Join us at the Boulder JCC to experience the captivating traveling exhibition, The Bias Inside Us, brought to you directly from the Smithsonian Institution.
The Bias Inside Us is a Smithsonian traveling exhibition and community-engagement project that will raise awareness about the social science and impact of implicit bias. This exhibition provides an opportunity for people to learn about implicit bias and reflect on their own biases and how they impact their actions. Projects like this can expose us to other ideas and groups outside our own. This exposure can lead to meaningful dialogue, positive change, greater empathy, and increased inclusivity.
There will be a guided tour of the exhibit, followed by a facilitated conversation. This event is free, and light refreshments will be provided.
Attendees are welcome to stay for the opening of 'The Triumphant Spirit' at the Messinger Gallery Exhibit afterwards. Ignited by an impromptu visit to the Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany, Nick Del Calzo spent the next five years creating 145 portraits of Holocaust survivors in 12 states. Some 72 portraits are included in this award-winning book that received a glowing tribute in the Congressional Record and was selected by the American Library Association as one of the "Best Books for Young Adults".
