Emerging Ideas on Art and Society: Nato Thompson

Harvard University Committee on the Arts (HUCA) presents Emerging Ideas on Art and Society, which invites an artist, a thinker, or a critic to come and share their doubts, questions, incomplete thoughts, and challenges about what art and society are today. A small group of students and faculty will gather to have an informal but intense conversation with the guest. A short text will be shared in advance to inform the conversation. While we expect active interventions, the guest leads the dramaturgy of the event with the questions they bring to the table that day. 

This conversation’s guest is Nato Thompson. Nato Thompson is a curator, author, and entrepreneur whose work bridges contemporary art, politics, and culture. He is the founder of Dreaming in Public, a curatorial and consulting agency, and the co-founder of The Alternative Art School (TAAS), a global digital platform for artists.
