Noticing and Sensing: An Experimental Exhibition Tour with Abedar Kamgari

Jun 12, 2025, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

This unique exhibition tour of We are ten thousand hands that plant seeds prompts participants to approach artworks in new ways. If you find the experience of viewing contemporary art uncomfortable or intimidating, this is the tour for you.

With exhibition curator Abedar Kamgari as our guide, we will consider how we perceive, react, and make sense of what is before us. Allowing all of our senses to guide us, we will explore strategies for slowing down and remaining curious. Together, we will reflect on our collective experiment and what we may have discovered about the art, and ourselves. 

This event is free and open to adults and youth aged 16+.

Limited spots; advanced registration requested.


Participants are encouraged to bring a notebook or sketchbook. If you have any questions or there’s anything we can do to support your participation in this event, please email Hannah Keating at [email protected].
