After Dark: Listen
Please note, tonight's feature presentation of 32 Sounds has limited capacity, and seats are first come, first served. Doors open at 7pm.
Shhh . . . do you hear that? Hearing is one of the first senses a new baby usually develops as a way of understanding the world, as it allows us to take in complex and nuanced information about our environment. Listening helps us judge size, distance, and velocity--crucial survival skills in prehistoric times and modern alike. In addition, sounds can communicate both threat and affection and evoke a world of emotions and memories. Tonight, come celebrate our unique capacity to listen. Explore our collection of sonic exhibits and then join our feature presentation of 32 Sounds (2023, 98 mins.), a meditation on the power of sound by Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Sam Green.
