For the first time since its inception, the Lunder Institute Summer Think Tank will feature a series of public programs, consisting of live performances, film screenings, and workshops developed and presented by the participants, which will provide the Colby Museum’s audiences with a unique opportunity to learn from the think tank as it’s happening. All programs are free and open to all!

Week 4: (Re)imagining sustainability
Guest curator: David Thomson, interdisciplinary performing artist

This week’s conversations look to (re)imagine sustainability within an arts ecosystem that is at once shifting and breaking down. Bringing together a group of artists from across various disciplines, the cohort will be invited to consider what kinds of resources are needed beyond money? How are we making work, and who do we imagine that will change? What is the new relationality that is called for? Grounded in the belief that artists can be the creators of their futures, the group will contend with the "What if…" that we face in this present and beyond.

On July 17, members of this week's cohort deliver a performance conceived of during their time in Waterville with guest curator David Thomson.
