Failure:Lab
Thursday, November 3, 2016 U-M Museum of Art's Apse
Failure:Lab is a story-telling event in which speakers courageously share personal experiences of failure. Like the "Less Than Perfect" exhibition, the UM Failure:Lab encouraged audience members to encounter failure as a source of insight, empathy, and growth. The event featured five storytellers from the University and Ann Arbor community; their stories were interspersed by musical performances from Michigan musicians Joy Rode, Mike Vial, Joe Broom, Angela Sheppard, Lizzy Shell, and the Jigsaw Reed Quartet.
