Virtual Talk: Robin Wall Kimmerer
Drawing on both indigenous and scientific knowledge, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teaching of Plants, talks about the importance of cultivating a reciprocal relationship with the environment, and how understanding our connection to the land helps us connect more deeply with one another.
After this talk, enjoy a self-guided tour through Mia’s collection looking at the relationship between artists and nature, and consider how art can connect us to our shared humanity. Click here to view the self-guided tour.
The Art+ series engages guest speakers who provide fresh ideas, insight, and inspiration on a wide variety of topics, ultimately illuminating how art has the power to engage, connect, and transform those who encounter it. This program is generously supported by The Mark and Mary Goff Fiterman Fund.
