Late: How We Look

A photograph showing attendees at an event in Millennium Gallery. The room is full of people sat at tables, but the camera focuses on a person at the front with long curly blonde hair. On the table in front of them there is a glass or red wine, a bottle of lucozade and a bright yellow water bottle. There are also pencils, pens and paper on the table. Other people sit at the table and they seem to be in discussion

See the gallery through fresh eyes and focus on ‘how we look’ during an evening of hands-on philosophy.

Investigate how we view ourselves, others and the world around us through facilitated discussions and creative activities, as well as interactive displays and presentations. This is philosophy for everyone – no experience required.

You’ll have the chance to explore a host of different ways to look at art that will get you thinking in new directions. We’ll get you talking to delve into ideas deeply through fun and friendly drop-in activities, as well as longer philosophical enquiry discussions which you’ll sign up for on the night; all alongside a pay bar.

You’ll get the chance to ask big questions, explore big ideas and take part in creative thinking activities, as well as have your photo taken by a professional photographer in our pop-up philosophical photo booth. It’s a whole new way to experience the galleries to get a different perspective on art and life.

Everyone can philosophise – come ready to find more questions than you do answers!
