The feeling is mutual: a pop-up interactive exhibition exploring how and why we come together as a community
December 6 – December 13, 2025
opening reception: Friday, December 5 from 6pm - 7:30pm
gallery hours: Thurs, Friday, and saturday 11am - 5pm
What brings us together during hard times? What makes us want to, or not want to, interact with each other? This all-ages pop-up interactive exhibition explores these fundamental questions about the connections we build across cultures, perspectives, and experiences. Six participatory installations invite you to interact with tactile and digital objects about how we build community and experience things together. Our gestures, spices and empathy connect us. Our physical spaces, soundscapes and clothing bring us together. We invite curious learners of all ages to dig deeper on the science and experience of being together. We’re more alike than we think, and connections are always in reach.
