Feeling Healing
Neuroscientist, mindfulness teacher, and founder of the “Science of Social Justice” framework, Dr. Sará King recently launched her third project with the Museum of Modern Art in New York, titled, “Art and Awareness as a Catalyst for Collective Healing.” This installation pairs artwork with soundscapes to explore how increased awareness of ourselves, our environment, society, and culture can help heal intergenerational trauma. “There’s something so visceral about standing in front of a gigantic painting and bearing witness to the emotions and other sensations that arise within the soma,” King says.
Paging Dr. Wonder
Art and science are both rooted in a sense of wonder and desire to understand the world—this is the foundational principle of ArtMed inSight, a consulting organization founded by artist Anne Willieme that brings the study of art to medical education. With classes and collaborations with prominent universities and hospitals in the US, ArtMed inSight aims to help medical staff and students explore self-awareness, emotional intelligence, human experience, and vulnerability by learning about and interpreting art.
Documenting Hope
At the main campus of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, an art gallery features several exhibitions each year to encourage inspiration, dialogue, and different points of view. Their exhibition “Celebrations: Selections from 100” features photos taken by documentary photographer Lynn Johnson, displaying moments of sadness, determination, hope, and healing at the hospital to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
