The artists from Mirror Cells host a conversation about their work with an interdisciplinary group of scientists, scholars, and curators. Speakers will include neuroscientist Dr. Sara Constantino, psychoanalyst Dr. Ezra Feinberg, curator Jody Graf, artist Ben Morgan-Cleveland, art historian Leah Pires, and curator Herb Tam. The artists will introduce the invited speakers, who will discuss their perspectives on the artists' practices. An open discussion with the audience concludes the program.

Tickets are required ($10 adults; $8 members, students and seniors). Please note: This event has reached ticketing capacity. A limited number of standby tickets may be available at the admissions desk on a first-come, first-served basis. The standby line will open one hour prior to the program’s start time.
