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.
