SEE MEMORY: Art, Science & Storytelling in the Classroom
How does the brain transform experience into meaning?
SEE MEMORY opens that conversation — blending art, psychology, and neuroscience into a deeply human exploration of how we remember, and how we heal.
Created from over 30,000 hand-painted frames, Viviane Silvera’s award-winning PBS film SEE MEMORY invites students and faculty to experience memory as both a biological and imaginative process. The film is accompanied by a 113-page teaching guide and discussion toolkit developed with scientists and therapists, making it ideal for courses in neuroscience, psychology, film, art, and narrative medicine.
