This two-day series gathers emerging scholars in the fields of music, fashion, and visual art to discuss the interplay between the arts, the world around us, and our inner lives. These events are free and open to the public.

Join us for two afternoon colloquium sessions (March 25 and 26), as well as a special evening session (March 26) featuring world-renowned pianist and music theorist Mia Chung and philosopher Loren Wilkinson.
