As we pass into a new year, we look ahead but that means we also reflect the past. Tonight's collage is of the movement from dark to light, displaying the violence of history, but streams as well with the minute particulars of art and how we read culture, and who we trust. This program takes its time but changes constantly, just like we all should.
