Members of the campus community are invited to attend a free screening of the new documentary film, Between the Folds, on Thursday, July 30th at 1PM in the Gold Theatre of the UNCSA film village. The film lasts 1 hr.The film’s director, Vanessa Gould, writes in the Director’s Statement: “At its heart, Between The Folds is a film about potential. The potential of an uncut paper square. The potential of a wild scientific idea. The potential to see things differently. For as long as I can remember, the concepts of art, science and math have seemed deeply connected - three ways of interpreting our experiences in a language that's universal. When I first learned about the strange phenomenon of artists, scientists and mathematicians from all over the world working in the very same medium of origami, I knew there had to be something special about it - that in the simplicity of a square must be hiding some untold potential for creativity and new ideas . . .” For more on the film, visit: http://www.greenfusefilms.com/statement.html
The screening is part of a four-day ARTStem Summer Seminar. ARTStem is a new year-long initiative bringing UNCSA faculty together with public school educators to explore teaching and learning at the intersection of the arts and STEM disciplines of science, math, engineering, and technology. ARTStem is a project of the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts, whose mission is to incubate projects that sustain artists at every point in their creative development through strategic partnerships that capitalize on visionary thinking in the arts.
