AfterTaste 2015: Inside Imagination (Day 2)

The New School, Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center 66 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, United States

On February 27 & 28, 2015, imagination alchemists, designers and experts gather to think and enact new possibilities and alternative paths through the interior of the imagination.
