Empathizing with Our Other Through Art

Art has a unique ability to help people understand their other. It immerses us into their experience in way that allows us to confront their difference while giving us room to process our own story. Join me for a workshop that showcases new ways to engage with the art all around us, whether that be the TV shows we watch, music we listen too, or the articles we read online. All of these moments are opportunities for us to learn how to better empathize with another person's story. This workshop will give everyone the chance to practice seeing their other with new eyes.
