The Wende Museum is proud to support Stanford School of Medicine in presenting a new, collaborative guest speaker series entitled “Art Across Boundaries" which examines the overlap between visual arts and science and how the two areas can inspire and enrich each other. Join us for a conversation with Liat Segal.

Liat Segal is a contemporary media artist who fuses art, science, and technology. Segal observes human existence in an age of Big Data by materializing the digital through software, electronics, mechanics, and information as her artistic mediums. In her works, she questions identity, autonomy, intimacy, privacy, control, memory, presence, communication, and originality. Segal’s artworks have been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, on Earth and in Outer Space, including the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, Israel Museum, Museum für Angewandte Kunst Frankfurt, Gwangju Cultural Foundation, South Korea, and onboard the International Space Station.

Medical Humanities and the Arts Symposium 2025!

The Center for Biomedical Ethics is proud to announce this year’s annual Medicine & the Muse Student Symposium, a celebration of the many artistic, literary, musical and other creative scholarly talents at the Stanford School of Medicine by students, trainees and faculty, and a special performance by the Stanford Medicine Orchestra, comprised of Stanford Medicine and Stanford Health faculty, staff, students, alumni and family members, who will perform Pierné - Konzertstück for Harp and Orchestra, Op. 39 Mussorgsky/Ravel.

This year's theme is Beacon of Hope: Art as a Light in Medicine, exploring the profound role art plays in the healing journey, offering a beacon of hope for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike. This theme highlights how creativity—whether through visual arts, music, dance, or literature—serves as a powerful tool for emotional expression, mental well-being, and healing. In the face of illness, art provides solace, sparks resilience, and fosters a deeper connection to one’s inner strength. By bridging the worlds of medicine and art, Beacon of Hope showcases the transformative potential of creativity to uplift, inspire, and offer light in times of darkness.

Don’t miss cellist Joshua Roman’s upcoming performance of the Saint Saëns Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor with the Stanford Medicine Orchestra at Bing Concert Hall on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

"Immunity" is an intimate musical exploration of cellist Joshua Roman’s life-altering, inspiring experience of ongoing long COVID, with music ranging from J. S. Bach to George Crumb to Caroline Shaw, as well as Roman’s own compositions. The program combines performance and storytelling into an emotional journey, as the cellist confronts the impact of the illness and the limitations that nearly ended his career, before progressing through a period of doubt, struggle, refocus, and renewal, culminating in a profound acceptance of self and a deeper connection to what's most important in life.

Today! How Do You Feel? An Evening with Jessi Gold, MD

Mon, 10/28, 6-7pm

For Dr. Jessi Gold, everything was absolutely fine—until it suddenly wasn’t. As an assistant professor, practicing psychiatrist, university wellness leader, regular media expert, and dedicated friend and family member, Jessi was used to being constantly busy. After all, people—her patients, colleagues, and loved ones—needed her, so who was she to say no to any opportunity to help, be that an extra therapy session, corporate wellness talk, or favor for a friend. She was a doctor, trained to serve, to put the needs of others before her own. But when Jessi is so mentally overwhelmed that she commits an unthinkable error during a patient session, she’s forced to reevaluate everything that the medical system has taught her.
