As part of Humanities Day at the University of Chicago, engage with three distinct exhibitions at the Smart Museum of Art through a guided exploration of a selection of artworks on view.
Attendees will learn more about the exhibitions Ruth Duckworth: Life as a Unity, Poetry is Everything, and Calling on the Past and participate in looking closely at ceramics, paintings, and mixed-media works. May Peterson and Kirsten Lopez will lead the tours. Peterson and Lopez are academic engagement graduate fellows within the Smart Museum’s Feitler Center for Academic Inquiry.
After the tours, visitors are encouraged to continue their own exploration in the galleries.
FREE, but space is limited. Register online at humanitiesday.uchicago.edu.
