The Art of Reimagining: Culture, Universities, Cities

Hosted by Moore Institute Director Dan Carey, this webinar explores the topic of Capitals of Culture: how can universities engage in practice-based arts research and teaching? What are the challenges for Capitals of Culture amidst a global pandemic? Is what we want of cities changed forever?
