Join us at the MIT Museum for an immersive workshop curated by artist Helga Schmid that invites visitors to explore time beyond the rigid structure of clocks and calendars.

Through installations, conversations, and sensory experiences, this program examines how time is shaped by the body, nature, and society. Imagine alternative time systems, experience soundscapes and immersive visual installations, and take part in hands-on activities like building your own sundial.

Rather than following a fixed schedule, participants are encouraged to arrive, depart, and move through the experience at their own pace—listening, walking, resting, reflecting, and discovering how energy and attention shift throughout the day.

This program is presented in conjunction with Lighten Up! On Biology and Time, featuring the work of 15 artists exploring the deep connection of living beings to the cycle of day and night.

This workshop is free with museum admission.
