BRAINWORXX Opening reception May 6, 2021 from 6-8pm Limited capacity The Metropolitan Museum of Design Detroit (MM-O-DD) launches “BRAINWORXX” hosted within Collected Detroit, at 2439 Fourth Street. BRAINWORXX reveals the effects that nature, environmental design and the arts have on brain wellness. The ability to unlock the power of this “secret code” is essential for personal and professional health and stability. The healing properties of the natural world; physical, mental and spiritual, have been known for centuries. The inspirational qualities of the natural world have been influencing artists, designers, poets, and other great thinkers for even longer. This MM-O-DD exhibit celebrates this resurging realization. MM-O-DD provides the public access to engaging and experiential educational enrichment opportunities. As a local-to-global design culture we craft collaborative programming and community inclusion which serve as stepping-stones building awareness of the importance of balance though creativity. BRAINWORXX explores how the knowledge of and immersion in the natural environment positively impacts mental wellness. We value artistic and creative expressions as literal lifelines. This BRAINWORXX educational outreach is an inclusive platform encouraging the public to participate in furthering the conversation to encourage the use of creative expression as a tool for brain balance.
