SCIENCE AND SYMBOL: HOW WATER HAS SHAPED AMERICA
How can art serve as a tool to understand science, history and more?
From Niagara Falls and the Hudson River to the great Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, bodies of water have played a significant role in American history, industry, society, and ecology. Join our discussion as we consider the impact of water on America through art that has documented, examined, and influenced public policy.
This session will take place online on March 26th, 2012 at 1 pm ET (Washington, DC) / 6 pm UTC/GMT and last approximately one hour. If you cannot participate live, a recording will be made available following the live event for your use at any time.
