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

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’s collection that surface these themes, the speakers will ask us to consider: How is empathy wired in our brains, and what are the conditions that need to exist for us to become more empathic individuals?

Featuring speakers:

Karleen Gardner, Mia’s Director of Learning Innovation and the Center for Empathy & the Visual Arts
Sara Konrath, Ph.D., Social Psychologist and Associate Professor of Philanthropic Studies, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis
Terry Wu, Ph.D., Neuroscientist and founder of Why The Brain Follows
Nate Garvis, Co-Founder of Studio/E
