The Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination, established in 2018, brings together scholars and artists for a year-long exploration of ideas, creativity, and collaboration. In this episode, we delve into the vibrant intersection of intellectual rigor and artistic expression at the core of the Institute, with Mark Mazower, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Director, and Marie d’Origny, the Paris Director. They discuss the Institute’s dynamic scholarly initiatives, the cross-disciplinary connections it fosters, and the engaging encounters that take place at its regular public events.
