Columbia GSAPP Lecture: Rozana Montiel | January 22
Hear a lecture from architect Rozana Montiel, the founder of ROZANA MONTIEL | ESTUDIO DE ARQUITECTURA and the 2017 recipient of the Moira Gemmill prize. Her interdisciplinary work has been published in renowned architectural digests, as well as exhibited in Mexico, Spain, France, United States, England and China.

The Postmodern Phenomenon: from failure to fashion-forward | January 24
Join design historian and author Judith Gura for a presentation about her book “Postmodern Design Complete: Design, Furniture, Graphics, Architecture, Interiors” at the New York School of Interior Design. Gura will discuss the history, designers, and iconic designs of the Postmodern movement, and the reasons behind its current revival. The presentation will be followed by a conversation moderated by Metropolis creative director Paul Makovsky.
Derrick Adams: Sanctuary | Opening on January 25
Opening at the Museum of Arts and Design, the can't-miss exhibition “Derrick Adams: Sanctuary” features 50 works by multi-disciplinary artist Derrick Adams. From mixed-media collages to sculptures, Adams' works “reimagine safe destinations for the black American traveler during the mid-twentieth century”. The exhibition “reflects on the plight of working-class black people before and during the Civil Rights Movement, and their determination to pursue the same American Dream afforded to others”.
Items: Is Fashion Modern? | Closing on January 28
It's the last week for “Items: Is Fashion Modern?”! This MoMA exhibition explores the past, present, and future of 99 iconic garments, accessories, and other items that have made a significant social impact in the 20th and 21st centuries.
