Deep Time Real Time — Finissage

Deep Time Real Time culminates with a finissage program of discussions and workshops in the Design Hub Gallery.

Registration provides admission to the full afternoon of events; audience members are welcome to come and go as they wish.

12:15 – 1:00PM
Curatorial Introduction with co-curators André Bonnice and Anna Jankovic

1:00 – 2:00PM
ALL Workshop: Join Access Lab & Library (ALL) for a workshop exploring image description as a practice of quiet noticing, and an antidote to restlessness. The workshop will introduce guided perceptual exercises that slow the consumption of imagery, with space for collective reflection. Together, we’ll explore how describing artworks—in our own words and through others’—can uncover layers of meaning, foster connection, and offer access through generous exchange.

2:00 – 3:00PM
Orders of Magnitude: Architects Simulaa in conversation with designers Stuart Geddes and Žiga Testen about what a ‘time literate’ design practice might look like.

3:00 – 5:00PM
Informal closing celebration with closing remarks by co-curators André Bonnice and Anna Jankovic
