Slow Art with Friends offers a refreshing take on your regular guided museum experience. In this group experience, facilitators will guide you through activities inspired by He Xiangning’s art and life. Each activity contains an exercise in “slow looking”, a practice that encourages you to look a little longer at art.
Come alone or bring your friends and family to join in the activities and make new friends. For a richer, more immersive experience, we encourage you to actively listen, share and embrace new perspectives.
This is an interactive programme for anyone interested in exploring a different type of art engagement. No prior knowledge of art is required. Suitable for ages 13 and above.
Slow Art with Friends celebrates Slow Art Day 2026, a global event that aims to help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. Once a year, people around the world visit local museums and galleries to experience art at a contemplative pace.
