CIRCA Catalyst is an ongoing UMBC series promoting conversations around transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research that fuses the performing and visual arts with other fields of inquiry and scholarship. A catered lunch, with vegetarian options, will be provided by CIRCA (the Center for Innovation, Research and Creativity in the Arts).

This event will feature artists Cathy Cook and Lynne Parks. Professor Cook is producing a documentary on Whooping Cranes with the aid of the Imaging Research Center, and Lynne Park’s work with “Lights Out Baltimore” examines firsthand the devastating toll lights and windows play in bird deaths.

Admission is free.
