Dialogue & New Directions is a digital newsletter from the Research and Academic Program to make visible to our community of past fellows and a wider public the extraordinary scholars, artists, curators, and visionaries who come to the Clark. Our work in RAP is grounded in bringing the solitary practices of research and writing into collective dialogue. In this newsletter, we share these conversations with you.
