Explorations in Art + Design at Berkeley
| Course | HUM 20 (#32659) |
| Instructor | Susan Moffat & Elizabeth Wymore |
| Unit | 1 |
| Time | F 11:30 am – 1 pm |
| Location | Osher Theater, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) |
In this course, you’ll hear artists, designers and scholars explore themes of exclusion, belonging, and resilience across geographies and genres including film, dance, literature, visual arts, and music. The speaker series is part of the multi-genre project “A Year on Angel Island,” and we’ll use the former immigration station at this meaningful spot in San Francisco Bay as a jumping-off point for wide-ranging conversations.
A+D @ BAMPFA is a weekly public lecture series organized by the Arts + Design Initiative and co-curated by departments throughout the campus and local and national arts organizations. In Fall 2022, the series is co-curated with Future Histories Lab and will explore how the arts transform understanding about the past into possibilities for the future. Through lectures by leading scholars, artists, and public figures, students are introduced to vocabularies, forms, and histories from the many arts, design, humanities, and media disciplines represented at UC Berkeley. Students engage with the lecture series through weekly response papers and a final reflection paper.
