Webinar: The Power and Impact of Images

Wednesday, April 8, 12:30-1:30 pm
Jessica Hong, Associate Curator of Global Contemporary Art
Vivian Ladd, Teaching Specialist
On the occasion of the exhibition Reconstitution, which is presently inaccessible to the public, the Hood Museum will facilitate a conversation about the power and impact of images. As we find ourselves having to move into the virtual space for the time being, we will invite our audience to consider several questions: How do these images change or transform? What new issues or discussions arise? How can we create a productive, critical space for conversation? Click here to register!

Guided Group Tours

Guided group tours for community and school groups are available by appointment upon the reopening of the museum to public access. Call 603-646-1469 for information about the tours.
