The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds Public Programs
The Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds: For a Museum of Errantry with Édouard Glissant unfolds as four Saturday convenings, featuring invited artists whose practices engage Glissant’s thinking, their collaborators and communities, and special musical guests.
