We have something cool to share with all you deep thinkers and curious creatives.

One of the local AWT26 Artist, Alexandra Ensor has been invited to a very cool free evening event at Millenium Gallery created by Rosie Carnall to share about her work 'How My Autism Makes Me Feel' .

Late: Philosophy 2026 - How We Look
Thu 23 April 2026 , 7pm-10pm - Millennium Gallery

BOOK NOW - https://www.sheffieldmuseums.org.uk/whats-on/late-how-we-look/

See the gallery through fresh eyes and focus on ‘how we look’ during an evening of hands-on philosophy.

Investigate how we view ourselves, others and the world around us through facilitated discussions and creative activities, as well as interactive displays and presentations. This is philosophy for everyone – no experience required.

You’ll have the chance to explore a host of different ways to look at art that will get you thinking in new directions. We’ll get you talking to delve into ideas deeply through fun and friendly drop-in activities, as well as longer philosophical enquiry discussions which you’ll sign up for on the night; all alongside a pay bar.

You’ll get the chance to ask big questions, explore big ideas and take part in creative thinking activities, as well as have your photo taken by a professional photographer in our pop-up philosophical photo booth. It’s a whole new way to experience the galleries to get a different perspective on art and life.

Everyone can philosophise – come ready to find more questions than you do answers!

Sheffield Museums Lates are a night out with a difference. These after-hours special events are a place where adults can explore, enjoy, and be entertained. Lates span a wide range of themes and topics, bringing together activities, talks, workshops, and a pay bar. Try something new, have fun, and experience an alternative night out at the museum.
