2025 Conversations Across Cultures Symposium
ART TODAY: CAPSULES IN TIME
April 25 – 27, 2025
We invite you to join us for Conversations Across Cultures, a three-day convening of artists, educators, researchers, and the broader cultural community at Teachers College, Columbia University. Art Today: Challenging Times explores the power of art to pose questions of today, catalyze cross-cultural dialogue and shape community connection via two days of thoughtful participation. Four keynote speakers, student panels and audience engagement will consider how artists and educators take on the challenges of today in their thinking and practices. The final event of the conference will be a community activation and artmaking lab in the atrium of Gottesman Library [Sunday].
