Either in abundance or in short supply, thought is the foundation of the human experience We think in words, but also sounds, smells, impressions; in splashes of color and body language and feeling. In her new book Mind in Motion: How Action Shapes Thought, Barbara Tversky, Professor of Psychology & Education at Columbia, seeks to uncover how this kaleidoscope of wordless thought influences culture, architecture, language, and more. Join us on Thursday, August 1st for a deep dive into the way abstract thought shapes our world!

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
