Public Lectures and Talks

A group of people are seated in an auditorium during an event looking toward the stage.

The 2018 Max Wasserman Forum On Contemporary Art: Future Genders held inside the Bartos Theater at MIT.

Public programs such as artist and gallery talks, panel discussions, lectures, film screenings, and tours encourage thoughtful and provocative exchanges that address the most current topics in contemporary culture and complement our current exhibitions. Since 2010, many talks have been recorded and can be viewed in our video gallery.
