This one-day multilingual event invites students, scholars, artists and professionals to come together to question the interplay between the human imagination and our diverse forms of cultural expression. We’re looking forward to presentations on topics ranging from film to visual arts and as diverse as graphic novels and Haiku poetry. These will be highlighted by an art exhibition, a theater performance and keynote presentation: “The Many Faces of Translation in Popular Music” by Dr. Şebnem Susam-Saraeva from the University of Edinburgh.

From Huffington Post: What Medical Students Can Learn From Art Museums
In this article from the Huffington Post (2/12/16), Priscilla Frank writes:
“A hospital is not just a laboratory. A patient is not simply a diagnosis. And medicine is often more than a science…. And while art may not seem like the most essential aspect of a medical curriculum, amidst a stream of facts, diagrams, equations and machines, its value is critical. Standing before a carved sarcophagus from 350 B.C. can communicate the unspeakable magnitude of death and dying more than a textbook ever could.”
Good thing CALA offers a variety of non-credit art history courses every semester, many of which include visits to NYC galleries and museums. For a current list of art courses click here.
