Join us for an immersive experience exploring the works of Stockholm-based artists Goldin+Senneby. Their recent work focuses on issues of autoimmunity, accessibility, and ecology. We will meet at the List Center for a guided tour through the gallery.Drawing on the experience of living with multiple sclerosis, the exhibition’s title refers to a treatable aspect of the disease. While the gradual progression of the condition offers limited options for intervention, the sudden flare-ups have attracted significant interest from the pharmaceutical industry, paving the way for lucrative treatments. Flare-Up also alludes to the volatile, inflammable nature of pine resin, which has fueled investment in genetically engineered pines as a potential source of green energy.This presentation at the List Center is organized by Natalie Bell, Curator, with Zach Ngin, Curatorial Assistant, MIT List Visual Arts Center.This event is open the MIT Community only.

On view October 1 -- December 11, 2025This exhibition draws on archival materials from the Aga Khan Documentation Center at MIT (AKDC) to explore a century of cultural heritage preservation in Aleppo, Syria. It takes as its point of departure the work of Kamil al-Ghazzi (1853–1933), the pioneering Aleppine historian whose influential three-volume chronicle, Nahr al-Dhahab fī Tārīkh Ḥalab (The River of Gold in the History of Aleppo), was published between 1924 and 1926.Ink, Stone, and Silver Light presents three modes of documentation—manuscript, built form, and photography—through which Aleppo’s urban memory has been recorded and preserved. Featuring figures such as Michel Écochard and Yasser Tabbaa alongside al-Ghazzi, the exhibition traces overlapping efforts to capture the spirit of a city shaped by commerce, craft, and coexistence. At a time when Syria again confronts upheaval and displacement, these archival fragments offer models for preserving the past while envisioning futures rooted in dignity, knowledge, and place.

Speaker: Jennifer Paulhus (Mount Holyoke College)Title: Automorphism Groups of Riemann SurfacesAbstract:Classification questions about automorphisms of compact Riemann surfaces date back to the 1800s. There has been renewed interest in these questions over the last 30 years as advances in computation have provided new ways to explore the area. We will talk about some of those advancements focusing on groups which are automorphisms in just about every genus they should be (particularly simple groups and the alternating groups $A_n$).

Citizenfour (2014), 114 minutes. Laura Poitras (director)Introduction by Mariel Garcia-Montes (HASTS) and Michelle Spektor (SERC)Topic: Government overreach, Surveillance, AuthoritarianismCitizenfour gives audiences an exclusive front-row seat to the moment Edward Snowden changed history with his revelations of widespread government surveillance around the world. In June 2013, filmmaker Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald met with Snowden confidentially in Hong Kong, where he handed over classified documents providing evidence of mass indiscriminate and illegal invasions of privacy by the National Security Agency (NSA). As the story breaks, they are forced to manage the raging media storm around them, and find their personal security and that of their loved ones under threat.Cinema at the Nexus is an institute-wide film series which showcases films/documentaries that grapple with pressing issues of our day aiming to make sense of what we are experiencing today.Other events in the series:Cinema at the Nexus: "The Cost of AI" | Introduction by Eric Robsky Huntley, October 27Cinema at the Nexus: Prisoner No. 626710 is Present | Introduction by Sana Aiyar, November 13Supported by the SHASS Dean’s grant, hosted by the MIT Libraries.Pizza and light refreshments will be served.Contact for suggestions and questions: doylec@mit.edu, szarko@mit.edu, turnator@mit.edu
