Join HuMed@FWMD at The Modern Art Museum for sessions exploring how we connect with art! Moving away from the desire to understand or explain it, and considering each work as a method of investigating what makes us human. This interactive workshop is an opportunity to build skills in observation, examination, self-awareness and perspective-taking.
Thursday, May 19 | 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Admission to The Modern is free for this program.
