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.

This week, Granfalloon presents two concert readings of Cat’s Cradle, written by Kurt Vonnegut and adapted by John Hildreth. Join us at the Gayle Karch Cook Center at Maxwell Hall on May 7 and 8, starting at 7:30pm each night. A talkback with the College’s Executive Dean Rick Van Kooten and Associate Dean Vivian Halloran will follow the May 7th performance.

Reading groups

This spring, the Theory Center Reading Group devotes itself to a study of Martin Heidegger’s late lectures and essays on Nietzsche, and what Heidegger calls “European nihilism.” Join us each Friday at 2pm at the Gayle Karch Cook Center at Maxwell Hall, room 122.

Exhibitions

This semester, the Grunwald Gallery hosts YOU (probably) HAVEN’T SEEN THIS BEFORE, an exhibition that celebrates historically underrepresented narratives and motion picture practices that challenge and expand the spectrum of what is considered “cinema.” On view from January 17 – March 8.
