Slow Looking at Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art

Need a midweek reset? Step away from your inbox and into an artwork.

This guided session invites you to spend time deeply engaging with a single artwork from Tephra ICA's current exhibition, A Land and ?/River. Together, we’ll spend 15 minutes quietly looking closely with gentle prompts offered along the way, then gather for conversation—an experience that’s as much about connecting with others (IRL) as it is about connecting with art.

No prior knowledge required, just curiosity. Step away from the day-to-day, slow down, and see what reveals itself when you really look and share observations.
