Join journalist and memoirist Raza Rumi (Hunter College), writer and filmmaker Austin Bunn (Cornell University), and theater arts producer Emily Jackson (Kitchen Theatre Company) in this lively conversation about making art, exercising rights, and imagining a better world for all. Jonathan Miller of Story House Ithaca will moderate.

The discussion is part of a series of dialogues celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ithaca City of Asylum, an all-volunteer effort that provides refuge in Ithaca for writers and artists who can no longer safely work in their home countries. Each invites a former program participant (in this case Rumi) and local residents working creatively in other fields to share their perspectives.

Doors and the lobby bar open at 5. The program starts at 5:30.

On 1 December 2026 the LOOKS campaign opens with a free online meeting, 18:00 to 20:00 CET (12:00 to 14:00 Eastern), open to anyone without registration.

LOOKS asks how much a face decides about a person's life before its owner has said a word, and it refuses both of the usual answers: that looks are everything, and that looks do not matter.

The project's factual foundation is oral health, and that is deliberate: the smile is where a face is most visibly judged and least publicly understood.

The meeting presents the project, its educational mission and the material it makes public. The campaign includes a feature documentary and an online series, alongside a free educational section for readers with no medical background.
