In anticipation of the official opening in September, The Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia University’s School of Journalism hosted a reception this past week organized by Mark Hansen, the Brown Institute’s Director, for the project team and stakeholders. As part of the event, Marc Tsurumaki signed the space. In addition, artist Shantell Martin has begun a commissioned mural that wraps the project’s staircase in a continuous wall drawing. The mural will be completed as a live performance during the Brown Institute’s Fall opening.
