    Monsters & Aliens: Exploring Science Fiction Pulps

    Tuesday, October 18, 2022
    6:30pm – 7:30pm

    Join Benton educators for an interactive two-part workshop exploring "Ray Guns, Dames, and the Guilty Gaze: Feminism and the Golden Age of Science Fiction Pulps". Learn more about works of art in the exhibition through close looking and discussion with Assistant Curator/Academic Liaison Amanda Douberley.

    After examining some wild creatures in pulps, participants will try their hand at creating watercolor splatter-paint monsters with Curator of Education Mollie Sixsmith.

    A materials kit will be available at the front desk one week before the program; free for UConn students and Museum members, $5 for non-members.
