This question has animated Adi Nochur for the entirety of his academic and professional careers. From starting as an Environmental Studies major and a student activist on the Tufts campus, to advocating for federal climate policy in Washington, DC, to now advancing regional urban planning and transportation solutions in his native Greater Boston area, Adi will share lessons learned and insights gained from over 20 years of climate and sustainability work across multiple issues, scales, and sectors—from walkability to brownfields, from local to international, from non-profit to government. He will also speak to the power of arts and planning as tools to drive sustainable change, and he encourages lecture attendees to discover their inner urban planner as well.

Admission/Cost: Free Event Contact Name: Sophie Cloherty Event Contact Email: sophie.cloherty@tufts.edu Please join us at the SMFA for a talk and Q&A by visiting artist Chitra Ganesh! Across a twenty-year practice, Chitra Ganesh has developed an expansive body of work rooted in drawing and painting, which has evolved to encompass animations, wall drawings, collages, computer generated imagery, video, and sculpture. Through studies in literature, semiotics, social theory, science fiction, and historical and mythic texts, Ganesh attempts to reconcile representations of femininity, sexuality, and power absent from the artistic and literary canons. She often draws on Hindu and Buddhist iconography and South Asian forms such as Kalighat and Madhubani, and is currently negotiating her relationship to these images with the rise of right wing fundamentalism in India. Open to Tufts university students, faculty, and staff.

The implications for what we can do numerically are enormous. This talk will outline the algorithm and demonstrate its application to a collection of problems. We can also use it to demonstrate the potential theory that underlies the theory of rational approximation, a topic that goes back to Joseph Walsh at Harvard nearly a century ago.

Admission/Cost: Free Event Contact Name: Sophie Cloherty Event Contact Email: sophie.cloherty@tufts.edu Please join us at the SMFA for a talk and Q&A by visiting artist Kianja Strobert! Kianja is known for dynamic explorations of acrylic, ink, and other materials that have established her as an innovative voice in contemporary abstraction. Her mixed-media sculptures and works on paper share a coarseness of texture and an expressive line. Strobert’s work translates the world into energetic planes of color, rendered in thick but refined brushstrokes that keep the eye in constant motion. The suggestion of movement or fluctuation results from the reactions of her various materials to their structural supports. Open to Tufts university students, faculty, and staff.
