Animal intelligence has long been discounted or ignored. Now, it is a new field opening our understanding of animal consciousness and our interconnectedness with the natural world. Join Pam McClusky, a senior curator at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) for an engaging presentation and conversation that highlights her research and how it lead to the current ground breaking exhibition at SAM, titled "A Room for Animal Intelligence.'
Pam will share some unexpected advances in unlocking the secrets of animal intelligence, as creatures sign, chitter, buzz, bellow, and howl for various reasons, offering insights that will transform the way you view, consider, and think about our fellow travelers in the web of life.
