Workshop

No upcoming events

Dance/movement psychotherapist Jennifer Sterling leads this Slow Looking session along with staff in MoMA’s Department of Education. In this 75-minute workshop, explore a photograph by the artist Roy DeCarava through a series of guided activities, including close looking, writing, drawing, and movement. Our intention is to offer a welcoming, calm space for individuals to experience and respond to art together. This session is part of the initiative Artful Practices for Well-Being, which offers ideas for connectedness and healing through art.

Jennifer Sterling is a bestselling author, registered dance/movement psychotherapist, and the creator of Bodyful Healing—an initiative that offers support and resources to Black women living with depression. Having witnessed and experienced the effects of oppressive systems on Black women, Sterling focuses on reducing the stigma around mental illness within Black communities and educating others about the adverse effects of oppression on Black women”s bodies.
