This May, the Belkin Art Gallery is pleased to be participating in the 2013 PWIAS International Roundtable Discussions through A Biocultural Hinge: Theorizing Affect and Emotion Across Disciplines.

As part of this Roundtable, please join a concert by Rachel Iwaasa, a pianist known for bold and innovative concerts, who will present an evening of Mozart and Beethoven together with De Profundis, a piano and spoken word piece by American composer Frederic Rzewski.

A Biocultural Hinge: Theorizing Affect and Emotion Across Disciplines, organized by Adam Frank, UBC Department of English and Shelly Rosenblum, UBC Belkin Art Gallery, explores questions surrounding the recent interest in the emotions, which has been evident across a wide range of disciplines such as philosophy, literary criticism, sociology, geography, history, anthropology, academic and clinical psychology, the neurosciences, and the visual and performing arts.
