By Elizabeth Shupe (MFA 2014) Today it rained. We woke up to the sound of the water gently swishing down the gutter outside the window and drip-dripping off of the roof. When I stepped outside of the hotel to make my way to breakfast, it seemed Beijing was still half asleep, curled into itself like a contented house cat The rain… Read More

By James Adelman (MFA 2014) So after our action-packed, inspiring, uplifting, perspective-shifting excursion, it’s back to Shanghai and back down to business.

The beginning of… Read More
By Tim Buckley (MFA 2014) Welcome to Halle 18 @ The Spinnerei Dream Land. This is dream land. The time is flying by here in Leipzig.
