Smithsonian American Art Museum
Limited Capacity seats available
Feedback Survey
This course explores solidarity through the work of Nick Cave's Mammoth exhibition. Grounded in a developing solidarity framework, participants move through making place, learning, and creating harmony. Participants will reflect on identity, culture, and belonging, engage deeply with Cave's themes of visibility, resistance, and joy, and transform their insight into creative or civic action. With this course, the museum becomes a living classroom where art sparks dialogue, critical consciousness, and connection. Participants will leave with tools to cultivate solidarity, amplify voice, and contribute to more just and humanizing communities. 

Participants will meet at the G Street Lobby of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
