPTION:What is the magic that transforms a few simple ingredients into the miracle known as pizza? Scott Wiener\, renowned pizza authority and founder of Scott’s Pizza Tours in New York City\, will unravel the mouth-watering mystery during\, “The Science of Apizza: A Talk with Scott Wiener\,” on Thursday\, May 14\, 2026\, at 6 pm\, at the New Haven Museum (NHM). The program is the latest in the “Monthly Slice” series at NHM\, presented in conjunction with the exhibition\, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz.” Free with regular museum admission. Register here. \nIs it the water? The 100-year-old oven? The ingredients? Perhaps it’s the talent of the person creating the pie\, or all the above. Gorman Bechard\, director of “Pizza A Love Story\,” will explore the food-science phenomenon with Weiner in a conversation sure to be enlightening\, funny\, and perhaps a tad obsessive. United in their passion for pizza\, the two will look for answers to the question of what makes New Haven pizza so good. Visitors should don their Bill Nye hats and bring their questions to the Q&A which follows. \nThe “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibition at NHM includes first-hand oral histories and pizza-related artifacts from personal collections\, video footage adapted from the documentary and photographs. The exhibition’s title comes from the way many people mispronounce the word apizza\, which originally grew out of the Italian la pizza. The exhibition will remain on view through October 2027.
