Current Perspectives Lecture Series: Alumni Visiting Artist Sean Starowitz

Join us for a compelling talk by KCAI alum, Sean Starowitz (‘10 Interdisciplinary Arts), whose work examines the intersection of climate change, technology, and the human experience. Through drawing, sculpture, and moving image, Starowitz challenges the idea of humans as mere observers, revealing the complex relationship between time, nature, and collapse. His practice invites us to rethink our role in a shifting landscape and imagine new possibilities within the perception of environmental ruin.

This event is free and open to the public.
