About This Event

Please join poet/musician Orlando Villarraga, neuroscientist Dr. Sará King, interpersonal neurobiology pioneer Dr. Dan Siegel and The Museum of Modern Art in a 90 minute immersive experience of somatic, auditory and visual engagement with opportunities throughout to share your insights. Christopher Bailey, Arts and Health Lead at the World Health Organization, will lend his insights to this event. We as a nation are approaching the complexities of an upcoming election, at the same time facing urgent issues around racial justice, climate change, and the ongoing pandemic.

The Art and Science of Hope and Justice invites you into a discussion of the neurobiology of hope, enhanced by contemplative musical immersion and reflective meditations, to highlight the importance of exercising our agency to vote in the November election. Works of art from MoMA’s collection will provide points of reflection and inquiry for presenters and participants to connect with throughout this multi sensory experience. We welcome you to engage with us in this integration of science, art, meditation, and music to bring a deeper sense of integrity and wholeness to our sense of life, igniting the power of possibility inside each of us to create a compassionate and supportive society, within our communities and the larger world in which we all live.

The Art and Science of Hope and Justice is part of the Artful Practices for Well-Being initiative at MoMA.
