4. Hands Off Our Revolution Launch Event
The recently launched global coalition of artists and cultural practitioners, Hands Off Our Revolution is holding its first New York event and you’re invited. The idea is to have artists, cultural practitioners, and public intellectuals engage “the way art counters the rising rhetoric of right-wing populism and fascism, and its increasingly stark expressions of xenophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, and unapologetic intolerance.” Speakers will include artist Jonathan Horowitz, Shiva Ahmadi, Amy Khoshbin, and digital entrepreneur David K. Goldstein, among others.
Location: The Dubinsky Building, 27th Street and 8th Avenue, 8th floor
Price: Free

7. “Sarah Zapata: If I Could” at Deli Gallery
Peruvian-American artist Sarah Zapata has titled her solo show at Deli Gallery after “El Condor Pasa (If I Could),” the best-known Peruvian song in the world (thanks largely to a 1970 English-speaking cover by Simon & Garfunkel). Drawing on her Andean heritage and American upbringing, she has combined labor-intensive Peruvian hand-weaving and traditional American rug-making techniques, both typically performed by women, to create a monumental textile installation that stands as “a tactile embodiment of gender and cultural performativity.”
Location: Deli Gallery, 10-16 46th Avenue, Queens
Price: Free
Time: Opening 7 p.m.–10 p.m.; Sunday 12 p.m.–5 p.m. and by appointment

9. Big Apple Con at the Penn Plaza Pavilion
Before there was the New York Comic Con, there was the Big Apple Comic Con, founded in 1996. Where the New York con has expanded beyond the domain of comics to feature all manner of television shows, movies, and other pop culture phenomena, the Big Apple Con has stayed comparatively true to its roots, offering an impressive selection of collectible comics, illustrations, and comic art collectively worth well over $5 million.
In addition to some of the industry’s most prolific comic artists, there will also be celebrities, like Daredevil star Jon Bernthal and the 94-year-old grandfather of American comics, Stan Lee, who is, it seems, back in New York after swearing that this fall’s NY Comic Con would be his last trip to the East Coast.
Location: Penn Plaza, 401 7th Avenue
Price: $10
Time: 10 a.m.–7 p.m.
