\nAbout “Lets Talk”
\nJuly – October, 2020
\nAs part of the \u2018MONUMENTS NOW\u2018 exhibition, Socrates\u2019 Lead Educator Douglas Paulson has designed a program, \u201cLet\u2019s Talk,\u201d to facilitate safely socially-distant conversations exploring monuments, current events, speculations about the future, and all things in between.<\/p>\n
For several hours every day (weather permitting), Doug will be stationed at the Park\u2019s unmistakable mirrored entry kiosk \u2013 ‘Objects In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear’ by School Studio \u2013 to record visitors\u2019 thoughts on questions left by previous visitors.\u00a0 Each participant is also invited to leave a question for the next visitor to answer. A summary of every interaction is then displayed on one of the conversation boards spread throughout the Park \u2013 inspiring future visitors to participate. As the number of responses grow, the conversation boards become layered with divergent and parallel ideas that may help others consider new perspectives. To contribute to \u201cLet\u2019s Talk,\u201d you can visit the Park and talk to Doug in-person (mask required); follow and contribute to the conversation on Instagram by tagging @socratespark and using #LetsTalkAtSocrates; or by emailing Doug at dp@socratessculpturepark.org with the subject line \u201cLet\u2019s Talk\u201d.
