Art Institute in the Community: Inspired by our new season of events 360 Degrees: Art beyond Borders, this episode takes a look at global culture seen at the local level. Hear about the intermingling of art and culture from our partners at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Poetry Foundation, and listen to performances by Yang Wei from the Silk Road Ensemble and Alfonso Ponticelli of Swing Gitan. Both musicians will be performing at the season’s opening day festivities.

Exhibition Focus: Exhibition curator David Travis shares his personal recollections of the photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson and reveals some of the inspiration behind the exhibition Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Art and Photography of Paris.

What’s New: See the exhibition Benin—Kings and Rituals: Court Arts from Nigeria before it closes on September 21, and hear about the museum’s return to its fall hours.
