The sessions are open to practitioners, students, researchers and those working at the intersection of theory and practice. Every other week, invited guests present their ongoing research which inspire fruitful discussions. Due to the global pandemic and heightened safety measures, all sessions of this winter semester’s CARMAH Museum Lab will be held via Zoom. Feel free to join, wherever you are located!

Present Imperfect, Future Intense
