What — and who — do we choose to elevate, and what do these choices say about who we are? In this immersive workshop, participants will use close-looking and perspective-taking Thinking Routines to examine two works of monumental art at the National Museum of Asian Art: Public Figures by Do Ho Suh and Vishnu's Cosmic Ocean. By examining examples of classroom application and student work, participants will leave with practical, replicable strategies for helping students anywhere explore how civic and sacred monuments shape collective memory and responsibility.
