The DPE Community Psychoanalysis & the Arts Committee presents “Inhabiting the Black Body in the Present Moment”

Join us at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to view the artworks of two internationally acclaimed contemporary artists, with psychoanalytic and art interpretative commentary. Kara Walker’s new site specific commission, “Fortuna and the Immortality Garden” presents the artist’s reflections about inhabiting a black body during a historically traumatic time, with moving cyborgian sculptural figures atop a sea of healing black obsidian volcanic glass. We’ll also view the more joyous, relational, “American Sublime,” Amy Sherald’s world premiere mid-career exhibition. Her paintings expand our art historical canon with new forms of black figurative portraiture, including well known portraits of Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor.

Gamynne Guillotte, SFMOMA’s Chief Education and Community Engagement Officer will give a brief presentation to our group, in dialogue with members of our own analytic community.

Our private 1-hour tour begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. in the SFMOMA Roberts Family Gallery, a 10-minute walk or short Uber from the Palace Hotel to the Museum.

Following the tour, we encourage participants to gather at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis for an open house, to tour the facilities and continue the conversation.

Tickets are $10
