The free, one-hour session pairs mindfulness practices, gallery visits and guided discussion with The Age of Anxiety, AMFA’s exhibition on German art and 1920s film.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Albert Bloch’s 1912 painting Duell predates the political and economic turmoil that frames AMFA’s The Age of Anxiety. Its place in an exhibition that also includes postwar art and 1920s films gives Mindful Living’s focus on change and uncertainty a broader historical frame.
The Age of Anxiety: German Expressionism in Art and Film looks at how artists responded to Germany’s political and economic upheaval after World War I. It places paintings and graphic works beside images from films including The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), Nosferatu (1921) and Metropolis (1927), whose filmmakers pushed horror and science fiction in new directions.
The artworks span more than the postwar years. Alongside Bloch’s prewar Duell, the exhibition includes Käthe Kollwitz’s 1920 woodcut In Memoriam Karl Liebknecht and Otto Dix’s 1922 watercolor-and-gouache Nebel am Abend (Fog in the Evening). These works illustrate the exhibition’s range, but AMFA has not named particular artworks for the November session’s gallery visits. The exhibition is in the Harriet and Warren Stephens Family Gallery through January 10, 2027.

Mindful Living combines mindfulness practices, gallery visits and guided discussion. Specialists from the UAMS Mindfulness Program collaborate on the series, which AMFA describes as centering listening and expression. That mix makes the hour distinct from a standard docent tour: art is part of a conversation about how people respond to uncertainty, not simply a sequence of works to cover.
The listing does not name an individual facilitator or specify exercises, prompts or a gallery route. The exhibition’s calendar also lists a November 11 screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and a November 19 Art Insights: The Intersection of Art and Film. Those are separate programs, not parts of the Mindful Living session.
