SOLD OUT: Virtual Empathy Lab: Setting the Conditions for Empathy

Cara Romero: Indigenizing Photography: The Importance of Self-Representation in the Native American Community

<div style="margin-top: 20px;"><span class="Mia-bold" style="font-size: x-large;">This is a virtual event that will take place via Zoom.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This event takes place from 10 to 11:30AM CST on May 12.</span>
</div>
<p>Join Mia for an experimental program exploring the art and science of empathy. After a thought-provoking conversation with experts to spark a critical dialogue, participants will engage in individual and group activities to put these ideas into practice. As we take a closer look at art works in Mia&#8217;s collection that surface these themes, the speakers will ask us to consider: <i>How is empathy wired in our brains, and what are the conditions that need to exist for us to become more empathic individuals?</i></p>
<h3>Featuring speakers:</h3>

<span class="Mia-bold">Sara Konrath, Ph.D.</span>, Social Psychologist and Associate Professor of Philanthropic Studies, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis<br />

<p>Please join the Friends of the Institute on May 13 as they bring you Cara Romero and “Indigenizing Photography: The Importance of Self-Representation in the Native American Community.”</p>
<p>Cara Romero was born in Inglewood, CA and raised between the rural Chemehuevi reservation in the Mojave Desert and the urban sprawl of Houston, TX. Her identity informs her photography, which is a blend of fine art and editorial photography. Her practice is shaped by years of study, and a visceral approach to representing Indigenous and non-Indigenous cultural memory, collective history, and lived experiences, from a Native American female perspective.</p>
