    Join Columbia University Professor Robert Klitzman for an illustrated lecture that will explore the history of combining species and genes in science and visual art. As scientists experiment with genetically modified species to improve human life, we are faced with fundamental questions about what it means to be “natural.” Klitzman will share his insights into this dilemma by surveying human-animal depictions in art through time, from ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology to Northwest Pacific Indian totem poles, Rubens, Picasso, and even Spiderman, showing how art can help us move forward into a brave new world
