What can we learn from a life well lived? What does your life teach you is true?
Join us for a free discussion about knowledge and conviction led by Assistant Curator Alejo Benedetti and inspired by the temporary exhibition What I Know. What I Know is an exhibition about knowledge featuring artworks created with a variety of media, all expressing some core truth from the artist. Learn about the life experiences, passions, and stories behind the art as we explore the lessons learned by these artists and imbued into their striking works.
Free, no registration required.
