The IDS Public Lecture Series, designed as an introduction to some of the most pressing questions driving contemporary thought and practice, consists of lectures by artists, theorists, scientists, activists, writers, and other practitioners involved in the arts from positions that embody an interdisciplinary approach or that imply new uses for disciplinary traditions.

Emily Jacir (CRF 2009 and current Advisory Council Member) will be lecturing as part of the 2019 series on May 7th.

“The 2019 IDS is organized along three general directions: “Movement and Stasis”, where we study the transformations of social space with a special emphasis on gentrification, displacement, and land rights; “Atmospheric Pressures”,where we tackle environmental issues from scientific, aesthetic, and geopolitical angles; and “Futures”, where we look to move beyond understanding our current predicament toward imagining potential futures.”

All lectures are free and open to the public, and take place on Tuesdays at 7pm, unless otherwise specified.
