Discussion | Experts Discuss "Climate Migration"


This panel brings together Anna Stilz (UC Berkeley, Political Science), Sunil Amrith (Yale, History), and Leah Zamore (Zolberg Institute/The New School) to examine how each scholar and practitioner engages climate migration in their own work, and to interrogate what the concept names, what it obscures, and what it does in practice. “Climate migration” is now a central term in public debate—but also a contested one. Does it clarify urgent forms of movement in a warming world, or flatten distinct causes, responsibilities, and policy responses into one expansive category? What makes mobility intelligible as a specifically climatic phenomenon rather than as a question of development, inequality, land, or labor? And how does this language shape politics--enabling political planning and solidarity in some contexts, while in others provoking fear-driven reaction?

The exhibition explores the relationship between nineteenth century performing “Indians” and contemporary performance art. Indigenous artists have taken up this nineteenth-century history to create self-representations in photography, performance, video, and installation that challenge ideas of normative and static identity.

Opening Reception | wait until my sugar melts: Multi-Artist Exhibition Exploring Access to the Body


wait until my sugar melts is an exhibit that guides the viewer across different historical moments, with works spanning from 1977 to 2026, presenting a spectrum of social scripts that regulate access to the body. Works by Mae Howard and Martha Rosler touch upon the administrative systems of structural authority that normalize access to the body, revealing how normative conventions quietly legitimize intrusion. Susan Meiselas, Nadia Markiewicz, and Sarah Friend shift attention to the economies that organize this access and the complex relationship of the gaze as a controlling force, revealing how desire and economic incentive structure the porous boundary between exploitation and agency. Nate Dallimore and Azita Moradkhani’s work then turns inward, showing what happens once these systems settle beneath the skin, bridging external structures of power and the internal experience of the body. In Johanna Hedva’s work, access to the body is no longer assumed but deliberately structured through acts of negotiation. The exhibition culminates in works by Spandita Malik and Teresa Firmino Kutala, where the body becomes a site through which authorship is reclaimed, and normative conditions are renegotiated. The aim is not to shock viewers, but rather to reveal reality itself as the shocking condition in which our bodies exist.

Lecture | Interdisciplinary Artist Sean Fader Discusses His Craft & Career


Hear from Sean Fader, a New York–based interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of photography, performance, installation, and emerging technologies. Through staged photographs, participatory encounters, and networked forms of display, his work examines how identity is performed and archived—especially within queer cultural practice—and how public memory is constructed, erased, or fought for in contemporary life. His projects often unfold across multiple platforms, including exhibitions, public interventions, and interactive digital layers, treating the photographic image as both evidence and event. Fader’s recent work includes Insufficient Memory, a long-term project that traces unmarked sites connected to anti-LGBTQ+ violence and asks what it means to remember when the archive is incomplete. Works from Insufficient Memory are in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum. He is currently developing Queer American Memorials, a memorial initiative that places site markers embedded with NFC and augmented reality experiences, creating a living, distributed archive rooted in place and built with community participation.

Classical Music | Ensemble Piece by Morton Feldman


JACK Quartet and pianist Amy Williams perform Morton Feldman’s Piano and String Quartet. This performance marks the centennial of Feldman’s birth and honors the artistic relationship between Feldman and Robert Rauschenberg, whose work frequently intersected across music and visual art. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition, the program highlights the shared spirit of experimentation and collaboration that connected these two influential figures of the postwar avant-garde.
