Student Gallery Talk: "You Just Got to Laugh"
Student Gallery Talk: "You Just Got to Laugh"
Museum intern Sara Shelton '26 will discuss her exhibition, "You Just Got to Laugh".
Why do we find things funny? Is it because we are uncomfortable or delighted or simply amused? "You Just Got to Laugh" focuses on how comedy shows up in art and how the viewer engages with it. Humor presents itself here in many forms—word games, staged scenes, or dress-up—and all of them introduce a break between our expectations and reality. In the end, we laugh, even if we feel we shouldn’t. This exhibition wants you to spend a few minutes laughing today, because even a little more of that is worth it.
