Marlene Strauss with Nev Schulmann: Dating & Deception WAIT LIST ONLY

Join noted art historian Marlene Strauss and her grandson Nev Schulman, the host and executive producer of MTV’s Catfish, for a witty discussion about dating and deception—and the lies lovers have told each other through the ages.

Schulman coined the term “catfish” for a person who creates a false online profile to trick people into falling for them. His grandmother, who has been a featured speaker at the Met for the past 25 years, argues this has been going on for millennia. After all, didn’t Zeus pretend to be a swan in order to seduce Leda? They’ll illustrate their arguments with slides and film clips for further edification.
