SUMMARY:"How Black Music Took Over the World" with Melvin Gibbs and Stephon Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Join FourOneOne and Sound+Science in celebration of producer\, bassist\, and author Melvin Gibbs’ new book How Black Music Took Over The World\, which will be published by Basic Books on April 14th. Gibbs will be in conversation with Stephon Alexander\, theoretical cosmologist\, jazz musician\, and author of The Jazz of Physics and Fear of a Black Universe. This event kicks off FourOneOne’s multipart residency with Gibbs\, which explores the themes of the book through a series of conversations and live performances. \nIn How Black Music Took Over the World\, Gibbs discusses the musical inheritance of Africa. Beginning with two rhythmic building blocks he calls the cell and the frame\, Gibbs shows how those tools can transport listeners to “a realm where sounds become vehicles for human movement.” Reforged in the African diaspora in the Americas\, they are played today on church organs\, electric guitars\, computers\, telephones\, or a simple gourd. Kool & the Gang called Black musicians the “scientists of sound”—and Gibbs shows how they discovered the world’s music.

SUMMARY:CBH Talk | The Alchemy of Movement Building
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of writers\, organizers\, and elected leaders for a powerful and urgent conversation about how movements are built quietly\, locally\, and out of public view\, before erupting into collective action. Moderated by Saul Austerlitz\, author of How to Assemble an Activist\, this program explores the sparks that turn private alarm into public action. Drawing on his own journey from political observer to engaged organizer\, Austerlitz offers a compelling case study of how ordinary people step forward\, find one another\, and begin the long work of change. \nAusterlitz will be joined by Council Member Alexa Avilés\, graphic artist and political zine-maker Megan Piontkowski\, and senior national political manager at Indivisible and co-founder of Hands Off NYC Molly Sandley\, whose voices are grounded in the day-to-day realities of grassroots work. Together\, they will pull back the curtain on what happens beneath the headlines: the patient community-building\, the creative interventions\, and the sustained collaboration that allow movements not just to ignite\, but to endure.

SUMMARY:Public Brooklyn NOW: How Public Spaces Shape Neighborhood Life
DESCRIPTION:This panel explores how public space in Brooklyn is shaped not only through design\, but also through policy\, community advocacy\, and the forces that determine who a space is truly made for. From parks and waterfronts to sidewalks and under-elevated corridors\, Brooklyn’s shared spaces are continually contested and transformed. The conversation brings together planners\, designers\, and advocates to ask what it really means to design for belonging. \nBrooklyn NOW! 2026\, presented at BPL’s Library for Arts & Culture\, celebrates the design forces actively shaping our borough today. Opening in April 2026\, the exhibition highlights how architects\, builders\, and visionaries are reimagining Brooklyn’s streets\, homes\, and civic spaces. The exhibition will be accompanied by five in-person public programs\, including a gallery opening that invites visitors to engage directly with the ideas and people behind the work.
