Museums and Mental Health
Friday, October 16, 12-1 pm
Explore what it means for art museums to center mental health as part of the visitor experience during the age of COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter Movement with Kajette Solomon, Education Program Coordinator, RISD Museum, and Damion Vania, Clinical Counselor, RISD. This open dialogue will include how museums can be both spaces of healing and curiosity and trigger traumatic experiences and negative emotions. How can art make visitors feel seen and considered? How can art museums put us in touch with our senses and ultimately elevate the human experience?
