November 18: ‘Fire and Ice’: Art in the Time of Crisis

In recent decades, the art world has become increasingly globalized, with artists from diverse backgrounds addressing issues of identity, politics, and technology. We will consider how artists grapple with climate change, migration, and social justice. And we’ll speculate on the future of the art world, which promises to be dynamic and unpredictable, shaped by global events and technological innovation like AI.
