Slow down and reflect on how art reshapes our sense of time as AMFA Curator Dr. Jennifer Jankauskas leads a thought-provoking panel discussion on the AMFA exhibition A Month of Sundays: Art and the Persistence of Time.
Panelists Dr. Paige Ford, Dr. René A. Shroat-Lewis, Susan Sims Smith, and Jennifer Wiseman will explore how artists and thinkers – from anthropologists to astronomers – reveal the diverse ways we perceive and imagine time.
Together, they invite us to look beyond the rush of daily life to consider how creativity across disciplines can expand our perspective of moments, memories, and generations.

Satellite data shows something important.
The Earth is getting brighter at night.
But not in a simple way.
Some regions are rapidly increasing light levels, while others are actively reducing them through policy and improved lighting.
Understanding these patterns is key to protecting the night sky.
