WCMA at Night January 28, 2016 - During winter study 2016, a group of Williams students—led by socially engaged artist Lexa Walsh—made the Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA) their classroom. They experimented with ways to bring the museum to life. The students learned about innovative practices in public engagement, interpretation, and institutional critique and developed a series of dynamic interventions that reconsidered what a museum could be and what visitors could experience in the museum space. The projects included an interactive still life, emoji labels, unconventional tours including a sightless tour, poetry audio guide, and sound tour, labels installed for benches, and sound installations put together by the Sounds Across the Arts winter study. These projects came together for the public during the January 28 WCMA at Night program.
