Rose B. Simpson is a mixed-media artist whose work addresses the emotional and existential impacts of our collective humanity. Her practice is grounded in the ancestral pottery traditions of the Santa Clara Pueblo, where she was born, raised, and currently lives. Simpson’s sculptural works imagine a future where people are reconnected with land, rather than further detached from it. Simpson’s exhibition The Four is currently on view at the Museum.

Join us in September with for a conversation with Jennifer Oxman Ryan, researcher and senior project manager on the Pedagogy of Play initiative at Project Zero, a research organization based at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Through this program, we will explore play as the heart of childhood. Through play, children learn how to collaborate, how to negotiate rules and relationships, and how to imagine, create, and dream. They learn to solve problems, think flexibly and critically, and communicate effectively. Whether playing with objects, engaging in pretend play, or tinkering with ideas and testing theories, children’s play is essential to their social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth. In this session, we’ll discuss what it means to embrace play as a core way that children learn in school. Participants will have an opportunity to consider and discuss the role of play in their own teaching and learning context. 

This program is hosted virtually on Zoom.
