HCAH - DEARBED

The John B. Hurford '60 Center for the Arts and Humanities (HCAH) supports the intellectual and artistic ambitions of faculty, students and staff. They foster collaboration, experimentation, and critical thought through seminars, symposia, research and curricular support, working and reading groups, arts and performance residencies, exhibitions and visual culture programming.

Created by Yoshi Nomura '18 and sponsored by the HCAH and the E. Clyde Lutton 1966 Memorial Fund, DEARBED consists of an ongoing performance across 4/7 and 4/8 for 28 hours, along with an interactive, open exhibition in Founders Great Hall. Photo: Caleb Eckert '17.
