ASU-LACMA Navigating change in museums lecture series | Chloe Holly Hayward | Teaching, Healing and Holding Space: Museums in Times of Change

March 5 | 1 to 2 p.m. MST | Zoom

Join Chloe Holly Hayward for a thirty-minute lecture on “Teaching, Healing, and Holding Space: Museums in Times of Change.” What is art therapy? What does it mean to educate? How can we utilize the intersection of art and care to challenge and reimagine institutional norms? Explore the potential of artist-run, community-focused models of exhibition making that shift ideologies to create a new ethos across cultural institutions. Gain a deeper understanding of the work happening across museums that activate permanent collections, serve communities and provide spaces of care and support through a model of practice that uplifts creativity and collective change.
