Seeing in Art and Medicine: A Conversation

October 5, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm

Free

Join us for a lively conversation about the exhibition Seeing in Art and Medicine and the museums’ medical humanities program that inspired it. Presenters include the program’s founders, Hyewon Hyun and David Odo, and exhibition curator Jen Thum. The talk will also include interactive segments based on the work of the program.

Seeing in Art and Medicine, on view from September 2 to December 30, 2023, invites visitors to consider the medical program’s themes of narrative, objectivity, embodiment, empathy, power, ambiguity, and care through works from across the collections. Explore big human questions and try your hand at close-looking activities in an interactive setting.

Before the discussion, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3.

Free admission, but seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The lecture will take place in Menschel Hall, Lower Level. Doors will open for seating at 5:30pm.
