About this event
Join us for a special April 9, 2022 immersive art exhibit and exploration on inherited trauma and the transformative nature of light!
Is it possible that a form of art could address the social challenges we face and offer paths to heal our various traumas using projected light to express unconscious, even genetic, solutions to our psycho-social maladies?
Moderator Angela Gala brings together leading thinkers and doers to address these questions and more, starting with internationally-exhibited ambient media artist and curator Brett Phares. He will share different examples of the work he has done for more than a decade with various digital projection artists. Along with therapist and social justice activist Justin Perry, LCSW, and physicist Joel Bonasera, we will explore how the nature of light could heal social trauma.
Join us at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art to see for yourself what Smithsonian Magazine and National Geographic have described as a unique and memorable art experience!

8:00pm Discussion Begins
