A Fresh Chapter: The Movement Lab Welcomes You Back

This fall marks an exciting new phase for the Movement Lab. With a new Faculty Director -- Kadambari Baxi –  and updated equipment, we’re entering the year ready to support fresh experiments, creative research, and collaborative projects. While our programming is more focused during this transitional semester, we’re excited to deepen our collaborations with the Barnard community to imagine new ways of activating the Lab’s unique capabilities.
