A rare chance to see history up close. 📜

July 1–7, The New York Public Library is displaying one of the jewels of its collections: a copy of the Declaration of Independence, handwritten by Thomas Jefferson.

This copy contains significant differences from the text that was ratified by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776—including a lengthy condemnation of the slave trade that was omitted from the final version—and invites us to reflect on the ongoing work to realize the Declaration’s promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

“A playful, insightful character study”—On May 20th, see SEX, Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s second installment of the widely acclaimed Oslo Trilogy! In this touching film about two male colleagues, SEX envisions honest, warm-hearted possibilities for gender expansiveness within heterosexual monogamy, while also enacting the intricacy of an authentic and generous love.
