About this Event

Co-sponsored by the and .

To be notified of upcoming Paris Global Center events, we invite you to.

This year’s theme, Neighbors, invites us to explore the ties that connect us—both locally and globally, from relationships in our Montparnasse community, to reflecting on the broader meaning of welcoming others in the context of the global migrant crisis.

Throughout the afternoon, immerse yourself in a vibrant array of activities designed for children and families, including concerts, theater workshops, and an art exhibit showcasing creations from local schools. Engage in interactive sessions like partner yoga and community games, alongside thought-provoking exhibits and performances that explore themes of migration and solidarity.

The night will conclude with a collective musical performance and a convivial reception.

Imagine with us what it means to be a neighbor in today’s world.

Stay tuned for the full program.

Nuit de l’Imagination

The theme of the third annual Nuit de l’Imagination is "Neighbors," following the previous themes of "Climate" and "Boredom." Organized by the Columbia Global Paris Center and Institute for Ideas and Imagination, this yearly event highlights our work and collaborations around timely and relevant topics. It serves as an opportunity to engage both our internal and external communities in a celebratory atmosphere. The event schedule includes daytime activities such as academic conferences, professional workshops, and children's programs, culminating in a headline evening event—a public performance, concert, or lecture—related to the theme of the year.

Organizers

The , established at Reid Hall in 2010, is one of Columbia University’s eleven global centers. It aims to promote research, teaching, and transnational collaboration. Through its scholarly and cultural programming, its Atelier podcast, and its civic engagement initiatives, the Paris Global Center strengthens Columbia University’s connections in France and internationally while providing a platform for intellectual exploration of social and environmental issues in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

Each year the brings together a cohort of 14-15 Fellows, half of them Columbia faculty and post-docs, the other half artists and writers from around the world, to spend a year together in work and conversation. The Institute fosters intellectual and creative diversity unconstrained by medium and discipline through the interaction of the arts and academia.

brings together major global initiatives from across the university including the Columbia Global Centers, Columbia World Projects, the Committee on Global Thought, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, and Undergraduate Global Engagement.

Venue

Nestled in the Montparnasse district, Reid Hall hosts several Columbia University initiatives: the Columbia Global Paris Center, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination, the Columbia Undergraduate Programs, the M.A. in History and Literature, and the GSAPP Shape of Two Cities Program. This unique combination of resources is enhanced by our global network whose mission is to expand the University's engagement with the world through educational programs, research initiatives, regional partnerships, and public events.

This event will take place in Reid Hall’s Grande Salle Ginsberg-LeClerc, built in 1912 and extensively renovated in 2023 thanks to the generous support of Judith Ginsberg and Paul LeClerc.
