Mind/Body: Contemplative Art Viewing with Mitra Manesh

The gallery becomes a place to practise attention rather than hurry between objects. Mitra brings her work as a mindfulness educator, painter and poet to an hour shaped around looking closely.

Give yourself time to look, pause and notice. Mitra Manesh leads this contemplative encounter with artworks in the Fowler Museum galleries, using guided mindfulness practices to bring attention to what you see and experience. The session takes place before the museum opens to the public, offering a quieter setting for the exploration.

Join Mitra in the galleries for guided mindfulness and contemplative art viewing. The focus is on meeting the artworks with attention and noticing your own responses. The Fowler Museum presents the session in partnership with UCLA Mindful.

Reserve a free place through the official Eventbrite listing. The session lasts one hour at the Fowler Museum at UCLA, 308 Charles E Young Drive North, Los Angeles, CA 90024. Registration is listed as closing when the session begins. Arrive for the scheduled session before the museum’s regular public opening.
