Atelier

A catalogue raisonné could be considered as an act of recovery, built from scattered archives, family memory, and chance encounters. Tracking an artist's full body of work means deciding, piece by piece, whether something is destroyed or simply unlocated, and living with the uncertainty that distinction requires.In this episode, art historian Erika Schneider discusses her years-long project to build a digital catalogue raisonné of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller's work, now spanning more than 265 sculptures across twenty public collections. Schneider describes mapping Fuller's life and career using ArcGIS, her method for sourcing fragmentary addresses and exhibition records in Paris, and her 2022 Panorama article examining the deletions and corrections Fuller made to her own scrapbook. She also traces the aftermath of the 1910 fire that destroyed much of Fuller's early work, including the fate of The Impenitent Thief, and reflects on her ongoing conversations with Fuller's descendants as new pieces and archives continue to surface.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller. Across these conversations, we bring together scholars, curators, and other special guests to revisit her legacy and situate it within its historical moment.The symposium and podcast series were made possible with support from the Columbia Global Paris Center and the Terra Foundation for American Art, and with the participation of the Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Danforth Art Museum at Framingham State University.Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Robert Schumann’s Rêverie performed by Magdalena Stern-BaczewskaThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

Art history has long organized itself around movements and groupings that determine whose work gets taught, preserved, and remembered. When the gaps in that history align with race, gender, and geography, what gets lost is structural.In this episode, artist and academic Catherine Hahn discusses how she first encountered Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller in a fifteen-minute segment of a Harlem Renaissance course at SOAS in 1993, and how that encounter eventually led her to create a dedicated undergraduate module at the University of Kent. Hahn offers a close reading of Secret Sorrow, also known as Man Eating His Heart, tracing its relationship to Stephen Crane's 1895 symbolist poem In the Desert and arguing that the story of Fuller's visit to Rodin belongs to Fuller, not to him. She also closes with an urgent note on the ongoing collapse of arts education in British universities, and what is at stake when a newly diversified curriculum is dismantled before it takes root.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.

More than a cultural flourishing, the Harlem Renaissance was a deliberate act of remaking the image of Black America at a moment when it was suppressed and rendered invisible by the mainstream art world. For the women artists at its center, that effort operated under an additional pressure: the expectation that marriage and family should take precedence over a professional artistic career.In this episode, Denise Murrell, curator-at-large at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, discusses Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller's place at the founding of the Harlem Renaissance and the transatlantic currents that shaped her most significant works. Murrell offers close readings of Ethiopia Awakening and In Memory of Mary Turner as a Silent Protest Against Mob Violence, tracing their formal debt to Rodin and their engagement with the aesthetics of the African continent. She also reflects on why Fuller's refusal to choose between artistic vocation and family life makes her a founding figure not only in sculpture, but in the history of women's self-determination. Murrell's exhibitions include The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet to Matisse at Columbia University's Wallach Art Gallery and the Musée d'Orsay.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.

Museums rarely build a permanent space around a single artist's life, but doing so can transform how an institution understands its own collection. The Danforth Art Museum's relationship to Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, whose family gifted nearly 400 works to the museum in 2006, has evolved through building a hard-won permanent gallery and a recreated studio space modeled on a single surviving photograph.In this episode, Jessica Roscio, director and curator at the Danforth Art Museum, and Rachel Passannante, the museum's associate curator, discuss how they built Fuller's permanent gallery after the museum's 2019 relocation, the ongoing research challenges posed by undocumented and unattributed works, and their continued relationship with the Fuller family, including descendant David Fuller in Framingham. They describe the 1910 fire that destroyed much of Fuller's early body of work, the recovery of her career through later commissions including Ethiopia Awakening, and the more than century-old scrapbook recently donated to the museum, now digitized and accessible through the Danforth's website.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.

Founded on what its creator called "vindicated evidence," the Schomburg holds one of the most comprehensive collections of Black art in any public institution — including diaries, correspondence, photographs, poetry, and sculptures by Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.In this episode, Crystal Moten, Associate Director of Collections at the Schomburg Center, and Tammi Lawson, curator of the Art and Artifacts Division, discuss how the Center's radical commitment to public access has shaped the recovery of Fuller's legacy, from the two life-size casts of Ethiopia Awakening on permanent display to the manuscript collection that holds her diaries and letters. They reflect on the intellectual labor of Black women artists during the Harlem Renaissance, drawing on Crystal Moten's research on Black women's work, and on the role of speculative thinking in filling the gaps that incomplete archives leave behind, drawing on Saidiya Hartman's framework. They also trace a lineage of Black women sculptors from Fuller through Augusta Savage, Elizabeth Catlett, and Simone Leigh, arguing that Fuller's work was not simply a beginning, but a vanguard.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.

In this episode, Kellie Jones, Hans Hoffman Professor of Modern Art at Columbia University and MacArthur Fellow, and Heather Nickels, independent curator and doctoral candidate at Columbia, discuss Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller's place within African American art history, the structural conditions that shaped her access to sculpture as a medium, and what was lost — in practice and in the historical record — when her stored works were destroyed by fire in 1910.Drawing comparisons with Edmonia Lewis and Augusta Savage, they examine how class, gender, colorism, and the lack of a comprehensive catalogue raisonné have all affected Fuller's canonization. They also reflect on what Paris offered her — both artistic freedom and distance from the gendered expectations she would return to — and on the ongoing work needed to bring her work into the permanent collections of encyclopedic institutions, whether in New England, in Philadelphia, or beyond.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.

At the turn of the twentieth century, Paris drew young American artists with the promise of training unavailable at home. For African American artists, it also promised an escape from the racism that governed their professional lives in the United States, though that promise was not always kept.In this episode, art historian Renée Ater discusses Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller's three formative years in Paris, from her arrival in 1899 and the discrimination she faced at the American Girls' Art Club, to her training under sculptors including Jean-Antonin Carlès, her encounter with Rodin's work at the 1900 Universal Exposition, and the recognition she earned at Siegfried Bing's L'Art Nouveau gallery in 1902. Ater draws on her dissertation and her 2010 monograph, Remaking Race and History: The Sculpture of Meta Warrick Fuller, as well as her ongoing digital archive at slaverymonuments.org, to trace how works like Silent Sorrow and The Wretched reflect Fuller's absorption of Rodin's expressive modeling and her own deepening engagement with themes of human suffering.This special series of Atelier was produced in conjunction with a three-day symposium dedicated to celebrating the work and life of Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller.

When the frameworks built to translate lived injustice into legal and political power come under direct assault, the question of how — and whether — to speak becomes a matter of survival. In this episode, recorded live at Reid Hall, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law at Columbia University joins Keithley Woolward, associate director of the Columbia M.A. in History and Literature to discuss her memoir Backtalker, written in part at Reid Hall during her 2022 Faculty Visitorship.She traces the throughline from a churchgoing childhood in Canton, Ohio, through the sudden deaths of her father and brother, the segregationist instincts hiding inside her "integrated" schooling, and the article Mapping the Margins that coined intersectionality, to the political theater of the O.J. Simpson trial and the Anita Hill hearings she witnessed firsthand. Throughout, she returns to the book's title concept: backtalking as a refusal of imposed silence, and a deliberate act of historical and political reclamation.Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

While being a universal experience, sleep remains a poorly understood biological necessity whose mechanisms, disruptions, and cultural meanings have occupied scientists, philosophers, and artists for centuries. In this episode, recorded live at Reid Hall during the Nuit de l'imagination, concert pianist and harpsichordist Magdalena Stern‑Baczewska and sleep physician Jordan Stern trace the intersection of music and medicine through their decade‑long collaboration.Stern outlines the scale of undiagnosed sleep apnea, the limits of pharmaceutical treatment for insomnia, and what neuroscience has and has not resolved about dreaming. Stern‑Baczewska, senior lecturer in music at Columbia University, director of its music performance program, and 2025 – 2026 Fellow of the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, explains how she approached the interpretive challenge of creating music intended not to engage but to release, drawing from her earliest memories of hearing her mother practice during childhood naps. The conversation closes with a live lullaby concert performed at Reid Hall, recorded as part of the evening's program.Organized by the Columbia Global Paris Center and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, each year the Nuit de l’Imagination chooses a theme of global importance (Climate in 2023, Boredom in 2024, Neighbors in 2025) as a celebration of the work and collaborations that define Reid Hall.Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

What can a drawing do that a photograph cannot? In an era of collapsing newsrooms and widespread distrust of the press, comics journalism has emerged as a form of reporting that slows the reader down, grants access to spaces traditional journalists cannot enter, and protects the anonymity of those whose stories most need telling. In this episode, Aubrey Gabel, assistant professor of French at Columbia and Fellow of the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, maps the landscape of French bande dessinée as a space for serious reportage. She traces the medium's political genealogy, examines how the illustrator's hand enriches the notion of objectivity, and asks what it means that, in France, one in four books sold is a comic.

What happens when a physician steps outside the system she knows and begins to observe another, not as a critic, but as a learner? In this episode, Dr. Mirna Giordano reflects on what a visit to Paris's leading children's hospitals has revealed about how pediatric care is organized, communicated, and experienced across two very different healthcare cultures.A pediatric hospitalist and faculty at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Dr. Giordano has spent over two decades co‑managing pediatric neurosurgical patients and researching opioid‑sparing treatment outcomes. She discusses the emergence of pediatric hospital medicine as a subspecialty in the United States, the structural and legal forces that shape documentation practices, the growing medical complexity of children who survive extreme prematurity and chronic disease, and the more fluid team dynamics she observed at Necker and Bicêtre hospitals in Paris. She also reflects on what it means to practice medicine as a calling, and on returning from her Reid Hall Faculty Visitorship carrying something she had not anticipated: the desire to do things a little differently.Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

Cross-border journalism has reshaped investigative reporting over the past two decades — but as the model matures, it faces real pressure: inequities between partners, funding strain, and the question of whether collaboration can remain both ambitious and sustainable. Recorded live at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia, this episode brings together three leading practitioners to examine what makes transnational investigations work and what must change. Marina Walker Guevara of the Pulitzer Center, Laurent Richard of Forbidden Stories, and Hoda Osman of Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism draw on recent projects to discuss trust, equity, digital security, and the future of a model that, at its best, ensures no story dies with the journalist who started it.Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, Charlotte Force, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

Description: Recorded live at Reid Hall in Paris as part of the annual Saving Journalism Conference, this episode brings together journalists, researchers, legal experts, and content creators to examine one of the most consequential shifts in the modern media landscape: the rise of the influencer. What does it mean when influencers drive more political engagement than journalists? Who is accountable when political money flows invisibly through social media? And in an era of algorithmic opacity, AI-generated fakes, and billionaire-owned legacy media, is independent creator-led journalism a threat to democracy — or its best remaining hope?This episode features:Moderator Emily Bell, founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School, Julia Angwin, founder and CEO of Proof NewsTaylor Owen, Beaverbrook Chair in Media, Ethics and Communications at McGill UniversityAlice Cappelle, video journalist and authorAllia Mohamed, co-founder of Openigloo and content creatorEric Munch, legal analyst at the European Audiovisual ObservatoryWebsite - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, Charlotte Force, Tessa Overvoorde, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

In the high-stakes world of pediatric heart transplantation, every saved life is inseparable from another family’s loss. In this episode, Dr. Teresa Lee reflects on the ethical and emotional dimensions of caring for children with heart failure and guiding families through transplant. Drawing inspiration from Maylis de Kerangal’s novel Réparer les vivants, she explores what it means to honor donor families, to sit at the threshold between life and death, and to “repair the living” in more ways than one.A pediatric cardiologist and physician-scientist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Dr. Lee also discusses how her research on the genetic causes of cardiomyopathy is shaped directly by the patients she serves. From evolving her own emotional boundaries to finding rare moments of silence and reflection during her time as a Faculty Visitor at Reid Hall in Paris, she offers a meditation on medicine not only as science, but as a practice of care.Further reading:https://healthmatters.nyp.org/amazing-things-jenna-skeete/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/nyregion/nyc-nurses-strike-patients-children.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/01/well/90-minutes-to-give-baby-luna-a-new-heart.htmlWebsite - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisNewsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHost: Marie DoezemaProduction: Marie Doezema, James Allen, Charlotte Force, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

New York-born Alice Morgan Wright was a sculptor, writer, suffragist, and early adopter of Cubism and Futurism. Living at the Girls’ Art Club in Paris, she not only exhibited in major Salons but also turned the studio into a hub of feminist activism—inviting Emmeline Pankhurst to speak and joining the militant suffrage movement in London.

Cincinnati-born Florence Esté found her artistic voice in France, where she became a celebrated painter and watercolorist. A fixture in the Paris art scene from the late 1800s through the early 20th century, she exhibited widely—from the Paris Salons to women-led art clubs. Finding artistic inspiration in Brittany, particularly St. Briac, she spent summers capturing its coastal beauty. Although her work was also showcased in the U.S, and received great critical acclaim, Esté chose to remain in France for the rest of her life.More on Florence Esté: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/florence-may-esteThe Reid Hall History Project continues to grow, enriched by the contributions of numerous collaborators: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.eduFind us elsewhere:Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisGet our newsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisFacebook - facebook.com/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHosts: Brunhilde Biebuyck and Marie DoezemaProduction: James Allen, Brunhilde Biebuyck, Marie Doezema, Krista Faurie, Charlotte Force, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.

Grace Gassette was an American portraitist, nurse, and inventor whose impact spanned both the art world and wartime medicine. Born in Illinois, she moved to Paris in 1896, studying under Mary Cassatt and exhibiting her work in prestigious Paris salons. When World War I broke out, she managed the surgical dressing department at the American Hospital in Paris, where she invented orthopedic devices to aid wounded soldiers, earning her the Legion of Honor in 1917. After the war, she shifted her focus to rehabilitation and spiritual healing, eventually settling in a 14th-century convent in Yvelines, France. In her later years, she returned to New York, reflecting on a life dedicated to both artistic and humanitarian pursuits.More on Grace Gassette: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/grace-gassette-1871-1955The Reid Hall History Project continues to grow, enriched by the contributions of numerous collaborators: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.eduFind us elsewhere:Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisGet our newsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisFacebook - facebook.com/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHosts: Brunhilde Biebuyck and Marie DoezemaProduction: James Allen, Brunhilde Biebuyck, Marie Doezema, Krista Faurie, Charlotte Force, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.
