Artist Mel Chin at Science and Lit Symposium! @ UMFA (April 14 - 16)

Utah Symposium in Science and Literature
Wednesday, April 12–Friday, April 14 | FREE*
UMFA Katherine W. and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr. Auditorium
We believe we shape the world around us to fit our needs. Or do we?

If we accept that human beings are part of nature, not separate from it, how do we bring human nature to bear in a positive way on our built environment?

Join the discussion as poet Cole Swensen, biologist John Marzluff, and visual-environmental artist Mel Chin consider these questions.

*Registration is suggested for guaranteed seating.

Free parking is available for evening events.
