Picture this—you’re drowning in work, stressed out of your mind, and have been sitting in a cubicle on the second floor of Lamont for the past four hours. It’s finals season, and that’s what finals season calls for… right? Wrong. You have options, I promise. As the weather gets warmer and April showers become a […]
This past weekend, arts groups across campus were busy sharing their talent and work from all over the world with our Harvard community. This week, we’ll be highlighting four student-run performances that wowed their audiences on Friday and Saturday. The Harvard Undergraduate Candela Latin Dance Troupe Annual Showcase: “Un Viaje Por El Mundo” This past […]
Painted lehengas and Parle-G cookie boxes adorn wooden set panels of the Agassiz—affectionately dubbed the “Ag.” Bollywood vocals mixed with piano, guitar, and percussion echo through the theater. Spots, PAR cans, and Fresnels illuminate the stage. 12 dancers in classical Indian attire stand in four lines. The first dance of Ghungroo 2025 is about to […]
Walls of glass beads, each colored strand hugging the next as they hang from the ceiling. A pile of rotting fruit on a wooden desk, connected by long wires to speakers emanating a low and melodic hum.

A loaf of bread, strobe lights, and a hunk of concrete—not every museum exhibit can claim to contain all these objects in one room. But the Harvard Art Museums’ new show, “Wolf Vostell: Dé-coll/age Is Your Life,” can, and does. The exhibition chronologically leads viewers through the development of the work of German artist Wolf […]

A ray of sun lands on her hair, creating a prism of light at her shoulders. This photo and close-looking exercise began “Seeing […]
“We’ll have edibles for you on the way out,” moderator Khalil Gibran Muhammad jokingly promised at the start of the Institute of Politics JFK Forum Event on Wednesday, April 12th.
