The 2022–23 public programs and engagement series at Columbia University School of the Arts is organized around the concept of “To Transform.” Here we will present conversations, screenings, readings, and research about work that enacts transformation on physical, social, political, and psychic landscapes and the complexities that ensue. Most events take place in the Lenfest Center for the Arts on Columbia University’s Manhattanville campus.
In a world premiere commissioned by the school, New York-based composer, producer, and performer Hahn Rowe will use digital processing alongside traditional instruments and crude, everyday objects to build Something about the Weather, a fluid, shapeshifting soundscape.
