TENTATIVE PROGRAM

Location: all program takes place at the San Francisco Art Institute Fort Mason, 2 Marina Blvd, San Francisco, CA

Day 1 - Experiential

This day will encompass a set of transdisciplinary experiences from sources ranging from small art/sci collaborations to institutional, academic and corporate innovation, and will conclude with an evening reception.

9:00 am - 9:30 am
Arrival / Registration / Peripatetic Conversations

9:30 am - 10:00 am

Peripatetic Conversations by The Exploratorium

Convening attendees are invited to join in one-on-one conversations initiated by open-ended questions. The power of slowing down to contemplate and express your own ideas and then in turn, closely listen to the perspective of your conversational partner will help set an empathetic tone for subsequent activities.  Participants will make individual selections of cards containing several key questions on themes relevant to the Convening. The suggestion to walk (hence, peripatetic) during the conversation is to help support the sense that any conversation can be a journey and exploration of ideas and new perspectives.

The activity was developed by Claire Pillsbury, Program Director, and Kirstin Bach, Program Manager, Center for Art & Inquiry in collaboration with Marina McDougall, Founding Director, Center for Art & Inquiry (staff and alumna of the Exploratorium).
