On this tour, Milen Negasi ’25 will explore the critical role that materials can play in communicating an artist’s experiences. As a student of neuroscience, Negasi has focused her research on memory and the way experiences shape the self. She will bring similar concerns to her consideration of three works: Joan Snyder’s painting Summer Orange (1970), Jane Yang-D’Haene’s stoneware vessel inspired by Korean moon jars (2023), and the marble sculpture Nature Study (1986) by Louise Bourgeois.
Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.
Please check in with museum staff at the Admissions desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Tours are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
