Dyani White Hawk – Visitor Response Cards
What do you notice when you slow down and look closely?
As part of The Living Room at The Block Museum, Student Associates invited visitors to respond to close-looking prompts designed to spark observation, interpretation, and conversation. These prompts encouraged participants to draw connections between what they see and what they think — on their own or in dialogue with others.
On this page, we’ve gathered a selection of those reflections collected during the presentation of Dyani White Hawk's “They Gifted (Night)” and "They Gifted (Day)." Together, they capture the many ways our community engages with art and show how thoughtful looking can open up new ideas, questions, and perspectives.

CONNECT – They Gifted (Night) and They Gifted (Day)
