In a week when the world has continued to be gripped by protests against racial injustice and by calls for urgent change, we thank each of you who got involved in the conversation in some way and who stood in solidarity with our communities of color.

We’re pleased that you also took time to engage with us as we continue to share, through our digital channels, the rich and varied stories of art and the human experience. Recently, we crowdsourced an art investigation through our social channels, focusing on an intriguing portrait by Julien Hudson, shown above. We encourage you to join the discussion.

With our Materials Lab closed, we are also bringing creative, free art-making activities online. Our live virtual events continue to spark conversation among participants near and far, and more are soon to be announced. All are welcome—invite your friends. 

This week on Harvard Art Museums from Home:

• Read how we use works from the collections to help doctors decompress. 
• NEW in Index! See what separates a real Lissitzky from a fake.  
• NEW for families! Get a taste of the Materials Lab experience at home! Inspired by works in the collections, these prompts invite you to create art and experiment with artistic processes using materials found around the house. 
• Our virtual events continue with an Art Study Center Seminar on June 19 and Ho Family Student Guide Tours running on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
