Repair:
Fall 2020 Public Programs and Engagement
Traversing media and disciplines, the 2020–21 season of Public Programs and Engagement at Columbia University School of the Arts will focus on the concept of Repair.

Image: Kantha is a quilting tradition of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, in which pieces of worn fabric—often from saris or dhotis—are layered, embroidered, and held together with running stitches. This work was commissioned by Columbia University School of the Arts for the Fall 2020 series of Public Programs and Engagement. It was quilted by Cynthia Director.
