The Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, and Middlebury College’s Mahaney Center for the Arts proudly present an exclusive first-look at VSO Awardee Robin Starbuck’s new short film, “How We See Water,” an experimental documentary that explores the intersections of indigenous history and contemporary life in Chiapas, Mexico through the lives of two young women who work to gain education and independence. Featuring live accompaniment by the VSO and an original score by Middlebury alumnus and composer Matt LaRocca ‘02.

Join us for a lecture and Q&A by Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo.  She will be discussing her installation Minimum Monument: Art as Emergency.

Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo brings her internationally known “Minimum Monument” event to Middlebury. With help from students, faculty, staff and members of the Middlebury community, she will install 300+ ice sculptures (little men and women) outside Davis Library. And then we will leave them to melt… or will we? A visual metaphor for climate change, Azevedo’s work challenges the traditional meaning of the public monument: “in the place of the hero, the anonym; in the place of the solidity of the stone, the ephemeral process of the ice.” A community event not to be missed.
