Fabricating Color brings together fifteen artists, humanists, social scientists, and scientists for whom color is a lifelong source of fascination. The questions that motivate these speakers speak to the readiness with which the topic of color traverses disciplines. This multidisciplinary conference marks a major assessment of what we know about color and how our research methods help to shape these specific understandings.
