This talk will explore how the act of drawing can be a powerful mode of thinking that generates unique ways of understanding. By engaging with some of Edna Andrade’s works, we will explore how aesthetic experience is an active process that contributes to the creation of meaning.
Meet Me at the Museums is a series of talks given by our campus partners, lenders, and students about their perspective on works in the collection. The series widens the circle of our offerings, allowing for a richer diversity of viewpoints, surprising interdisciplinary connections and research, and unique perspectives about our collections and exhibitions.
