    Roomful of Teeth and Allison Loggins-Hull, Flute/Electronics

    Friction is a genre-breaking sound world brought to life in this Vermont premiere by composer and flutist Allison Loggins-Hull, in collaboration with the two-time GRAMMY-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth. This debut collaboration weaves a striking tapestry of songs, composed by Loggins-Hull, delving into the intricate dance between the forces that shape us. Those forces—our influences, inheritances, relationships—like friction itself, generate both light and heat, and have the capacity to reveal our greatest strengths and most closely held flaws.

  • Carol Rifelj Lecture Series - Recycling the Apocalypse: Resurrection, Adaption, and Sacred Fragments on Medieval Iceland

    Robyn Barrow, History of Art & Architecture  
    Recycling the Apocalypse: Resurrection, Adaption, and Sacred Fragments on Medieval Iceland
    On medieval Iceland, which visitors conceptualized as the very mouth of hell, drastic environmental change and resource scarcity was not a sign of apocalypse, but a daily lived experience. The island is subject to extreme weather and geothermal activity that renders any material production, particularly architecture, deeply unstable.

    The Magic of Reality: Cameron Visiting Artist Lecture by Bernadette Despujols

    Rooted in personal memory and political transformation, my work explores identity, motherhood, migration, and the blurred boundaries between the real and the magical. Through intimate portraits and narratives drawn from my Venezuelan upbringing, my work reflects on nostalgia, displacement, and the spiritual traditions that shape Latin American life. I seek to weave together autobiographical and collective histories; where the personal becomes political, and where womanhood, nature, and creation converge in both tenderness and resistant.
