Shahzia Sikander Reanimates Global Visual Histories
Cleveland Museum of Art

The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) is pleased to announce that its presentation of Shahzia Sikander: Collective Behavior opens on February 14, 2025. The exhibition premiered at the Palazzo Soranzo van Axel in Venice. Co-organized by the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) and the Cincinnati Art Museum (CAM), it was a Collateral Event in association with the 60th International Art Exhibition—La Biennale di Venezia in 2024. After Collective Behavior closed in Venice, iterations of the show traveled to both Ohio institutions, where they are on view concurrently. The CMA presents Shahzia Sikander’s art in relation to historical South Asian works from the museum’s collection that inspire her. Collective Behavior includes works that span Sikander’s career and the many mediums that she has used. It comprises a series of conversations between our own time and the past that illuminate the artist’s primary ideas and inquiries. This iteration of Collective Behavior offers a narrative that the CMA is uniquely well suited to share, carrying forward in time the rich histories that are encompassed in the museum’s renowned South Asian collection. Simultaneously, it situates contemporary artistic practice in relation to the global history that precedes it.

For more than three decades, Sikander (born 1969, Pakistan) has been animating South Asian visual histories through a contemporary perspective. Her work reimagines the past for the present moment, proposing new narratives that cross time and place. Working in a variety of mediums, Sikander considers Western relations with the global south and the wider Islamic world, often through the lens of gender and body politics. Her work is rooted in a lexicon of recurring motifs that make visible marginalized subjects. At times turning the lens inward, Sikander reflects on her own experience as an immigrant and diasporic artist working in the United States.

His compositions blend folk, flamenco, Celtic, and classical melodies, creating an emotional and multicultural experience. With his third album, Ikigai, released in April 2022, Romero reached #28 on the Transglobal World Music Chart. Ikigai is an ode to Spanish folklore and its crossover with Atlantic folk sounds, composed and performed on a steel-string guitar, full of colors and nuances.

Exhibit about Albanian Besa
Lakewood Public Library
15425 Detroit Ave. Lakewood

When post-World War II Europe found itself devastated by the loss of its Jewish population, Albania was the only country to boast a larger number of Jews than it had prior to the Holocaust. Over 2,000 Jews from Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Poland and Serbia were hidden in the homes of Albanian Muslim families during the war. Norman Gershman, an American photographer fascinated with these stories, traveled to Albania and Kosovo to chronicle the tales of the righteous Albanians and their devotion to and dedicated practice of Besa, an Albanian Code of Honor. Besa means “to keep the promise” and is a fundamental guideline of life.

Polish Fat Thursday Paczki Party
Polish American Cultural Center at 6501 Lansing Avenue

Fat Thursday, known locally as Tlusty Czwartek, is a day linked to the church calendar. On this day, for many Polish people, it is the last day to eat lots of fatty, sugary food and drink alcohol before Lent (the Christian festival). Some Polish people abstain from alcohol and meat completely during Lent. Others continue to eat meat and drink alcohol during this six-week period, but almost every Polish person celebrates Fat Thursday as the final day of eating indulgent foods ahead of Easter. On the Wednesday before, and all day on Fat Thursday itself, expect bakeries to be queued out the door. What you will experience is a lot of sweet Polish food being sold and eaten, mostly Faworki ("angel wings," pastry with sugar) and P?czki (filled doughnuts).

On February 27th, 2025, the Polish American Cultural Center at 6501 Lansing Avenue in the heart of Cleveland's Slavic Village will host an event celebrating this tradition in an authentic Polish style! The festivities will kick off at 4:00 PM with a Polish Happy Hour featuring a fantastic selection of Polish imported beers. Opus 216 will make their musical debut at the center, performing Polish and Slavic tunes to capture the essence of Warsaw. The center's world-class Polish chefs will prepare homemade specialties right in front of you, allowing you to indulge in Pierogi, Golabki, Lazanki, and smoked Kielbasa.

Let the lively rhythms of the Tom Katrenich Orchestra guide you to the dance floor with your favorite Polkas, Obereks, and Waltzes, all while the delightful aroma of freshly made Paczki fills the air with sweetness! Admission is free! Security is on the premises.

In this highly-anticipated sequel to The Last Mona Lisa (a People Magazine Best Book of Summer), Santlofer turns his attention to one of the most revered artists of all time, spinning a riveting tale based on rumors that Van Gogh completed a final self-portrait before his death, one that has since been lost to time – or the black market.

Paolo Angeli - traditional Sardinian music
7 - 8:30 PM
Transformer Station
1460 W 29th St, Cleveland

Guitarist, composer, ethnomusicologist, and instrument builder Paolo Angeli is associated with traditional Sardinian music, but nobody performs it quite like he does. Paolo composes multilayered music for his unique prepared guitar: a hybrid instrument with strings going in all directions, foot-pedal-controlled motorized propellers, and hammers. He creates shimmering drones and bass lines as he bows, strikes, plucks, and strums the strings. Rhythmic atmospherics abound by treading on a plastic bag and adjusting tunings on the fly. Electronic effects are utilized, but Paolo uses no loops. With his singular instrument, Paolo improvises and composes unclassifiable music, suspended between traditional music of Sardinia, free jazz, flamenco, Arabic, and postfolk.

Holocaust Book Talk: The Politzer Saga with Linda Broenniman
7 PM
Maltz Museum
2929 Richmond Rd. Beachwood

A house fire in 2011. A box survives. Its contents became the catalyst for a quest whose seeds were planted in 1983—the day Linda Ambrus Broenniman learned that her Catholic father was Jewish and that what little family history she knew was a lie. Searching for truth, Linda pieced together the astonishing story of eight generations of her Jewish ancestors—the Politzer family—and their remarkable lives lost to her father’s secrets.

Join the Maltz Museum for an evening with the author of The Politzer Saga, as she tells the story of finding her roots, and honoring the memories of her family. In helping Linda find her family, András Gyekiczki wrote, “I hardly know any non-fiction sagas to better exemplify Hungarian Jewish fate of the past 300 years as this Politzer story. Illuminating the destructive power of hatred, dehumanization, and injustice, this powerful story encompasses issues that still echo today. The Politzer Saga is the subject of an Exhibition at the Rumbach Synagogue, Budapest, Hungary.
