One of this year’s Storytellers, Brooklyn-based taxidermy artist Divya Anantharaman, led a butterfly/moth preservation workshop where fellows learned to preserve moths sourced after their natural deaths.

The workshop offered a hands-on way to explore themes that surfaced throughout DISI, from life, death, and memory to our relationships with the more-than-human world.

Thanks, Divya, for sharing your practice with us 🦋

And just like that, The Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute 2026 has come to a close! 💡

This year, we gathered at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York, for weeks of rigorous interdisciplinary exploration, deep conversation, and collaborative inquiry into the many ways intelligence takes shape across minds, species, and systems.

We couldn’t have asked for a more energetic, curious, and engaged group of Fellows and Storytellers. The questions were ambitious, the scholarship expansive, and the conversations rarely ended when the sessions did.

Thank you to everyone who brought their ideas, expertise, creativity, and curiosity to DISI this year. What a joy it is to learn alongside one another.

Always a DISI highlight! The salon gives each storyteller a chance to share a window into their creative practice: the questions, ideas, and curiosities shaping how they see the world.

Kicked off lectures today with Erica Cartmill (DISI Co-Director) on “Recognizing Intelligences,” Jacob Foster (DISI Co-Director) on “Programming Intelligences,” and Kensy Cooperrider (DISI Associate Director) on “Shaping Intelligences.”

Looking forward to the next three weeks of lectures, discussions, exploration and inquiry. 🧠
