An advocate for the arts + humanities

The College Arts and Humanities Institute (CAHI) is a hub for the arts and humanities in the College and on the IU Bloomington campus. We provide funding for College faculty and graduate students; sponsor lectures, workshops, and other events; and bring nationally recognized artists and scholars to campus.

Meet the Artists

We are very sorry to announce that the Women in Dance event scheduled for April 13 has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We do hope to reschedule, and will publicize the new date as soon as we can.

Distinguished Speakers

On March 3, CAHI presents a conversation with Saidiya Hartman at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. Hartman is a scholar of African American literature and cultural history whose works explore the afterlife of slavery in modern American society and bear witness to lives, traumas, and fleeting moments of beauty that historical archives have omitted or obscured.
