Cultural Currents Attend: March 2026
A curated list of events for awe, and wonder
Welcome to the endless winter.
I keep thinking about the film Endless Summer. Traveling the tropics, surfing all year long, never letting the vibes of summer go. Only, we’re on the opposite spectrum.
Winter started with frigid, arctic-like temperatures. Then the snow kept coming. Even after the blizzard — and the record-breaking snow removal — more snow fell. And now even more threatens as we enter March. Make it end.
The crazy thing is, people are still coming out. I had the honor of sitting in for Kris Brown to speak on behalf of Brady United after a FYC screening of Oscar-nominated short All the Empty Rooms. And the screening was packed. The day after that blizzard. That’s an only-in-New-York thing.
March is also the month when anything can happen. Warm, sunny days. Rain. Snow again. The chaos, the transition toward light — it feels like a metaphor for the state of the world right now.
So I’m going to force myself out to a few things. I hope you’ll join me.

🎭 Dance Reflections Presented by Van Cleef and Arpels
This is on my radar to attend. If I had a slightly older child, I’d bring them with me. There’s a lot in this program across dates, but I especially want to see Romeo & Juliet Suite by Benjamin Millepied with L.A. Dance Project at Park Avenue Armory. 🔗 Get Tickets

📚 Literary Dinner in Conversation with Angela Flournoy
A Les Biblioteca x LitClubNYC event discussing love, loss, and friendship. I read Angela Flournoy’s The Wilderness, which is the focus of the evening. The book is incredible. I wish I could go — and if you can, you definitely should. 🔗 Check this space for tickets

📚 BK Walking Book Club: Martyr!
We read a book each month and come together to walk and talk about it. March’s pick is Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! — an instant classic that says everything and leaves a lot unsaid. There’s definitely room for interpretation on the ending. We can’t wait to walk and discuss. Hope you can join us.🔗 DM to be added to the WhatsApp group and join us.
🗓 Friday, March 20, 2026
🎬 Project Hail Mary (In Theaters)
A book-to-movie that’s received a lot of glowing early buzz. The book was a fun, high-octane read — I’m curious to see how it translates on screen.
🗓 Saturday March 28th, 2 PM
🎭 Robot Song
The story follows eleven-year-old Juniper May, whose world unravels after classmates declare her “the most hated person in school.” Withdrawn and isolated, she’s saved when her desperate parents turn to an unexpected ally: a giant singing robot. Blending digital technology, animatronics, and an original score, Robot Song is a joyful reminder of the power of love and imagination.🔗 Get Tickets
A Note on March
This issue is free.
Starting in April (maybe May), Cultural Currents: ATTEND will move to a paid-subscriber rhythm — curated moments and seasonal lists designed to help you meet your people by showing up where meaning already exists.
If this list helped you choose even one thing you wouldn’t have found otherwise, I hope you’ll subscribe and come along.
