Focus in the program will be to highlight
the importance of art research and education, particularly in times of social unrest and climate change. It is through the
arts that the scope of human experience around creativity, innovation, empathy, culture, and knowledge is learned, expressed,
and distributed, both for the common good and the development of the individual. By highlighting collaborative research between
artists, humanists, scientists and scholars at large, the symposium will attempt to demonstrate the important role of art
research in academia and beyond.
