CBH Talk | Simon and Simone Dinnerstein Discuss Art, Place and Imagination in the Work "Nocturne"
2026-03-30 18:30 - 20:00
Simon Dinnerstein’s 1982 painting Nocturne is a quiet but powerful breakthrough. The work portrays a newly arrived Polish immigrant seated before a window that opens onto a row of Brooklyn brownstones. The solid band of townhouses grounds the scene in the borough’s built environment, while an upper register of dreamlike vignettes—church towers, tree-lined streets, Polish heraldry—unfolds the subject’s inner life. Together, these elements capture the emotional complexity of displacement: the pull of memory and homeland set against the steady presence of a new place.
Currently on view through March 30 in the Center for Brooklyn History’s Centering Collections exhibition, Nocturne serves as the starting point for a rare and intimate conversation between Dinnerstein and his daughter, acclaimed pianist Simone Dinnerstein. Together they will reflect on the pivotal role of Nocturne in Dinnerstein’s artistic evolution, the stories behind its creation, and the dreamlike works that followed. They will explore Brooklyn as both muse and home, its brownstones, streets, and people, and as a lifelong creative community that has shaped Dinnerstein’s work. The evening includes an opportunity for a final, close look at Nocturne on its last day on view, guided by Dinnerstein and the CBH curatorial team.

CBH Talk | The Alchemy of Movement Building
2026-04-15 18:30 - 20:00
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.
Austerlitz 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.
