The Art and Craft Lectures is an annual lecture series devoted to art education, research, theory, and politics. The program, curated by Sara R. Yazdani and Susanne M. Winterling, nurtures an interdisciplinary exchange of practice and theory.
The Spring 2025 program un/folds connections between materials and bodies. From the perspective of art and craft, we wish to consider the fold as an artistic and academic method and tool to understand materials and their interconnections with machines, bodies, techniques, and space, as well as culture, politics, and affective relations in the world.
Taking a collaborative approach to practice and research, the lecture series seeks to generate inspiration, critical navigation, and community across the arts. It invites scholars, artists, and curators from different disciplines to give a traditional keynotes or conversations that guide the semester, and as a platform for students and faculty to share and discuss practice, concerns, and inspiration, with an open door to the public.
