Identifier: RG.012

Scope and Contents

The IDS Public Lecture Series consists of lectures by artists, theorists, activists, designers, writers, curators and other practitioners involved in the arts from positions that embody an interdisciplinary approach or that imply new uses for disciplinary traditions. Each lecture is part of The Cooper Union's Intra-Disciplinary Seminar (IDS). The seminar and series were organized by Leslie Hewitt and Omar Berrada from Fall 2017-Fall 2022. The IDS public lecture series is part of the Robert Lehman Visiting Artist Program at The Cooper Union, and is made possible by generous support from the Open Society Foundations
