The Harvard Undergraduate Candela Latin Dance Troupe Annual Showcase: “Un Viaje Por El Mundo” This past weekend, Harvard’s premier Latin dance troupe took the stage at the Harvard Dance Center for their annual showcase.
Underground at the Ag
BY: SARA KUMAR ’27 AND SACHI LAUMAS ’26 Painted lehengas and Parle-G cookie boxes adorn wooden set panels of the Agassiz—affectionately dubbed the “Ag.” Bollywood vocals mixed with piano, guitar, and percussion echo through the theater. Spots, PAR cans, and Fresnels illuminate the stage. 12 dancers in classical Indian attire stand in four lines. The first dance of Ghungroo 2025 is about to begin.
“Foreigners Everywhere:” A Weekend at the Venice Biennale
Walls of glass beads, each colored strand hugging the next as they hang from the ceiling. A pile of rotting fruit on a wooden desk, connected by long wires to speakers emanating a low and melodic hum. In a room that’s all chalkboard, names link in a never-ending tree stretching from floor to ceiling. A fountain with a Greek-looking bust in the middle, red lasers and water spurting from her eyes.
Long Days in Argyle
The strumming of a guitar fills the silence. Her arm touched his elbow ten minutes ago. It hasn’t touched it since, and she inched her body away from him a whole two minutes ago. Her gaze fixates on the opposite wall. As he moves his hand to grip his glass, some of his sweater brushes her upper arm. Her gaze narrows. He grips his glass tighter.
Puff and Talk - Harvard Independent
Francis’ neck craned back as he lifted the glass to his thin, pursed lips, shaking it to savor the last drops. The ice cubes clinked against the sides of the glass. The wind chimes from the patio echoed the noise. His companion’s glass sat untouched. Francis rose from the chair and retrieved a golden bottle from the stand to refill his glass. The blackened ashtray accompanied a forest of honey-colored bottles with twist-tops snaking into the air.

Deconstructing Dé-coll/age
A loaf of bread, strobe lights, and a hunk of concrete—not every museum exhibit can claim to contain all these objects in one room. But the Harvard Art Museums’ new show, “Wolf Vostell: Dé-coll/age Is Your Life,” can, and does. The exhibition chronologically leads viewers through the development of the work of German artist Wolf Vostell (1932–1998) throughout his lifetime.
Point/Counterpoint: Simplicity in Our Studies
Sachi: “Hi, I’m a sophomore in Winthrop House concentrating in art history.” Students at Harvard should minimize the number of qualifications (such as double concentrations, secondaries, and citations) they choose to get in favor of diversifying the classes they take in college. Choosing a majority of classes based on requirements limits students intellectually and narrows their approach to academic thinking.
Conversations Between Art and Medicine
A photo of an older woman in a bright yellow coat materializes on the screen. The audience cannot see her face, but she appears in motion, with purpose and somewhere to be. A ray of sun lands on her hair, creating a prism of light at her shoulders. This photo and close-looking exercise began “Seeing in Art and Medicine: A Conversation,” a public event held at the Harvard Art Museums (HAM) last Thursday, October 5th.

“We’ll have edibles for you on the way out,” moderator Khalil Gibran Muhammad jokingly promised at the start of the Institute of Politics JFK Forum Event on Wednesday, April 12th. Though the discussion did not end with edible goodie bags, it did discuss the ramifications and historial path of the racialization and legalization of cannabis across the United States and Canada.
