Join us for a special edition of Writing Club, a collaboration between the Studio Museum in Harlem and MoMA. This series consists of three sessions: once in-person at MoMA, once in-person at the Studio Museum in Harlem, and once online via Zoom.
Aimee Meredith Cox facilitates a Writing Club with a focus on the film Looking for Langston by Isaac Julien (1989). This session will draw on the Black feminist themes across Cox’s work and will employ techniques such as conscious breathing, guided meditation, free-form and structured writing, and movement. This session will take place online via Zoom.
