Seeing Ourselves: A Gallery Talk & Self-Portrait Workshop with Natalie Daise
Join artist, educator, and storyteller Natalie Daise for a special morning of looking, reflecting, and creating inspired by the Museum's exhibition When I See Myself, I See…
The program begins with a guided gallery talk led by Daise, inviting participants to explore themes of identity, representation, and self-expression through the exhibition. Following the conversation, participants will put their own stories into practice during a guided self- portrait workshop, using art as a way to reflect on how we see (and want to be seen by) ourselves and others.
This event is free with general admission to the Museum or membership.
