NYU Ideation and Prototyping Session 04: Creation and Creators.

Announcements

  • NBCUniversal Blockchain Prototyping Fellowship: Content Monetization. NYC-based students are invited to apply in and build new prototypes that can advance blockchain technologies for media. 
  • Black Writers in a Post-Obama America, Tuesday, February 27th. Join us for a panel discussion hosted by the Brooklyn Historical Society. This panel begs the question, does literature by black writers demand a response to the country’s racism? Especially today, is there an onus on writers of color to shine a spotlight on racial injustice? Hear from authors Kaitlyn Greenidge, Bernice McFadden, Garnette Cadogan, and Quincy Troupe in a discussion moderated by novelist and Distinguished Professor at Hunter College, Elizabeth Nunez. A reception will precede the panel discussion. The reception will begin at 5:30 pm and the program will begin at 6:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served. To RSVP, please call 212-998-2400 or fill out the online form.
