Join artist Faith Couch and Gallery Experience Coordinator Leah Moment for a special edition of Study Jams, a conversation-based program where audience members help shape the discussion.
Drawing connections between the artist’s practice and Rahim Fortune’s Between a Memory and Me, participants are invited to share observations, ask questions, and explore ideas together. Through dialogue rather than lecture, Study Jams creates opportunities for deeper engagement with contemporary art, photography, memory, and community.
Whether you’re a practicing artist, a regular museum visitor, or simply curious, your perspective is part of the conversation.
Faith Couch (b. 1997) is a photographer and visual artist whose practice centers self-depiction as a method of reshaping visual histories that have often excluded or flattened Black life. Constructing cinematic photographs that exist between documentation and fabrication, her work considers how Black subjects inhabit, resist, and reimagine historical and contemporary image regimes. Couch received her BFA in Photography from the Maryland Institute College of Art and holds an MFA in Photography from Yale University. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Aperture Foundation, Fotografiska, and Les Rencontres d’Arles. She has worked editorially with Vogue, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, and was named to Forbes 30 Under 30.
