TEACHx 2024

The Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University is an engine that drives questioning, experimentation, and collaboration across fields of study, with visual arts at the center. We do this by activating art’s power as a form of insight, research, and knowledge creation that makes human experience visible and material and, through this work, we create shared encounters with art and with each other to deepen understandings of the world and our place within it. In this interactive presentation, we will demonstrate how we use artworks from the Block’s collection in curricular and co-curricular contexts to foster active learning, stimulate dialogue, and engage in civil discourse, and how other units on campus can do the same.
