CalArts, Fire Valley, 8–11 am and 4–8 pm each day

INSTITUTE: Taking a global view on issues of “otherness,” this four-day series of conversations, forums, performances, workshops and readings takes place inside a refugee tent—a temporary shelter used at emergency sites in various parts of the world—emplaced in an undeveloped part of the CalArts campus. Organized by Evelyn Serrano, “The Other Project” features dozens of artists, performers, writers and educators.
