New Public Forum

New Public Forum is a series of student-led lectures and demonstrations held at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, aimed at instituting public dialogue between various fields as they evolve and adapt to a changing world. With actions and words, we attempt to rattle or dismount the stability of entrenched systems and constructs, speculating on evolving approaches to creative and technical disciplines. The series will highlight critical practices that synthesize historical and current developments with an emphasis on speculation over retrospective preoccupation. The program constitutes a public forum for exchange, towards new critical approaches across fields and geographies.
