Cranbrook Academy of Art is a living system. Our ecology is dynamic and doesn’t follow a distinct path or linear course, and change can come rapidly or it can be seeded slowly. Our permeable pedagogy means we can be responsive to what is happening in the fields of contemporary art, design, and architecture. In its eighth season, the [FALL] Lecture Series at Cranbrook Academy of Art asks our visitors to consider the consequences of globalization on creative practice and social engagement—from issues of cultural homogenization to the politicized body to neo-liberalism—and question how pressure for global cultures and multiple identities fuels the communication of ideas.

Cranbrook Academy of Art
Cranbrook Academy of Art is the country’s top ranked, graduate-only program in architecture, design and fine art. Each year, just 75 students are invited to study and live on our landmark Saarinen-designed campus, which features private studios, state-of-the art workshops, a renowned Art Museum, and 300 acres of forests, lakes, and streams, all a short drive from the red-hot art, design, and music scene of Detroit. The focus at Cranbrook is on studio practice in one of ten disciplines: Architecture, 2D and 3D Design, Ceramics, Fiber, Metalsmithing, Painting, Photography, Print Media, and Sculpture. The program is anchored by celebrated Artists- and Designers-in-Residence, one for each discipline, all of whom live and practice on campus alongside our students.
