Listen to pop-up talks and view zines by adult literacy students, who will share reflections on art, the environment, and our changing city. This special gallery experience showcases the creativity of adult basic education and high school equivalency students enrolled in classes at Family Health Centers at NYU Langone, Project Reach Youth. 
In the weeks leading up to this event, the participants discussed works in our collections and exhibitions, including <a href="https://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/hiroshige-murakami" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo (feat. Takashi Murakami)</a>, and responded to these discussions by creating zines. 
The Brooklyn Museum’s art-making partnerships for adult literacy students grew out of a 2021 collaboration with ESOL teacher Caryn T. Davis.

Takashi Murakami)</a> led by Jessica Murphy, a fragrance historian and Manager of Group Experiences at the Brooklyn Museum. The Museum’s complete set of Utagawa Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo, a meticulously executed and beautifully preserved series of prints, is one of our greatest treasures. The series’ vivid colors, innovative compositions, and rich detail evoke daily life in mid-19th-century Edo (modern-day Tokyo), with an emphasis on locations where people gathered to observe the changing seasons.
In this guided tour, we’ll enhance the viewing experience by pairing selected prints with scents specially created by Brooklyn-based <a href="https://joyastudio.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joya Studio</a>. Using our senses, we’ll reflect on the tension between natural and human-made elements in Hiroshige’s vistas of a rapidly changing city.
