The 2022–23 public programs and engagement series at Columbia University School of the Arts was organized around the concept of To Transform. Gavin Browning produced conversations, screenings, and readings about work that enacts transformation on physical, social, political, and psychic landscapes — exploring the complexities that ensue. Featuring Duke Riley, Tania Bruguera, Margo Jefferson, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Zayd Ayers Dohrn, Jamal Joseph, Carol Becker, and the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by New York-based composer, musician and producer Hahn Rowe, Something about the Weather.
