The show received a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. It was featured by Hyperallergic as one of the 15 shows to see in New York this fall.In a full-page review, The New York Times wrote: "The current show, “Transatlantic Bridges: Corrado Cagli, 1938-1948,” brings together a dizzying array of historical, social and cultural phenomena, all personified in the boundary-shattering life of Cagli, and illustrated here by drawings, paintings, photos and ephemera that explore themes of war, exile and discrimination."

Brian Swann
Professor Emeritus of Humanities
Ya-Honk! Goes the Wild Gander or, Covid Divagations, the latest book by Brian Swann, professor emeritus of humanities, is now available for pre-order from MadHat Press. Swann, who retired in 2022 after five decades of teaching in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, is a prolific writer, editor, translator, and scholar of Native American cultures and literatures. His new book follows on the heels of Imago, a collection of poetry published last March by Johns Hopkins University Press.
Swann’s “divagations” in Ya-Honk!, written during a year of online teaching in the midst of pandemic, include “wanderings through Covid-stricken Manhattan streets woven together with accounts and excursions through the mind’s spaces, memories real and imagined, incidents and adventures comic and sad in a world off-kilter, a mix of marvelous and concrete, quotidian and outre all playing against a pandemic background of ‘Time, the chorus’ while the book shrinks and expands, now luxurious as prose-poem, now expansive as fiction or essay…”
