The strangest year we’ve experienced, how we came out on the other side, and how the arts helped us find our community during a time of increased isolation.

The second program season for the Brown Arts Initiative. As in our inaugural year, we had the privilege of working with an exceptional roster of artists and scholars in varied genres who shared their practices, ideas and insights with our campus and local community.

This report documents our inaugural program season, our process of discovery and what we learned from the many individuals who shared their insights, talents and provocations with us.
