Though the global public health situation prohibited an on-ground International Field Program, this studio will nonetheless offer a rich and substantive experience. We will mix lectures, workshops, readings, and work review. It will link strongly with Ethiopia, including readings and lectures on the country’s fascinating history, unique culture, and its current combustive political situation and armed conflict.
