Join Maddie Brucker, PhD candidate in Computer Science and Learning Sciences, for a talk on art, learning, and interconnection.

Block gallery talks explore exhibitions by posing multidisciplinary questions and perspectives, led by faculty, staff, students, and community members across Northwestern. In this talk, Maddie Brucker will discuss how encounters with art are sites of learning that are often deeply intertwined with endeavors of social changemaking. 

Maddie Brucker is a multidisciplinary artist and PhD candidate in Computer Science and Learning Sciences at Northwestern. Her research aims to locate learning and critical possibility in the relational endeavors of artistic production and artists’ community-making. She uses ethnographic methods to study how artists learn and develop new tools and techniques while simultaneously building community structures that exist outside of, and often in opposition to, formal institutions. 

This event is presented by the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science in conjunction with Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology.
